Her job was hunting submarines and she was sunk in the line of duty. Following is an eyewitness account from uThe Story of Two Shipsf' G4At 2013 without warning of any kind a torpedo struck the USS BLOCK ISLAND QCVE-215 approximately at frame 12, near the bow, probably on the port side. Four seconds later another torpedo struck farther aft, travelling through several frames of the ship and exploding in an oil tank through the shaft alley and up through five inch magazinesf, In this disaster six men were lost, only a few injured. The crew left the ship in an orderly manner and kept close together on rafts. To perpetuate the BLOCK ISLAND tradition of valor and courage, a 23,000 ton carrier of the Commencement Bay class was duly commissioned the CVE-106. With an all Marine air group on board, the resurrected BLOCK ISLAND set sail for the Pacific and the war against Japan. For 43 days of the siege of Okinawa the FBI added rockets, bombs, and fire power to the crushing force of America at war. When Okinawa was secured the FBI was called upon to use her Marine support group and night fighters to provide air cover in the Borneo-Celebres operation against Balikpapan. To crown her wartime achievement record, the BLOCK ISLAND performed 140 sorties using 21,700 pounds of bombs, 82 five-inch rockets, and 10,800 pounds of machine gun ammunition. NOT A MAN OR PLANE WAS LOST. After the Japanese surrender, the BLOCK ISLAND ferried American prisoners of war back to the United States. The Fighting BLOCK moved to the East Coast and finally settled at Annapolis, Maryland. As a training ship for midshipmen it provided classrooms for students and quarters for instructors. Reactivated after the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, the ship was towed from the Severn River mud flats to the Philadelphia Navy Yard. Months of hard labor and many taxpayers, dollars helped modernize and ready the ship for sea in lighting condition. Seasoned Navy veterans were astonished upon reporting to a ship shining completely with red lead. Naval reservists, called back to active duty, were equally amazed at their new home. A run on the Delaware River in November, 1951, tested out the main engines. Ready for sea, the ship commenced shakedown training near Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, under the command of Captain Arthur S. Hill, USN. Successful participation i11 TRAEX I tested Marine and heli- copter maneuvers on and around Vieques Island. Captain James H. Flatley assumed command 31 July, 1952, and the old BLOCK took on a new chipper appearance. Visits to Boston and New York, operations from Quonset Point and Norfolk, and a yard period in New York highlighted the latter half of 1952. On 5 January, 1953, with many new faces and new equipment the BLOCK ISLAND set sail for the new year, a year that was to see her colors flying proudly in both the Caribbean and Mediterranean. 4? .-V ri . ,g'4,,,-I-sg-. -1 ' drag-pf.. .I .

Ruins of a Spanish Home THE feeling of new horizons was upon us within three days of our departure from Norfolk as the entire ships personnel stowed the Moldw winter things in mothballs and donned freshly starched whites. With tem- peratures in the high seventies and eighties, we entered the historic port of Ciudad Tru- jillo, Dominican Republic. All were con- stantly amazed at the rapid flow of Spanish spoken by the natives and of the very in- teresting customs observed by these descend- ants of foreign lands. Of special interest was the striking architectural development of the buildings and homes throughout the cityg the cathedral housing Columbus' Shrine and the president's offices being outstanding ex- amples. Residential houses and hotels were constructed of mahogany, stucco and ebony wood blending to form masterpieces of de- velopment. The remains of the Columbus castle held tour members in awe as they gazed and heard stories of 16th century grandeur unfold be- fore their very eyes. Founded in 1496 by Bartholemew Co- lumbus, the city is the oldest continuously inhabited European settlement of the West- ern Hemisphere. It was long a center of Span- ish activities in the new world and served as a base for the expeditions of Cortes, Balboa and many others. In 1930 Santo Domingo, as the city was formerly known, was completely devastated by a hurricane. During the next few years rebuilding took place and with it, a new name came forth, Ciudad Trujillo, named for Rafael Trujillo Molina. The city is the political, social, educational and industrial center of the island. Among the main industries, as we found, alcohol distilling and brewing rate high on the list. Although still retaining the char1n of the old world, Ciudad Trujillo is made up of broad avenues and modern buildings. lt is a clean, attractive site with a pleasant tropical climate. A trip down the newly completed, palm-lined Avenida Washington to the beautiful new Hotel ,luaragua was a must. Complete with outdoor swimming pool, patio and cocktail lounge this essence of graciousness was a sight and thrill well worth seeing and enjoying. All of this combined to depict a modern, well run community of which President Trujillo can be justly proud. - 'sf ' 1- ' wr' A , , F , H , , . ff 4 , -y-4, f.

