KENNEDY had existed only in the pocketbooks of congress and the mind ' s eye of its designers until the 22nd of October 1964 when the keel for hull number 577 was laid. For nearly three years the men and women of the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company labored on this continually growing steel labyrinth. Then on 27 May 1967 Caroline Bouvier Kennedy, daughter of the late President, christened hull 577 USS JOHN F. KENNEDY with then President Lyndon B. Johnson, the Kennedy family and 30,000 spectators watching, CVA-67 was afloat. Many months of labor yet remained however, for it would still be over a year before KENNEDY would become a fully commissioned vessel in the United States Navy. The history of KENNEDY ' S crew began officially on 12 December 1967 in the office of the Commander Naval Air Force Atlantic, VADM Charles T. Booth, at NAS Norfolk. KENNEDY ' S prospective Commanding Officer, Captain Earl P. Yates, and a contingent of about 25 officers and men soon to be assigned to KENNEDY attended the official ceremony. Then on 27 December the first enlisted man reported aboard for duty. The USS JOHN F. KENNEDY was commissioned as an active ship in the United States Navy on 7 September 1968 at Newport News, Virginia in ceremonies that included a eulogy for the late President by Robert McNamara, Secretary of Defense, and a speech by Senator Edward Kennedy. The following day, 8 September, KENNEDY was host to shipyard workers and their families and open in the afternoon to the general public. That day more than 50,000 people visited this new ship. They toured the decks and viewed static displays in the hanger bay. October 21, 1968 was KENNEDY ' S first operational day at sea. It was an exhilarating experience for the crew, and a near endless list of firsts was accomplished. Following extensive preparations, KENNEDY got underway on 2 November and headed south for Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and six weeks of intensive underway training. Carrier Air Wing One was aboard for the first time and the perfect match was complete, CVA-67 and CVW-1. KENNEDY ' first foreign port of call was to Montego Bay, Jamaica on 16-17 November. Crewmen found a warm and open welcome when the ship returned to Montego Bay on 28-31 November, and the pace had been set to establish KENNEDY ' S warmth and friendliness as a tradition. KENNEDY successfully completed Type Training and upon returning home moored at Pier 8, Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company for a Post-Shakedown Availability. 1969 began with KENNEDY still in Post-Shakedown Availability in Newport News. The tempo soon quickened, however, as the ship participated in Air Wing carrier qualification operations off of the Virginia Capes during both February and March. Then in April 1969 KENNEDY, with Carrier Air Wing One embarked, commenced its first deployment to the Mediterrean with the Sixth Fleet Air Wing One, as initially embarked in KENNEDY, consisted of: VF-14 flying 12 F-4Bs VF-32 12 F-4B ' s VA-81 14 A-4C ' s VA-83 14 A-4C ' S VA-95 14 A-4C ' S RVAH-14 5 RA-5C ' S VAH-10 3 KA-3B ' s VAW-121 4 E-IB ' S VAQ-33 3 EA-1E ' s HC-2 3 UH-2A ' s -••■s ••age Av ' .irj ' SB? ' KENNEDY celebrated New Year ' s Day 1970 in port at Pier 12 Norfolk, Virginia. But not one to rest too long in any one spot, the ship was underway on 19 January to conduct fleet carrier qualifications for the air wing off of the Virginia Capes. Adverse weather conditions could have easily sent others home, but while operating with wind chill factors of minus 40 degrees F, KENNEDY completed the CARQUALS and returned to Pier 12. The ship entered Norfolk Naval Shipyard for a Restricted Availability on 29 January. During the RAV, the decision was made to drydock KENNEDY in order to replace two bad screws. The ship departed the shipyard on 23 May and immediately commenced Post Repair Trials off of the Virginia Capes. 