For the most port our replenishing, refueling, re-arming and passenger transferals, were planned operational drills This was part of our 6th Fleet duty and taken care of in the routine of between port trips During our stay in Leghorn the Suez Canal trouble originated, which was due to change our port schedule for one thing. It eventually affected our replenishment schedule also, but this-last-fact didn ' t cause as much concern as losing out on the two Spanish ports did. The emergency replenishment did involve a very heavy work day of high-lining supplies to four cans that were rushed over from the states. It was a hectic day as the four smaller ships took their turn alongside, to receive supplies. Just before sun- set the last of the sleek greyhounds turned away to join the other three leaving a bubbling wake on their way to the Suez area. This terrific emer- gency job was worthy of a complimentary message from the 6th Fleet Service Force Commander, Captain Miller, who had witnessed it all from the bridge.
