epcmlwze wma In mid-J une the Captain called all hands to quarters in order to give out some news. We knew something big was in the breeze as for two months we had been sitting in port with no news as to our next assignment. We soon found just how right we were. The SM had been picked for a five month cruise in the Mediterranean. As our departure was scheduled for June 29, we all began at once to tie up our loose ends in the States in preparation for our coming deployment. After that last visit with the girl friend, that last call home or, as in many cases, that last visit to the Purple Qnion, we felt that we were ready to go anywhere. Our personal matters taken care of, we got the ship ready for the cruise, checking out equipment and bringing supplies aboard. From our home port in Little Creek, we went to More- head City, N, C., to embark the group of Marines who would be making the cruise with us. Morehead City was our last stop before the crossing, and as we left Morehead we looked back, seeing the States for the last time in many months . . . 7 awe 27, 7700, 08' 00 5 , H 1 QQ l 1 is ,J H , if f ' I 0 P 1 K ,.. fri!-

ll I l As we looked forward to liberty after our first landing exer- il cises in the Med, the SM pulled into Genoa on July 25. ,f Genoa, leading seaport of Italy, is located in the district of 'I Liguria. Now an important trading center Genoa, birthplace of fi Christopher Columbus, once was rivaled by Venice as a commer- cial port. Due to its importance in trade, Genoa is often under- rated as a city of beauty, though it rivals many an important art center. The Via Lucoli and Via Roma, several of the best shopping streets, have shops where fine ceramics, leather goods, and ivory carvings may be bought. Desiring to meet the people of this friendly city, we natu- rally went to such places as the California Bar, the Moulin Rouge night club and the Al Tirolo Bar.
