BEHIND U5 lay many ships, stretched from one end of Norfolk harbor to the other. lfrom the mightiest carrier to the smallest sub, each one had a special job to do, and it was the special effort of every one to do that particular job perfectly. The SHTQNANDOAH, polished and cleaned for the forthcoming tour of duty in the Mediterranean was among those with a very unique task to perform. As tender for the United States SIXTH Fleet, we of the SHIENANIDO.-Xlrl knew that ours was a job of major importance. For weeks and weeks, we had been preparing for what was to prove to be a highly interesting and most fascinating Klediterranean trip. For many men this was just another cruise, but for the Illtist part, we were an eager and anxious crew who could hardly wait for Nlay 27th lu arrive. There were tons of stores, supplies, ammo, and every imaginable article to be loaded and stocked away in the vast storerooms and huge refrigerators of the SlllfX.'XXlJtl.'Xll. lX'orkiiig parties were the order of the day, and we all had our turn at hauling aboard the mountainous loads til' liiuitlsllllilir- and etpiipmeiit necessary to keep almost 800 sailors well fed and content, Une item iii particular which was especially wel- come aboard was the basic source of eujoyiueiit at our famous beach parties, which were held all over the alediterraiieaii. lfach vessel of the SIXTH lfleet serves for a period of from 4-6 months in the Mediterranean, while on detached duty from the Atlantic Fleet. They are then relieved in a Nlediterrauean port by other ships of similar types and return to Lfnitetl States l'orts for repairs and alterations. This book is a brief account of the llestroyer Tender USS SI'lIiNANDOAH'S 1952 Mediterranean Cruise. li. Captain Frederic C. Lucas, jr., was commis- sloned Ensign from the U.S. Naval Academy Class of 1930, and was assigned to the U.S.S. SARATOGA for duty. In 1932 he attended the Submarine School, New London, Conn., and upon completion was assigned to the U.S.S. BONITA in which he served for 4X1 years. After a tour of shore duty at the Postgraduate School, Annapolis, and the Naval Torpedo Sta- tion, Newport, he served as Executive Officer of the U.S.S. SKIPJACK, and in 1940 took command of U.S.S. R-2. In 1941 he was assigned to the Staff, Com- mander Submarines, Atlantic Fleet and in 1943 to command U.S.S. BILLFISH. He later was transferred to command of U.S.S. CAIMAN md then to a second tour on the Staff, Com- mander Submarines, Atlantic Fleet. From 1946 to 1948 he was on shore duty at the Naval Base, Bremerton, VVash., after which he took command of the U.S.S. CRAFFIAS. From 1949 until 1952 he was on duty in the Bureau of Naval Personnel. He took command of the SHIENANDOAH in Athens, Greece, on 29 lulv 1952. Captain Lucas was appointed to the rank of Captain effective 1 july 1949. 3 X I Blk ' Hin '.

