V ,,fi, ,I as , Who can forget the incredible steps up Mt. Carmel? Our visit to Haifa, Israel, was educational for both the sailors and Marines of NASSAU and MARG 4-87 and the citizens of Israel. For our sailors and Marines, tours were offered to such historic landmarks as Masada, Acco, Galilee and limited touring of jerusalem. Groups of sailors and Marines were invited out to sample life on a kibbutz. Many were impressed at the efficiency of communal life. Also during the touring, special opportunities were presented for baptisms in the river jordan. All in all, everyone took advantage of this chance to learn more about one of America's closest allies in the Middle East. On the flip side, the presence of NASSAU and the other ships of the MARG was providing an educational experience for the military and civilian populace of Haifa. On one day of open house visiting, NASSAU alone hosted more than 1,400 curious Israelis who poured aboard the ship eager to learn more about the ship and the men aboard. VIP's who visited during this port visit included many high ranking members of the Israeli military, the American Ambassador to Israel and the actor Lou Gossett, jr., who was in Haifa filming scenes for his new motion picture Iron Eagle II. 35

A highlight of our Haifa port visit was an evening of song and dance performed for the sailors and Marines of NASSAU by the dancers of the folk dance troupe Kiryat Motzkinf' These talented youngsters, taken from every aspect of Israeli culture and from around the country and taught the intricacies of the many types of folk dance native to Israel, performed a more than two-hour show to the delight of the several hundred crewmembers and embarked Marines. The show also included several sing-along segments and, again, NASSAU crewmembers were quick to join in on the fun. Smiles spread through the crowd far more quickly than did the proper pronunciation of Hebrew lyrics sung to unfamiliar tunes. But soon, both Israeli and American were singing in unison, if not harmony. The evenings entertainment concluded with what an American might call a hoe down as the lithe young dancers went into the crowd and invited crewmembers to join in the dance. Captain and Mrs. Lucas were seen to be joining in on the fun as was NASSAU'S Executive Officer, Captain Vion Crightj.
