FIRST LIBERTY PORT - Wainwright rounds the bend into Gaeta, The USS Mac- Donough and USS Sellers also visited the town. Forrestal saw much underway time. The two ships did so much steaming together, that Forrestal began re- ferring to the two ships as the battle pair. At the beginning of August, WAINWRIGHT traveled to Mar- seilles, where tragedy struck the ship. STG3 Douglas Lundquist drowned in the waters off the Mar- seilles seawall. A memorial service was held for him on 15 August. WAINWRIGHT left Mar- seilles to participate in Exercise Seawind with Egyptian forces. This exercise took WAINWRIGHT to the eastern Med. A planned port vis- it to Haifa was cancelled and a visit to the Sicilian resort town of Toar- mina was scheduled for late August and early September. In Toarmina, the first MTT team boarded WAINWRIGHT to prepare her for an out-chop OPPE.