1970 brought major changes to the make-up of CVW-1 as the air wing replaced several squadrons. VA-34, flying A-6A ' s and A-6B ' s, along with VA-46 and VA-72 both flying A-7B ' s, relieved the three A-4 squadrons. VAQ-131 relieved both VAH-10 and VAQ-33 with their KA-3 and EKA-3 ' s, and finally, VAW-125 came aboard bringing with them E-2B ' s. The chance to put in an appearance in the hometown of the ship ' s namesake came when, on 2 August, USS JOHN F. KENNEDY entered Boston Harbor, Boston, Massachu- setts. The ship was host to members of the Kennedy family, the Governor of Massachusetts and other dignitaries, along with over 75,000 visitors during the brief stay in Boston Harbor. On 14 September, while underway from Norfolk enroute to the Caribbean and an Operational Readiness Inspection, KENNEDY received emergency orders to transit to the Mediterranean in response to a Middle East crisis. The carrier operated in a contingency role while in the Eastern Mediterranean and for outstanding service during this major deployment the ship received the Meritorious Unit Commendation. Additionally, KENNEDY was to be awarded the Atlantic Fleet ' s attack carrier Battle Efficiency Award for the period of January 1970 to June 1971, the first of many Battle ' E ' s this great ship was to receive. While at anchor in Soudha Bay, Crete, on 18 December, KENNEDY was host to personnel from seven other ships, along with dependents and other civilian guests, all who were aboard to view the Bob Hope Christmas show. Then on 24 December KENNEDY inaugurated the Navy Sponsored Dependents ' s Charter Flight Program when 323 dependents came out to spend Christmas in Athens and 424 men returned home for a holiday reunion. KENNEDY welcomed in 1971 from anchorage in Athens, Greece and was to watch 1971 leave while in Barcelona, Spain. The year in between would prove to be a very trying, yet rewarding year for all. Broken by some very intense periods of at sea activity, the ship spent January 1971 in Greece, Malta, and Barcelona, Spain. Then KENNEDY out-chopped from Rota on the 18th of February and moored at Pier 12 on 1 March. After a well-deserved, yet, as always, too brief rest, the ship conducted two periods of extremely heavy flight operations during April. Then in May KENNEDY participated in Exercise Exotic Dancer IV. On 22 May KENNEDY entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for a two month Restricted Availability. It was on 30 July that the ship actually received that first, most coveted Battle ' E ' , along with the Weapons Black W, AIMD Black ' E ' and the Communications Green C On her way to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba on 10 August, and most certainly hoping to see Gtmo come over the horizon rather than the Rock of Gibraltar as had been the case the year before, KENNEDY was host to C NR-2. This marked the first time that a reserve air wing had trained on an Atlantic Fleet carrier. Following the training evaluation in Guantanamo Bay, KENNEDY returned to Norfolk and Pier 12, pausing along the way to conduct two days of flight operations off of the Jacksonville, Florida coast. On the 21st day of August the ship was host to nearly 6,000 visitors during a Dependent ' s Day cruise which gave our guests and dependents the opportunity to observe the ship and air wing team in action. October and November brought a constant chain of events to keep everyone busy as the ship prepared to deploy. Besides the normally heavy schedule of flight operations for a carrier, there was a change of command ceremony; both Naval Surface and Naval Air Reviews for Naval War College guests and foreign dignitaries who were aboard; a three day endurance exercise; and the opportunity for Air Wing One to attack and sink the former USS ROBERTS. On 1 December KENNEDY was underway for the Mediterranean and her third major deployment. Turnover was conducted on the 9th at Rota, Spain with the USS AMERICA. KENNEDY entered the Mediterranean Sea on the 10th of December little knowing how long it would really be before she was to return home. Christmas found the ship in Naples, Italy and New Year ' s Eve was spent just outside the harbor at Barcelona, Spain. New Year ' s Day 1972 dawned with KENNEDY still at rest outside Barcelona, Spain. That rest, however, was soon over as the ship got underway to complete major fuel and weapons UNREP ' s prior to anchoring in Naples on the 14th of January. The Naples visit was to be a very brief three days as the ship was underway again to participate in more exercises. February began with NATO exercise National Week XII, then closed with the ship at anchor at Athens, Greece where some engineering repair