The ARCTURUS departed Norfolk on 25 October for the Med. In-chopping on 6 November, ARCTURUS transferred transient personnel to USS TRUCKEE using the ever popular boatswain ' s chair. The next day Phase I consolidation with USS CONCORD (AFS-5) was completed and ARCTURUS continued on what was to be an eventful cruise. On 9 November we anchored for engineering repairs in the midst of three Russian ships - a cruiser and two destroyers on ma- neuvers off Malta. After a combination refueling, replenishment, and vertrep operation with the SEATTLE (AOE-3) over 10 and 11 November the ARCTURUS anchored with Amphibious Landing Force in Navplion, Greece. Stores were then transferred by boat and vertrep. On 16 November, off the coast of Italy, ARCTURUS unrepped with the KENNEDY (CVA-67) and refueled from the PAWCATUCK (AO-108). Enroute to Naples on 17 November, the ARCTURUS conducted RAS with the HAMMERBURG (DE-lOiS). On 19 November the stay in Naples was suddenly extended by an auto accident which put both Captain Irwin and Executive Officer Millard in the hospital. The ARCTURUS remained anchored outside Naples Harbor awaiting the arrival of Captain J. P. Shelton from CONUS. Rough weather then stranded a liberty party ashore. It was not until after the arrival on 21 November, of Captain Shelton, that ARCTURUS re-entered Naples Harbor for fresh water and her liberty party. From 23 to 25 November the ARCTURUS was again in a liberty port, this time Barcelona. Out-chop took place on the way to Rota, Spain where the ARCTURUS was met by its Executive Officer. After picking up retrograde the ARCTURUS left Rota about 1800 on 27 November, the day she arrived. Until 3 December, when she was detached for Newport, Rhode Island, the VAN VOORHIS (DE-1028) provided company on the return trip through the Atlantic. The ship was refueled by ARCTURUS on four separate occasions during the crossing. Twenty-five foot seas and sixty knot winds delayed the end of this eventful cruise for two days, until 10 December. After off- loading in Norfolk the ARCTURUS wAs nested for the new year and a tender availability with the VULCAN (AR-5).
