Hx- H -- 4 - sulP'sU0MPLEMENT FIR TDI l I0 HERE is OF COURSE, just one purpose in setting 327,000,000 afloat and calling it the USS VVORCESTER, and that purpose is to shoot. All other considerations are secondary, and the Gunnery Department is solely responsible lor that function. All other departments serve and assist the people ol the Gunnery Divisions. Of these divisions, the First Division has the whole three- inch battery, the ship's secondary or AA Battery. They keep the battery in fighting shape, and man most of the mounts for battle. They are also responsible for the upkeep and fine appearance of their part of the ship, this includes most of the superstruc- ture and roughly lf3rd of the main deck. This area is open to the inspection of all who pass in sight, and the reputation of the ship and the Navy depends on it. If the fireroom is dirty, the Engineers know about it. If the topside is dirty, all on board and all who see the YVORCESTER know. The First Division has an organifc-cl and equipped machine gun platoon in the Landing lfoire. liither alloat or ashore, they know how to shoot and lor liinilecl operations ashore they are consitlerecl a sizeable lorcee. For Deck Seanianship, the lfirsl Division hoatswains and their trained seamen, can and ninst, be able to do any thing from make a ball lender to rigging for underway fueling' at sea. The First Division also keeps and runs the Captain's Gig, and that all purpose work boat ol' the ship, that goes into the water every time the ship slows to hve knots, Number One Motor lfVhale Boat. They pay their own way on the ship by furnishing men for scullery duty, and lor living spaces and washrooin cleaniness. And, if you are important enough to rate them, you will be met on the quarter deck by two smart, spotless seamanlike First Division Sideboys, when you come on board. This is, in all respects, the Ship's FIRST DIVISION. W-H' . 'W' ww'-an .1 ,., .v-:sf ' ' E 1 First Row: Samuel N. Hed- riek, BM2g Axvilllillll Matthes, GMSN: Max E.

Any man who has been in the Mighty Duce since that date will lay money on the line that the Second Division puts in more hours during turn to and after working hours than any other ship they have been on and that includes many old salts who have really been around the ships of our Navy. Wlhat loyal Second Division man can ever forget such reassuring calls as: Man all special sea and anchoring details , One hundred hand working party from the Second Division report to PClk Griffith on the fantail , Crew of number One Motor Boat and LCM man your boats , Man the forward highline station , Standby for Guard Mail on the forcastle , Underway fueling details bear a hand in manning your stations , and a host of others too numerous to mention. In spite of these oft-occuring routines, however, LTJG. J. M. DEAL and his O. have a crew in which they can place the utmost confidence and can point to with great pride. During the many different battle exercises it became evident from the first that the Main Battery of the ship consisted of Turrets numbered One, Two and Three which the 'KMighty Duce handles so efficiently. On the AA Exercises it was and is no longer the question of how many runs can the towing plane make, rather, it is the question of whether or not the pilot can carry enough sleeves to replenish the rapidly dis- appearing red socks at the end 'ol his towhne. Several inclivithtals in the division have faire-tl out niches lor themselves in the lasting annals ol sliakt-down, post over- haul training, and cruises in the .Xlc-cl. 'lo mention only 21 lew: Mattera, DMZ, who according to latest inlo owns all of Long VVharl' in Newport: Peterson, CLNIZ, who stands his watches in the 20 Us: Driscoll, Nlf lzhath, and lVarren, GMCS, who will lay any money that il a ttniet Ines it will be either One, Two or Three: Gordon, Clhambeis, lVallace, Clreasey, Sheets, Stone, all CLM's who own Shore Patrol gear that they wear so olten to keep their shipmates on the straight and nar- row, Oullette and Smith, l3MI's, who are always saying, OK boys, here we Uno again, so hop to it : llnghes, ISHS and Sarver D 1 , BMS, the division jack-ol-all-tradesng lilake, Andy, Shank, Hill, the boat coxswains with liednar, ISHS, and Davis, BM2, who very capably oversee the operation ol the division's four boats, and many, many others who comprise the vast, unnamed army ol' wash basin polishers and main deck holy-stoners. As for athletics the second division is right out in front in baseball, softball, basketball, acey-deucy, cribbage, and check- ers. Blake, the number one righthander lor the diamond, Achatz, second to none in any position in baseball or softball, Simunek, Claspelich, Achatl, Tracey, Shank, Kern, Claeys, Scully, Blake, who comprised the basketball team that went unbeaten and hnally lost in the final game ol the divisional play-oils thereby winning runners-up awards. ir First Iloxv: George H.