work was conducted prior to departing on 9 March. March, April and May passed quickly with highly active at sea periods spaced by port visits to Greek, French and Spanish ports. On 21 May while underway from Cannes to Barcelona, KENNEDY conducted an offload to USS MILWAUKEE as part of preparations for returning to Norfolk. But, only three days later, on the 24th, the UNREP was conducted again. This time, however, we were receiving everything back from the MILWAUKEE. USS SARATOGA, scheduled to relieve KENNEDY, had been ordered to Vietnam due to an increase in activity in the war. Then in June USS AMERICA, next in line to relieve us, was diverted to the Southeast Asia theater to relieve the USS CONSTELLATION. This was to keep the CONSTELLATION ' S deployment from extending beyond ten months. So KENNEDY bit down, reached back and kept on keeping on. June and July went by filled with LOADEX ' s and National Week XIII. The end of July brought a two week stay in Palma de Mallorca for a Mini-RAV period. In September KENNEDY outchopped from the Med to participate in NATO exercise Strong Express after having been relieved by USS FORRESTAL. During the exercise a British F-4K Phantom II and a Buccaneer S MK-2B from HMS Ark Royal landed on KENNEDY and an F-4B Phantom II and an A-6 Intruder from KENNEDY landed on Ark Royal. The following day six British planes flew to KENNEDY and six KENNEDY planes landed on the Ark Royal. The cross-decking operation was significant in that it opened the door to increased efficiency in combat conditions and strategic concepts. KENNEDY returned at long last to Pier 12 on 6 October after having been gone for over 10 months. Then on 2 November she entered the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for an eight week RAV. 1973 was to prove to be another challenging year for the men on board KENNEDY. It began with the completion of the Restricted Availability which had started in November. Included In the shipyard work package was the installation of the EA-6B modification. The completion of the RAV was immediately followed by an INSURV inspection. The Operational Readiness Exercise conducted in February brought to KENNEDY the highest mark yet given to a CV-type ship in damage control. During the month of April, the new walk-in Ship ' s Store was opened, providing a large selection of luxury and necessity items for the crew. KENNEDY ' S orders to deploy to the Western Pacific In March had been rescinded and on 16 April the ship was underway from Pier 12. On 25 April, at Rota, Spain, KENNEDY relieved USS INTREPID (CVS-II) and joined the Sixth Fleet for the commencement of her fourth Mediterranean cruise. This deployment brought KENNEDY back to many ports that were now beginning to become familiar to the newest of the American carriers. Barcelona and Palma de Mallorca, Spain, both well loved Spanish ports by Sixth Fleet sailors, and Formia, Gaeta and Livorno, Italy, rarely visited by the large CV ' s. While In Cannes, France KENNEDY lost her 301 ton starboard anchor along with 180 fathoms of chain In 44 fathoms of water. On the 8th of June, with the assistance of the USS OPPORTUNE (ARS-41) we recovered the anchor. During the evolution the Special Sea and Anchor detail was set for 22i 2 hours. On 24 September KENNEDY became the first carrier to pass the CINCLANTFLT Propulsion Examining Board on its first attempt. Having been relieved on 22 September by USS ROOSEVELT (CVA-42) KENNEDY transited the English Channel and joined NATO forces to participate In Swift Move. On 10 October KENNEDY made here first visit to Edinburgh, Scotland. During the brief stay, the crew enjoyed the gracious hospitality of the Scottish people and celebrated the Navy ' s 198th birthday with special general visiting fes tivities. No stranger to the Middle East situation or to operational extensions, KENNEDY was none the less momentarily disheartened when on 25 October she was ordered to rejoin with units of the Sixth Fleet and proceed to the Eastern Med, but, as they had done in the past, the ship and her crew reached down Inside for that little bit extra. KENNEDY was to remain at sea for 50 consecutive days during her ' second Med cruise of this deployment before returning to Pier 12 on 1 December. Upon returning from the Mediterranean and standing down during December, KENNEDY began making final preparations for her very first major overhaul to commence on 1 March. In between upkeep periods during January and February the ship also made trips out to the Virginia Capes OP area to conduct fleet carrier qualification. 