IC Z'flO.M,4S JLMSOJV l6'l?ll,Ml6'y 4 Z A f,7V5t75N.7y4 The insignia of the USS BRUMBY QDE1044J consists of a coat of arms, supporters motto, and compartment. The coat of arms consists of a shield, parted per pale, dexter blue and sinister white, with a blue border. The two gold bars charged diagonally across the shield symbolizes one of the two naval officers for whom the ship was named, Lieutenant Thomas Mason Brumby. The charge in dexter shief, four Stars superimposed, symbolizes Admiral Frank H. Brumby, the nephew of Lt. Brumby, and the other for whom the ship is named. In sinister base a crescent symbolizes the birthplace of the USS BRUMBY, New Orleans, The Crescent City. The main charge centered and parted per pale, counter colored, is the anchor, which, together with the blue and gold coat of arms, symbolizes the tradition of the United States Navy, the service to which the Admiral and Lt. Brumby devoted their lives. The supporters of the coat of arms are two brumbies, again symbolizing the Admiral and Lt. The brumby is an Australian wild horse and is referred to in a Kipling story, Her Majesty's Servants . The compartment contains the ships name and number. The motto HVENATOR ET VASTATOR , Hunter and Destroyer sig- nifies the mission of the USS BRUMBY and its role as an Anti-Submarine War- fare ship in the Cruiser-Destroyer Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet.

It had been along, difficult struggle for all departments to prepare the BRUMBY for a major cruise. The engineering department carried the greatest burden in taming the ship's 1200 pound steam plant. Her sailing had been preceded by several embarrassing failures and local opinion was not encouraging. But the 28th of November was the beginning of anew chap- ter in the life of this GARCIA class escort and in a few short months the BRUMBY would be known at all levels in the U.S. 6th Fleet as reliable, dependable, and professional. Tension increased as the inevitable sailing time neared. While nobody wanted to leave, it was a relief, finally, to shift colors and get underway. It would be a long cruise, but a sailor and his family have learned a lot about the hardship of being apart. For some those first hours in a tossing sea were not the happiest. Most were still seeing vi- sions of loved ones waving frantically from the pier or sea wall. Soon, however, the crew settled into the at-sea routine as BRUMBY churned a path toward Bermuda. On the morning of 30 November, Bermuda Island appeared on the horizon. About 925 miles from Mayport, Bermuda is a group of coral islands belonging to Britain. BRUMBY passed through an Opening in the coral reef that surrounds the island and carefully made way to the naval base where a fuel barge awaited her. Bermuda is apopular tour- ist haven and the sparkling waters and colorful homes made us regret our stay would be so short, By 1600 the same day BRUMBY was leaving Ber- muda behind. A longer leg of our transit across the Atlantic lay ahead and the navigators charted a course for the Azores which we would reach in five days. On 5 December Ponta Delgada on Sao Miquel Island arose, as if by magic, over the bow. Again there would be no liberty, but we would have a short period of relaxation and the chance to have dinner on stable mess decks. The Azores is a group of nine volcanic islands and several islets belonging to Portugal. Located 750 miles west of Lisbon, Ponta Delgada in the Sao Miquel group is a regular fueling stop for U.S. Ships. It would have been great to stretch our legs on the rolling hills and narrow streets of this island paradise. But with fueling completed in H few hours, the BRUMBY was once again underway. Destination - - Rota, Spain. With Rota as her goal, BRUMBY steamed on with the sunset and home far astern. Around mid- night On the next day, fires were lost in the boilers. The immediate silence and darkness had 6VGI'y0ne up and around in a flash. SoonBRUMBY was D.I.W. and began to rock violently in the swells. In an hour or so, the hardworking engineers had us steam - ing again on our track toward Rota. BRUMBY'S arrival in Rota, Spain on8 Decem- ber was especially noted by the USS BARNEY which we were to relieve. We were more than ready for our first liberty and mail call since leaving the United States. The next four days would be a trying time for the Spanish police, the Shore Patrol, and the XO, but we had to go ashore for refreshment and good times . Furthermore, we wanted to buy civilian clothes, thanks to Uncle Elmo's Z-gram. The United States rents the Rota base from Spain on a long-term basis. Rota is a supply and communications center and most ships stop there before entering the Med or before starting the trip back to the States. We enjoyed three days of liberty in Rota, sam- pling the Spanish foodand drink. Some traveled to the cities of Cadiz and Seville. But duty calls. With the BARNEY on her way back to the United States, an envious BRUMBY crew left Rota on the llth to join the 6th Fleet. Later that