VVhether it was just down the coast in Taranto, Italy or across several seas in Sevastopol, Ukraine, LA SALLE's port Visits afforded its, crew the opportunity to see a great Variety of countries, and were a great chance for Sailors to witness cultures and countries many people can only dream about. 1 - 4 , , w ' ' ' V rl, ' f' rf. a , ,,' 2' El ffl' in F. 5 ri I.

From the lush Wooded heights of Sintra to the 300 plus-rooms of the 18th century Palace-Convent in Mafra, there was more than enough to see and do. The capital city of Portugal held one of Europe's largest malls with an indoor theme park, several theaters and more than 300 shops.

With Naval Air Station Sigonella close by, August Bay provided not only a convenient place to pick up things like ammunition and mail but it made for excellent R and R for LA SALLE's crew. If Sailors couldn't find what they needed at Naval Air Station Sigonella's expansive Navy Exchange, recreation center or base club, there was no end to stuff to see in the ancient Sicilian cities and countryside. One of the favorite spots for Sailors was Sicily's greatest natural attraction and highest mountain, Mount Etna. To ancient Greeks, Mount Etna was the realm of Vulcan, God of Fire and the home of the one-eyed monster known as the Cyclops. While no LA SALLE Sailors ever reported one eyed monsters or fire gods, Q 0 0 p they always had a lot to say about the incredible hiking in the summer time and thrilling skiing afforded by Etnalg steep slopes during the winter. The area around Augusta Bay is also home to one of the oldest Ancient Greek cities in the world, Agrigento, situated on Sicily's southern coast in the townls Valley of the Temples, is considered by many to be one of the greatest legacies of ancient Greece. Whether taking pictures of temples dating back to the fifth century, exploring ancient botanical gardens, skiing down a mountainsides, or relaxing at the Naval Air Station, Sailors could always count on a good time when LA SALLE visited Augusta Bay.

Gnce part of the Austrian empire, Trieste became a part of Italy in 1954 and remains torn between its Slavic and Italian origins. As a port visit in September 2004, Trieste provided many opportunities for LA SALLE Sailors. Those that were a romantic at heart, or just avid shoppers, could hop on a train and head west to the many canals and merchants of Venice. Gthers could go east to experience white water rafting in Slovenia. However, the sights of Trieste itself were not to be missed. Once a city that rivaled Venice, Trieste's neo-classical architecture provided a perfect setting for strolls down the waterfront or enjoying a cappuccino at a cafe in Piazza dell'Unita d,Italia, the largest piazza in Italy. Crew members who enjoyed Trieste were in good company, as it was once home to James Joyce and a place of inspiration for Hemmingway, Freud and Rilke.

Well LA SALLE did all of it on a port visit to Tarragona, Spain in late September 2004. The ship pulled in on one of the biggest holidays of the year for Tarragona, the Festival of Santa Tecla. For days, the city was filled with feasts and fiestas. Adventurous Sailors seeking an adrenaline rush hopped the train south to Universal Studios Port Aventura and braved the tall roller coasters. Those who wanted the excitement of the big city headed north to Barcelona, where Sailors could visit the Sagrada Familia and shop on Las Ramblas during the day and dance in the Olympic Village all night.

A time to relax, slow down the fast pace of military life and think about the past year. For LA SALLE Sailors, Christmas was all this and more. While many were able to travel home, some stayed behind to keep the ship manned and ready. To the delight of many, Christmas on LA SALLE was much more that just another holiday. New friends were made during the whole Christmas season because LA SALLE held several different Christmas parties. A local Gaeta orphanage came onboard and sang carols, and received presents from Santa. While at LA SALLE's official Christmas party several Sailors were promoted to the next highest rank through the Command Advancement Program. Even the American Gaeta Community School took part in the festivities by coming to LA SALLE,s mess decks for photos with Santa and cookies and ice cream. ln the end, whether Sailors went home for Christmas or stayed on the ship, LA SALLE's last Christmas in Italy was memorable, full of holiday spirit and one few LA SALLE Sailors will easily forget.

COMRELS have the greatest satisfaction rates among Sailors because the service member is doing something that betters the lives of others, making a meaningful contribution to childrenis lives and having a positive impact on the international communities We visit.

But on September 20, 2004, LA SALLE Sailors stayed late to see some Americans show their support. Sponsored by Armed Forces Entertainment, the Kansas City Chief Cheerleaders came to LA SALLE to provide some entertainment . for the crew. The Cheerleaders danced, sang and did skits that often involved the audienceis participation. After an impressive two-hour show that included moves no one thought possible on non-skid, the ladies took the opportunity to sign autographs and take photos with the crew. .Im 1 l I . 8,2 xxf L, . 'xg I-NU. . n I A i., Friends and Family Day Cruise Ever say to your family and friends something like, MMan, I had a rough day today with Sea 81 Anchorf, Then they give you that look, Hwhat is Sea 85 Anchorw? Wouldnlt it be great to show them? Well on September 29, 2004, LA SALLE moored to the NATO Fuel pier in the morning and embarked over 200 guests to participate in a Friends and Family Day Cruise. LA SALLE, C6F and NSA Gaeta Sailors were given the opportunity to invite friends and family on board for a day- long cruise to witness first hand what it is we do here on LA SALLE. The event also promoted good will towards the community, as several local nationals were invited, including the Cappodano Society of Gaeta. The day started out with guests getting a first hand look at how we get underway. Afterwards, the ship went to Flight Quarters and HC-2, Det 37s 4Ghost Rider ', took off and did a couple of fly-bys for the onlookers. The day also included some static displays on fire fighting. The younger guests were given a PQS to complete that required them to go around the ship and complete different tasks, like drinking from a scuttle butt or hoisting a flag on the mast to get qualified as a Sailor. The day also included a steel beach I 1 5 picnic, concert by the ships rock band, a movie and an ice cream social on the mess decks. Most importantly, the day ended with a better understanding by our friends and loved ones of what we do at sea. That is important, because without the support of our friends and family, we wouldn't be able to do what we do everyday.

Long working hours, little sleep and heavy seas were pretty much a part of everyday shipboard life. lt wasn't always an up hill climb though. Between the watches, the deck work and keeping the boiler steaming, LA SALLE Sailors always found time to enjoy the little things in t life. Whether it was simply taking time to pull a practical joke on a iiii y ii A Si shipmate, making faces in a mirror or even a male Sailor dressing up as a belly dancer, LaSalle Sailors were known to stop at almost nothing to have a good laugh.