1 March found KENNEDY at berth 42-43 Norfolk Naval Shipyard, Portsmouth, Virginia for the beginning of a nine month major overhaul. The really big jobs were started even before arriving in the shipyard. Before KENNEDY was moored at NNSY she made a stop enroute to have her number one aircraft elevator removed by NNSY ' s hammerhead crane. Changes to the elevator was only one of the areas that would be effected by the changes brought on in preparing KENNEDY to receive the Navy ' s newest fighter, the F-14 Tomcat and the Navy ' s newest anti-submarine warfare platform, the S-3A Viking. The imminent arrival of these two aircraft was to cause many areas of the ship to receive a new look. The Tactical Support Center, whose purpose would be to support the new S-3A and the SH-3 helo was designed as a modul in-, and post- flight planning, support and analysis. The Satellite Read-Out Equipment that was installed was the first system of its kind to be permanently installed on any carrier. The Versatile Avionics Shop Test facility was added to hangar bay one and the flight deck jet blast deflectors were modified to accommodate both the F-14 and the S-3A. In October, VADM Michaelis, COMNAVAIRLANT presented KENNEDY with her third consecutive Battle ' E ' , along with Departmental Awards and the Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Award. The end of October brought the winding down of many yard jobs and ship began to prepare to get underway once more. On 26 November the ship left the shipyard and Portsmouth to moor at Pier 12. Then on 1 December 1974 CVA-67 was redesignated CV-67, a near totally new combat system ready to be tested by refresher training in Guantanamo Bay. - rf- r -i. ' L Having just completed a nine month overhaul, KENNEDY spent the first six months of 1975 preparing for a seven month deployment to the f lediterranean Sea. Refresher training periods were used to hone those skills which had gone unused during the yard period, but would be essential while deployed. During this time the call of This is a drill, this is a drill became a familiar sound to everyone on board. The training was invaluable since the majority of the crew was inexperienced as a result of a large personnel turnover during the overhaul. On 22 February while operating off of Jacksonville, Florida, KENNEDY recovered the S-21 Viking making the first carrier landing of a fleet-assigned S-3A. March held Type Training 1 and 2 in store and April brought participation in Exercise Agate Punch, a major amphibious exercise conducted off North Carolina. During this exercise KENNEDY put her new designation as a CV to the test as she operated continuously for 253 hours in an air, surface and sub-surface threat environment. In order to remove any remaining question as to her readiness, KENNEDY completed TYT 4 training in fvlay and received an overall grade of excellent on her ORE. She then fully participated in Exercise Solid Shield, a joint Army. Navy, Air Force and f arine Corp exercise similar to Agate Punch. KENNEDY ' S fifth Mediterranean deployment com- menced on 28 June as she departed Pier 12. The highlight of the Atlantic transit came when two Soviet TU-95 Bear D aircraft overflew the ship. The Bears were detected by AW-125 ' s E-2C and intercepted and escorted by A-7 ' s until they departed the area. Tragedy struck at 2159 local time on 22 November when the USS BELKNAP (CG-26) collided with KENNEDY during night flight operations When General Quarters was finally secured, KENNEDY men found that they had lost one of their shipmates to smoke inhalation - the BELKNAP was to count six lives lost from among her crew! Although KENNEDY spent both Christmas and New Year ' s in Barcelona, there wasn ' t an opportunity to let up, for the two holidays were broken by a three day at sea period. While on her transit home KENNEDY was again visited by a flight of two Soviet TU-95 Bear reconnaissance aircraft. Our E-2C ' s maintained contact while our F-14 ' s flew the intercept and escort missions this time. Upon