MCLAUGHLIN, USMC, and labeled the Fourth Division for ship's organization purposes is one of the smallest but also one of the most active divisions on board. In addition to normal guard duties we Marines man three mounts in the port three inch battery and all the 20mm battery, make up one platoon and company headquarters of the ship's landing force, act as instructors for the Navy contingent of the landing force, stand all honor guards and participate in any parades. So much for the work, there were other activities on this cruise that were more appealing, namely recreation and liberty. CHEYNE and VVVEBB fresh from the Marine Detachment's ships champion basketball team, gathered fresh laurels playing with the.ship's team against such opposition as could be fur- nished by other ships in the fleet, while FILION ably repre- sented the detachment in the boxing smoker. In Bizerte MSgt Bubbles ALLEN led our softball team to a victory over lst Platoon, Company, 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines. However, the one activity in which all hands participated was the never to be forgotten liberty in Italy and France. A few will remember this cruise for other reasons. WAL- LACE and NVEBB will find it hard to forget their bald haircutsg MCCOY and SKI, the Portuguese cheeseg KAPPER, the after effects of smoking a pipe, KNOLL and the strange sea-green complexion on a rough day, or CHEYNE, walking in a continuous crouch to keep from bumping his head. Most of us will never forget the bull sessions in the coffee shack, the taste of HANCOCK's coffee, the time FRONCEK forgot to turn on the hopper motors and then wondered why his gun wouldn't fire, or the strange smells in the compartment after someone broke several bottles of French perfume, and then, those sardines that someone brought from the beach. All in all it was a lot of work, but there were also a lot of good times that will be remembered and talked about when- ever we meet a friend that made this cruise with us. First Row: Dominic P.

Navy became so high that many of the public looked upon the press reports as incredible and in many instances-as in the Okinawa Cam- paign-believed these fantastic numbers to be greatly exag- gerated by Government propaganda. Although being prop- aganda, these accounts were found to be at least honest, and when not, understated. Naval gunnery, however, has not always been this eflicient. Prior to the advent of fire control, the problem of hitting the target was solved by drawing up within shouting distance of the target and waiting for the up roll before igniting the charge. After the initial command to hre, given by the chief gunner, the scene became a wild mass of confusion, with vi- sion almost totally obscured by smoke, and the din created by the guns made communications between the man directing the firing and the individual gun installations impossible. Furthermore, there was no positive method of correcting the fire from a gun because there was no means of deciding which shot was fired from which gun. All this was years ago. In the last half century or so, modern science has taken tremendous strides in many fields affording the Navy great opportunities for advancing and increasing its fighting efficiency. Beginning first with only a few small ma- chines which through the use of spring powered timing gad- gets geared to several cams and other mechanisms contrived to solve the geometric problem which the Navy employs to produce a solution to its Ere control riddle, the Bureau of Ordnance elaborated gradually as it became more apparent that fire control was not just another job but a new science. With the ever increasing speeds attained by surface vessels and the introduction of the airplane, the Navy found it nec- essary to create more and more involved systems to combat these new menaces. By 1926 it became evident that no or- ganized force could competently maintain this equipment and a small group of electrician's mates and gunner's mates was assembled and each trained intensely in the alternate job. The men were the predecessors of the present day fire con- trolmen and the pioneers of a new rate which has since be- come the greatest. The fire controlman in the Worcester as in the fleet today is a highly skilled specialist thoroughly trained in the fields of electronics and hydraulics, and familiar with certain phases of other fields which he must understand to some extent in order to carry out his duties. The primary purpose of Naval vessels is to transport guns, and guns would be useless could they not hit the target. It is, therefore possible to state that the fire control is one of the major or the most important divisions on any fighting ship in the fleet today, and that with the latest developments in fire control, the highest standards ofaccuracy maintained by our Division, the USS Worcester has become one of the most important ships in the fleet. , ir First Row: VVillian1 E.

