'Swv-'W 'f WEN LETTER FROM ffHEc.3.?mCUT1VEy 03291953 TO ALL HANDS: Here we are, at the end of all of the firsts - well not quite - here comes another! we are going on a cruise where we have one big object- ive which we assuredly should keep in mind, to enjoy our- selves, relax, flex our muscles and feel like the MANLEY, not a new destroyer. Of course this does not mean that we will lay on our fat, the ship's work goes ong we want to show the world that we keep our ship proudly! The accent, however, is relax and enjoy it. Secondary objectives are ever present in foreign travelg to educate ourselves, educate the foreign lands as to the wonderful spirit of our country and to make everyone aware that the U.S. Navy is around, is prepared, and is manned by as fine a group of people as there are in the world. Each one of you does that, by simple courtesy, tact, and by being sharp. ONE OF US MIGHT SPOIL THE SHOW FOR ALL OF US BY THE LACK OF ANY OF THESE ATTRIBUTES. we are entering the house of our hosts, we are guests. If we act the part of guests, we will be respected, our country will be respected, and we will have contributed to our stature in the world. If we act the part of fools - what conclusions can be drawn, except that we are fools. NO ONE WANTS TO FIGHT ALONGSIDE A FOOL. Again, we may not always agree with what we see, some- times we may not even like it, but remember, we asked to come here and if we don't like it, we can always return to the ship. we are much more informal than most of the people we will meet,so keep it in mind. A little formality may open many doors. Again courtesy and tact will make your journey more enjoyable. Well now - enough of this here serious purpose business ENJOY YOURSELF. 'ny fl no uve. at Q J.

The Phoenicians were probably the first outsiders to settle in the hill district now 1 known as Saint George. The strategic value of this site, combining an important harbor flanking a sea route from northwestern Europe to the Mediterranean and Africa, was quickly recognized by the early settlers. Lisbon became one of the chief towns of Lisitania, after Julius Ceasar made the place a municipality about LO B.C. Later the city in 713 A.D. was conquered and strongly fortified by the Moors. On 25 October llA7, Alfonso Henriques, the first king of Portugal, captured Lisbon from the Moors with the help of the French, English and German crusaders on their way to the Holy Land. In 1256, when King' Alfonso Ill moved his court from Coimbra to Lisbon, the city began to gain rapidly in social, political and econ- omic importance. Lisbon became the capital of Portual about lL33. It was from Lisbon that the Portuguese first set out on their great voyages throughout the world in the 15th and 16th centuries. Vasco De Gama sailed from Lisbon in lL+9'7 to open a sea route to India. From l61+0 to 1755, after the Portuguese navigators had made many discoveries and built up a lucrative trade with Brazil, Lisbon became one of the wealthiest and most magnificent cities in the world. On the morni of l November 1755 a disastrous earth- . ng J quake, followed by fire and tidal wave,upset and burned the city, submerged the quay and wrecked all shipping. It is said that in the first 15 minutes, 50,000 people lost their lives as the tremors shook the lower city into a fire-lit cloud of dust and debris, soon awash in a 50-foot tidal wave.