arrival at Pier 12, KENNEDY began preliminary work for the approaching yard period. On 19 February KENNEDY transited the Elizabeth River to Pier 5 Norfolk Naval Shipyard for a three month Ship ' s Restricted Availability. During the SRA, KENNEDY was the first carrier to receive the Interim Tactical Flag Command Center and the Compartmented Mode Processing System equipment. The completion of the shipyard availability brought refresher training once more, and during Type Training 1 KENNEDY steamed in company with HMS ARK ROYAL. Then as the end of July neared KENNEDY conducted TYT 2 in the Roosevelt Roads OP area. Prior to TYT 3 and the final exam - the Operational Readiness Examination, KENNEDY ' S crew spent five days of liberty in Mayport and Jacksonville, Florida. On 28 and 29 July the CINCLANTFLT Propulsion Examining Board (PEB) conducted an Operational Propulsion Plant Examination (OPPE) as the ship departed Mayport for TYT 3. KENNEDY ' S success marked the first time in over two years that an aircraft carrier had passed all phases of an OPPE. Additionally, the ship marked its 100,000th aircraft recovery on 12 August. On 2 September KENNEDY was underway for a North Atlantic deployment to participate in Exercises Joint Effort, Teamwork ' 76 and Bonded Item. Throughout the NATO exercises Soviet interest was substantial. TU-95 Bear aircraft reconnoitered the KENNEDY and other task force units on five different occasions. On September 14, an F-14A was lost over the side during flight operations in 315 fathoms of water. The aircraft ' s crew ejected safely. The subsequent deep water recovery lasted for weeks under hazardous weather conditions and the aircraft ' s remains were returned to Norfolk. Later, on that same night of Sept. 14, at 2336 local time KENNEDY and the USS BORDELON (DD-881) collided while conducting refueling operations. Six members of BORDELON ' s crew were injured, two of them were evacuated to KENNEDY for emergency treatment. Upon returning to Pier 12 on 10 November, KENNEDY closed out the remainder of the year effecting repairs and making preparations for the upcoming Mediterranean deployment. with the Australian aircraft carrier HMS MELBORNE: a missle shoot on the Salto Di Quirra range and PHIBLEX 7-77. Turnover finally came in July as the USS SARATOGA relieved us on the 21st and KENNEDY outchopped the Med headed for home - Pier 12 Norfolk, Virginia. After a month long leave and upkeep period in August, KENNEDY brought family and friends aboard for a Dependent ' s Day cruise during the opening days of September; then on 6 September she made the brief trip up the Elizabeth River to the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for a three month Ship ' s Restricted Availability. On 1 and 7 December. USS JOHN F. KENNEDY received official notification that we had received the COMNAVAIRLANT Battle Efficiency Award for 1976-77 and the Golden Anchor Award. These awards designated KENNEDY the best carrier in the Atlantic Fleet for operational excellence and crew retention, respectively. 1977 then closed with KENNEDY moored at Pier 12 eager to face 1978 striving to attain yet higher standard of excellence and possibly her fifth Battle E ' ! The 1977 Mediterranean deployment began on 15 January. Eleven days later KENNEDY relieved USS NIMITZ (CVN-68) in Rota. Spain. The high pitched tempo of the deployment was set almost immediately by KENNEDY ' S participation in Exercise Locked Gate ' 77. Exercise National Week XXII in March provided the outstanding opportunity to train and gain experience in the total war-at-sea scenario, as USS JOHN F. KENNEDY and USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT and their respective task groups faced each other as opponents. On 28 March USS JOHN F. KENNEDY became the first American aircraft carrier to visit Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia, and on 2 May she became the first U.S. carrier to visit Alexandria, Egypt in over 30 years. Between these two unique port calls, KENNEDY participated in Exercise Shahbaz ' 77, a joint NATO-CENTO exercise conducted to develop coordination between the two organizations. Even the normal late deployment slow down didn ' t really ease the tempo by much. May brought on Exercise Dawn Patrol, and June followed with a PASSEX CAPT EARL P.

