MIDSHIPMEN The DAHLGREN was host to many young and aspiring naval officers from several countries during the 1974 Mediterranean cruise. Three Spanish, two Italian, two Iranian, one Danish and nineteen United States midshipmen spent from one to two months on board learning about shipboard life and getting a taste of the underway operations conducted on United States warships. They participated in the Cy- prus crisis, search and rescue missions, under- way refuelings and replenishments proving themselves equal to the job in each situation. They were eager to assume any and all duties assigned to them, some of which included in- terpreter, radio net talker, and EW watch- stander on top of their regular bridge watches. The midshipmen conducted themselves as of- ficers and gentlemen both in port and under- way. It was a successful cultural and profes- sional exchange for all involved.

■■«■» CDS-4 STAFF Upon arrival at Rota, Spain in June the DES- RON FOUR staff personnel commenced mov- ing aboard the DAHLGREN in preparation for working with the Sixth Fleet. These twelve men had to bring an enormous amount of ma- terial along with them in order to fulfill all the duties assigned or anticipated during the six months to follow. At times conditions were strained between the staff and crew, but an ex- cellent working relationship eventually evolved between these two groups of people which contributed significantly to the long list of accomplishments the DAHLGREN amassed during her stay in the Mediterranean. Hard workers and players, the staff toiled for five months on the DAHLGREN, but had to cut their stay short in November when the DAHL- GREN was selected to visit Bergen, Norway. When the ship stopped in Rota prior to head- ing north, the staff departed to spend their last month in the Med on the STANDLEY.