In addition, the division is responsible for all fuel oil, diesel oil, feed and fresh water within the engineering spaces. The four boilers aboard the YVORCESTER are each capable of producing 600 pounds pressure per square inch steam pres- sure. The auxiliary machinery in each hreroom consists of Turbo-Generators, Main Feed Pumps, Forced Draft Blowers, Fuel Oil Service Pumps, Fuel oil heaters, and fire and flushing pumps. Another activity of the B Division is the Oil and lfVater Testing Laboratory. The laboratory is equipped to conduct Chemical analysis of all potable and reserve feed water and oils used aboard ship. The laboratory detail is also responsible for fueling this and other ships and for the transfer of fuel oil within the ship. The transfer and stowage of all potable and reserve feed water is another of their responsibilities. The smoke generator is manned by B Division personnel. This generator is capable of producing a heavy smoke screen thru the combustion of various fuels. The Division is made up of Boilerman, Machinest's Mates and Fireman, all trained, or in training, for the primary job of producing the steam which is used by other divisions of this ship for propulsion, heating, the production of electrical power, water, and preparation of food and many other serv- ices easily taken for granted because they are so readily available.

The division also plays a very important part in making the ship comfortable for the officers and crew. Virtually every piece of machinery and equipment is in someway connected with the electricians. The ventilation sets and air conditioning used in state rooms and living compart- ments, the scuttle butts, the lighting of the ship, intercom- munication throughout the ship, the ship's boats used to put the leave and liberty parties ashore, even the joe pots in the different spaces constitute part of the daily work of the Division. Underway the electrician's mates are responsible for the op- eration of the gyro compasses and their component parts that aid in navigation. They furnish electrical power for the en- gineroom and lireroom pumps, and power for the gunnery department to train, elevate and fire the ship's guns. They make the supply department's job easier by maintaining the numerous machines in the supply oflice, galley, butcher shop, etc., in top running order. The deck lorcfe also receives valua- ble assistance lirom the EASY Division through the electric deck winches, boat winches, the aviation crane and the an- chor windlass. The I. C. Gang insures that the alarms and other protective devices are at all times in proper working order so as to provide protection for the VVORCESTER and her crew. Xflfatches are stood by Division personnel in the steering gear room, on all main generators that are in operation the forward and after l.C. rooms and the electrical work shop so that they can keep a careful check to insure trouble free opera- tion of all electrical equipment. They also maintain and operate the motion picture equipment, both for training and entertainment films, and with the extensive training program now in progress on board, the Division is one of the bus- iest divisions on the ship. I If anyone can find something on board ship that the Elec- tricians haven't already a share in, name it, and we will do our best to become connected with it in some way. 'Qs' PE. A ir First Row: DI.

