V i' The Ship Became I 1 1 i 1 G 4 S gi F i 2 E l A Part of T0 GALVESTON refuels from the British oiler ORANGE- LEAF. 55-4 The Italian Navy took part in many operations. One of the primary reasons for GALVESTON's presence in the Mediter- ranean was to fulfill our country's NATO commitments. Because of these commit- ments GALVESTON participated in many training exercises with ships of our own SIXTH Fleet and those of our NATO allies as well. These exercises were very useful in that all the nations that took part in them gained valuable information. They also helped to promote good will and under- standing among the countries involved. The British carrier HERMES was one of the ships that took part in a major series of exercises with GALVESTON.