afternoon, BRUMBY approached the Straits of Gibraltar. Sunshine and calm seas brought the off-watch topside. Off the starboard side were the mountains of Morocco, but everyone from the new boots to the old-timers was occupied CHE 15015 H0195 SJ-!OW ,Y 3 Li. , I ' if A Q 'f X i 'C 'X it v ,, 1, f f - f with the famed Rock of Gibraltar. Completing the three-ringed circus were several groups of por- poise swimming and jumping around the sonar dome. The rough Atlantic was a part of the past and with a spirited crew, BRUMBY steamed into the calm Mediterranean. The BRUMBY crossed the Med with Soudha Bay, Crete at the end of the quartermaster's track. This island south of Greece welcomed us on 19 December with a brisk wind and chilly tempera- tures. There would be no shore liberty, but we were anxious to see the annual Bob Hope Christmas Show aboard the USS JOHN F. KENNEDY QCVA 67 J which was anchored nearby. Not long after the hook had been dropped the three liberty sections began to take small boats to the carrier. Most of the 6th Fleet in the eastern Med was present in the bay and several thousand sailors assembled on the huge flight deck as Hope's crew set up its cameras and sound equipment for the show. No space was wasted as sailors took seats from every vantage point. Occasionally one of the Golddiggers fThe Dean Martin Showb W0uld make an appearance on the flight deck or on the island. Naturally, she com- manded the attention and stares of all those ...er well, anxious sailors.

Hope opened the program with his monologue, making several cracks about the size of the J He had remarks about the cold weather, the presence of the Russian fleet in the Med. and Adm. Zumwalt. But Bob knows what the troops want to see and as soon as the monologue was over, he presented the Golddiggers, Jennifer Hosten who is Miss World of 1971, Ursula Andress, the Ding-a-lings, Lola Falana, Miss Bobbi Martin, Gloria Loring, Johnny Bench, and a fashion show. Miss World walked on stage amid whistles and thunderous applause. She had alffew nonsense lines to say with Bob, but nobody was paying any attention to what she had to say. Ursula Andress and Bob played the parts of spies. What a time for undercover work! Ursula declined an invitation from the BRUMBY men to complete the rest of the cruise with them. Gloria Loring sang and was as delightful to the eyes as to the ears. Lola Falana shared a little soul as she sang Fever . Her dancing across the stage could be rated R in Jacksonville, but not in Soudha Bay. Miss Bobbi Martin provided country-western entertainment. Johnny Bench, catcher for the Cincinnati Reds, tossed some punch lines at Bob as they discussed the world of baseball.

The Christmas show ended with the traditional carol, Silent Night . Christmas was going to be a lonely time for us so far away from home so we said Thanks to Bob Hope for the show he brought to us. The Fleet left Soudha Bay the next morning for operation in the Med. but already our minds were set on sailing for Greece and spending the holidays exploring that ancient country. On 21 December, the BRUMBY pulled into Piraeus, Greece under cloudy skies and occasional rain. Piraeus is Greece's busiest and most impor- tant sea port serving Athens which was builtinland for protection in former times. The two cities have grown together now and are incorporated as Greater Athens. Athens was the most powerful city-state and as she emerged into history she was governed by kings and the people were grouped into families and tribes. In the 7th and 8th centuries, the mon- archy was superceded by the. archons chosen by the aristocracy. Constitutional and economic re- forms were made in 594 B.C. by Solon. Pisistra- tus seized power in 560 B.C. and ruled as a tyrant for 33 years. His sons ruled until the democrats defeated oligarchs and Cleisthenes introduced re- forms making Athens the first democracy, When Athens' superior navy repulsed the Persians in 480 B.C., she emerged as leader of the Ionian Greeks. During the reigns of Cimon and Pericles, Athens flourished as a commercial center and experienced her great creative age. The dra- matists Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides lived at this time. The great comic playwright Aristo- phanes and philosopher Socrates also contributed to Athens' cultural growth. Athens surrendered to Sparta in 404 B.C. but maintained her stature as a center of culture and commerce. Athens was the world's university center while under the dominance of Rome. The country later' felt the influence of Byzantine, Catalan, Florentine, and Turkish rule. The last century has seen Greece become one of the commercial and cultural leaders of the world. World War II destroyed her industry and port facil- ities, but her spirit and ancient monuments were left intact. Tours were arranged and BRUMBYMEN were anxious to leave the ship for a few hours to see the birthplace of democracy. In Piraeus there was a restored Byzantine church and a modern outdoor theater patterned after the