Weill.,-Seve-feral years ago, former President Eisenhower initiated the nationwide movement known as the People-to-People program. President Kennedy endorsed this program early this year. With the enthusiastic support of Admiral Burke, the Navy and Marine Corps Joint Service Program became operational in November 1960. y This People-to-People program was designated Cperation South Atlantic Arnityl' and is designed to be carried out in small - but important - acts by the thousands of men who are part of the Solant Amity Forces. The mission of Solant Amity is primarily to present the American, and the American way of life, to the people of other nations. A This is done in several ways. For instance, helicopters air lift medical supplies as much as 50 miles inland for a missionary station. People are given a glimpse of the Americanway of life through use of the Solant Amity Fair where display boards and demonstrations are used to portray the United States, and the customs and traditions of its people. A typical visit by Solant Amity units would include: Rendering honors to visiting military and civic officials, Presentative of books, medical supplies and food, Athletic contests with local teams, such as baseball, soft- ball, golf, volleyball, soccer andjudo exhibitions, Children's parties aboard ships, and visits to private homes. The ships would hold general visiting in the afternoons, and it is efsti- matedthat over a quarter of a million Africans have visited U. S. Navy ships. Most of them saw Americans for the first time. - The Solant Amity bands have spoken the international language of music to some 400, 000 people by outdoor concerts, pierside jam sessionsvand any other occasion where their services were called for. - This was the third Solant Amity Force. 1t consisted of five ships which 10 000 Carried to the people of Africa, 32, 000 pounds of medical supplies, , - pounds of food, 10, 000 pounds of protein, 400 bibles, 40 cases of clothing and 10,000 magazines, Encyclopedias, tooth brushes, tooth paste, candy, and last but not least the warmhearted good will of the American peop e.

The USS Mattabesset QAOG-521 left Norfolk a day later- The ESS Forrest Sherman lDD-9311 and the USS Meredith CDD-8907 got underway from Newport' R' I' and Mayport, Fla. , respectively. At Morehead City N C the Donner and Suffolk County loaded the participants in the Solant Amity visit you - F Company, of.the, 6th Marine Battalion, Znd. Marine Division. Later, 5 LVTP-5's were put iboagd off Onslow Beach. The Force was now ready, lacking only the titular Commander-in-Chief. We proceeded directly to Trinidad, Rear Admiral Allan Reed embarking aboard the Donner 23 Sept. The Mattabesset, Forrest Sherman and Meredith made a short stop at Tobago, P1'OCe6di1'1g West to Abidjan, Ivory Coast. Here they visited a local orphanage, the Royal Police Academy and a banana planta- tion. The Donner andSuffolk County set forth for the Cape of Good Hope, crossed the Equator 29 September, observing traditional ceremonies, and entered the South African Naval Base, Simonstown 12 October. All hands were in dress blues for entering the harbor. The Flagship, Donner, fired a 21 gun National Salute, and a 19 gun salute to Rear Admiral Bierman, Chief of Staff of the South African Navy. They, in turn, returned gun salutes to our ships and Rear Admiral Allan Reed. A rifle I'1'1atCh WHS held between our marines and the South African Navy. The Forrest Sherman, Meredith and Mattabesset proceeded to Pointe Noire and Port Gentile, French Equatorial Africa, after leaving Abidjan, then proceeded south to Capetown. They participated in anti- submarine exercises. The Donner and Suffolk County got underway for Port Elizabeth, docking 16 October. This is a bustling industrial city that was happy to see us. We received over 11, 000 visitors and held many receptions. The ships entertained children from a local orphanage, and in return accepted invitations to various hospitals and institutions. Leaving Port Elizabeth,ZO October, we entered Capetown after four days of rough seas. The men had opportunities to see the town and countryside, especially the many views of magnificent Table Top Mountain. Ships visiting was limited to invitation only, and official functions were held to a minimum. Capetown wel- d ll h' ' come a s ip s crews with the same courtesy and hospitality shown by Port Elizabeth and Simonstown. It was with reluctance we departed Z8 October. Avoiding Japanese fishing nets, and investigating unidentified radar contacts, the ships stopped briefly at Mullet Bank.
