It was with the great intimacy and sadness of a death at sea so very far from home, that the officers and men of the Olmsted realized the loss of a shipmate. It is with pride and sorrow that we dedicate this page of our Cruise Book to the memory of Chief Phillips and offer it in profoundest sympathy to the family of a fine man and friend who served his country so long and well. .,,., 1 ...Q -we-4 E19 l iran i M' Q., pam, 'il-,419 'Q-n W ann J LXQMY l5Ii3i.f't.R'i'iJlEltilT LlBRARY THE CRUISE BOOK OF THE USS OLNISTED IAPA-1881 JANUARY 1953 THROUGH MAY 1953 COMMANDING OFFICER: EXECUTIVE OFFICER: Captain Henry Williams, Jr. Commander John O.

Its appeal is directed to interested families and friends as well as to the men she carried. Without such a lasting momento this now prominent period in our lives will someday fade into a hazy remembrance of long dissolved friendships and incidents of the long ago. To the majority, who succeeded in finding this a satisfying and useful cruise, this book will immediately become a highly prized possession. To the very few, who through disproportionate emphasis of personal grievances have been disappointed in the voyage, appreciation will be gained through the mellow- ing influence of time. Let us hope that through its pages we may in a sense relive the memorable hours spent aboard the Mighty O. May it enhance the memory of the visit of a proud ship, of a peaceful nation to friendly foreign ports. r 5 X I ' 1 1 4 V 1 u - i . , Q , 5 CO ING CFFICEP.

NEW YORK FROM: COMMANDING OFFICER TO: ALL HANDS SUBJ: OLM TED MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE Old sailors know that with the passing of years memories of ships and cruises grow dimmer. Heat, discomfort, and the long, monotonous watches are forgotten and only the high spots remain: liberty ports, friendships, scenery, operations, faces and ships. The happy custom of gathering these high spots into a cruise book helps us to remember the best of what we have liked of ships and places. Olmsted has just completed its longest tour of duty since recommissioning in February 1952. It was a long and eventful cruise full of long hours and heavy work but balanced by the many sights and adventures of foreign ports. This cruise book is designed to be a record of some of those adventures. You can all be proud of O1msted's duty and record with the Sixth Fleet. To all hands, Navy and Marine, who helped to make our cruise ' ' ' il NEI! successful, I wish to extend my congrat ions on a b WELL DO . S Q lime . Y W1 IAMS JR CAPTAIN, USN :xr-Jcurrvz omonn.

Guided by the skipper's policies, Navy doctrine and customs, the Executive Officer publishes the Plan of the Day, orders and memoranda, mindful of the ship's purpose and locale of operations. The l88's white collar workers are the yeomen and personnel men in the Captains Office and the Ship's Office. The former has handled in the past year, over 7,500 pieces of incoming and outgoing mail consisting of directives, publications and reports. The latter's responsibility lies in the completeness and accuracy of the records of over 390 men aboard, liberty lists, special requests chits, boat schedules, leave papers and the Plan of the Day. The handling of paperwork that the Navy is notorious for is a never ending, but a very necessary task aboard ship. Another important part of the Exec Dept is the Combat Cargo Officer. Each APA and AKA of the amphibious forces normally has in its regular complement a Marine Officer assigned duty as ship transport quartermaster. He is detailed to duty directly under the Exec Officer and is responsible for the coordination with embarking troop units and appropriate heads of departments for plans for the embarkation and debark- ation of troops and their cargo. WWE FOQCL C Another function of the Exec Dept is the enforcement of discipline and order as promulgated by the Captain and the Exec Officer. The means by which this is accom plrshed is' the Master At Arms Force or Ship's Police. Distasteful as their job may be fVls: holding reveillei without them the crew would suffer from the Confusion inherent nAC1HlylOrge group of men confined to a limited area.