ancient ones near the Acropolis. The large harbor is busy with ships Of all nations and tourist ships pull in daily. Athens proper is five miles from Piraeus. Nearby at Daphne is an old church which containS the finest examples of Byzantlne mosaics 1n the world The mosaics represent four events 1n the 408 B.C., is a combination of three temples dedi- cated to Athens, Poseidon, and Erectheus. Its con- fusion of styles may represent the struggle of these gods to be the patron god of Athens. Its famous south facade is the Caryatid Porch with its impos- ing female figures. The other structure on the Acropolis is the Temple of Athena. One of the most famous struc- tures in the world, it is called the Parthenon al- though only one of its rooms was actually the Parthenon. The Parthenon was completed in 432 B.C. during the reign of Pericles. It is a magnifi- cent structure 228 feet long and 101 feet wide hav- ing 8 columns at the ends and 17 columns on the Life of Christ. The precise techniques of the artists who created these mosaics has been lost with them and cannot be duplicated by modern craftsmen. Among Athens' ruins, the Acropolis ffortified hilly with its temples is the most famous. This fortified hill has one access called the Prophlaea fouter gatesb. Near the gateway is the small Tem- ple of Nike Apteros fTemple of Wingless Victoryj. It is in the Ionic style and is dedicated to the Athena of Victory called Nike. It was destroyed in 1687 and reconstructed in 1835 with the original ma- terials and again in 1930 when the foundation be- came weakened.

This example of Dori elegance was intact until 1687 when the Acropolis was bombarded by Venetial forces and a Turkish powder magazine was exploded causing great dam- age. Restoration was completed as far as possible in 1931. I In the lower city is the Temple of Theseus which is the best preserved Greek temple in the world.

Leading southeastward from Omonoia Square are Venizelou and Stadiou Avenues. They are lined with hotels and shops for the many tourists that come to Athens. These avenues extend to Consti- tution Square where is located the Parliament building. To the northeast is Athens' highest hill called Lycabettus which is surrounded by a fash- ionable residential district called Kolonaki. Plaka to the west is the heart of the golf quarter. Its narrow cobblestone streets are lined with low, light-colored stucco buildings. There are many nightclubs and restaurants in this area. Within walking distance are the National Gardens, the Agora, the Acropolis, museums, and theaters. The New Cathedral of Athens is the church of the archbishop who presides over the Greek Orthodox church. A Byzantine church built inthe 13th century is called the Little Cathedral of Athens. Although Easter is the major religious holiday in Greece, the streets and stores of Athens were decorated for Christmas and they were filled with thousands of Christmas shoppers. The sidewalks were packed by the throngs of last-minute shoppers. The Athens area produces about two-thirds P of the nation's industrial output, with most of the heavy industry concentrated in Piraeus. Factories and mills manufacture textiles, clothing, chemicals , metal goods, building materials, and machinery. Food processing, oil refining, ship building, and printing are also thriving industries here. Tourism contributes a substantial amount to the nations' economy. We were enjoying our visit to Athens and look- ing forward to more liberty after Christmas, but a message was received selecting BRUMBY for special operations to begin on 26 December! BRUMBY was chosen because of her excellent material readiness. Preparations were made to get underway. On 26 December the ship left Piraeus for special operation. We only knew that we would be following the Russian fleet, present in the Med., especially the helicopter ship LENINGRAD 18445, Other Russian ships in the area included cruisers, DLG's, destroyers, and oceanographic vessels. The length of the mission was unknown. BRUMBY relieved the USS WILLIAM R. RUSH as the LENINGRAD's escort. We were excited about being so close to the Russians but the initial novelty soon gave way to monotony. Those long dHYS of 'failing the LENINGRAD proved plenty Of time for giving BRUMBY a good cleaning. The in- board passageways were painted, first division la- bored on the outside of the ship, and other routine maintenance was completed. On New Year's Eve, BRUMBY signalmell flashed a Happy New Year to the crew of the LENINGRAD. After a long wait, the Russians flashed a Thank you . Happy New Year to you, too. That was our first communication with the Russians. BRUMBY continued to follow the Russians. Most of the time was spent near Egypt, but we also followed them westward to Sardinia and eastward to Crete. We thought BRUMBY would rejoin the 6th Fleet when relieved by another destroyer. But old reliable was not relieved. Orders were given to dash to Augusta Bay, Sicily for fuel while U.S. Navy PC-3's took over tracking the LENIN- GRAD