.rf Often passed, occasionally visited and always appreciated, Augusta Bay Sicily has been an important military port for LA SALLE during the ship's decade of service in Italy. 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.