The men of IM-4, dedicated, tough, and reliable, deliver first time, every time; a necessary requisite for admission to the highly professional IM-4 club. A spirited and handpicked unit, the U.S. Marine Corps contingent aboard KENNEDY is primarily charged with all facets of overall ship ' s security ... a task that could, if necessary, include repelling boarders; maintenance of a correctional facility which has been adjudged the best in the Atlantic Fleet and serves as a model for afloat correctional facilities throughout the Navy; of weapons security; and supplying orderlies for the embarked Admiral, Commanding Officer, and Executive Officer. Also employed as Honor Guard units during formal ceremonies both on board and ashore, the 69-member detachment — outfitted with various weapons carried on board — can debark the ship as a self-sufficient landing force equal to a reinforced platoon.

Happy Thanksgiving! NATO DEPENDENT ' S CRUISE I DEPENDENT ' S CHARTER FLIGHT fJi ' lji %■ i : - -. ' -i P?5 The deployment had wound down to the halfway point, and the airport at the swinging, exciting resort city of Palma, Spain was the meeting point for hundreds of excited Navymen, their wives and in some cases, their parents — as KENNEDY conducted a mid-cruise deployment standown. And even as the inbound aircraft deposited excited dependents on the Spanish soil, a waiting aircraft warmed up to carry an equally excited group of KENNEDY- MEN to the U. S. for two weeks of . . . reuniting. Palma was a wonderful and well - deserved respite, as is the U. S. in the Fall . . . Winter . . . Summer . . . THE FAMILY OF MARY ORPHANAGE Until USS JOHN F. KENNEDY came to town for Christmas, tine family of Mary Orphanage was an orphanage in need of a friend. Now It has 5000 friends. KENNEDY ' S Marine Detachment spearheaded Its annual toys for tots campaign and through their diligent effort and the generosity of the crew were able to provide a virtual toy store of gifts for a multitude of smiling faces. This, however, is only a small part of the story. A handful of dedicated young Kennedy men spent nearly all of their free time and using funds provided by the ship ' s welfare and recreation committee and a great deal of resourcefulness they constructed a roof to cover an outside play area for the children to use in inclement weather. And because of bad weather about 6 to 8 guys spent several days and nights at the orphanage. They not only were able to complete construction, but then went on to build a very badly needed swing set and slide, and make many repairs of a smaller nature throughout the building. All the effort culminated when, on the epiphany, 6 January, a dedication ceremony and a party brought everyone together to celebrate in the joyous act of giving and receiving.

' Ill  l- i ' « ' « ' ' ' ' 1?; ?ir 1t ' tli Wi Naples, like many other ancient Italian cities, is a city full of contrasts. Fleet landing sits both at the head of Naples ' modern Trans-Atlantic dock and at the foot of the Castle Nuovo built in 1282 for Charles I of Anjou. Castle Nuovo ' s severe and primitive shape is itself a contrast to the Hohenstanfen ' s Castle del Oro which is nearby. Naples ' history is marked by centuries of struggle as the entire southern peninsula and Sicily passed from the Romans, Byzantines, Lombards. Muslims, Normans, Spanish and the French before unifying v ith northern Italy in 1860. This varied background makes her National Museum one of the most important European ar- cheological museums. The street vendors in Naples are always friendly, talkative and eager to barter. A truly Italian experience. ■■t ' - POMPEII TRIESTE sr . 1 ! m m -D i m ■ n f 7 : — - m 1 I Nestled in the upper reaches of the Adriatic Sea, Trieste dates back to Roman times. With the Adriatic at her doorstep and the Carnic Alps In her backyard, Trieste was the chief port of the Austrian Empire until 1918 when she was awarded to Italy at the close of World War I. Trieste ' s relics include a 2nd century Roman theater and an Augustan Arch. A 17th century castle and the Cathedral of St. Just on their Hillside Esplanade and the expansive Piazza Unita by the sea, are equally impressive sites to see. Trieste is an extremely popular holiday spot for tourists from Europe. Her rock lined beaches are especially sought after by sun bathers who do not seek sandy beaches. Trieste - an excitingly different Adriatic town will be warmly remembered by all. Hill l AjLi i-itjSlA ,ti.

