One name which has been prominent in naval history since 1776 is that of the capital city of Massachusetts — BOSTON. The U.S.S. BOSTON ' S honored story began in the year of the Decla- ration of Independence, 1776. In that year, the first BOSTON, an armed gondola, was launched at Whitehall, New York. She served during the lighting on Lake Champlain with the Uovulutionary Navy. The year 1776 also saw the second BOSTON enter service in the U. S. Navy. A 24-gun frigate, she served as a privateer, challenging the world ' s greatest naval power. Great Britain, on the high seas. She cruised in European waters during the Revolu- tion, taking four prizes, including the British frigates IIMS FOX and IIMS POLE. The third BOSTON lived up to the fine reputations set by her predeces- sors during the undeclared war with France and also against the Royal Navy. Built from finances raised by the citizens of Boston in 1799, she also took part in the Tripoli tan Wars. A 32-gun frigate, she was the first copper-bottomed ship built in America, mainly due to the efforts of Paul Revere in persuading the Navy to build such a ship. On October 12th, 1800, she encountered the French corvette LE BERCEAU, and defeated her in a long, hard engagement. The third BOSTON served her country until 1802. In 1825 the fourth BOSTON entered the Navy. Built in the Boston Navy Yard, she served as an important unit of the Mediterranean, Pacific, East Indian and Brazilian squadrons as a sloop of war for 21 years. The fifth BOSTON, a protected or steel cruiser, was commissioned in 1887. She served with the Atlantic Fleet until 1892, when she entered the Asiatic Squadron in the Phillip- pines. On May 1st, 1898, she fought with Admiral Dewey ' s forces during the Battle of Manila Bay. The victory won there ensured the United States control of the Philippines during the Spanish-American War. From 1899 to 1946 she continued to uphold the BOSTON tradition by serving first as a training ship, and later as a receiving ship. ' miiii: i BOSTON ' S story took on new luster in 1943 when CA-69, a heavy cruiser of the Baltimore class, was commis- sioned at Quincy, Mass., on 30 June The sixth ship to bear the name of BOSTON, she entered the Navy dur- ing the global war, carrying a proud heritage into the fighting in the Pacific. Serving with the famed Fast Carrier Forces, Pacific, CA-69 pro- vided anti-aircraft cover for the air- craft carriers of the Third and Fifth Fleets. Her eight and five inch guns also pounded enemy-held beaches dur- ing many of the Pacific campaigns of 1944-1945. The sixth BOSTON was present during the ofi ' ensive action at the Marshalls and the Marianas, during the invasion of Iwo Jima, during the Okinawa and Philippine campaigns and at the Tokyo Bay surrender on September 2nd, 1945. She returned to the United States on February 10th, 1946, proudly displaying ten battle ribbons for action in the far- flung Pacific Theater. Decommissioned in 1946, BOSTON was taken out of the mothball fleet at Bremerton, Washington in Febru- ary, 1952 and towed via the Panama Canal to Camden, New Jersey for conversion to a guided missile cruiser — the world ' s first. The Terrier missile battery was added during BOSTON ' S conversion, replacing her number 3 gun turret, and 3-inch guns replaced her World War II 40mm ahti-aircraft battery. After these and other moderaizations, she was recommissioned as CAG-1 on November 1st, 1955. Since her recommissioning USS BOSTON has served with the U. S. Second and Sixth Fleets in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Al- though no longer in her grim camou- flage paint of World War II days, she still carries on the proud heritage and traditions of her five predecessors. Playing multiple roles in the mod- ern Navy, BOSTON is able to act as a powerful anti-aircraft ship, to pro- vide gunfire support for amphibious landings, and to perform as a fleet or force flagship. As an anti-aircraft defense ship, BOSTON helps to protect Naval Task Forces, such as attack aircraft carrier striking forces, amphibious ships loaded with Marines on their way to distant shores. Naval logistic and supply ships on which we depend so much for our mobility, and the vital convoys so familiar during World War II. This mission incorporates three phases of air defense. For the first BOSTON is fitted with long range radar and communications equipment. This enables her to con- trol and direct defending Navy planes from aircraft carriers to intercept and destroy threatening enemy planes at great distances from the fleet. For the second phase BOSTON is equipped with the deadly Terrier anti- aircraft guided missile. Terrier flies at twice the speed of sound to inter- cept enemy airplanes which may have slipped past the long-range cordon of defending planes. For close-in air