YZ W ' r I -' The History of the COTTEN USS COTTEN CDDg669D, 21 2100-ton :legs troyer of the Fletcher Class, was built by the Federal Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Co. of Kearny, NJ. Her keel was laid on 8 February 1943 and only 166 days were required before she was launched 12 June 1943. This represented a construction Eiicord for a ship of her class. On hand to christen the ship was Mrs. Bessie Henderson Cotten, widow of the late CAPT Lyman Atkinson Cgtten, after whom the ship was named. 5 The COTTEN was eommissioned 24 july 1943 and, after a brief shakedown cruise, was on her 'way to Pearl Harbor. In mid-November 1943 she joined her first task force and saw much action in the Pacific Theater. In December 1945 CUTTEN was ordered into the Mothba1l Fleet at Charleston, S.C. On 15 july 1946, at the outbreak of hostilities in Korea, USS COTTEN was recommissioned a member of Destroyer Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet. Recommis- sioning ceremonies took place at Charleston 3 july 1951 with Mr. A.T. Smythe, a prominent lawyer, as guest speaker. COTTEN departed Newport, RJ., in May 1953 for the Far East via the Panama Operating out of Japan she spent four months in the KOICBH Theater where she supported United Nations Forces with famed Fast Carrier Task Force '77 and Blockadirlg SHCTES' corting Task Force 95. From Sasebo, japan, via the Suez Canal and the Mediterranean Sea, she returned to Newport to complete her around-the-World-Cl'l1iSC in Janurary 1954. After the world cruise, COTTEN served with various units of the Atlantic Fleet on training opera- tions until ordered to the Mediterranean for a tour of duty with the US.

Never has the COTTEN failed to meet her commitments. .Never has she failed to fulfill her mission in any manner other than honorably. I I have stressed thefact that the COTTEN TEAM is never better than the performance of the weakest member of the team. Therefore, Iamgreatlyplease to feel and know there is no g really weak member of our COTTEN TEAM. I we have manxpmemtfies of our times together and I shall t always remember them as the most pleasant and cherished memories of all. M.ej ' g Ai If I wish everyone the best of luck for the future and hope f t all my future duty assignments will be as happy and nice as eingfyour Commanding Officer has been.

Foc's1e reports anchor chain clear of the bouy. The Bridge Talker relayed to the Conning Officer. It was a dreary misty, foggy day - a day loaded with regret and anticipation of days at sea and liberties in Mediterranean ports. USS COT TEN was underway. Before us lay the open sea and the European continent where we were to perform a two-fold mis- sion. We were to be representatives of the greatest nation on earth - to think her thoughts, to show her good faith to as many as possible, to participate in an exacting training program with the U.S. Sixth Fleet. These things we set out to do and do well. Mark Brenton Reef Lightship abeam to port, shouted the port lookout and the signal gang hauled down NKEP. Word was passed to secure the Special Sea Detail. We placed pictures of our wives and sweethearts near our bunks and settled down to 14 busy days at sea before we would reach our first port of call.

In thi-1' stadium is kept a perpetual flame which is carried through a marathon every four years. john Bull's was out of bounds. One less place didn't make much difference. News stands which all advertised Kolynos tooth- paste readily supplied directions to other places where one could buy Fix or Ouzo. .The City Square offered a glimpse of Europe's relaxed mode of -living.

Atten- tion of all hands shifted to the fantail and beyond, to the nearby Police Barracks and coke UD vendor. We had our first view of Leghorn, Italy, and pedestrian traffic on the quay. The wallr to town seemed short after our long time at sea. In the town we found waiting for us our first really European side-walk cafes. With its interesting color, Livorno was also the ' 'jum- ping off places for many tours. Pisa with itsifamous leaning tower, and Florence had their share of visitors during our 16-day stay. Points of Cameos and peiture posttards will surely brmo ,CL memories - memories of our side cleaners, of the Italian barber, the piazzas and glowing recollections of a certain young mother pushing 2 babY Sffouef' After 16 days in Leghorn, days filled with liberties and fours, we readied our ship, lifted our anchors and sailed off to work and other interesting ports as we continued our tour in the Mediterranean. ' ' ff' interest were on the business ends of our light meters and and cameras. For some there were tours to Army Camp Darby. For others there were trips to Rome. Probably more sight seeing was accomplished on the four-day tours of Rome than during the remainder of our cruise.

