PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND We took NEW BROOM II and BLACKJACK in stride but after sixteen days at sea and Special Sea Detail we wanted land — not any particular spot — just land, and the wonderful support it gives. We were detached at Gibraltar and that any place proved to be Portsmouth, England — jumping-off city to London. We gaped at NELSON ' S ship H.M.S. VICTORY, visited British Frigates and Destroyers, had tea and toast with English Sigh- lors and saw They Never Wear Less at the theater in town. Bomb damage struck our eyes in many places and we wondered what it was like here then. We took a two day tour to London and saw everything — Buckingham Palace, St. Paul ' s, Westminister Abbey, Windsor Castle, Tower of London — the works. Of course Picadilly Circus had its own quaint little attractions. Newport was now but a memory. Our appetites were wet, our feet were dry. We wanted more of this. H. M. S.
