The ship, which was named for abay off the coast of Rhode 2' Island, gave as its statistics an overall length of 31.1 feet, width- 41 feet at the beam, maximum speed- 18 knots, and a full load displacement of 2,670 tons. Early surrender of Japan found the tender enroute to join the Seventh Fleet in the Pacific on the road to Tokyo. Her first assignments found her tending patrol and rescue squadrons of Fleet Air Wing ONE in Chinese, Japanese, and Philippine waters. It was during these operations that she earned dual eligibility for the China Service Medal and the Navy Occupation Service Medal. Subsequent duty followed in the Far East until, in 1946, she received orders to return to the United States via the Suez Canal for duty with the Atlantic Fleet. For a while she served as escortvessel to the Presidential Yacht, U. S. S. WILLIAMSBURG, In 1948 she was ordered to make a world cruise, duringwhich time she visited many ports in the Middle East which she was to see time and again in the future: Port Said, Aden, Bahrain, Ras Tanura, Kuwait, Sharja, Trincomalee, and Colombo. In 1949, having been outfitted with air conditioning and painted white to help reflect the intense heat prevalent in the Middle East, the U. S. S.

More recently she has participated in joint exercises with units from the Imperial Navy. On other occasions she has sped quickly to the scenes of disaster with relief supplies and has kept an ever constant vigilance over her vast area of operation. Many times she has weathered crisis in the Middle East, to which this year was no exception, and once she saw her passage blocked through the Suez Canal. In the course of her travels the ship has entertained such notables aboard as King Ibn Saud of Saudi Arabia, His Imperial Majesty Haille Selassie, Emperor of Ethiopiag Sheik Ab- dulla Al Sabal, Ruler of Kuwaitg Mohammed Riza Pahlevi, Shah of Irang the Sultan of Muscat: and avariety of ambassadors, governors, emirs, shaikhs, admirals, generals and a host of lesser officials.

The old salts wreaked havoc on the first cruisers the first day out and a Bon Voyage cake was baked by Hugh Craig and Archie Sherer which was devouredby all hands. The inscrip- tion on the cake --- Fair Winds and Smo- oth Sailing --- perfectly described the weather for the majority ofthe 3, 000 plus miles across the big blue pond. Soon, however, we were too busy getting the Witch ready to assume its Flashsip du- ties to notice the rock-n-roll in heavy seas. This task consisted primarily of painting, repairing, and more painting Our Atlantic crossing was made eventful by deviating slightly from our Great Cir- cle course to pass through the Azores. The attraction there was Ilha Nova, the world's newest and most active volcano, off the island of Fayal, Hha Nova was in full eruption as we passed by, showering flames and molten lava high into the sky After 11 days and many lonely mid-wat- ches, we arrived in. . . . . . .

During our four days here we all wan- dered around the shady boulevards and avenues and found immense satisfaction in the leisure of thc sidewalk cafes., Naturally, the bull fights attracteda throng ofwhite clad G. B. sailors but the ,bull fights were rivaled by visits to Barce- lona's Old Spanish Town and the city's magni- ficent parks and Cathedrals. Special mention is deserved by the many hours whiled away listen- ing to the Spanish guitar music and watching fiery senoritas dancingthe fandango. They could have danced all night! . I? .

From Cannes the most outstanding tour oi' the cruise motored down the famous Cote ITA zur fCoast of Bluc-5 to Ville- franche, past Nice and ultimately to Monte Carlo in thc- Principalityoi' Monaco.

Genoa,Italy As in our previous Mediterranean ports-of-call, we enjoyed four days of liberty in Genoa. No sooner then we had sailed into the harbor were we completely enveloped in a whirl of pizza pies, busy traffic and tempestuous Italians. Genoa will be long recalled for thewarmness of its citizens fespecially the ones that dotted the streets in their beautifully summer dres sesj. Here many of the men made it a point to visit the home of Christopher Columbus and a few were fortunate enough to make a quick trip to Milan, Italy, of which they brought back glowing reports of the great Cathedrals and of the gorgeous scenery of the Italian countryside, Q! if 4, 4' vw- - - . ----v-H y- K 4 Q . .,- ,,- A VAN-Vit!!

'I 4 inns! if P f 'i.gQ'P Athens,Greece The latter part of June found the Green Witch rounding the boot of Italy into the Aegean Sea for a quick trip to Pireaus, Greece, and to near- by Athens...the cultural center of the world. Our time was limited here but mostof the ship's company who so desired were able to go on a full-day tour of the city. Focal point of the tour was the ancientAcropolis which concerns so much of Greek history. There we walked amid the ancient ruins and posed for count- less photographs in front of one of the greatest architectural structures of all time. . . the Parthenon. Among the many magnificent sights we en- joyed in Athens were Hadrian's Arch and the Theater of Dionysius where the first Greek play, and thus the wor1d's first theatrical production took place. Leaving the sun-drench- ed classicism of Athens we weighed anchor for the island of Rhodes. N . i yf!I'1v , K 1 , . I g i ' y I A ' 'I . lx Kp' .

Biggest attraction was the old walled city with its fortress and d-rep moat surrounding. In the modern part oftown we combed the shopping district and the comfortable restaurants facing the harbor.