Navy has found many uses for electronic equipment in the fields of navigation, gunnery and communications. Some of the more recent developments in electronics enable accurate fixing of the ship's position in almost any area in the world and provides information necessary for navigating under adverse conditions of darkness, overcast, and fog. Modern elec- tronics has reduced the once all-important celestial bearing' in its importance and made possible the safe operation of a naval vessel in any weather conditions during daylight or darkness. Electronics provides ranges and bearings on enemy ships and aircraft and provides the most accurate system ol firecontrol available. Many and varied uses of electronic equip- ment enables a naval vessel to communicate with any radio station on land or sea, in all parts of the world. The electronics equipment on board the USS Wforcester is maintained by the personnel ol the Division, which is a division ol' the lingineering llcpartincnl, and it operates under the supervision ol' the lilectrical Olhcer. The normal complement is sixteen electronics technicians and one elec- tronics repair orlicer who is the division ollicer. The personnel assigned to the Division are those trained primarily in the maintenance and operation of radio, radar and underwater sound. Most ol' our technicians have re- ceived approximately one year ol training ashore in naval schools before joining the ship lor duty. ln addition to maintaining the electronic equipment used in the operation of the ship the T Division personnel also maintains equipment used for the enjoyment and entertain- ment of the crew. This equipment includes record-playing machines, radio receivers and Radio speaker systems. 'ww First Row: Paul J. Gass, ETSN: Donald J. !V:xgner, E'l'3: Charles P. Harper, SN. . . .

Falling in this same cate- gorie is the Post Oflice which plays a very important part in the morale of all hands aboard by handling our mails, selling stamps, money orders and offering other special services as special delivery, registry and insured service at very nominal fees. 'When nearing Stateside ports from foreign duty and while cruising in coastal waters, communications aboard the YNOR- CESTER offer an additional service known as a ship-to-shore Radiotelephone. Considering the service from a point at sea Qmaximum about 300 milesj and distance to where call is being placed, this service is not as expensive as it may be judged and rates highly on the level ol' the morale of the ship as a whole. lt is also possible for personnel of the VVORCESTER to transmit messages while at sea to loved ones at home or for business purposes. The transmission of this type of message, as a service, is governed by the urgency of the message and contents. The message is sent over naval circuits and refiled with a commercial company at the place of reception in the U. S. Charges for this service are very reasonable and are col- lected by personnel in the post office. These charges are com- puted on number of words sent categorie, i.e., straight message, night letter, etc. and distance. Wle of the Division are proud to be a part of the Navy's communication system and are pleased to be of service to our shipmates in making life aboard more interesting and en- joyable. i' First Row: Norman R.

But in this case the term 'wheel' refers to the quartermaster. Inasmuch as his duties pertain primarily to navigation of the ship underway, he is often answering questions such as 'How far do we have to goP' and WVhen do we pull into port? VVith the assistance of Chief Cooper and Chief Hurlbutt, the Navigator can readily determine the answers from visual bearings on fixed objects ashore when the ship is in sight of land. But when the ship is out at sea celestial navigation is required, a process of locating the ship's position by means of the sun, moon, and stars. Half an hour before sunrise and half an hour after sunset, and occasionally throughout the day, these three can be found out on the bridge with their sextants 'shooting' these objects. Our other quartermasters have various duties, which include keeping the shipis clocks set to the correct time, correcting the many navigational charts and publications so as to show the latest information concerning buoys and lights, and main- taining a record of the ship's activities in the quartermaster's I0 notebook. Wlieli underway in inland water channels or on the high seas while maneuvering alongside other vessels, where a steady hand at the helm is needed to avert collision or grounding, our more experienced wheels, Riley, Cook, Good- man, or Spring can be found there taking orders from the conning officer, and keeping the ship 'steady as she goes.' Together with the quartermasters, the N Division lays claim to the yeomen of the Operations Department, among whose duties are filing of pertinent correspondence, keeping a record of the ship's training program, and typing an accurate smooth copy of the ship's log based on the quartermaster's notebook. Last to be mentioned but deserving credit nonetheless are the ship's photographers, who assisted in compiling this book and who provide the ship's newspaper with its pictures, the aerographer, who makes a daily weather forecast, and our bu- glers, whose sweetest tune is 'liberty call.' WVith all due respect one might add that the N Division slogan, adapted now to the changing times, has been faithfully followed and, as long as the Chaplain and the quartermasters are in business, shall be in the future: Don't let the Worcester get stuck in the mud! 5 ir First Row: Gary C.