from the air. With a full load of fuel and some mail from home, BRUMBY was back on station in a few hours. We were going to learn a few more tricks about flexible scheduling in the future. . On 13 January, we pulled into the Grand Harbor of Valetta, Malta. We had steamed constantly for 19 days and some well-deserved liberty was ahead. We moored alongside the tender USS GRAND CANYON and other destroyers. Soon we were going ashore to explore this little island at the cross- roads of the Mediterranean. Malta consists of the islands of Malta, Gozo, Comino and a few islets. It is a former British protectorate and lies 60 miles south of Sicily and has long been an important strategic island because of its position in the center of the Mediterranean Mlswsgsgygyzsf NW' f , fsw X WX WSW if f f X f f sw f f is Wt X X Z sw X WNW' X 4 Q: sf Q, ,, A is Zsfysf 4-,wks 15 KAW w? C at the Straits of Tunisia. The harbors are natur- ally deep and beautiful. During the last War, the presence of British and allied sea and air forces there made Malta a prime target for Axis bomb- ers. Malta has been occupied in turn by the Phoeni- cians, Greeks, Carthaginians, and Romans. The Arabs seized it in 870. Later the Emperor Charles V bestowed it upon the Knights Hospitalers of St. John of Jerusalem. The Order of St. John began as an aid to weary and ill crusaders upon their arrival in Jeru- salem. The Order built the fortifications that are today the world's best example of medieval battle- ments. In 1565, Grand Master Jean de La Valette, 9,000 troops defended Malta against 29,000 Turks over a period of four months Napoleon seized Malta 1n 1798 His forces were blockaded there by the British Malta requested to become a British protectorate Some self rule was granted in 1939 and in 1947 Malta was then autonomous except 1n foreign affairs and defense Failure of talks on the island s status in 1958 led to riots, the revo cation of the 1947 constitution and government by an appointed governor and council After climbing the w1nd1ng stairs or takin the precarious elevator to the top of the walls by the harbor, Valetta appears to be an endless 11ne of taxis or horse drawn carriages The business , 7 ,, I, ,,,, Tw f A W W x ,fff 6 QC , ,ff f ' ,,,, L, ,,,,, ,,,, 5 ...M rrvl ZZWZVX I I' ,W ,ff WW' vw ZWWW 7 V 'Z I X Y 'Z f , ' ff Q, f ',1' Wa 'f , W ,fl 7. ,f ' Qf , ' ,I H ,m'ij,,WW XXMXMM f ,' ,WM WW7, 1 , ftif ff X V f M , 44 g 5 QV 4.43 district is around the parallel streets of King's Way and Market Street. Here are countless shops in the style of England selling all manner of arti- cles. There is china, textiles, suits, dresses, crystal, jewelry, and lace to name a few of the bargains. These shops lure the natives, tourists, and BRUMBY men as well. Quite a few souvenirs were brought back from Valetta. Between King's Way and Market Street is the church of St. John. This church, dedicated to the one who founded Christianity on the island, is not impressive from the outside. The structure was designed by an architect who was one of the best builders of battlements and appears to be a castle rather than a church. Inside there is a wealth of decoration making this church one of the richest in the world. The Order of St. John con- sisted of noblemen who had large personal treas- ures. This was their church and the result was the building of a wealthy place of worship. The walls and pillars are of limestone that is carved ornately and gilted with solid gold. The ceiling is covered with paintings. The painting was done in oil di- rectly upon the limestone ceiling. The technique for doing this is unknown today. Protecting the altar of the holy sacrament is a solid silver fence 20 feet wide and eight feet tall. During an invasion by the French the Maltese painted the fence black and the French mistook it for a common metal ,f fWy WWW if 44 K Q.

Each tomb is covered by a richly deco- rated marble slab. In another part is a huge paint- ing of the beheading of John the Baptist. It was painted where it is today by the artist Carravagio whose advanced skill and genius made possible the success of Rembrandt and da Vinci. The Church of St. John was an interesting stop on our tour of Valetta. On a hill in the center of the island is Mdina, the old capitol of Malta. Mdina was once the gov- ernmental and religious center for the island. To- day the town is an 'exclusivelresidential area for noble families and wealthy businessmen. There is an international school for children and an order of Benedictine sisters there. The church of St. Paul is beautifully ornate and was the Bishop's church before Valetta became the capitol. During the Feast of St. Paul, the church's rich store of gold and silver chalaces and candelabra are displayed along with the priceless tapestries and carpets. The waterless moat surrounding the city contains a variety of trees and flowers. Without the activity of the church and government, the narrow, stone streets wind past quiet buildings and Mdina is called the Silent City .