We arrived at Bahrain Island in the Persian Gulf on July 1-1th...:1 date none of us will ever forget. Minutes after receiving thenews of the Baghdad coup which over- threw the pro-Western Iraqi government and that the U, S, Marines had landed in Lebanon, we were underway to the seene of this new world-crisis. By July 15th, as wc-cruised off the coast of Iraq, every drill in our ship- board organizationhadbec-n practiced four or five times andthe landing party was ready to hit the beaeh at Basra , Iraq, if we had been sent in to evacuate the British and Americans. Fortunately things blew over after a couple of days . . . but the tight spot we were in was no joking '- matter at the time. J' i. gs -X r' X I Midnight Stores At Last...Fresh Food Up all idln-rs!

The city wasn't the best liberty port we encountered but by August we weren't hard to please. In Karachi, we received a real education concerning the teeming masses of people that inhabit the lands of the Middle East. livery- where, the great contrast of wealth and poverty that is characteristic of these strugglingnations was evi- dent. The busy streets . . .the shops . . . the bazaars . . . the oxen vying with the automobile for the right of way - it was a far cry from Fifth Avenue but the compari- son was something to be valued for the rest of our lives. Those of the ship's company who took moonlit gari thorse and buggyy rides brought back a lasting memory of the city at night- with its poor sleeping in thatched huts near luxurious hotels, in door-steps, or in the very streets upon which we rode.

I I Use Burma Shave Talent Show Breaking the nightly routine on one occasion while the Witch was anchored off Bahrain was a gala talent and variety show. This event, staged on the fantail, drew an overflow crowd including several American guests of the opposite sex who cheered and applauded the local shipboard talent right along with the crew. . . mostly out of embarrassment. Under the able direction of M. C. Lonnie Country Boy Carter, the show was a smashing box- office triumph and the array of dancers, actors, rock-n-roll, hill-billy and pop music artists scored big personal hits. hw x N. 71 hd' Hello Big Boy. -A u. is A i a-. 3.4 ' w b e- 4 v N The foreman People-to-People The 1958 cruise undoubtedly witnessed the finest goodwill and ambassadorial efforts by the GREENWICH BAYinits ten years of Middle East deployment. Many childrc-n's groups, visiting newsmen and hosts of dig- nataries and officials were entertained aboard the ship in each of our ports-of-call. l-lowever, it is to the Fund we instituted forthe American Mission Hospital of Bahrain that we can point with the greatest pride. We supplemented our monetary donations by volun- tarily giving blood to replenish their blood bank. A special interest was taken in the orphans of the Mis- sion and working parties from the ship under the di- rection of Chaplain Vernon J. Ramsey completely painted and remodeled the orphanage rooms at the Hospital. Additionally, swings were erected on the children's playground and we supplied as much re- creational gear as we could muster. In this manner we believe we reached the man in the street. lf-akin I 1 f 1- - Six? ' T i 5 -23-,f -' ff 1 - if , Q ' 1 Q35 . X X Z-F V' 5,5 '., J A ', sg I gin, Z 1 fftf 'vw 2 i Lf: .

Actually the prizes really were the greatest... especially the 12-day survival kit fsoap, toothpaste, deoderant, razor-blades, ete.l. Occasionally, the jackpot blackout went up to S100. 00. . .then BINGO became a blood- letting battle . . . a tension-packed struggle that gnawed at our guts but seemed to say: 1-gr i Who'S going to win tonight? Shut up fool, we're on the air. Bite your nails and pray for 'B-11'. Sud- denly it was all over. . . some cat that didn't even need the loot had cleaned up, At least the worldly cares of Friday's 79 on zone in- spection had been forgotten completely.

Visits to Hindu temples, the beautiful Hanging Gardens and all the wondrous sights of Bombaywere enjoyed by all hands. Here we found ourselves in a shopper's para- dise and few were they who could resist the brass works, the hand-carved objects of ebony, teak and rosewood, and other works of Indian art. Here also the GREENWICH BAY staged a highly suc- cessful People To People Program en- tertaining countless guests on the for- ward boat deck.

Naples, an old friend to many of us, was a glad and welcome sight. Most of the crew went ashore to revisit old haunts of previous Med cruises and to pur- chase jewelry, cameos, gloves, Borsalino felt hats and leather goods, Within short distances from Naples were such famous tourist attractions as Capri, Sorrento, Pom- peii and Mount Vesuvius. A good many of the crew were really fortunate and got on tours to Rome lasting up to three days. The Rome visit was outstanding enough by itself, but it was made a once-in-a-lifetime experience by the papal audience the GREENWICH BAY men obtained at the Vatican with the new Pontiff. . .

The larger part of the economy of Palma is based on the tourist trade but we found the shopping and entertainment very inexpensive. The mild but invigoratingclimate and beautiful seenerv have combined to make the spot a fa- vorite haven for writers, painters, and composers of all nations who require quiet and seclusion for their P work, and for tourists the world over who want to forget - the bustle and care of the everyday world. Certainly, ll the world-weary travelers of the Green Witch will always remember Palma . . . possibly with the secret ambition to return someday to this island paradise , , , this pre- cious stone set in the silver sea. l -'J I t . it x .I CQ!'.JF..,,VfA-37.11150 '- P 'i 'f !t i.f 3 LA- -3- L 0 r..'- r I s , J, if P- L11 - elf Along ther waterfront A tree grows in Palm 1 I Three happy liberty hounds 3 Q 1 .'
