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. No Captions required this IS HOME