Although lacking in many of the facilities of our previous port nevertheless the charm of a small French village was apparent immediately from the intertwined streets, narrow houses and pleasant shops. A Of singular attraction was the coastal tour around the shore line to the small town of St. Pierre which was destroyed by a volcanic eruption in 1902. The inland road back by auto was marked by hundreds of natives Walking to and from their hillside homes. And, of course, the taxi drivers were wilder and crazier than those found in Flatbush fno offense, Brooklynitesj. The statue of Empress Josephine in Savanna park also proved a valuable sightseer's item. Suffice to say, enough French perfume was purchased to keep all wives and sweethearts happy for many months to come and this, plus the magnificent champagne provided one and all with the souvenirs necessary for remembrance of this picturesque port. And do you remem- ber the Bumboat women selling everything from baskets to dolls? Never saw sailors before in dress canvas and straw bonnets. ITT!

Looking from the Bay we could see the conspicuous and beautiful Long Mountain encircling Kingston providing a background that took our breath away. Then, from the elevated superstructure of this mountain, looking backwards toward the Bay and the ship we saw another scenic thrill well worth remembering. Wild orange, man- go and banana trees were seen growing wild in fields, pastures and golf courses enroute to north John Bull Jamaica's Charm shore points. Also visited on this side of the island was the luxurious Tower Isle Hotel, re- splendent with wild flowers and trees of all varieties. The principal beverages of the island are rum and coffee, each distinctive in its own field, and one taste of either is enough to convince even the toughest of men that ,lamaicans are not sissies. That before dinner rum cocktail set us on our ear, however, the after dinner cup of Blue Mountain coffee put the curl back in our hair. And then stepping onto the street in front of the Myrtle Bank, a preponderance of taxi- cabs were seen, all wanting to take the boys for a little ride. Of noteworthy interest and pleasure was the shipis dance held at the Myrtle Bank Hotel. Accompaniment was by the ship's combo, the hillbillies and the Myrtle Bank's own band. So through our re-newed acquaintances, new friends and present companions we all enjoyed our brief, but eventful sojourn here. gm: rLn:.:.'.u:Lu.-1, -.' 1- i 5 - f fif' -'u Myrtle Bank Pool Q ,, 1-T'.t P.1'.'I5. 5iiin:::v izfixfuimf Qaida:-itil .,.. .,..-.Q I Patio Prowlers E E Q Q, f 55535122- ,.,..,v.-n ,--nv--v 'ii ,.m.z....,. ,-g5,,,fi,.s.m.1,n1g A-Q- -1---J --1:91291-slew' 4- , , -' u D GTMO WL- 1 AROUND THE horseshoe of the island and across the bay we anchored in the harbor of Guaffli- tanamo Bay, Cuba, long a naval supply and replenishing base where we found baseball games, golf, swimming, horseback riding and division parties galore. Our stop here brought 11s a long awaited deluge of letters and packages from home and more than one 1naT1 was seen floating through the ship on cloud nine, a result of that uperfumed envelope from heavenf, The huge naval exchange offered everyone the opportunity of buying many luxury items at considerable savings. And, of course, the two for a quarter bottles of Hotuey, a Cuban-inspired product afforded, and encouraged, many .i.,.,.. a headache and aching muscles. f During our stay here the FBI basketball team had a chance to further their exploits on the hardwood floors in preparation for the ComAirLant tournament in which, eventually, they placed third. The season's record was an impressive 28 won and 4 lost with games being played as far north as Boston and as far south as the Caribbean area. Addi- tional information as to the handicaps sometimes encoun- tered can be seen from the fact , that all types of courts were em- Inspection on Flight Deck ployed, everything from the in- door floor to outdoor asphalt and gravel courts, this, therefore, adding all the more to the record of the team. Our ship's combo played for an affair in the Chief's Club and their harmonious tones and tunes were met with a huge ova- tion. They also used the facilities of the Base radio station, this be- ing the first time any shipboard organization had done this in three years. Rocks . . . GTMO Y Volleyball 4.