All of the work, including the paintings and ornamental marble, was done by the villagers. Abomb crashed through the dome during the second world war and shattered the marble floor, but the dome did not fall. This beautiful church was built around the old one which was dismantled and carried through the front doors in ten days. Also in the distance from Mdina is St. Paul's Bay where it is believed that St. Paul landed when shipwrecked on his way to Rome. Nearby is a memorial from the Maltese people for the late John F. Kennedy. Between St. Paul's Bay and Valetta is a new complex for the tourists and unwary sailors in- cluding the new Maltese Hilton and the Malta ca- sino. A little BRUMBY money was left onthe tables of the casino. BRUMBY's stay in Malta came to an end and she was underway on 21 January for more special operation. This time we would be headed for the Egyptian coast to find our Russian friends again. BRUMBY entered Valetta's harbor once again on 29 January after eight days of special operations with the Russians near Tunisia. The weather had been good and many of us took advantage of the warm sunshine. Our Stay in Malta was devoted to preparing for the long anticipated visit to Split Yugoslavia. We expected Split to be the highlight of the cruise and hoped a last minute mission would not interfere. I We left Malta on 3 February and headed to- ward the Adriatic Sea which is a branch of the Med between Italy and Yugoslavia. Our visit was controlled by the State Department and was the first for a United States Ship in three years. The BRUMBY sailed past many islands and went through the narrows leading to the city. Then the waterless limestone hills rose in the back- ground above the city. Our arrival on 5 February was not unnoticed for there were dozens of people on the pier watching us tie up. The Captain paid formal calls on the Amer- ican Consul Genreal fHonorable Orve Wilsonj, and the Vice President of the assembly of Split commune, and the Deputy Commander of the Military Naval District RADM Grubilich. The Captain was accompanied by the American Naval Attache and the Yugoslav Liaison Officer. Later when these calls were returned to the V YY V A,,H . f-mf-M-'--'o'W ' BRUMBY, full honors were accorded the digni- taries by the ship's side boys and honor guard. Luncheons, cocktail parties, and tours of Split followed these formal duties. As soon as local regulations and helpful in- formation was explained, the crew went ashore amid the stares of the curious Yugoslavs. It was as if we were a group of explorers seeing new territory. Split is the chief city of the Dalmation coastal area. It is a busy and prosperous city of about 200,000.- The harbor is large and the best on the Adriatic. The heart of the city is within the walls of the palace of the Roman emperor Diocletian. The palace was completed in 305 A.D. and Diocle- tian lived there until he died in 313 A.D. The palace fell to various uses during the years in- cluding a military camp, market place and shopping center. After the Avars had attacked and left in 615 A.C., those who had escaped sought better shelter within the walls. They divided this im- mense area up into separate rooms with whatever building materials they could find. This was the beginning of the town Spalatum which is now Split. The recently cleared underground halls of the palace are today used as a dance hall for Sp1it's youth and as cool passageways for shoppers. Cover - ing 30,000 square yards, the palace walks are 618 feet on the east and west sides, 510 feet on the south side and 491 feet on the north side. Three of the four watchtowers are still standing. Each wall had a central gate. Most impressive is the Golden Gate in the northwall. Facing the gate on the outside is a large statue of Bishop Gregory of Nin, defender against Rome of the Slavis Liturgy during the 10th century. The sculp- ture is the work of Ivan Mestrovic who was Yugo- slavic's leading sculptor in thiscentury. Mestrovic lived in the United States from 1947 until his death in 1961. There is permanent exhibition of his sculp- tures in Split. In the central courtyard is what was designed fav r' :gg ,, .0 2-1 , as the Emperor's mausoleum. Today it is a cathe- dral. The carved wooden reliefs on the main door are the work of the Dalmation sculptor Buvina of the 13th century. The whole scene can be taken in by climbing the 200-foot belfry. Immediately around the palace are incredibly narrow streets where shoppers walk from shop to shop looking for the best buys. Competition is as much part of the Yugoslav economic as it isa Part of ours. Yugoslavia is open to western in' fluences. There arediscotheques with hard rock and psychedelic light shows. The status symbol and goal of most of the people is to own a car. They 5 can leave the country freely to work if they wish. There are no collectives. There is competitive advertising. Marshall Tito called upon the Yugoslavian people to unite against the axis powers during World War II and he called each Slav by his na tionality This bet on regional autonomy freedom of intellect and independence has been the key to Yugoslavian unity It d1d not take long to discover that the people of Split were eager to meet us and talk with us Many of us met 1nd1v1duals that have corresponded after the Shlp departed The Youth especially were , happy to practice their English and to discuss the issues that are currently hot the world over. Some discussions were made over a locally made plum brandy whose delayed reaction consist of an ex- plosive internal earthquake The sh1p hosted the people of Split during two days of general visiting They were welcomed aboard with a pamphlet about the sh1p in Serbo Croation Over 6000 people toured the weather decks and pilot house and were given refreshments on the mess decks The BRUMBY band performed on the O 1 level during the first day They at tracted so many people that they were forced to Q Q Q Q 0 0 . y p , - . . . 7 I 0 D I ' .

