' A man I guess never realizes how fortunate he is or how wonderful life can be until he has his own home, his own quarterdeck on which to walk. Funny, the fantastic ideas and memories that creep back into your Daddy's head justwatching the dancing, tapering, multicolored flames in the fireplace. Must stop this dreaming! I'm living now, not in the past. Don't you youngsters have any homework? What is that you're reading, Jimmy? An old Navy book of mine? Which one? The what? Ohl Oh! The Grand Canyon's cruise to the Med in 1956 - 1957. A sea story, eh? You know your Dad always has time for another such story. I was once a student of ancient history just as you are today. And, it was as difficult for me as it is for you, To remember all the fabulous characters who walked across the stage of life, played their parts, spoke their lines fsome of which have echoed through the corridors of the centuriesj oftimes seemed impossible. For example: 'the men of iron who sailed the ships of wood' it is still hard to believe, - ships propelled by either sails or rows of galley-slaves chained to their oarlocks, As a boy l was fascinated by these stories recorded in our history books. The Phoenicians - men of the sea, the sea faring Norsemen - the Vikings, what menl And, in your Dad's day, the intrepid crew that sailed the Mediterranean in a ship called the Grand Canyon. This is the log or journal of that cruise. We travelled over the same sea lanes of routes which saw the earliest sailing men R h proceed on voyages of conquest or discovery. - The people of ancient Carthage, ome, t e Egyptians, the Greeks, the Goths, the Saracens, the Franks, the Italians and Spaniards. It was all a series of wonderful stories. Why? You ask? Why bother to fill your heads with such things of a past longdead, when the world is resentin so many new and wonderful things everyday? Dreams of 20 or 30 years ago P S which are today realities, I know are of much more interest - space ships, earth satellites, ' d . H wever, commercial flights which exceed the speed of sound. Yes, these are modern won ers o l' d for et all such wonders are the results of the trials and errors of you must rea ize an never g the peoples who lived long before our time. What people? Euclid, Archimedes, Plato, Socrates, ' ' ll have DeMedici, Pasteur, Newton, the Wright brothers, our own research laboratories - a contributed a fair share to the present mechanical progress of the world. Why, it seems only -2 ' 1 e earch corporation whose show yesterday, TV was new to us then, that accrtain arge r s n appeared for one hour weekly had a slogan, Progress is our most important product. x , -s I ' L: 4,113 ':,, we ms, -' Z: , K: jr , This was the 8th Mediterranean Cruise of the Grand Canyon, touching 3 continents and 6 countries, repairing and making seaworthy, ships of 6 Destroyer Divisions, 4 Submarines, etc. All in keeping with the ship named in honor of the seventh wonder of the world. From Gibralter to the Suez to Piraeus and from the Riviera to Barcelona to Palermo shesuccess- fully carried out her mission as the Flag for Service Forces Sixth Fleet, Fleet Tender and an ambassador of good will from America to the peoples of the 1,000,000 square miles of the Mediterranean. With the best wishes of DesLant upon de- parture, we have, we believe, fulfilled his wishes and maintained the finest traditions of the Naval Service. This journal, then, is a tribute to its splendid crew. v . 1-., ' - - 7 - .-., ---, ' n - P' 2 .r ' T l l 4 L' iter f7'N 1. r Nc '4 v J 5 E fflulfl fl Y- fag , I 68 ffv'-i-'::' eytwiwv- fi J 519. 5 C t 1 ff. .- . wh, 5' L X 7x Durin this memo bl ' 1 . a, - s , N witnesses? our workira fe CIllI'1SL to tm Mbdltpgranean I have 1 X h Y ng. inte ' igently and unstintingly for long ours of the days and nights in rendering service to others of the Sixth Fleet. Every department on the ship is to be com- mended. Our deck force and those members ofthe other departments assisting that force have handled hundreds of tons of replenish- ment items during long arduous hours at sea, often on slippery and pitching decks. In port we have seen them working round the clock on duty for benefitof the whole fleet. At the same time, they have maintained the appearance of the ship in a manner that we all can be proud of while moving in company with the smart-appearing Sixth Fleet. Grand Canyon's repair department has shown acompetence li ff7 'fiff and versatility that has made known its splendid reputation in , JAAKJJQ waters beyond Narragansett Bay. No matter the size of the J ship, Iowa class, Forrestal class or the little minesweeper, an excellent job has been done. We are , truly a fleet tender in every sense of the word. Our engineers have transformed this ship from the doubtful class of engineering readiness of old ,L Fall River days to a none superior condition. Yes, and the evap gang has learned how to make enough 4 water to replenish a goodly part of the Sixth Fleet, In fact, in their stride, they have done a bit of just lj that. Meanwhile the boys below have made the engineering spaces look like a palace. fi Supply has earned the gratitude of a host of pleased naval personnel throughout the Sixth Fleet, in- cluding some well-fed sailors in the Grand Canyon. Dependents on station have been particularly thank- lj ful for Supply's courteous and efficient service in providing the necessities from far away America. At '55 this juncture, I might also say 'thank you from the orphans of Greece and France. - l jj Operations have kept us safe and smart in the conduct of the ship at sea. Our communications have , been responsive and alert, Many are those who have painfully thanked the dental department for its is always effective and highly professional service to the fleet. Our medicos invariably have demonstrated M know-how under the guidance of our energetic and intelligent young surgeon. I 1 u H, Lastly, may I personally thank the members of the cruise book staff who, in addition to their regular it Eliuties, have devoted themselves in long hours of toil for the common good. There is no higher SGHSG of uty than their's. ., :Q 4 .. 51: XL ummvm 7 i From the Commodore's Bridge' your cruise in the Med- 901129 Dewel' Hoffman . fashianean has been a particularly successful event in the , mng of Modern American Naval history.