From the entrance to the r g 5 harbor we could see proud, statuesque Morro Castle, jutting forth in all her former glory, a remembrance of days gone by when she served the people of this community so well in warding off impending invaders. Self-conducted tours through the streets of old San Juan gave light to the culture of old Spain, while in visiting the newer parts of the city we found buildings and shops reminiscent of home, and of course no discussion of a trip here would be complete without mention of the beautiful Caribe Hilton Hotel. Facing the water this gorgeous hunk of cement, steel, paint, swimming pool and lovely women induced all to look it over. While there, free dancing lessons were given by Arthur Murray instructors on the hotel patio. This was also the spot for exotic evenings complete with silvery moon, mood music and lush tropical breezes. A further description of this balmy paradise is unnecessary, just ask the buddy next to you for his experiences. We received an ofhcial visit from Admiral Doyle, Commandant of the 10th Naval District and also were able to take advantage of the wonderful facilities of NCB, San Juan where the beautiful EM and CPO club attracted quite a throng. At night there was always ,lack's for chow and Marin's, where we tried to sample the 70, I said 70, count 'em, types of rum drinks. While in San Juan we became acting host to 8 guests of the SECNAV and they joined us for the trip back home. This was a new role for us but all hands did their utmost to insure our visitors not only an enjoyable time but a chance to see us under simulated battle conditions. K In return letters to SECNAV and the ship, all 8 guests joined enthusiastically in praising the efforts of all hands dur- ing their trip aboard.

Finally, on that Friday morning in Febru- ary we dropped the hook in the Waters of Chesapeake Bay and scores of sailors hurried for the beach to tell, retell and remember the stories of their 1953 Carib- bean Cruise. It had been a period of inten- sive training for all of us and we had un- dergone everything from round the clock flying to before dawn fueling, all without mishap. We received outstanding and well done's for most of our efforts and we re- membered these Words of praise as well as the following memories: N'DlV Q -tl - -- He SAYS hewmuis 'two Pesos, 1-hree P9045 67 CQGRYEHSS, and-Hxe BLOCK 'ISLAND.'T'CLLhyyq we NNT sei- -the 1-wo DES05 I 1 CANT HELP UT wr 'fm Cummins, Au.vRxN6-, AND STSLL H me z vase!

From the moment we step- ped on Fleet Landing until the Mlong blast on the buglew signifying departure, we knew we had met people as gracious as any there are throughout the world. The Regal rug was out for the men of the BLOCK ISLAND and we treaded lightly, yet with full intensity on the stairway to a good time. We were entertained in every con- ceivable manner possible, dancing at Fifstthe Mayo' Comes Aboard the parish hall where, and this was a pleasant surprise, there were more hostesses than sailors, golf, wonderfully interesting courses, fishing, superb trout, sightseeing tours of the area, cricket and drinking-ah, that soothing Irish beer and whiskey. We saw vivid coloring everywhere, from the apple red cheeks of the children to the patch- work green farms dotting the countryside, everything was a maze of wild, alive color. We took the scenic train and bus rides into Belfast along the beautiful coastal route in search of tweed coats and Irish linens, and the Nsharpw outfits and lovely dining room ensembles that returned were well worth the trip. The sightseeing tour from Bangor to Newcastle and back was notable for the extreme beauty and ultimate simplicity of the countryside. One important stop was at the grave of St. Patrick, next to the beautiful Cathedral of Down. Other interesting areas in- cluded Downpatrick, Donaghadee and Newcastle where the mountains of Mourne sweep down to the sea. We made many, many friends in these two places, so much so, that in ensuing days and weeks, correspondence has flown back and forth over the Atlantic at speeds approximating those of the sound barriers. The lovely Colleens and the fighting y Irish made an unbeatable com- A bination. Fleet Landing , . 4 I f 'i 1 f 3, R' xl.