Many of us gladly gave white hats and other items to the young people who wanted a souvenir. Several of the crew were able to meet Yugo- slav individuals and accept invitations to their homes. All of us at one time or another found the people willing and eager to answer our questions and give us directions. There was a high level of interest in a soccer match between Split's team and the Polish National team. Split did not win but should be one of Yugoslavia's best teams by the end of the season. The BRUMBY left Split on the morning of 9 February. It was an experience we will not soon forget. Most of us would like to go back to Split to see those we met during our short stay. But, BRUMBY was headed to sea to join the Sixth Fleet for war games, ASW exercises, and plane guard duty. These drills and exercises are a necessary Part of the training program designed to keep the Sixth Fleet on its toes and maintain a high level of readiness. Plane guard duty consists of follow- ing 2000 yards behind the aircraft carrier and having a rescue team ready at all time to fish out any Pilots that did not make it back to their floating -A airstrip. The war games were fought by two forces set up with the task group and included many hours of general quarters. The personnel of operations department had a particularly rough schedule during these exercises. The most dangerous evolutions carried on at sea during peacetime are vertical replenishment and refueling. It takes precision and skill to com- plete these operations safely. Slippery decks, heavy seas, and the darkness ofrughtincrease the hazards of these operations. The vertrep and refueling details from the bridge to the fireroom, however, always completed their tasks with dis- patch and purpose each time it was necessary to do so. We refueled from Oilers, ammunitionships, a carrier, and a stores ship. Food and supplies came by helicopter from the USS SYLVANIA These helos came with two tons of cargo every three minutes but we never failed to clear the decks 1n time We were always happy to set the helo detail because that meant the coming of mail from home A favorite sight was the approach of the helo 4007 from the carrier FORRESTAL CCVA 599 On 24 February after a long fifteen days at sea the BRUMBY pulled into Palermo, Sicily for fuel Our orders were to fuel and leave the same day but a delay made lt necessary to stay over 1.1 2 0 7 KW Q, U vgfdi ful, , :umm , ,..f4,,4,g,fei,,N ,Mu Q 'G . . . . . . . . . . . . .

On 5 March, BRUMBY entered the large har- bor of Palma, Mallorca. The harbor is busy with the traffic of private yachts, passenger ships and commercial freighters. Palma is the capitol of this Spanish island. The largest of the Balearics, Mallorca is 115 Miles from the Spanish coast. The major industry by far is tourism and the is- land's 200 hotels host vacationers the year round. The climate is reputedly so mild that women never grow old, CDRATSJ but we witnessed the island's first snowfall in twenty-five years. The island has varied terrain from the beaches, to the mountain ridge in the northwest to the plain of the central part. The plain produces olives, figs, oranges, lemons, almonds, and vege- tables. Hundred of wind mills stand idle in the fields as electronic power runs the pumps that provide the water to the crops. Limestone, marble, iron, lead, and coal are mined. Other industries include the making of wine, brandy, pearl jewelry, ceramics, leather goods, and embroidery work. In the east near Manacor are Cueva del Drach fCaves of Dragonb famous for their under- ground lakes and formations of stalactites. In the largest part of the cave is a lake over 1000 wk wx f if f wwf' I X ! I V ,X yards long. Here visitors are entertained by the mysterious music of classical strings as they glide silently in boats on the darkened waters of the lake. The only illusions comes from a row of tiny white lights along the gun wales of the boats. Several of the crew rented cars to explore the country on their own, sample native foods, and seek souvenirs. Our stay in Palma was shortened by untimely developments in the near east. BRUNIBY departed Palma 8 March and headed for Soudha Bay, Crete where we anchored with several units of the Sixth Fleet on ll March. The ship developed a minor engineering prob- lem about this time and we were forced to head for a sheltered anchorage north of Crete. This shallow area was also occupied by three Russian ships. While the engineers were busy making the repairs, the signal men were trying their best to communicate with the Russians. Finally, the go ahead signal was flashed back. The rest of the conversation dealt with such politically topics as girl friends, length of cruise, and time since being home. Eventually, the Russian signal man said he had to go to the room of food . It waS dinner time for our Russian friends. We were happy to have on board Chaplain Merle T. STRICKLAND, LT, CHC, for