Q' F f ,X 1 ww ' DIVI I0 UPPLY DIVISIONS, four in number, SG, SC, SS, and SYN, com- posed together form all the supply Department personnel of the ship. Each of the four divisions supply distinct services to the ship and the personnel living in the ship. The SG is the group that provides the ship's personnel with the tools to work with, the material to effect the work, the clothing to wear both for work and for going ashore and the pay for the services rendered. The accounting for the tools, material and clothing is all done by the accounting section of this group. The tools and materials are charged to money allocated to the ship from funds appropriated by Congress, the clothing is paid for by each individual to whom it is sold. In general this group services the ship in a manner 11Ot unlike the way local civilian merchants service a community in the average town in the U.S.A. The SC is the group that prepares all food served to the enlisted men in the ship. ln doing so, a tremendous task is accomplished as an attempt must be made to appease the tastes of men who have been accustomed to cooking as it is done in the North, South, East, and Mfest section of the United States. The SS group is composed of the barbers, tailors, laundry- men, and soda fountain operators. All services rendered are comparable with similar establishments in any community in the United States. The SVV group is composed of the stewards and their as- sistants who render services to the commissioned and warrant oflicers in the ship. ,Their duties include the preparation and serving of all food to the officers, cleaning of staterooms and oHicer's messrooms. This division, when all groups are united, forms the Supply Department of an active Fighting unit of the Navy and the responsibility to maintain the department as an eihcient serv- ice organization lies with the Supply Olhcer of the ship.

DIV S10 INCE NAVY medicine is essentially preventive medicine, medical department representatives make it their business to know what is going on everywhere in the YVORCESTER. They check on the preparation and quality of the food and water. They are constantly on the watch for safety hazards from foc'sle to fantail. Everyday things like heat, ventilation, air conditioning are their concern. They are present at flight quarters, in landing forces and in hre fighting parties-alert to prevent accidents or to give prompt treatment. They may even put in a word about liberty ports visited to prevent the crew from contracting epidemic disease. Many of the hos- pitalmen are specialists in their Iieldg there are pharmacists, laboratory workers, X-ray teclmicians, operating room tech- nicians, and medical photographers. They have at their dis- posal as much specialized equipment as is found in any small hospital. Last year approximately 7,920 definitive treatments were given by the YVORCESTER medical department. On the bulkhead outside the record oihce is a placque- the 1948-1949 Commander Cruisers Atlantic award for excel- lence in medical and dental. H DIVISION IS DETER- MINED TO DO IT AGAIN THIS YEAR!

The claim of the Most Popular or Most Important can't be made, either, although-when a fella secumbs to probably the most com- mon American illness, the toothache, and needs a friend - he finds there are good friends aboard to help. Jack D. Voigt, DT3, USN, hails from Madison, XfVisconsin and reported aboard from the Marine Base, Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. He efficiently holds down the routine end of departmental book work, the supply accounts, records, and in addition, gives many prophylactic cleanings or scalings, one of the services the Dental Division gladly performs. James S. Carpenter, DN, USN, the newest addition to our happy tsome people may question thisy home, is from Eugene, Oregon, and just made his technician's rating at the National Naval Medical Center, Bethesda, Maryland, prior to report- ing' aboard a month ht-lore this cruise. Carpenter assists Dr, Hamilton, the Dental Ollicer, in providing dental care to the ship's M00 crew members. Lieutenant KIDVZIVCI' R. lHlainilton, DC, USN, is the 5fgfgf,m1 Dental Ollicer ordered to the l.l.S.S. XVORCliS'IlIiR since its commissioning' on 26 .june 1918, and is beginning his third tour of sea duty. Another mid-westerner, Dr. Hamilton comes from Highland Park, lllinois. He joined this Vagabond ship when he was detached from the Naval Air Station at Alameda, California. Toothaches, operative dentistry, fof silver and silicatej ex- tractions, and situations requiring' surgery are competently cared for in the ship's air conditioned Dental Ofiiceg one that is -as fully equipped for its type of work as could be found anywhere ashore. Good dental health and hygiene are rapidly growing in importance to the men of the Navy, and the WOR- CESTER Dental Department prides itself on participating in the reaching of this goal. ,sf 9' . f ii' 4. , ' 'iw ' ,' 1 f . f ,' Wwfha ff , ' f f ,gf 1, J I ,V ' f ,WW ' ' f y , 1-223 ' 6 ' f 1 .. :L 0174? : . , 17, .531 'Ng 'Ir Jziek D.