LUCAS, JR. 1 I 1 O 4 ! 1 1 1 4 6 Commander REDMAYNE was born in XV est- wood, Massachusetts, shortly before the end of World War I, in the house where his father still lives. After graduation from the local grade school, he attended and graduated from Dedham High School QWestwood was at that time too small to have a high schoolj. The year following high school was spent working on a dairy farm in Westwood as a general farm handg feeling that there must be a more pleasant way to earn a liv- ing, Commander REDMAYNE decided to try the life of a sailor in the Merchant Marine, therefore, he attended and graduated from the Massachu- setts Nautical School as a marine engineer. This training made it possible to sail as fr. Third Ass't Engineer with the American XVest African Line running up and down the coast of lVest Africag after a year he became employed by the A. H. Bull Steamship Company as Third Ass't Engineer in a passenger-cargo ship on the New York-San juan run. The following year he de- cided to try the life of a naval officer. He was called to active duty in April, 1941, as an ensign. December 7, 1941, found him in Pearl Harbor aboard a converted four piper as Chief Engineer, a job that he held until November 1944. During most of his tour of duty on the Hulburt, she served in the Aleutians. From the Hulburt he went to the heavy cruiser INDIANAPOLIS and was Chief Engineer of this ship when she was sunk midway between Guam and the Philippines MESSAGE FROM THE EXEC I must admit that when I received orders to the SI-IENANDOAH and heard that she was going to sea for a few months, I was somewhat apprehensive. You see, I had never served aboard a tender before and had always figured that they never got underway, furthermore, I did not expect to find any sailormen aboard a tender. Well, I was wrong, yes, really wrong! You SHENANDOAH 'men have proved to me again and again that a tender can get under- way, go to sea, and that you are fine sailormen. You men have earned this ship an enviable reputationg largely because of your efforts she 'won the coveted DESLANT While in the Med your hard work and wonderful spirit have helped our ship become known as one of the best tenders the SIXTH FLEET has ever had. Your conduct both ashore and aboard has been exemplary. My hat's off to you! It's indeed an honor to be your shipmate. RICHARD B. REDMAYNE in late july 1945. XVhen released from the hos- pital. Commander REDMAYNE was sent to the Boston Naval Shipyard for his first shore dutyg during this period he transferred to the regular navy as a lieutenant commander. In April 1947 he went aboard the U.S.S. LEYTE QCV-325 where he served as Chief Engineer until july 1949. The fall of 1949 found him starting college as a freshman at the University of Utah, a married man the married Col. V. S. BURTON'S daughter in Hilo in 19421, and the father of four children-three boys and one girl. In june of 1951 Commander REDMAYNE graduated with honors from the University of Utah and was given a Bachelor of Science degree in naval science. College life was followed by attendance at the CO-XO ASXV course at Key XYest which helped prepare him to reactivate the U.S.S. STURTEVANT QDE-2391 as Com- manding Ofiicer. XX'hile in this billet he was pro- moted to commander which made him eligible for transfer, BuPers, noticing this fact in May 1952, sent him orders to report to the SHENANDOAH as her Executive Officer, the position he currently holds.

The city is situatecl on the northern shore of the Bay of Naples, with a population of approximately 1,050,000.

ALL ANCIENT writers agree in representing Naples as a Greek settlement. The earliest Greek settlement in the neighborhood was at lschia, but the Colonists being driven out of the island by the frequent earthquakes. settled on the mainland at Gumae, where they found a natural acropolis of great strategic value. From Ciumae they founded Pozzuoli and subsequently Porthenope, where Naples now stands. A splendid natural acropolis, formed by the hill of llizzofalcone, and a massive wall, parts of which are still standing, may be traced at the back of the existing houses. The streets of Naples, narrow and winding, offer a multitude of shops and small eateries. The street peddlers are all around the city showing their wares from stands or boxes carried in their arms.

Those French bathing suits were somewhat alarm- ing at first but soon we were in the spirit, too, and enjoyed the warm Mediterranean sun as we watched the scenery , along the beach. Cannes proved to be one of the finest ports we visited during our stay . . . Here there was almost everything, night life, good food, wonder- ful beaches and the finest hotels in the world. We went on tours to Monte Carlo and visited the world famous Riviera wonderland. For some there were the parties at Fort Carre and for others the cool shade of an open restaurant afforded views of the passers-by.

NVE FOUND Switzerland a illlwy-Y mi-ilern and beautiful country but one of many contrasts. From large modern cities like lieueva we traveled to Lucerne with its Middle Ages atmosphere blending with the cosinopolitaii hotels and shops. Each mountain rise brought forth a new view ui green covered hills and small villages clinging to the sides of the valleys. In Geneva we visited the buildings of the United Nations and walked through the grounds on which modern history has been made. Almost everyone spoke English, in fact many people there speak three or more languages: usually French, German and Spanish. Geneva is the center of the Swiss watch making industry and we purchased many bargains in fine watches and clocks there. -w . p-Q-'A W ww-.-,,,-4 United Nations Buildings in Geneva A sunny street in Geneva Underneath the arches.

VVe left Cannes by bus and motored through the green French countryside to the sea- port of Marseille where we caught trains for Paris. Promenading down the Champ-Elysees we walked under the shadow of the towering Arc de Triomphe and strolled on further to the limpid Seine river. On the other side of the Seine we soon discovered the Left Bank and Montmarte with its artists' colonies and small out door restau- rants. Vile sampled fine French wines alongside of famous, and not so famous, artists and writers. The Latin Quarter with its own unique atmos- phere and its university traditions, is one of the last surviving districts of an older Paris and many of its narrow streets and alleys have retained an old-world charm. , C ll On the Rue De La Paix.

