Yarnell sailors off to visit Buenos Aires Sailors tour La Boca section of B.A. Yarnell Weapons officers inspect old Krupp-built cannon at Puerto Belgrano. ARGENTINA Argentina is the land of Gauchos and the pampas, but we knew it as the land of the steaks. In fact, we dined on Argentine beef for the rest of the cruise. Puerto Belgrano is Argentina's principle naval base and is located about 300 miles from Buenos Aires, It was there that we first entered Argentina, A fortunate few were able to visit Buenos Aires, the largest city in South America, known as the Paris of the Westem Hemig. phere . After operations with the Argentine navy, we entered the Southern Argentine port of Comodoro Rivadavia for our second port visit. What can we say about beautiful Commodore-by-the-sea, the next jet-set rendezvous? Oops who forgot to fasten down the hose

Masters of the English Narrows: Capt. Bowen, Chilean Pilot, LTJG,'s LaMarche, Both, and Blanchard. MAGELLAN STRAITS and CHILEAN WATERWAY I Following our departure from Comodoro Rivadavia the Unitas ships steamed through the Straits of Magellan following the route the Spanish explorer had taken 400 years earlier. On the island of Tierre Del Fuego the natural fires of burning gas were plainly visible. After transiting the Straits the four ships made the long-awaited turn to the north and headed up the Chilean coast via the inland waterway. The striking scenery included tower- ing mountains with snow, glaciers, and even penguins, The tortuous English Narrows were the highlight of the trip. Our own special navigation teams and two Chilean navy pilots made the difficult trip easy. Off the coast below majestic Mt. Corcovado the Chilean Navy oiler Araucano provided us with fuel for the remainder of our journey to Peru. :SMMANDING oFF1cER, ussffjfay yD,Q,U'ELL AT Hin of 432 E one Q mac W' in cc, 1 792 Lnrrung IJ!