IT HE BIISSION of the Target Pilotless Aircraft Unit is to pre- sent airborne targets to gun crews in their training in anti- aircraft defense. This assignment consists of furnishing aerial target services for advance training and is accomplished by the use of the T.D.D. QTarget Drone Dennyi radio-controlled target airplanes. By this means, effective training can be given to crews of automatic anti-aircraft weapons. This mission is a very important one and one which every member of the Target Pilotless Aircraft Unit does fully ap- preciate. Effective anti-aircraft protection can be achieved only through constant practice. The T.D.D. is not only used as an aid to advanced training, but also for keeping trained gun crews at a continuously high level of marksmanship. To accomplish this mission the Target Pilotless Aircraft Unit, as a team, has the responsibility of providing the maxi- mum amount of services requested in the most efficient man- ner. The unit must be continually ready to put into the air, targets which are functioning perfectly, and must further operate these targets for the greatest benefit to the gunners shooting at them. The TPXA Unit must be able to guarantee its target services to the OCE Qofhcer-in-charge of Exercisej to the extent of the targets requested and at the times de- sired. This readiness requires teamwork, and for that reason the TPXA Units have been organized as teams, to function as teams. It follows, then, that any good team has to be made up of personnel who have definite responsibilities, who know their jobs, and who can coordinate their efforts with the other members of the team. It is the duty of each man to do his job, and, out of the efforts of each man, is blended a smoothly operating and eflicient Target Pilotless Aircraft Unit. The Unit consists of a target operator and six maintenance men broken down as follows: the officer-in-charge is the target operator, an Aviation Chief Machinist Mate as crew chief, a Aviation Machinist Mate and striker as engine mechanics, a Aviation Structural Mechanic as Metalsmith and catapult man, a Aviation Radio Technician as radio repairman and a Airman as a fabric man and metalsmith helper. The unit is assigned to the Gunnery Dept. and operates as a ship's di- vision. , f. as-4 , . aj' . 5' 'ffg ...- f Aff 7 ' .,QIl,lf'U:' A 95 f , . . . First Row: James G. VVats0n, A'l'3g Roy F.

As one of the three Com- manders-in-Chief under the Chief of Naval Operations, his boundaries of jurisdiction extend roughly from a point just east of the Azores to a point beyond India, and from the North Pole to the Equator. The Sixth Fleet has no base in the Mediterranean Sea, it must therefore remain continually on the move, engaging in exercises at sea or calling at any of scores of foreign ports in the area. was Miz- .. 45. ..-lr.

