THE SIXTH FLEET You can compare the 6th Fleet to the cop on the neighborhood beat, a friendly guy who ' s liked by everybody and whose easy smile in no way indicates any softness towards any- one who would disturb the peace. Our mission is peace, but we are prepared for any eventuality. This is the way the former commander of the 6th Fleet, Vice Admiral C. E. Ekstrom, summarizes the task of the fleet. Specifically this means that the fleet has the responsibility to: — Help preserve the peace in the Mediter- ranean area. — Assure Mediterranean countries of the United States ' friendship and readiness to help them. — Protect and support United States citizens, interests, and policies in the Mediter- ranean area. — Be prepared to carry out such wartime as- signments as superior U.S. or NATO com- mands may order. — Provide realistic wartime training for ships and men of the U.S. Navy. — Perfect working relationships with our friends and allies. • — Familiarize U.S. Navy personnel with this strategic portion of the globe. Stated another way, the 6th Fleet has a twofold mission for peace first, and foremost, to maintain at all times a high degree of readiness and combat effectiveness ; and sec- ondly to spread and foster good will between the Mediterranean nations and our own. At sea the job of the fleet is to achieve and maintain a peak of combat readiness. In port the mission of the fleet is to promote good will, understanding, respect, and ac- ceptance, both through official contacts and through simple people to people relationships. Sports contests, ship teams, and local teams are a common feature of port visits. Church parties from ships worship in chui ' ches ashore. Exchanges of official calls and enter- tainment are a fixed part of all visits. Ships of the fleet are opened for public visiting all over the Mediterranean. Ship ' s bands play public concerts before enormous crowds. Bluejackets of the fleet can be found in all the great historic, or simply interesting, cities of Europe.
