NAPLES, ITALY 8-16 JUNE WE ARRIVED in Naples with a major por- tion of the SIXTH fleet on the 8th of june and anchored in a position where we could just see the landing - - IF the binoculars used were powerful enough. The port of Naples stood out much-like other Italian ports which were subject to the bombings and bombardments of WWII. For many of the crew members this was the first visit to an Italian port, but their indoctrination to foreign liberty needed no broadening for, in Naples, as in previous Mediter- ranean ports, here it was again - Hey, joe -! Got a cigarette? Candy joe, Wanta Guide - Taxi - - etc., . . . The people just don't realize that the American is no different than anyone else - if he wants something, he'll ask for it. Actually, Naples, is the least of the many interesting things seen during the BUCK- LEY's stay here. Theorganized tours to Rome, Pompeii, Mt. Vesuvius, Capri, Sor- rento, etc., offered much more than did Naples, and the crew certainly took, ad- vantage of it. Two tours to Rome Q 12,000 Lire per capital will long be remembered by the sailors who were lucky enough to visit the Eternal City. The old Aque- ducts, the Coliseum, the churches of in- describable beauty, the Catacombs, where the remains. of St. Peter and St. Paul were discovered, entombed side by side. The fact that this was the Holy Year in Rome made the city even more crowded than usual, but it added a .variety of people from all over the world in their native costumes that brightened the surround- ings considerably. Of the other tours, Pompeii was probably the most popular, To see the homes and places of business - some of them almost entirely intact, after 2,000 years of preservation by volcano ash, was enough to make one think twice of the modern civilization in which we live. ' For the souvenir hunters, there were the excellent gloves, the fine cameos, and the beautiful gold and silverifiligree work. The biggest regret was that we had to leave so soon, but the members of the crew who took advantage of the tours offered them, saw sights that hundredsof thou- sands are paying millions to see, especially this year. . Yes, Naples is quite a place, but let's go! Our next stop is on the Italian Riviera and all hands say goodbye to Naples and its varied entertainment.