ONE OF THE not-so-cultural but very interest- ing sights of Paris is the world famous Follies Bergere with its lavish stage settings and colors that almost blind the eye. The Follies proved to us that those 40 million Frenchmen were not wrong at all. We soon grew accustomed to being handed a French menu but some of the results were alarm- ing. However, with the help of the waiters, we were able to enjoy the excellent French cooking and pastry dishes. Paris by the daytime is lively but at night it glows and pulsates with a life of its own. The tiny French taxis dart in and out of traffic making escapes only by inches and the cafes and gardens are soon full of gay Parisians . . . the night life has just begun.

' .Na I THE CITY of Athens originally built on the Plateau of the sacred rock of the Acropolis, was inhabited long before the 16th century HC. Athens is named after the Goddess Athena. mythical protectress of the city. The seaport, Piraeus, was of major importance to Athens early in the history of that city. Forti- fied walls connected the city and the seaport, which was completed in 445 HC. The Athenian Fleet was based here. The climate of Athens has always received high praise. XV ith skies of unusual blue, the mountains in the background stand out vividly against the beautiful sunset. At sunset all of Athens is swept with violet and rosy hues. There are over one million persons here now, due to the post-war swelling. The port has been expanded under U. S. and British leadership and offered a fine visiting spot for the SHENAN- DOAH during her stay. -., 45 w-Aa . i Y The mighty Parthenon.

XYQ anchored in Phaleron Bay and bounced through the bumpy streets by truck to Athens on liberty. NYe visited the Parthenon, called the world's most perfect building, and admired its beauty still undinuned by the ravages of time and man. It was a held day for the snap shooters with the clear blue sky and blazing sun. The king's palace and the Par- thenon inade good backgrounds for shots to send home. The Roof of the Parthenon was blown off by a gunpowder explosion. .,,:AJ I J-P-lf - F . .Ll 'E-H 'il' ,, folks, Irrn in Athens.

The SHENANDOAH was the first destroyer tender ever to visit the city of canals and mystery. We had some tight squeezes getting up the tortuous and shallow Grand Canal. Then, Liberty Call , we found some of the best liberty ever had in the lVled.U Gay and pulsating nightspots reached only by Gondola along the dark and narrow canals, a ride through the canals of Venice by Gondola propelled by a gondolier dressed in ancient costume, all of these were packed into our liberties. Venice's beautiful and majestic palaces, faded and mellowed by nature and years of splendor drifted past our Gondolas.

In the morning mists on 2 October we steamed up the wide Tagus River into the crowded harbor and the long quays where the units of the Sixth Fleet were moored. Taxi cabs proved to be very cheap and plentiful and were our major means of transportation about the city. Lisb0n's colorful mosaic sidewalks looked strange until the eye became accustomed to the twisting designs and patterns. We purchased the line products of Portugal for souvenirs: Cork products, silver embrossed ice buckets, Madeira embroidery and delicate chinaware. Becalmed by the hot summer breezes the crew of a Portuguese vessel labor over their oars as they tow their craft loaded with barrels of oil towards the quay. These small sailing ships of ancient design are widely used in Portugal and often travel great distances.

LISBON IS A CITY that has often been beset by disasters in its past. In 1755 an earthquake, followed by tire and tidal waves devastated the city, however the Portuguese soon rebuilt their fine capital. Portugal has attempted to maintain a policy of neutrality which kept the country in- tact during World VVar II. The city is still con- sidered one of intrigue and mystery. One of the national dishes is filet-de-sole which is prepared with many different sauces which we found delicious. Two special bullfights were put on for the fleet and the matadors were at their best for the occasion. Lisbon's beauty and vibrant life made our visit one we would long remember.

Our special thanks go to Davidson PH3 and Baggett PHAN of our photo lab whose many liberty hours were spent taking and developing pictures for this book, Hoeier, YNSN for his assistance as typist, and to VVotring MMC for his pictures and preliminary planning. Chaplain Farr, our advisor, through his guidance and cooperation has helped us to successfully portray the main points and highlights of our cruise. Solving the financial problems of our book and ironing out organizational dif- ficulties were only part of the duties of the Recreation Committee.