We were highly honored by a visit from Admiral Sir Maurice J. Mansergh, Commander in Chief Plymouth, who inspected our honor guard and band, and praised our efliciency. Our liberty started from the gate of Her Majesty's Dockyard where, after hoarding one of England's famous double tiered busses, we rode into town. We were impressed, yet shocked at some of the destruction that still remained, results of bombing raids during the last war. How- ever, the spirit and fierce pride of the Plymouth citizens had more than offset these war re- minders by installing a Well integrated plan for reconstruction. New attractive buildings now stand where, not too long ago, there were gaps. The beautiful city center is the prime example of the foresight employed by the city fathers. We walked to the Hoe, famous promenade of the city and wondered how much history this famous piece of land contained . . . The many memorials we saw: Sir Francis Drake, The Armada and Smeatonls Tower, gave some indi- cation ofthe glamorous history of Plymouth, and England. Further down in the Barbican, we saw the Mayflower steps and as we gazed, somewhat in awe, remembered that here, 333 years ago, the Pilgrims departed on the long voyage to America. Wfe strolled back into town again where, depending on the amount of thirst, we dropped into either a tea shoppe for the 5 o'clock Nspot-o-tea, or a local pub where the Guinness flowed like water. .4l '-JHTBYLI V1 ' '5 .K , '5' -12.21 .5 Q.

The scenery of the Devon countryside was breath taking to behold especially the red cliffs rimming the valley. Sweeping down into the broad, smooth beaches the color contrast between this and the clear blue water was beautiful Soon after our arrival in Paddington station we were lost in the interiors of the black cabs and orders of 64Piccadilly, MBuckingham,', NWestminster Abbeyw could be heard. We drove rapidly in order to see everything and soon were thrown in the midst of London traffic and ex- citement. Coronation decorations were on display everywhere and a lump came into our throats as we realized that very shortly, in this very city, a Queen would be crowned. We rode and walked past Buckingham Palace with its monument to Queen Victoria and saw the relieving of the guard ceremony. Further on we saw Big Ben, a clock that has been sym- bolic of the world's greatest city for centuries. This sight was enhanced even more by the spires of Parliament in the background and with only a twist of the neck we could see Westminster Abbey. After a short walk along Whitehall, we made a left turn on Downing Street and the number 10 on a simple oaken door signified the superb simplicity of the Prime Minister's home. In the evening, after a wonderful day of sightseeing, we wandered into Piccadilly Circus where the lights and action overwhelmed us. Familiar signs of Schweppes, Wrigley's, Guinness and many others blazed forth and although Relieving of the Guard we were reminded of our own neon lights of New York it still was obvious that there is only one Piccadilly.