Our salva- tion took form of old but inexpensive taxis. In fact, almost everything was inexpensive in this rhriving metropolis with its beautiful tree-lined streets and sun-kissed climate. You must see the city's cleanliness to believe it. The proud, friendly people seemed very happy. Barcelona was voted our best liberty porr, Three times as many votes were cast for Barcelona as were cast for the second most popular port - Can- nes, France. No doubt, colorful bull fights had something to do with our choice. Almost everyone saw at least one of the spec- tacular fights presented during our stay. Bugle and' and band music, padded horses, banderillos, swords, matadors and brave bulls made an afternoon that will long be remembered Olay! Olay! ' and another bull was carried away. Snapping castinets, lightening-fast stamping feet and sweet guitar music made Spanish dancing unforgettable. E . - - The custom of afternoon siestas - 1330 to 1600 was much to our liking. Shops stayed open late and gave us a chance to purchase mantillas,. Spanish lace, native costumed dolls and to partake of native food, wine and song. The huge statue of Christopher Colmnbus, discoverer of America, at Fleet Landing was erected in honor of his return to Barcelona in the summer of 1493 where he was received by Queen Isabella. Pueblo de Espanol was a real tourist stop. It was a complete replica of a Spanish village with each shop actually making and selling a typical A norrow Escape article which represented various sections of Spain. A walk through the Plaza de Cataluna or along the Ramblas found either crowded with people at almost any hour. During the day there were, in ad- dition, many stands selling flowers.

It's principal commodity is an ideal loca- tion for continental tourists such as Mr. and MIS. Errol Flynn who came aboard COTTEN for dinner. The spires of Cathedral de Palma were a dis- tinct land mark. The church itself is known for its two 550-pound silver candlelabra. Na rrow-gauge trains carrying rocks to the end of the quay just about made our day complete. EV' enings were taken care of by the taxi drivers' Sup- plernentsn. Water here was different. But the cerveza WaS just as good as anywhere else. In fact, it QVCH seemed to taste better during the softball game played between officers and the crew.

A walk along the beach prof vided some of the prettiest sight-seeing available throughout the Mediterranean. Because of tender availability our stay was extended to 13 days. This gave some of us time to make a trip to Paris. . Some of us took a tour along the entire Riviera and stopped at one of the perfume factories to see the hows and whys of the industry. A tour to Valberg, a ski resort in the French Alps, was also available. In Cannes we experienced aphenomenon common to the Northern Mediterranean - Mistral Winds. Strong swells and wind prevented boating and liberty for a day. Fortunately CPB not many people were trapped on the beach. French food, of course, was excellent as was the wine, champaign and beer. In Cannes the Ship's Store received most of our contract goods and was doing a land office business. It seemed everyone had at least one camera and had spent most of their money before the French girls put on a fashion show to sell clothing. Needless to point out, the fashion show was very successfull - from our point of view. r I V l i The Water Front , ,.., us- :-4.1.4-f---1 'k , , ..,..,.,..,-n,W-'f...f:Y...- ---in fr. 4 , , ., .,i.4,,,...'.,,4- ?:fC'i.FI'?9. ,Z -J f1',' 'f- f . ,.. r i The Eiffel Tower ' f ,,M, Below the Tower ' - A K 1?