This colorful city,and the port of Mers-el-Kebir, with its story-book history of sultans and pirates, is the chief city of western Algeria. A strange mixture of European and Arab dress greets the eye of sightseers here, for the city's population -of approxi- mately 300,000 is divided roughly into 60fX': French, 20M Arab, and 2045 Spanish and Italian. The New City boasts modern shops, hotels, night clubs, and restaurants, but in the older Kasbah area, unchanged through the centuries, veiled Arab women still carry their wares upon their heads through the steep narrow streets. Swarms of per- sistent beggar-boys are the plague of sailors on liberty in Oran, who beat a hasty retreat to the canopied sidewalk cafes of the Grand Hotel d'Oran or the American Bar. Bargaining with the shop keepers was another pastime acquired by sailors in Oran. Leather goods, jewelry, perfume, and hand-woven rugs and tapestries were commodities offered by vendors and shop keepers everywhere. Side tours to the French Foreign Legion outpost at Sidi-Bel-Abbes and to the Arab town of Tlemcen were popular. Sailors returned to Olmsted laden with photographs, post cards, tamies, wallets and billfolds, rugs and pleasant memories of their liberty in Oran. u .f-'X Kf- NS in C - 2' 5, 4 , ff ,, 1. v 'HJ ,. il is Q -2-W 4 -ae. ,111 f 'xii .N ,gn a -iiinri iw b 5-E 5:25-:9.

Augusta is a small bustling fishing village whose streets are filled 'with dark-skinned Sicilians in gaily colored mule-carts and 'street vendors shouting, Hey, Joe! , in order to attract the sailors' attention to their wares of music boxes, silk and lace tablecloths and souvenir iewelry. Syracuse, with its ancient Greek and Roman ruins, is a tourists' paradise. Camera shutters snapped in the direction of the Greek Theatre, the Cat- acombs of St. Giovanni, the Ear of Dionysius and the Roman Amphitheatre which was once the scene of many Christian massacres. Taormina, a resort town nestled at the foot of maiestic snow-capped Mt. Etna, was equally colorful with its plush hotels and historic churches. Olmsteders will long remember the time they spent on liberty in Sunny Sicily. w.. Wag! 2 , I Q Ei na if 9.1. Q gf, A if Q ,x .ifnf ,J i 'P-. .

E I fflfflf XXX fy , , ff I U' f RSEILLE , Marseille, France's largest seaport on the Mediterranean, was considered by many members of the crew to be one of the best liberty ports visited by Olmsted on her cruise. This colorful city offered many things to do and many things to see. The Place Castellane with its fountain and statues, the picturesque Old Port which was the only port in Marseille for twenty-five centuries, Fort St. Jean, a 'l5th century square tower, the Longchamps Palace, now a museum of art and natural history, the Chateau d'lf, an ancient fortress prison which is the scene of the imprisonment of Alexandre Dumas' Count of Monte Cristo, the public market on the Prado with its local color, and Le Canebiere, the Broadway of Marseille of which the French are very proud. One of the biggest draw- ing cards was the five-day tour to Paris, the gay capital of France, where Olmsteders saw internationally famous sights such as the Arc de Triumphe, the Eiffel Tower, Le Louvre and many others. All hands agree that Marseille will not be easily forgotten in the days to come. 1' 'qi ,Y 'B' HH .f W4 U2Wz 'H mm '53 card' TRUMP PARIS . FRAN E fff sf 'll ii fi I 'a sj f. .1 L I, IDF. Q2 . at P -A i E . ,.,., , Many unusual experiences happened to Olmsteders during their stay in the Med, but BMC James E. Henderson had one which tops them all, While he was on beach guard duty in Marseille, a French painter asked him to carry the above portrait of President and Mrs. Dwight D. Eisenhower back to the United States and present it QS a gift to the White House. Chief Henderson accepted, Captain Williams arranged an interview with the President's Naval Aide, and the story, concerning a gift from on admirer in France, ended happily. 1 I ,W itll l ll if . if ll,ll,lll J'-l I ini '11 1 ' V: '5 ' Z .6 1 5 iv B0 E , ALE Many things will be remembered of Olmsted's stay in Bone, the largst seaport in eastern Algeria. Tours to the ancient Roman city of Hippone and to the Basilica of St. Augustin were popular. Bone itself was surprisingly modern. The European town lay to the west of the native quarter, behind the beautiful tree-lined Cours Jerome Bretagna, and was laid out in a geometrical pattern with straight and wide streets. The principal buildings, including the Town Hall, Law Courts, Cathedral, and Theatre, all were centered in or near the Cours Jerome Bretagna which was continued northward by the Boulevard Narbonne to the garden suburbs of Beause Jour, Menadia and Frais Vallon and the seaside resort of St. Cloud-les-Plages. French culinary art was at its best in the many good restaurants and cafes such as the National, Le Petit Mousse, Le Taverne Alsaciene, and the Grand Hotel et d'Orient with its plush dining room and breezy sidewalk cafe. gnmaw.,,,,..--.--.