defense, BOSTON has three and five inch guns, capable of throwing a hail of bursting flak into the air. BOSTON ' S five and eight inch guns fulfill her combat mission as a sup- port ship for amphibious landings. The big guns soften up the beaches before the Marines land, and act as artillery during the early stages of their advance inland. These same guns might be em- ployed against enemy warships or enemy merchant shipping either while on patrol as a surface raider, or act- ing as part of a blockading force. BOSTON ' S modern and extensive electronics equiiiment, especially that in the field of communications, makes her well suited to act as a flagship for almost any Naval operation. Thus, BOSTON is a versatile weapon possessing capabilities wliich make her suitable for almost any type of task force operations. Sixth Fleet Deployment I While deployed in the Mediter- ranean, the U.S.S. BOSTON sei-ved as a unit of the United States Sixth Fleet. As such, she played an integral part in carrying out the policies and programs of that Fleet. The Sixth Fleet ' s existence in the Mediterranean is primarily to act as a deterrent to war. BOSTON and the 50 other ships of the Fleet represent a vast amount of mobile power not only throughout the 2,700 mile length of the Mediterranean, but also 2,000 miles inland. The Sixth Fleet is capable of launching conventional or nuclear strikes in defense against ag- gression throughout Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and far into the Soviet Union. It can land 2200 Marines on three continents in a matter of days. The Sixth Fleet is mobile, self- supporting, and self-protecting. It is tied to no particular land base but is completely supplied while at sea. It operates from international waters where no permission is needed to launch strike or defense aircraft or to shift its forces as a new situation de- velops. In its 18 years of existence, the Sixth Fleet has never fired a hostile gun, although it has been continually prepared to do so in case the need should ever arise. It has never been involved in war largely because its very presence gives those who would infringe upon American Allies and interests second thought. The Sixth Fleet representing the U. S. Navy ' s slogan Seapower for Peace , forms with our NATO Allies an armed force sufficient to meet any military challenge from the Com- munist bloc in the lands surrounding the Mediterranean Sea. In these 18 years, however, the Fleet has projected American power in other directions by building good- will among the people in these na- tions bordering the Mediterranean. BOSTON participated in this in two ways. The fii ' st was through a thorough educational program de- signed to give her officers and men an understanding of what they could expect ashore. This program at- tempted, for example, to explain why there is such a difference between the north and south of Italy, to explain the nationalism and pride of the Turks, and to explain the causes of the Cyprus problem. This allowed the BOSTON sailors to be a better guest of a country — one who, be- cause he understood what he saw, was more likely to enjoy his visit, and one more likely to leave a better impres- sion of America upon the people. The other means was Project Hand- clasp, the U. S. Navy ' s program of assistance to needy people overseas. Project Handclasp is an outgi ' owth of individual efforts by naval personnel to aid the underprivileged in foreign countries. Given official status by the Department of the Navy, the program provides for the transpoi-tation of Navy ships for donations of clothing, medical supplies, and books from civilian sources intended for distribu- tion to needy people in over-populated areas, to those who have lost their homes through disaster, and to hos- pitals and orphanages. In her role as delivery agent, BOSTON took aboard hospital sup- plies and equipment donated by nine Greater Boston hospitals, drugs do- nated by nine nationally-known phar- maceutical firms, Red Cross gift packages, and sporting goods, the total worth being more than $60,000. Much of the hospital equipment was refurbished enroute to the Mediter- ranean by BOSTON ' S International Team, members of the crew who also presented the goods upon arrival in each port. Thus, for each of the 365 days every year the Sixth Fleet actively protects and projects American for- eign policy in the Mediterranean Sea. BOSTON was there 138 of those days in 1964. She was there with carriers, destroyers, oilers, auxiliaries, sub- marines, minesweepers, and other cruisers. For 138 days her 1100 men sweated, froze, cried, and laughed . . . and did their part. This is the log of those 138 days. Rear Admiral Frederick H. Schneider, Jr. Commander, Cruiser-Destroyer Flotilla Ten 25 Septembei- 1964 Captain Miles R.

