We had known for many months that CANBERRA was to join the Sixth Fleet in Mediterranean waters. All that had been was preparation for this day, when our ship would steam out to stand guard with other naval units im- plementing in a very real way the foreign policies of free nations in alliance. Naturally, the day was exciting. Weeks of loading supplies and ordnance material were brought to a climax with the few last deliveries. Personal business was completed with a hur- ried telephone call. Goodbyes were said to teary-eyed wives and sweethearts. On deck officers and men stood at quarters with an understandable lump in their throats. At 1030 the Special Sea and Anchor Detail was set, and at 1115 the single long blast on the bugle announced to all hands that CAN- BERRA's last line had left Pier Seven.