the cruise. He was an inspiration to many and a card partner to most. Always on the mess decks during the early hours, Chaplain STRICKLAND was Sensitive to the needs of the crew. He became known as the Navy's only electric chaplain. A milestone in the career of every line offi- cer is the day on which he receives his qualifi- cation as an officer of the deck. This event places on his shoulders responsibility for the lives of the crew and the safety of the ship while he is on watch. It is an acknowledged fact that qualification for officer of the deck is the exclusive province of the line community. However, staff corps offi- cers often have the opportunity to stand bridge watches under instruction. Recently aboard the BRUMBY a staff corps officer acquired enough bridge experience to be qualified as officer of the deck. LT. Paul J. CLOVERDALE, MC, USNR, was presented his qualification in Barcelona, after two months bridge experience on BRUMBY. Dr. CLOVERDALE, the staff medical officer for COMDESDIV 102, homeported in Newport, R. I. came aboard BRUMBY to perform in his medical capacity. In addition, he volunteered for bridge watches and began an intensive study of those books which are required reading for the line officer. Commander HOLDER, congratulated Dr. COVERDALE on his fine bridge performance and extensive knowledge of the Rules of the Road, Navigation, and operational capabilities of the 1040 class destroyer escort. CDR. HOLDER also pre- sented the doctor with a letter of qualification as an officer of the deck for independent steaming to be placed in his service jacket. The ship was scheduled for TAV in Naples and headed northwest to arrive on 18 March. Naples is used by the Sixth Fleet as an overseas port. A naval air station and the Naval mail depot are also located in Naples as is the headquarters of the southern Europe and NATO forces. Since Naples is visited often it is not a favorite liberty port for old salts, but those arriving for the first time can find a lot of interesting places to explore. Naples today is probably not as peaceful and calm as it was in former times. There are simply too many cars, taxis, buses, trucks, shops, ped- dlers, and pedestrians. The rush hour traffic to the suburbs is as hectic as any other large city. But no matter how hurried the Neapolitans seem there is always time for the traditional afternoon siesta during which the shops are closed and the v city slows down. The day is not over, though, be- cause the shops open in the evening and the en- tertainment in the clubs will continue until very near dawn. In order to explore Naples, we followed a similar schedule but excluded the afternoon siesta. There are hundreds of stand-up bars, wine cellars, restaurants and clubs. The Naples U.S.O. sponsors a good restaurant and club. There are many places to discover or to re- visit. A large amusement park west of the city provides a variety of activities in the carnival atmosphere. During the day, walking is the best way to see the city. Naples is the third largest city in Italy and its harbor is the second busiest only to Genoa. The large plaza beside the harbor where the fleet ties up is called Piazza del Municipio. The great bulks of a castle dominates the plaza and provides a meeting place for young people. The castle is called Castel Nueovo and was built in 1282 for Charles I of Anjon. The gated arch on the west side is a great example of Italian Renaissance. Nearby is the Umberto Galleria which is a shipping center. The passageways of this cross- shaped structure are tile-mosaics and the roof is of arched glass. Exclusive shops display tempt- ing souvenirs. Across the street is Teatro San Carlo. This theater is one of the largest and most famous opera houses in the world. Its gloomy, dirty exterior gives no hint of the sparkling chandeliers and white and gold interior. Naples has well over two hundred churches. San Gennaro was constructed in the 13th century and is dedicated to St. Januarius the patron saint of Naples. The Santa Shiara is a 14th century Gothic Cathedral. The Capodimonte ftop of the mountainl over- looking the city and the bay of Naples is the city of the Royal Palace of Charles of Bourbon. He wanted to have the grandest hunting lodge in Europe and certainly must have. Today the palace is an art gallery containing Italian, Flemish, and Spanish masterpieces and local ceramics dating from 1737. The area around the palace includes a large land- scaped public park and the Piazza Reale, also there is a cameo factory on the mountain which is a ,popular stop for fine cameo. It is one of Italy's most important and contains sculpture, paintings, bronzes, and the decorative and utilitarian items taken from the excavations of the cities of Hercu- laneum and Pompeii. Its archaeological displays are of the most extensive in the world. Eastward from the center of Naples 1195 a large industrial complex along the bay.