After being briefed, the new arrivals swing into a sche- dule of operations which trains the officers and men in independent movements and familiarizes them not only with the waters in which they cruise but also with the people, customs and traditions of the various countries they visit. imum number of officers 2.5.1 ..,, 13.13-,.121il 'ij,gQ1QffgQQ,12' igrjgff,3g.3g2gQgfE,5g5,Qg.,Q,g3VfQ., to and men to become ac- t' 21-e132.1eiiiiiziiiiiilf 'QQ .,.. if fanffan area- In the Navy : today are tens of thousands W, if who have made the cruise. ,pzq Same Of the OICHCCYS and .,.,,.,,1 Ziifiaiaff23ei:aa.2ez mea are old hands and ' know this area well g others ili. are new, young and wide- if -1--- H Iyly, eyed, perhaps making their i V': i :':iii'i'i 'i Z '::i l ' first cruise in foreign waters. But for all, duty with the Sixth Fleet is considered tops, it is exciting and fasci- nating. The high morale of the Fleet might be attributed to the fact that at sea and in port the men are always busy. Intensive maintenance is a standing order and under- standably a necessary one. If emergency repairs are needed during the four- month tour, adequate dry- dock facilities are available in the 'area on a rental basis. At sea, the routine is maintenance and train- ing, in port, maintenance, training and fun for the crew ashore. Admiral Bal- lentine believes in giving his men the maximum op- portunity to get acquainted with the Mediterranean lands and their peoples. Shore leave is as liberal as the situation warrants. Prior to entering a new port, information is disseminated calling attention to the port's place in world history and describing its historic landmarks. Upon arrival, educa- tional tours are arranged. If the men have relatives in the area leaves are arranged for them so that they can pass their time in port with their kin. Some marry and bring their wives back to the United States. There are no idle hands in this Fleet. Work and play periods alike are crammed full. The training is so in- tensive that it is probable that the men do and learn more in a shorter period of time than they would in actual combat. They are drilled in methods of repelling air and submarine attacks and air targets, including the elusive radio-controlled drones. They learn how to re- cover men overboard and how to extinguish fires, other training helps them to sharpen communications and to master effective ship maneuvers. All of the training brings into play the most up-to-date strategy and tactics as a means of maintaining the Sixth Fleet at the peak of readiness. For the men who scramble ashore after hectic days at sea this is the best duty in the world. Most of them, insatiable collectors, keep a constant flow of photographs and souvenirs returning in the mails to the folks back home. lt is estimated that the men of the Fleet spend two million dollars annually in the foreign ports they visit. The Sixth Fleet sailor who joined the Navy to see the world is seeing it. Each is a roving ambassador in a --.,. .. in the llieditermn ean Navy uniform creating good will and a better under- standing with the people with whom he comes in con- tact. During a regular four-month tour of duty with the Sixth Fleet, sailors on shore leave may visit Athens, Greece Q Say, we studied about the Acropolis in our history class jg Venice f It's not like the moviesnjg Naples, Genoa, and Rome C61 shook the Pope's hand! jg Gibralter C'So that's the big rock jg Casablanca Q I didn't see Humphrey Bogartnjg Rhodes Q Dear Mom - It's wonderfulujg and a score of other places that at- tract tourists the world over. C C . Like his predecessor Admi- gi' ral Forrest P. Sherman, now n 'V-5 g Chief of Naval Operations, s 1+ Fleet Commander Ballentine N- 4 is a student of the Mediter- 1 9 I ranean. Having served in the A' T Med on two cruises as an fg.EQ5Si,-..- aircraft carrier division com- QS : mander, he unhesitatingly de- 11' 5. scribes his duty as the best f in the Navy. His guest book F255 I' 552, reads like an international I i f Who's Whog it is inscribed with names of kings and queens, presidents, governors, mayors, cardinals and bishops, dukes and duchesses. He collects and reads avidly everything published about the Mediterranean, supplementing his reading knowledge during calls with tours and conversations with officials. Each visit is a good will mission. Newspapers of the countries of the Mediterranean refer to Admiral Ballen- tine's ships as the friendly fleet. Rarely do all the ships of the Sixth Fleet call at the same port at the same time. After Fleet exercises, or perhaps a mock amphibious landing on some foreign shore with the approval of the government concerned, units and groups are detached to visit various ports. Later all meet at sea to continue their training. For the significant diplo- matic chore of extending the Fleet's good will to local offi- l cials, Admiral Ballentine is assisted by two rear admirals, the commanders of the cruiser and carrier divisions included with the Fleet. Their sched- ule in port is a busy one. The entire first day in port may be spent in calling on local officials, with the evening devoted to an official reception. The second day sees the local authorities returning the Admiral's call on shipboard. Whenever possible, a recep- tion is held on board the flagship to repay local courtesies. Greeting the press, attending local church services and public celebrations and reviewing parades make the schedule in port a crowded one. Only Admiral Ballentine's immediate staff of twenty officers and about one hundred and fifty men remain in the Mediterranean area for a period longer than four months. Staff personnel normally stay from eighteen to twenty months supervising the training of each succes- sive group. In most cases, the married staff members have their wives and families in Europe with them, some residing at Villefranche or Cap Ferrat on the French Riviera, others in Naples and Rome, with some fol- lowing the Fleet. Over holiday periods, the members fri, .a a g.gt..rl jj f if ,. 0 of the staff may go on leave or their wives and families may join them at the port where they happen to be tem- porarily based. The bulk of the Fleet's fuel oil is obtained from tankers. With the exception of some fresh fruits, vegetables and other perishables, all supplies are brought out in ships from the United States about every six weeks. Perishables are pur- chased locally by the individ- 4 - .rya-ff -- f ,, fi:2!

