The Northampton, in October l954, ended her period of basic equipment evaluation and put to sea with the rest of the Fleet. Her first duty was to carry the Flag of ComPhib- Lant, which she did until I9 November l954. Then, on 29 November, l954, she sailed for the Mediterranean to hoist the Flag of Commander Sixth Fleet, Vice Admiral Thomas S. Combs, USN. This book is concerned with our time in the Med, lt's purpose is to span that period, from November l954 to March l955, in such fashion as to keep alive the strange sights and sounds which we experienced, to remind us of the good friends made abroad, to let us bring back to our families and our loved ones something of the flavor of this memorable experience and, not least in importance, to keep alive in our minds the professional competence learned to make an effective fighting unit in a mobile fleet. As we recall the pleasant aspects of this trip let us also keep in mind the need and value to our friends, our Allies and our- fselvespyoyfx an effective naval fighting force in the blue wa- ters of ,rthekhlediterranean sea lanes. WithfQthis,5thought in view, l dedicate this book to the fine Ship's'Cornpany of the USS Northampton. Q ..,1... I
