PORTSMOUTH, ENGLAND A s Battleship IOWA pulled into Portsmouth Harbor, thousands of Portsmouth citizens lined the shores to hail welcome to the ship. Even while the ship was easing into its berth at the Royal Naval Shipyards, IOWA sailors could already tell this would be a memorable port visit. And nobody was disappointed on that count. Visits to various points of interest such as Stonehenge OR HMS WARRIOR, and to cities such as the historic city of Bath or London, were punctuated by the warm reception extended by the British people. Sailors have always been highly re- garded in this city steeped in naval history and tradition. One obvious example of that tradition was moored at the shipyards, not far from IOWA's berth. Numerous IOWA sailors interested in battleships of years ago, visited Admiral Lord Nelson'si original flagship, the HMS VICTORY. The VIC- TORY, which is permanently moored at the shipyards and undergoing extensive re- furbishing, was the same ship on which Admiral Nelson lost his life, during the Battle of Trafalgar. -
