To the casual observer, the SAMPSON may appear to be just another hazeegrey metal object, endlessly afloat. But to the SAMPSON3 sailors, their families and friends it was the beast that took them away in lvlarirh and the beauty that brought them back in 'iepteinhers And all the while they were gone, it was home. The officers .ind crew lent not only their labors to the ship, but as time worn on, the ship began to take on their personalities, spirit and commitment to duty. The families .init friends of the SAIVIPSON were a constant source of joy in their letters and news from home they sent us. Without them, the SAMPSON could not have turned in the tremendous performance that has come to be expected of her. r e . E- , rt 1. w 1 r- if A . ,. s .

For more than 25 years, the Sixth Fleet has helped to protect the Southern Region of NATO and promote peace and stability in the Med. Altogether, about 45 ships, 200 aircraft and 23,000 officers and men make up the Sixth Fleet. The Fleet's flagship is the USS ALBANY QCG-105, homeported on Gaeta, Italy. The basic missions of the Sixth Fleet have remained the same since it was established in 1948 and the years that followed. They are, To protect the U.S. citizens, shipping and interests in the Med, To deter agressions against Western Europe by maintaining striking forces capable of utilizing conven- tional and nuclear weapons, and be prepared to con- duct such operations should deterrence fail, To promote peace and stability by its readiness and availability for deployments to troubled spots.

The next few pages will give you some idea of SAMPSON's. Lisbon, Portugal was the SAMP- SON's first port visit on this cruise. She lNCHOPed there, preparing to enter the Med. For the crew it was 'their first chance to walk on solid ground in almost two weeksg the time it had taken to transit the Atlan- tic Ocean. Like most European cities, Lisbon is full of history. It is a very old port city, with most of its merchants and businesses located near the water. Some of the best seafood is also found here, prepared in a variety of delicious ways. There are numerous monuments through- out the city in honor of people who are well-known through history Cnext pageb, and many wall murals Cbelowj depicting Portugal's heroes and epics. Lisbon ranked as one of the better ports among the crew. ,- J , I ' I! B' Q,- Av fs' g, r I. , i IO., ,. U i fill' .r,,,,.,...-.....,,,,. ai: . C 'Q 5.

She spent four days there before departing with the rest of the task force to participate in the Dawn Patrol exercise with other NATO forces. There were many other ships in Toulon with the SAMPSON from the task group, as well as a large squadron of French ships. But de- spite the large number of sailors in town, there was plenty to do and see. The port city of Neice was a short bus ride away down the coast and long stretches of beach to walk and see. And in spite of the high prices, many crewmen took in some of the famous French cuisine. tu:-,M rr-Qfgs, . V- 4 4-7 , -xv I- '-'1,,:. ,..L... 1. - g ' K.:-a-. , 41,5 f .. A f -CBI . mi., .,,Qe, .

The SAMPSON was in Djibouti on the Fourth of July. :intl it was celebrated in grandiose style. All the pennants were strung along the ship and the holiday Ensigns flew. A raffle was held from the ship's store with the profits going to tim Welfare and Recreation Committee. The crew ate lots of watermelon Cabovej, as the winners, like Vic Wright mt rightj received their prizes. Among the prizes were ri Polar oid One-Step camera, a stereo cassette deck with f,pe,ikfrrf,, a bar set, a ship's plaqueflighterfhelt huakle, and :i portqililri radio 81 110 pocket camera. And somewhere helwr-ten Zfri and 25 Cases of beer was hauled out to the pit-r for tilt- refreshment of the entire crew, along with nurrmrnuf, Wnlrir melons. Not a single beer got warm on the hot day, de- spite the extreme heat C120 degreesj. The beer helped quench every- one's thirst, but the more they drank, the more they wanted! J OSN Sammon got most of the day's events on vid- eotape, but his camera work seemed to reflect the heat and beer as the tape went on. And aithough it is not positive, it appears that the XO and Mr. Barerre are discussing the sea- worthiness of that dump- ster QABOVEJ.

There is an Administrative Support Unit stationed there that provided most of the relax- ation and entertainment for the crew. They had an Enlisted club, a pool and a small exchange to offer, all of which were greatly appreciated. Here, the SAMPSON received most of the parts and supplies they needed for the extension via Military Air Cargo flights. She also picked up quite a few new crewmen Cleftb.

THE GRE T SUEZ CANA WHALE BCDAT A D GIG RACES K 1' At the half-way point through the canal the convoy dropped anchor and lowered their gigs and motor whale boats for a little friendly race between the three ships. Unfortunately, SAMPSON's boats didn't fair as well as had been expected, but it made the time pass quicker for a very anxious crew waiting to get home. .1114 V N.

It was the last one before heading home. The anxiety that had been building up was close to a boil by the time the SAMPSON tied up in Rota. Rota is located just outside the Mediterranean, past the Rock of Gi- bralter on Spain's southern coast. The U.S. Navy has had a Naval sta- tion in Rota for a long time. It is a large base, offering all the benefits of a Stateside base such as a good- sized exchange, EM, CPO, and Offi- cers' clubs and so on. v Q-H-K-MGQPNQDQ b Q ,M ..

But none of it seemed as long as the night before we pulled into Mayport. Few sleptg most sat on the decks and looked toward the horizon where our home lay. While we waited, they waited. The wives and kids, family and friends all anxious for the SAM to show her colors over the horizon. As the band played and the offi- cials watched, the USS SAMPSON rounded the turn and headed for her berth where she belonged. o Q 'f ' M U'f'? T':5 il2ZJir?.
