Londonderry offered several popular dance halls, a city wall centuries old (bottom left) and row upon row of row houses. A day bus tour (opposite page) was organized, which featured a meal in a nearly deserted hotel ( right center ) , spectacular scenery, and opportunities to meet the people ( bottom left. ) A bus load of men landing in their front yard failed to perturb the occupants of a thatched roof house (top right.) Primary purpose of the ship ' s visit to Lon- donderry, however, was participation in anti-submarine exercises with the British Navy. Four days operations demonstrated exactly what surface vessels were up against, and showed the necessity for close co-opera- tion among NATO Navies. V ' %;-ujtiIitt4 ji«b.I. ' ' - ' . ' j. ' Invergorden, Scotland Invergorden is the home of 1500 people, the British Navy, and un- counted thousands of sheep. The har- bor is a British Naval training center, and training was the purpose of the McGowan ' s visit. Operations during three days, again, showed the realism of British exercises, and the import- ance of NATO inter-fleet maneuvers. Another bus tour visited the Scot- tish highlands, with more scenery (bottom). Unfortunately, the bus was not suited for mountainous driving and on most hills tlie customers walked (left). I fl XJM J f ,. m T ' TT ' : . ■.ji . . • ■. ■' htk: . Kiel, Germany ' ' i S ij Boat racing, color, and gaiety marked war-torn Kiel as the ship transited the Kiel Canal ( upper right and cen- ter). Kieler Woche was a pleasant experience for all concerned; a rifle team was organized to meet the chal- lenge of a local shooting club (bottom right). Hundreds of visitors each day kept the duty section busy (following page), and Mc- Gowan men hoped they came away with higher regard for the United States and its Navy. 1 f sv N .j mm ' W mik - t F _V7: -J H H tfl f f j|ir,ff]l I ' Jlg d lfgjg piffllS !! :  iiM« d W | '  Z. San SebaKCian Spain San Sebastian is a resort area along the northern coast of Spain, about eight miles south of France. Its secluded harbor has a public beach, which in itself is ample rea- ion to visit the city (bot- tom.) This harbor has such a narrow entrance that no ves- sels except fishing craft and smaller may enter; conse- quently the McGowan was moored in Puerto de Passaje (top and middle), two miles east of San Sebastian. A tour was taken through San Sebastian (left) and the neighbor- ing Basque country. In Loyola, famous for its cathedral ( lower right ) , McGowan men saw a good example of the Spanish siesta ( lower left ) , as the streets fast be- came deserted during the noon hours. ,AZPEITIASt ELGOIBARS ' H Approximately 2000 citizens of San Sebastian attended the basketball game between Mc- Gowan personnel and the local champions. Wells and Olenick make scoring attempts (right,) while Coach Kinley does his best in the half-time (above). wx • B 4 • .h 1 s. Gibraltar, B.C.C. Shortage of a vitally needed part kept the McGowan in Gibraltar for almost two weeks; all hands had many opportunities to explore old gun mounts ( below ) , or tun - nels on the Rock (below, right) or the local bars which were many and varied (bot- tom). One aspect of Gibraltar detracting from the Rock was Dolores (above left). A local chorus girl, Dolores held many imported, amateur, anonymous photographers spell- bound. Other type personnel went in for the scenery, some of which is reproduced below. rp Tangier f - r-ti , ' trn f ' t- 4 1 1 .. A The ship ' s visit to Tangier featured a special briefing by the Captain ( upper left ) . Subjects included the danger of taking pictures of Mos- lem women, venturing into dark alleys, and dealing with peddlers. New Tangier (below) is quite Europeanized, and markedly different from Old Tangier (left). The Sultan ' s Pal- ace, in the old city gave a view of old and new Tangier, as well as the ships at anchor ( below right. ) Merchants in the market place ( above right) sold everything from millstones to violently colored fabrics, Coca-Cola, and Aloha shirts. ' • ■.;• ' Palma, Mallorca Bellver Castle domiriLites Palma (above and left) and altliDugh over 700 years old, its sturdy construc- tion and thorough care have left it in fine preser- vation. I ' or many men, Palma was the scene of their first bulltight. Bullfighting excited the curiosity of many, but afterwards the pro and con arguments tended to be violent. Thousands watched the age old pagean- try as the bull was led to his inevitable death.

In Gibralter, the sonarmen repaired a noisy sonar dome; Jankiewicz pre- pares to dive while Mullen and Galicki provide him with air. The boat crew was alerted from time to time, as the ship sped to a ditched aviator (above). -1 . --• Deck Routine Air Action Starboard! All Ahead Flank! -(?