Bids are requested for the ma terial needed and the order is given to the lowest bidder capable of meeting specifications. Large-scale replenishments of food, fuel oil, aviation gasoline and other supplies, an all hands job, are cus ' ww, tomarily made in replenishment anchorages, where staff members make a minimum of official calls. Necessary replenishments also are effected while the ships are at sea, perfecting the techniques developed during World W'ar II for keeping the Fleet uninterruptedly in action. The communication system in the Sixth Fleet, as in all large and complex organizations, is the coordinating lifeline. Few activities of the Navy compare with the Sixth Fleet command in volume of communications traffic handled. Scores of radio and visual messages are initiated and received on board the Fleet flagship daily, keeping far-flung operations at all times under control. Mail from the United States is delivered by Military Air Transport Service planes on an average of five days after it is posted, if the ships are in port. Mail for the Fleet is first deposited at Port Lyauty, French Morocco, where it is sorted and bagged for individual ships. Then it is flown to the ports where the ships are anchored or scheduled to call. When the ships arrive in port, mail is awaiting them. As in all military organizations, this is an important factor in keeping high the spirits of men away from their loved ones. Duty with this potent Med- iterranean force is prized. A nineteen-year-old flagship ra- dioman comments: I've been out here three months now. Time goes fast. Maybe it's because we're always doing something. I joined the Navy to see the world, and believe me, I'm seeing it. A salt in the staff communications gang chimes in: I shipped over just to get this duty and I consider sea duty in the Med as the best there is. I've been out here for over two years and after I get back to the States to see my folks, I'm putting in for this duty again. This is the United States Sixth Fleet, described by Admiral Sherman as a powerful factor in maintaining the policies and prestige of the United States in the Mediterranean.

This thriving' port city served as a launching point lfor several interesting tours by members of the Sixth Fleet. There was a tOU1' to the little city ol Pisa, with its ancient structures, the most famous olf which is the leaning tower. There was Florence, the cultural center of yesterdays giant painters: Michaelangelo, Da Vinci, Giotto and Raphaelg and yesterday's leaders of thought and literature: Dante and Machiavelli.

In ancient times, the Acropolis, a rocky elevation 300 ft. above the level of the city, housed a walled city. This fortress, ten acres in area, provided a fortress in time of danger. In the center of the Acropolis stands the pride of ancient Athens, The Parthenon. The old city of Athens surrounded the Acropolis, measuring about one mile out all the way around. Today, in a great crescent around the ancient city, spreads the new Athens with its beautiful buildings and wide boulevards. Piraeus, the port of Athens, is situated five miles south- west of Athens.

Today this thriving city is noted lfor exports ol silk, olive oil, wool, gums and fruits. Its origin was a Sidomoni seaport, later the prop- erty of the Greeks and then the Romans. Destroyed in 551 by an earthquake, it was rebuilt and taken over by the Arabs. After many more changes in ownership, Beirut became the capital city of Lebanon, when the latter was released by the French to become an inde- pendent sovereign state in 1941.
