DAHLGREN RETURNED At last the day arrived that had been in the crew ' s collective mind ' s eye since first setting out for the Mediterranean. As the time left overseas decreased from triple to double and finally to single figures, the incidence of channel fever gradually increased. The final Sea and Anchor Detail, always the worst one, but at the same time the best, seemed to drag forever as each man spent the last moments of this long deployment with his own thoughts. Many had mixed emotions that day. Some would have to stay aboard with the duty. Oth- ers would be discharged from the Navy never to go to sea again. The rest would leave the ship, certain to return and fall back into the old routine of the 0800-1600 workday. But all were thankful to have safely crossed 3600 miles of hostile ocean to this place where the language was spoken and understood, the food could be eaten without gastric distress, the cur- rency was freely exchanged and the neighbor- hoods were familiar. DLG-12 was back among family and friends. The DAHLGREN was home.

■■«■» 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.
