INTRODUCTION Herein is a compact written and pictorial resume of the Mediterranean cruise of the USS OLMSTED KAPA-1881. 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.

HENQ U.S.S.OLMSTEDCAPA488J CARE OF FLEET POST OFFICE NEW YORK. 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
