Looking forward to six days of rest, ESSEX ar- rived at Naples on 2 August. But she was underway again on the 25th and a fortnight later was operating in support of the Seventh Fleet off Formosa. In early October ESSEX departed West Pac for home via Singa- pore, Colombo, Capetown and Rio de Janeiro. She cov- ered 78,000 engine miles in nine and one half months, nearly one third of the distance she covered in World War II, in what was believed to be the longest naval cruise in modern peacetime history. I IN FULL ARRAY ESSEX was again overhauled in Norfolk Naval Shipyard from January to the last week in April 1959. She rejoined the Second Fleet, without the usual underway training period in order to bolster our Sea Power during the Berlin crises. On 7 August 1959 ESSEX once again steamed from Mayport, Florida to assume guard in the Mediter- ranean with the Sixth Fleet. During Operation Mon- soon as escort to the President during his historic Good-will Tour, she played hostess to the members of the Presidential Press Party. Among them were radio and TV broadcasters who beamed their stories directly to the States from her powerful transmitters. The cruise was completed as she returned home 26 February 1960. Her return marked the end of the glorious career of the. seventeen year old lady's role as an attack car- rier. ESSEX will be redesignated a support aircraft carrier and fly the flag of ComCarDiv Eighteen as she assumes an important role in our anti-submarine de- fense.