Naples From the harbor in the sun, Naples juts out at you like a cold cut diamond, glistening innocently on the hills by the bay. In the crowded rutted streets the voice of an ancient city cries out to you of its maturity. Throughout the city are varied statues, castles, fortresses, and mu- seums — historical remnants of a chaotic and conquered past. This past is everywhere — in crowded streets, doorways, rooms and beds — in the scavenging eyes of children and in the resigned gaze of aging Neapol- itans. But modern Naples is other things too — styles from Rome and Paris, new cars, a busy harbor, and an emerging middle class society bred by expanding industry. Naples is a changing world. Surrounding Naples are vivacious Capri, brooding Vesuvius, and Rome, the city of Emperors. We poked through the Pompeian ruins, were awed by Rome, and peeked down the throat of Vesuvius. And we came away from all of this with a higher regard for past and the mark it makes upon present.

Trieste Trieste, an unexpected port of call on our cruise, was a city where, in contrast to Naples, the present had overtaken the past, not merged with it. From our berth at Mole Bersagliere w e could see the ancient Roman structures perched on the hills ringing the city. But these were few, and quickly gave way to wide, moderately trafficked streets and shops which appeared no different than those of our native Boston. Trieste offered easy accessibility to Venice and to the Italian Alps in Cortina d ' Aprezzo, but she offered herself as well. We explored the splendrous rooms of Miramare Castle, drank wine at Dante ' s, and walked everywhere. In doing so, we caught the flavor of a people and learned it well. Of lasting memory are the people of Trieste who wel- comed us enthusiastically and sincerely, we who were weary from the rigors of duty at sea, and thousands of miles from home. We were received every here with warmth, courtesy, and interest even into the homes of the Triestini. Their interest and enthusiasm in BOSTON was exemplified by the astonishing numbers that visited the ship during the periods of general visiting, . . . Over five thousand persons. As BOSTON prepared to depart for Catania, hundreds crowded the pier to wish us bon voyage. A sincere arriv- ederci piped to the Triestini added the final touch to a mem- orable visit. 4 {Iw ' Wf Miramare Castle 44 K Cortina, Italy. The Italian Alps. Old corner bookstore.

In the fall Sicily is hot. Catania is brown with dust from rainless weeks. The people move listlessly through the streets, hunger and hope- lessness painted grimly on their faces. Yet there is something strong about the look in their eyes, the strength of countless days won from hun- ger that can kill and disease that can maim. They live on from hour to hour, knowing that tomorrow ' s rising sun means another struggle, .vet an- other day to live. There is something about their allegiance to family and to its existence, an almost primitive dependence upon the whole. When they do one day reach the security of the modern age, the heritage of family love, born out of a common struggle for survival, will serve them well.

It is this intense spirit that one sees in a Turk ' s eye. One sees it and knows that it flows from a rich heritage of centuries-old communion between East and West.

One walks through the city and is dazzled by splashes of bright colors and the blur of legs beating out intense flamenco rhythms as the image whirls and whirls before one ' s eyes, faster and faster, searching for the haunting spirit of life and the essence of wine — wildness, warmth, and love. Every- where the search goes on tumbling forward with the sprawling carelessness of youth, know- ing no end, knowing only the search for it. But like an old and wise sage the city stops and as the first rays of a yellow sun strike across the dampened streets one hears far off the high pitched, mocking laugh of a woman. The sound grows fainter, drifting into nothingness. All is quiet. Each night the search goes on and on, human- ity searching for itself and finding only pieces along the way. Only in Barcelona does this hap- pen so often, so long, and for everyone, as if the city were a great billboard that read Enter and Live . But as one leaves, one looks up and nothing is written there. One sees then only the image of oneself. The billboard that is Barce- lona is only a mirror. 69 i ( RADM SCHNEIDER in Quarterdeck Ceremonies 71 The World Famous Barcelona Cathedral The Marketplace r 1 1 ■ - ' . ijv fflfe 1 ii m ti sm ilHL iTVa t ds ' -.

Chilled, she walks the deserted beach, longing for the sun. A fashion show brought chic French mannequins to BOSTON. I The image of Cannes in November was unfamiliar and unreal. There were few roaring, jazzy sports cars, fewer darkly tanned women, and no red beach balls — little to add to the familiar PLAYBOY INTERNATIONAL DATEBOOK concept. Instead, its boarded hotels stood in hollow grandeur and its shops displayed winter fashions. The promenade, still lined with palms, offered us a lonely walk beside a cold and steel-blue sea. We toured the Alps before snow and Monaco after Europe ' s rich had retreated to warmer climes. Neither Cannes, nor Nice, nor St. Raphael, nor St. Tropez is really France. Yet, as we walked in the mist and saw the red and blue and yellow lights reflected in the water and the hilltop spires silhou- etted in the evening mist above, we knew it was a storybook land. We knew the Riviera would be unreal forever, unreal in any season. There are moments when the unreal world is more desirable. The latest in cold-weather fashions 75 ' ,. -i±!Ji li •• -.

Camp Darby, a US Army base just outside Livorno, provided us with our last minute Christmas shop- ping items at exceptionally low prices. A quick train ride away lay Pisa, there we contem- plated the architect ' s problem and took numerous pictures of Galileo ' s handiwork.

City of master craftsmen, artists and artisans, Florence displays the works of Michelangelo and Da Vinci, Botticelli and Raphael in her galleries and piazzas for the travelers of the world to view.

Q Souvenirs ? Valencia Valencia, the city of the CID, is the centre of a happy, busy life, where the land is fruitful and the people gay. The restaurants provide a de- licious paella and the horchatas are fresh and cool. Valencia is a city of contrasts ; it is very West- ern quite similar to a small Philadelphia or Bos- ton. Yet, not far from the surging throngs of Fifth Avenue-styled men and women, is Paterna where several thousand people live in the clean earth. They have hollowed out the white rock with their pickaxes and made themselves living accommodations that look like honeycomb cells dug out of sugar. They have white-limed the chimneys that stick out of these dwellings, to harmonize with the earth that gives them shel- ter. Standing on a balcony of one ' s own height, one can look down into a small enclosure and see the women cooking their paellas . . . like looking to the bottom of a well where flowers are still growing.