Most of us stayed aboard and watched movies or spent hours trying to figure out where all our money had gone, Those of us who did hit the beach found the city interesting - a veritable melting pot of different cul- tures - both Eastern and Western. In just a 20-minute walk from the Waterfront we passed through modern Western European-style office buildings and stores, through present-day Greek residences, through markets and bazzars that could be found in any Eastern city. We wandered through the old Turkish and Byzantine sections. Churches of different styles were everywhere: St. George's, St. Demetrios', the Church of the Apostles and the Vladactor Monastary. We made a tour to Philippi, where St. Paul said to have been imprisoned. We also made a trip to the American Farm School Where we found good fresh American milk and fresh corn-on-the-cob. People thronged the streets nightly - some lining up to watch American movies at local theaters, most just walking. No one seemed in any particular hurry to go anywhere.

V - - The Blue Mosque I I The Sultan's Palace ' We felt rather mystic about the whole thing when we anchored opposite a sultan's palace in the land, of Moslems and mosques. In Istanbul, Turkey, .we found ourselves in a city of two con- tinents Q Europe and Asia - with the Black Sea and Russia only a day's ride up the Bosphorus. A fivefknot current through our anchorage made it feel as if we were underway all the while. Ferries made it se,e'rn-3-that much -more realistic. V I 'r Fleet landing was part of a mosque and Naval Museum. We' were 'much impressed with the sultan's palace but disappointed to find that the harem is no longer a national institution. We learned it is against the law to wear a fez in Turkey and that women are gen- erally no longer permitted to wearfveils which hide the face. We toured the old city and the new which aresep- afafefl by two bridges - and the river they cross. The lsmusut bazar is like a page from Arabian Knights with hundreds of tiny shops and carts jammed together selling every- thing imaginable at every imaginable price. Mostly we bought brass goods and Turkish meer- schaum pipes. However, the favorite item was silver puzzle rings which' nearly drove' us beserk as we tried to reassemble them. ' I We visited St. Sophia's Mosque. and the Blue Mos- que where we had to put slippers over our shoesbefore we entered. In the museums we saw priceless collec- tions of jewels, guns, scimitars and Turkish rugs. To help the Turks celebrate a national holiday, we full dressed our ship. We also shared in lifting of..-H' martial law curfew which allowed us to stay out two hours later. And...oh, yes. They had belly dancers, too.

Yet it was one of the most bombed places of World War II. The position of Malta in the Med- iterranean Sea will always be strategic Therefore NATO has an establishment there as well as the U S An' Force Harbor facilities - are very good and both British and French Ships were in port with us Though there is a Maltese language almost all of the natives speak English Outside of the language factor Malta differed little from other Med ports of call Maltese lace and pipes were the best buys A ride to Valleta was well worth while All the shops were on Kingsway and one block over on Strait St were all the bars The nickname of this narrow five-block long street is The Gut It fea- tured phonograph music from end to end -. Names of the bars were colorful and interesting Dirty Dick s Cocktail Lounge the Blue Lagoon The Bing Crosby bar the Golden Banarma and of course the Anchor We operated with a British tug one day and misty weather kept I many aboard another day It was just before payday but most of us had that last round feeling just before getting underway for home Q u . 4 Q .

ALWAYS REMEMBER A -little Rough N . as Go west, young man, go west, was ad- vice we didn't need.from Mae West or anyone else. We knew the direction, the lonelines s of separation, andphad the desire to go home. Out of Malta we wound up our training exercises, chopped Sixth Fleet and headed home. 5 We steamed two days before we passed the Rock which we didn't see because it was fogged out. Now there was only the small matter of about 3100 miles of' Blue Lagoon between us, and Ccrldington Point - only 3.0100 wet, angry, stormy... Itwish I weren't a lookout sandwiches for chow...miles between us and Gene's Cleansers. e - :Our thoughts were of home, of those that would be there to greet us, as we pitched and rolled along but we couldn't forget for a minute that we were at sea. We felt it every inch of the way. As We plowed along the navigator's selected course Westward we were comforted with the thought of a month- long period for leave and upkeep. Our leave schedule The Rock was planned...some of us, at least, wouldgbeshome for Christmas. Our occupation turned to preparing ,forthe destroyer's everneeded tender period ...even ,further ahead to an upcoming yard period. A Thanksgiving dinner, which featured two complete menus - turkey and ham dinners, was intger,r,up,ted and prolonged by refueling at sea operations. ,1,Aga-in,we realized that the Navy's mission mustloften take pre- cedence over such commodities as eating and sleeping. As we marked days off the calendar, and ,drew nearer to the States we became enmeshed, in a North Atlantic storm which tried us and,our.1ship. Already dampened spirits weren't helped, any. 'when we learned Army had defeated the Midshipmen in the annual Army- Navy game. A Then, at last, there. was? land on the horizong we had the thought that OI1CC,'Il'2O!Cg,WC. would be wrapped in the loving arms of tropi'cal ' Newport in the winter. We began to think of leave, seventy-two's and. forty- eights which would soon become reality. .It was almost unbelievable.