Westward, tunnels which have improved Naples traffic problem. Tours were arranged to visit the excavations of Pompeii and to see the crater of Mt. Vesuvius Mt. Vesuvius can be seen plainly across the bay. The ship pulled into the large harbor of Bar- celona, Spain on 6 April. Barcelona is Spain's chief industrial city and one of the busiest ports in the Med. It was the capital of old Catalonia and was the center of separatist movements until its capture in 1937 ended the Spanish civil war. Beside fleet landing is Puerta de la Paz, a square dominated by a 200-foot monument to celebrating the return of Columbus from the new world. A replica of the Santa Maria'i is tied up in the harbor. Leading away from this plaza toward the heart of the city is Rambla de Cataluna. It is atree lined shopping street with flower markets, Spanish handicrafts, and song birds for sale. Along each side are dozens of shops. On the right is the old Gothic quarter with its narrow winding streets and on the left is the Chinese quarter. Barcelona has two hills. Tibidabo is topped by an amusement park and rises to 2000 feet. Mont- f 7 5 ', , f I fu . 3' If f 4 fl . W M if f , ff , ,WMM X f' f My , ,,,,,,V L. D' , ww S S Aww txxxx R .S .X....... N 'Q ' ' . .

The hill also has parks shaded roadways and res- taurants. lt was here, too, that we watched the time trials of the Barcelona Grand Prix as the racers turn the peaceful beauty of the parks into a racing circuit. This was probably the best part of our visit to Barcelona. A one-day trip was made to the famous mon- astery of Montserrat where a church and other buildings are nestled on the rocky ledges of the Dolomites. A three-day trip was made to the tiny country of Andorra for skiing. There were no broken legs but several sunburns. BRUMBY left Barcelona on 17 April and made brief stops at Palma, Mallorca where we had a ships party and Rota where we made ready for the trip home. The cruise was almost over but that trip across the Atlantic would be too long. The ship made the regular fueling stops in the Azores and in Bermuda. Ship to shore telephone calls were made and at last land was sighted onradar. At 1010 on 3 May, the BRUMBY pulled into NAVSTA, Mayport com- pleting a highly successful cruise of 35000 miles in the five months away from home. l6'6L4 KZ? 6007555 C M M.-an-msn: W fi YLIDGES LCDR.

In Palma, however, on April 23 the shoe was on the other foot and Captain HOLDER was surprised by his own awards cere- mony. On that morning the Captain was startled by the unexpected announcement, HCOMDESRON TEN, arriving. He hurried to the quarterdeck to find the officers and crew assembled at attention on the helo deck in dress blues, Call Smirking sheepishlyj He was even more surprised when the Commodore presented him with the Meritorious Service Medal for outstanding service while at- tachedto the staff of COMIDEAST Force. The citation he was presented read: 'For outstanding meritorious service as . Operations Officer on the staff of Commander Middle East Force from February 1969 to August 1970. Commander HOLDER's superb performance of duty during this period was greatly instrumental in enabling Middle Force - units to car ry out their mission more effec- tively.

Those people did not know the dedication, determination, and pro- fessional knowledge of the officers and men aboard. Some five and one half months and 35,000 steam- ing miles later we returned to Mayport, having met all assignments and challenges in an outstand- ing manner. The success of this deployment was no acci- dent- -it was a result of hard work and an excellent display of teamwork by all hands. I'm sure no Engineering 'Department has ever given a better account of themselves than did BRUMBY's during this deployment. I am well aware of the long hours of hard work and the many missed liberties that the Engineers encountered. The Weapons Depart- ment certainly more than carried their load, main- taining their weapons ready at all times, perform- ing replenishment and other seamanship evolutions in an outstanding manner, and maintaining the excellent appearance of the ship under adverse conditions. The Operations Department excelled in all assigned tasks ranging from communications, Navigation, tactics to administration. We are all dedicated to the Supply Department, which con- sistently provided us with so many outstanding services such as food, laundry, barbering, ship's store and many others. Our cruise wasn't all work. I'm sure we will long remember the ports we visited and the many interesting people we met. As years go by, I hope this book will serve to remind each of you of your shipmates on BRUMBY. I know I will turn through the pages frequently and remember how fortunate I was to have served with one of the most dedicated crews that ever sailed the Atlantic. Best of luckto each of you.