Platoons of sailors and Marines from Trans- port Division 24 marched in review through the crowd-lined streets of Greece's capitol past King Paul of Greece during the spectacular military parade held in celebration of Greek Independence Day on March 25th. Liberty in Athens was varied and enioyable. An abundance of theatres, shops of all types, good restaurants and friendly people made liberty call a sell-out. On tour, Olmsteders recalled their ancient history lessons as they visited famous points of interest such as the Acropolis, the Parthenon, the Arch of Hadrian, the Temple of Wingless Victory, the Theatre of Dionysus, the Temple of Jupiter and many others. All of these colorful and eventful days, combined with a growing awareness of the beauty of this metropolis, meant that leaving Athens was hard to do for most Olmsteders. 1 2 f xl ,L , ,iv Q, iw N x M Q .

Liberty consisted of strolling through the streets, pausing occasionally to bargain with a Greek merchant who offered high quality lace and linen goods for sale such as gloves, blouses and table sets. Or sitting at a sidewalk cafe with a peaceful beer in front of you, surrounded by the restful atmosphere of Cyprus, while the world, in spite of the fact that it was sunny spring everywhere else, seem to exist in a brown tranquil autumn. If you took one of the tours, you would have seen sights like the old Castle, traditional scene of the story of Othello used by Shakespeare, or museums, abbeys and monasteries, or ruins of ancient Venetian villages. And the people-cordial, friendly, living the unhurried lives that mirror the whole nature of this slow, almost sleeping island. There's an old saying that once you've been to Cyprus, you'll always want to return, and more than a few Olmsteders will claim that the saying is true. 1'-K ' gi 1 w l u I I I I all- -. Q?-af , w 7 f f .4-. lips-, N E F i tx I6 N' fp 0I.FE JU THE The Riviera can mean many different things to Olmsteders. To some, it means endless beaches stretching along a sunny shore with the sea foaming into white surf that washes the sand. Beach umbrellas, paddle boats, bikini bathing suits, yachts and craft of all sizes and shapes and colors, sails and fishing nets drying in the sun. Or it can be wide boulevards lined with stately resort hotels of white concrete, sophisticated and cosmopolitan. Limousines and chauffeurs, sidewalk cafes with white-coated garcons hust- ling bottles of champagne to mink coats and tuxedos, or night clubs with gay laughter and rumba music. To others, it may be a quiet park and a bench, statues, patterns of bright flowers and tall palm trees, the sound of water trickling from a fountain or of a waltz during a public concert. Rolling country side with houses, pink, white, yellow, studding hills covered with flower gardens and grape arbors. It can be a flower festival in Nice, processions of flowery floats with girls tossing roses and carnations to the crowd, blaring bands in parade. Or the International Film Festival at Cannes, foreign films from all parts of the world, film stars from many different countries. It can mean shopping for souvenirs-perfumes, silks, 400-day clocks, paintings-or touring through villages, dancing in night clubs, hearing the candy lyricism of the French language, or witnessing the indescribable warming charm of the women. The Alps looming in the distance, chateaus, swimming pools, Monte Carlo and fortunes changing hands. It means many different things to Olmsteders-gaiety, excitement or repose-but leaving the Riviera meant only regret. i 5 'si' E4'S if '1r-v 1- 3 H ...Mu 8 t, tam 1.1 c fx- 5 Q . ' 1 ik: a .

The first time, although no liberty was pulled there, passing through the strait marked the beginning of the ship's stay in the Med. But on the second occasion, before the return Atlantic crossing, Olmsteders spent five days of liberty on the British Crown Colony and in the neighboring Spanish towns. They proved to be a mecca for shoppers. British Rolls Razors, Irish linen sets, and Spanish lace products were sold by the gross. And so, laden with gifts and sou- venirs, the officers, crew and Marines aboard Olmsted bid farewell to the Roclc, and after visiting two continents and five countries, began their voyage homeward. wav e 'gf ,M-41 N, ., fx.: .- rw YE-li' 3 un Jiyjff .