I IV) :Mi X ; ■ - - - - ' S ALEXANDRIA EGYPT Founded in 33 1 B.C. by Alexander the Great, Alexandria has been a unique experience for sailors for over two thousand years. The Pharos Lighthouse, one of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World stood at the eastern tip of Pharos Island. On its site now stands the Mameluke Fort of Qait Bay built in the 15th century. Although during its Roman Period it was the seat of government, Alexandria soon lost prominence to Constantinople as a capital and central sea port. It was in Alexandria that we encountered the most active street venders in the Mediterranean and to miss an afternoon or evening of bartering with these gents, or for that matter to miss a trip to the pyramids or a camel ride, is to miss a truly unique Mediterranean experience.

' •-i - ' jr: TARANTO Taranto, another Italian city with an ancient heritage, is today mainly a fine 19th century city. Its position is magnificent. It occupies a peninsula on one side of a lovely bay overlooking a narrow entrance into a large landlocked bay called r lare Piccola (Small Sea). The Mare Grande is Taranto ' s even finer deepwater anchorage in the bay created by stretching breakwaters from offshore islands so as to leave only three entrances. Taranto retains little from the past except the 14th century Church of San Domenico. and the Aragonese castle dated 1480. An important Italian naval base, as she was in World Wars I and II, Taranto is also the site of large iron and steelworks. Even Taranto ' s few street venders reflected the cities peaceful, seren e, southern Italian atmosphere. 1 - • - J 4 . ■« :, litii it ' 1 t m CllL -j r PALMA DE MALLORCA Not just a city, Palma is an experience. Always! No one ever leaves disappointed. Captured in 1229 by King Jamie, she soon became a permanent part of Spain. Yet, you ' ll find tourists from around the world here. It ' s a vacation mecca. Lovely, in a Word. Of particular attraction are the beaches, sports, shopping and excursions. Very often, with so much to do, the traveler leaves needing a rest. Even with so much to do, however, the island still maintains it ' s tranquil aura. You ' ll find Palma very high on any Sixth Fleet sailor ' s list of ports.

This year we were afforded the opportunity to experience this great Spanish City during one of its more quiet periods. The Ramblas can be fascinating no matter the time of year. Whether its trees are in full bloom and its walk crowded with tourists, or with barren trees and empty walks, you can stroll its length, take a rest on a bench, or visit with one of the many vendors. Museums abound, art, architecture and sculpture are everywhere and Barcelona ' s Zoo is famous throughout Europe and the world. Bullfights, dog races, discos and night clubs open up the opportunity to experience something other than twenty-four hour flight ops.

Its historic buildings belong to the centuries following the conquest. Nearly all of them stand in the old central nucleus, and can be seen in the course of a short walk. Valencia was a walled town until 1865, a fact recalled today by the circular tram route that follows the streets where the walls formerly stood. Today Valencia is a thriving industrial city and major Spanish seaport. The absence of spring time does not however remove all of Valencia ' s beauty for the beauty of Valencian women is world renown and the avid girl watcher can certainly enjoy himself here. Yet another thing of beauty made only in Valencia are the equally world famous lladro ceramics.

It is a bustling, commercial-residential-tourist area. Founded by the seafaring Phoenicians in 100 B.C., it was later occupied by the Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Visigoths and Moors. The Moors conquered all of Spain except for a small enclave in the North in 71 1 A.D. Their conquest lasted for more than 700 years. The city is filled with orange trees, flower markets, fishing boats and narrow streets. A medieval portion of the city has been maintained and there are plenty of hotels, parks, restaurants and sidewalk cafes. Nearby Torremolinos is a popular area for sailors of the Sixth Fleet and itself has much to offer. S? - 309 w ■ i gaj|i|bjy| Esmf ' =.. 1 M =iis « = ia .