The entire coastline, appropri- ately named La Cote d'Azur, held for all of us a certain fascination, this fascination a result of life long stories and pictures We have read and seen con- cerning this area. We left Golfe Juan on buses and trains for all parts of the coast, Cannes, because of its closeness, drawing a good deal of play during the first few days. The tours of the Riviera, including 3 Nice, Antibes, Juan les Pins, the Princi- pate of Monaco with the fabulous Monte Carlo, the tiny yet wonderfully interesting village of Eze and the miles long beaches all over gave us some idea of the luxury and splendor of this vacation paradise. We saw the controversial Bikini bathing suits and the performance of the wearer in donning this upaper and string garb still is topic for unusual conversations. The trip to Grasse brought us in close contact with the whys and wherefores of perfume manufacturing and the purchases from here added extensively to the number of packages we had to carry home. The scenic ride through the Maritime Alps with our Mgali' guide showed us the extreme beauty of this famous mountain range. We found the French foods and wines the best anywhere and the thoughts of these delicious taste treats still linger in our memories. Cannes Boat Harbor s i f 1 ' Even from the ship we could see the - glamor of the area, do you remember fin, S the lush setting of Eton Rock and its .s iff -1 f fabulous pool? Or how about the small shack called home by Aly Khan fand Rita?j And please, donit- forget the amazing fleet landing at Golfe Juan. Be assured that whenever France is men- tioned among Navy men, the good times of this small section will be cussed, dis- cussed and laughed over.

VESUVIUS looming ominously in the background, we entered the harbor of Naples, Italy, .last liberty port on our European Cruise. Anticipation was high as we prepared for trips to Rome, Pompeii and Sorrento. In Naples proper we found swarms of children literally flooding us with requests for Gcsigerettesv while their older brothers sold us everything from Cameos to Ham Sandwiches. We also found the minestrone, spaghetti and Nvinow combina- tion a delectable treat and this, plus the soothing rhythms from the musically inclined Neapoli- tans, added a great deal of pleasure to our adventures in eating and drinking. We saw the many monuments and mementos of Naples history, the Castel Nuovo erected in 1279 A.D., one ex- ample of the coordination of the Italian architectural skills. The language differences We en- countered at first were soon overcome by the successful use of such words as 66Cuanto, wfragow and HGrazie,,' and the good neighbor relations We estab- lished with the people will long be re- membered by them as Well as by all of us.

We walked the narrow streets and alleyways and saw a city probably as modern in its day, as any we know now. The ancient grain houses, churches and homes offered to us a complete and per- manent record of life ages ago and the mu- seums showed again of the quick, complete preservation the molten ash and lava caused during its turbulent action. Remarkable paintings still retained their original color- ing and these, plus the fabulous statues now standing again, showed us the life and times of the Pompeiians. The forgotten city was re- discovered in 1748 and in 1763 systematic excavations were begun. We found in walk- ing the lava paved streets the city had been built in an irregular oval shape, enclosed by walls that had only eight gate entrances. Pompeii was partially destroyed in A.D. 63 by an earthquake, but the final touches were added to the destruction in A.D. 79 when the first of many eruptions by Vesuvius completely blotted out human life and vegetation. 5 fm, , K .4 1- -1 - f .--f, gp,-V., A l u., af-fs.

By specially chartered busses we left fleet landing bound for the city of magnificence. The history and grandeur of Rome was seen practically at every street corner in huge, beautiful statues, beautifully preserved fountains and lawns and the statuesque and magnifi- cent churches. R Ancient days were recalled at seeing the Coliseum, the Pantheon, the Roman Forum and - 9 . , . . Constantlne s Arch and recent history was unfolded with the approach to the Victor Em- manuel Monument, a stately, modernistic all-white edifice reaching into the clouds. We saw the Basilicas of St. Paul, St. Mary Major, and St. John Lateran, and all were glorious sights to be- hold. However, the one single area that com- pletely captured us was Vatican City and St. i Peter's. By special ar- rangements we were granted an audience with His Holiness Pope Pius XII and his words of wisdom and prayers for us will long remain in our memories. We hope also that the tra- dition-laden 66Hip-hip hoorayw offered there will be retained in Vati- can files. The I6 men who were confirmed here will remember this occasion as one of the high points of their life and the thoughts that these men, as well as the many others of us who visited here, carried away will perpetuate the glory and significance not only of St. Peter's and the Vatican, but of Rome and Italy as well.
