She wos commissioned ot Brooklyn on loJonuory l945. Soon ofter her commissioning, TACONIC wos ossigned to the U.S. Atlontic Fleet Amphibious Force. She hos served os flogship for either the Commonder Amphibious Force, Commonder Amphibious Group 2, or Commonder Amphibious Group 4, except for brief periods. She served os flogship for Commonder Fleet Air, Eostern Atlcintic ond Med- iterroneon for obout four months in the summer of l953 ot Noples, ltoly. TACONIC hos porticipoteol in mony troining exercises in the Nor- folk, Virginio, Comp Pendleton iVirginio Beoch, Vo.l ond Comp Leiune iOnslow Beoch, N.C.l oreos, ond in numerous fleet omphibious mo- neuvers in the Coribbeoin ond Gulf of Mexico oreos. ln June l949 TACONIC brought dependents of Novol personnel from the Ponomo Conol Zone to Norfolk in whot wos colled Gperotion Dioperf' ln the summer of l952 TACONIC steomed into northern woters of Boiffln Boy on Gperotion SUNFC to resupply northern boses in Greenlond. After the tour ot Noples in the summer of l953, she joined other NATG forces neor Kovollo, Greece, for operotion Weldfost. ln 1956 TACONIC ogoin returned to the Ivlediterroneon oreo, this time os flogship of the tosk force corrying the reinforced Second Bottolion Eighth lvlorine Regiment. After completing her regulor shipyord ovoilobility in Morch l957, TACONIC corried President Eisenhower's limousine ond stolf cors to Bermudo, B.W.I., where she furnisheol communicotions support for the meeting between the President ond Prime Minister Mocmilloin.

This exercise reoched its climox with the londing of Ivlorines by oir ond seo on the coost of Ponomoi. And in Moy l957 TACONIC ogoin left her home port, Norfolk, to ioin the Sixth Fleet ond contribute her services in the Ivlediterroneon Seo.

This is okay, but have you got Super Coola? Taranto was built by the Greeks in 707 B.C. It has been visited by many sailors since that time. To us, Taranto was not important primarily as a liberty port. Instead, its value lay in the fact that here TransPhibRon 6 was relieved by Trans- PhibRon 8. And when the Cambria and the other ships in company with her arrived, we turned over our responsibilities in the Mediterranean and pre- pared to head for home. There are few automobiles in Taranto, and even the main streets are relatively narrow. The LST Terrebonne Parish at her anchorage in the outer harbor.

DECK In the Deck Department men learn to be sailors, for here the traditions of the sea are a basic part of everyday life. From paint chipping to fancywork, from fueling rigs to ground tackle, from boat coxswain to helmsman the boatswain mates' specialities are as varied as is Navy life itself. The Manual offers the challenge: VVhen the wind is howling topside, you'll be there. When the green seas are coming over and something breaks loose, they'll pass the word for you. When the boat lowers away in heavy weather to take somebody off a floundered wreck or a sinking plane, you're the man who will take charge of her. In winter or summer, daylight or dark, in fair weather or foul, when the gang hits the deck-there you'll be. You won't spend much time sitting with your slippers on the radiator, but as Kipling says, 'You'll be a man, my son!