Well, we left from the old State Pier at Fall River, Mass. - a part of the Newport Naval Base - on 24 ' September 1956. Things and times were still in a state of uproar. Our destination was the Eastern Medi- terranean. We were not a combatant ship, as such, Rather, we were a type, then so necessary to keep the fighting ships in tip-top shape materially and physically in order for them to do the tasks assigned. It may interest you to know that we had at that time as part of the then 6th Fleet the world's mightiest sailing ' fortress - the carrier Forrestal, the mighty battleship Iowa, various other carriers, cruisers, destroyers, auxiliaries and the Navy's first guided missile cruiser, the Boston, t m 1 K .

Q - The World Famous Parthenon on the Acropolis GREECE 13 October - we lay at anchor in Phaleron Bay - off the coast of Piraeus the sea port of Athens. Founded in 86 B C Athens became the capitol of the newly established Greek kingdom in A D 1833 Repeatedly in her long history Athens has been caught up in the Cyclonic eye of the ravages of war and barbarism only to rise again Though we were foreign nationals our mission was of peace and reassurance. The destruction and havoc of the volcanic ash of war is everywhere evident However we were not really prepared for the scenes that greeted us. A thoroughly modern city filled with activity and reminders all about of the peak of culture once attained by THE ATHENS of the world. Today, as in the day of C-reece's greatest poet - Pindar, the heart of Athens ustreaming with oblations Qofferingsl, is wide- thronged with many a face . - and, modern Athens, clean, busy and gay with its more than one half million inhabitants is centered upon Omonia Square. Here the best cafes, the Zappeion gardens - most attractive - when lit up at night. Constitution Square, with the white marble facade of the palace, along which march the colorful Evzones - the palace guard. Then there was Yannakis' - the most famous cafe in Athens - the center of news, gossip and political canards. Perhaps, the only difference the early Greeks might observe would be that of our modern uniforms and dress. A city long to be remembered! 23 ul?-an hunk.-1-. ,nn-,,,, ,,.,,,,,.. ..,...-., A-pf-fr-. 4-rw.-'Q' I T 1 5 --M '.

GW MZ The historic peninsula of Sinai, which the Suez Canal separates from the rest of Africa, is the place where Moses received the Ten Commandments. Across it passes the most historic road in the world, the one linking Palestine and Egypt. Beside this road, along which the Holy Family once travelled fleeing into Egypt is a railroad whose crack train is the Milk and Honey Express Opened in 1869 the Suez Canal is 103 miles long. lt connects the Med with the Red Sea. This canal has been the life line of the British Empire. Our cover is meaningful in that the Ensign was fully illuminated at night during the Suez crisis of 1956 that the contending elements would know that America had sent help to lighten the load of her beleagured constituents ashore and were not participants in the struggle for power. bf- N ' - ZDRX ff' 22811233 L-Q-x '7 ts 7 ja K I 'K b' . s . -'99 t -I V f ----W -. c '4 L... ,wr lp I x i XXX gn Rx 1 Q A .m. -L if Q4 5 F' ,ffxmkxl I Q fr xx -,Xi J., .

A storied place that knew the ravages of earthquakes, erosion and the invaders. Who can forget the immense lighted statue ofthe Virgin Mother Mary of Messina and the miracle church ofthe Ave Maria? Then, too, the special trips we made at 1145 to see the clock in the companile of the Cathedral? The old lion that had r-'X Q.

The principle idea of the sixth fleet is to operate without a home port. Our job was to keep the fighting ships supplied while underway. lt was a credit to the t'leet's teamwork to see tons of supplies or thousands of gallons of fuel transferred while two ships sped along at 12 knots, not more than 100 feetapart.

That walk from the pier to the head of the fleet landing! My knees still buckle. I remember the site as the M boat approached it from the ship, A magnificient, massive waterfront! Buildings that looked like art museums, but housed rather the city offic- ialsl This was truly an amazing city. lt had proved invincible to Roman efforts of conquest until B,C, 272. ln A.D. 927 it was destroyed by the Arabs, and then rebuilt at a later date by the Turks. Taranto ranks second to LaSpezia as the chief military port of Italy. A truly beautiful city for those who chanced to see' it inthe morning and afternoon hours, when the sun lent its radiance to man's handiwork. I D I Q I I I Z Ana.

We were privileged, while at Cannes, to have enter tained the orphans and underprivileged kiddos in num ber about 107, at our Christmas party Away from home during that holy season is always a most lone some period. Home and its varied atmospheres takes on many hues at that time. There is always some special, special reason for individual loneliness. So we resolved our problem with those less fortunate - Those who have no homes. The hap- piness that lighted up the children's faces, the inner joy that radiated from them to all hands gave us the true meaning and spirit of Chirstmas - sharing with others - peace from and to hearts motivated by good will. ln each little child was the Christchild - and this time welcomed, not turned away.

Palermo was founded by the Phoenicians. Then the Carthaginians, Romans, the Turks, the Arabs, the Norman French - each in turn ruled Palermo until the King moved to a new capitol, Naples, in the 13th century. The revolt in 1282 is a story re- corded in the well known opera Sicilian Ves- pers . Mosaics, paintings, sculpture, architecture - some of the most unusual in the world -the Palatine Chapel of the Royal Chapel of the Royal Palaceg the world's largest and richest mosaic over the main alter in the Cathedral of Monrealeg the Chiaromonte and Sclafini Pal- aces, the rarest of art treasures a combined Moorish - Norman blend. Palermo was most attractive to the then weary Med travellers. This was our last port of call. - 'wr' sf ,-q - 1 My ' '-Q.