A , Z K' THE WAY HOME Dependents, friends and those only mildly interested were confused by reports that we would arrive in Newport, R.I., U.S.A., Tuesday, Sunday, Monday, we would tie up at newly constructed Pier No. 1, would moor in the bay,would arrive in themorning, the evening, the afternoon. About 16 messages later we put our first line over at Pier No. 1. It was approximate- ly 1400 Monday 28 November 1955. We had our months of sea duty behind us for which some of us received the Occupation Ribbon. W The road back was a rough one. Our last three days were spent riding out a North Atlantic Storm. During the storm we pitched, we tossed, we stood on our beam end with a 51'roll. COTTEN was damaged - not serv- iously but enough to be felt by all hands. Ovens broke loose inthe galley and were adrift. The result: we had a boil 'd d' - h ' ' ' e inner t e kind you couldn t .buy. The big- gest hurt was no bread, we had 44 inches of water in the cracker locker so we had no crackers, either. Happily we had our Thanksgiving meal before the storm. The menu featured Turkey, trimmings and fuel oil. Everyone milled around topside at first, talking and wondering who would be waiting to greet us. As soon as the Special Sea Detail was set and our call letters were in the air, we fell in atAquarters to enter port. Then we just stood there - waiting, watching and feeling very excited. . . ik, As we steamed by familiar Castle Rock and around- Coddington Point we had many places and thingsAto rAe- member since last we were here. We'd been to six dif- ferent countries...could say Thank you in five dif- ferent languages.--, We were loaded with Italian lire drachmae, francs, pesetas, Turkish lira and shillings which we could not exchange for American green . We had sets of undress blues that could walk alone. White hats long overdue for the rag bag, enough sou- venirs to furnish a Sultan's palace and sea stories to tell our grandchildren in years to come. A In our crew we had new fathers who had not seen their offspring. Somewhere there on the beach brand new little girls and boys waited to meet their daddys for the first time. Pretty soon we began our approach and a couple Of tugs came out to help us. We could make them out nowr.. all the people on the pier and the Yo-Yo ...girlS III bright coats - some bundled against the weather..some standing with babies in their arms, others waving fran' tically...children running up and down the deck...parentS standing with searching looks on their faces. Everyone smiled. The brow went over. There was a mad, confused rush. When we saw those happy, smiling, wonderful American people, we knew we were home! Only customs inspection stood between us and leave and liberty. avi i A . 3 X X - -.auf ,xX- M W. ...'

I J . . . , . D . , - bers who acted as guides. . , . The ultimate of their appreciation was apparent when, as they shook hands with the Captain and Mr. Scholle, each child took the hand, kissed it and placed it ag- ainst his forehead. Everyone had a lift of heart as they watched those Greek children accepting our small gift. . , - ,-.,. .. ,, . .

Once aboard each was assigned a rate for rate running mate to indoctrinate them in COTTEN mission and operating procedures. We learned from them, too. Gne of the Reserve sailors was a professional baker. He improved the quality of our bread. ' Final evaluation: We liked themg they liked us.
