NG ON STATION: MIEDDAH, SAUDI IA These are our first glimpses of the Arab port city on the Red Sea as we pulled in to relieve USS YEL- LOWSTONE CAD-415 on February 20. YELLOW- STONE, deployed since August 1990, was ecstatic as we moored bow-to-bow in the Islamic city. Initially, there was excitement as we pulled into Jeddah. Our only other stop since departing Norfolk nearly a month before had been a brief Capproxi- mately 10 houisl refueling visit in Augusta Bay, Sici- ly. Uncertainty accompanied that excitement, how- ever, as the crew was given a list of appropriate behavior in the Islamic nation. Women and men are segregated in public, dress codes for women are strictly enforced, males should never look into the eyes of a Saudi woman, never sit with the soles of your feet showing, never eat with or offer your left hand, alcohol is forbidden, public executions are held frequently, and the first of these - no photogra- phy - was passed on to the crew as we happily clicked away pulling into port. This restriction was lifted towards the conclusion of our 11-week stay in Jed- dah. Operation Desert Stomi events - Feb. 20: There are 55 U.S. fatalities. ln one day-long engagement 100 kilometers above the border, U.S. artillery and tactical aircralt attack 300 vehicles in revetted posi- tions, destroying 28 tanks and 28 vehicles. No Iraqi aircraft have flown in 10 days. 14 , , 1,5 44 l
