Subject: Visit of U.S.S. TARAWA, U.S.S. DENNIS J. BUCKLEY, and U.S.S. HAWKINS to Jidda, Saudi Arabia, 16-17 January 1949. ' 1. In a letter of 24 January 1949, to the Department of State, the American Minister to Saudi Arabia has reported that the visit to Jidda on 16-17 January of the U.S.S. TARAWA, U.S.S. DENNIS J. BUCKLEY, and U.S.S. HAWKINS was an outstanding demon- stration of good will between the United States and Saudi Arabia. The American Minister attributed the success of the visit, in large part, to the skill, cooperation, and especially the friendli- ness toward the Saudi Arabians, of the officers and men of the ships concerned. Minister Childs closed his remarks by extending to all officers and men his deepest gratitude and 'well done'. 2. The Chief of Naval Operations notes with pleasure the commendatory remarks of the American Minister, Saudi Arabia, and wishes to express to you and to the officers and men of your com- mands, his appreciation for a perfomance of duty which has en- hanced friendly international relations and has reflected such cred on the Naval service. fSignedJ LOUIS DENFELD cc: CinCLantFlt CinCNELM C0mAirLant ComDesDiv 32 ComDesRon 3 it ...J Captain Howard L.

TARAWA HELPS MAKE AVIATION HISTORY 12 Navy Planes Hippety-Hop to Hawaii Adopting a trick of pony express riders who knew how to consume distance with rela- tively fast, short-range horses, the Navy has succeeded in crossing a vast over-water dis- tance with fast, short-range planes. The flight, the lirst of its kind in history, began at Moffett Field, near San Francisco, Calif., and ended at NAS, Barber's Point, Oahu, T. H. Twelve fighter and attack planes made the 2100-rnile journey in approximately 12 hours. Counterpart of the pony express horse- changing stations consisted of two aircraft carriers, U.S.S. Tamwa QCV-403 and U.S.S. Princeton. QCV 375, stationed at points one- third and two-thirds of the distance to Hawaii. Instead of changing planes, however, the fliers merely refueled their planes and resumed flight. Four F4U-4 Corsairs, four F8F Bearcats and four AD-1 Skyraiders made the three stage Journey. The operation emphasized the value of aircraft carriers as mobile air bases. Such use of carriers permits planes to use the shortest overseas route, to route their flights to avoid storm areas or to vary their l'0lllCS in relation to enemy action. Destroyers and cruisers were stationed at intervals along the course of the pony express operation planes, keeping the planes under radar observation at all times. Search and rescue planes assisted in covering the Iirst and last legs of the trip. No special equipment was carried by the planes for the long journey. Carrier let planes will be used in later demonstrations of the fast ferry operation. 29 November, 1948 Lt.

Q 512551 M325 I 1 , l w The trip to Pearl Harbor, and the first leg of our cruise was completed on 10 October 1948, when the Tarawa sliced through the incredibly blue waters as she entered Pearl Harbor, and minutes later tied up at Ford Island. . h Short as our stay was, there was time for all who desired to go ashore. On the second and third days of our stay there, sight-seeing tours were arranged by a local transport company, and many TARAVVA men took advantage of this opportunity to see the island. The bus tour began at Aiea, on the south side of the Island of Oahu, and terminated at the same spot, about eight hours and 125 curved-filled miles later, after describing a complete circle around the island. Some of the attractions of the tour were Waikiki Beach, the Pali, Diamond Head and Koko Head, most of the island's many beaches, the beautiful Mormon Temple, and the sugar cane and pineapple planta- tions. 4 There were also those who did not care for a day of sightseeing and were content to enjoy the view of the interiors of some of Honolulu's and Waikiki's best-known-if not the finest-places of business. Then there was another group, quite different from those mentioned above. These hardy souls devoted their time to learning the art of surfboarding. As many will attest, this is a pastime strictly for the professionals. On the second night of our stay there, we had the opportunity to enjoy a presentation of the hula dance, on the hangar deck, given by dancers from the Royal Hawaiian Hotel, the island's swankiest night-spot. Most people have seen a hula dance, but few realize that the hula is one of the World's most expressive dances. One often wonders what it is all about, but to those who understand it, every movement of the body means just as much as if the dancer were saying words-of joy or sadness, telling the story of a fishing trip, of a great love, or perhaps the death of a great chief. Honolulu, the metropolis and capital of the Hawaiian Islands, is situated on the lee side of Oahu. Hawaiians call the lee side the Kona side. The name of the island, Oahu, means the gathering place. Honolulu and Pearl Harbor are nearly synonomous to most mainlanders since the attack which started World War II occurred there on 7 December 1941. Pearl Harbor is just ll miles from the center of Honolulu, and since the surburbs of the city run into the outskirts of the naval establishment, it might just as well all be Honolulu. The Island of Oahu is the third largest of the Hawaiian Islands group. It is 40 miles long and 26 miles wide. The island has two mountain ranges run- ning almost parallel to its greatest length. Because of these ranges, the climate varies considerably. The windward for North, side of the Island is generally cooler and has considerable rain. The leeward side, where Pearl Harbor and Honolulu are situated, is dry and warm. This island is really the city and county of Honolulu and vice versa. Actually, however, the city and county of Honolulu ranges far afield from Oahu, having technically within its jurisdiction the Isle of Palmyra, nearly a thousand miles to the south and Pearl and Hermes Reef more than a thousand miles to the northwest. The far-reaching ocean triangle is the basis of the claim .that Honolulu is the largest city inthe world, embracing as it does some 540,000 square mi es. On the whole we found the island and its peo le . , P hospitable and charming. Our anticipation of future ports of call was tempered at saying aloha to Beauti- ful Hawaii. .,.-...,.. It was Tug-hoats similar to this which guided the Mighty Tarawa through its narrow waters and assisted her in berthing at Ford Island. -In Looking North from Pearl I larhor's Ford Island we could see the heautiful, cloud-shrouded mountains of Oahu. :visit - l f 4 l,q5, g1i.,1.4 f ,,, 1- W A srene showing the part of Pearl Harbor situated on the Mainland of Oahu, opposite Ford Island.

We arrived there on 29 October 1948. On 5 December 1948-after a stay of about five weeks- we sailed for Hong Kong. In spite of the fact that the city was overcrowded with about 500,000 Chinese refugees, and seemed very dirty when compared to our cities, it still exercised a certain charm and color not apparent in our cities. Perhaps it was merely different. At any rate, we found much that was interesting, and the many shop-lined streets were a continual lure with their stocks of bright-colored silks, cottons, leather goods, and those other items peculiar to China. Under a new U.S. customs ruling, we can import personal goods duty free. Many officers and men took advantage of this provision to do some extensive shopping, including a great deal which was done in anticipation of Christmas. A few lucky persons managed to purchase cloisonne vases, an article for which Tsingtao and North China are justly famous. Shopping in an Oriental city was vastly different from that which one might encounter in the U.S. For instance, at home if we should see an item which we like, we ask the price and if agreeable, produce the money and take possession. Not so in China. When you spot an item which you want, then if you would get a fair bargain, you can be assured of at least five minutes of polite-sometimes impolite-haggling over the price. The shopkeeper usually parts with the item for considerably less than what he originally requested. This routine borders on the necessary, since an Ameri- can sailor in a foreign country is often mistaken for Uncle Sugar himself. U. S. Naval forces in Tsingtao maintain an en- listed men's club in one of Tsingtao's prominent downtown buildings, and there one could enjoy a variety of sports Qspectator or participantj, from boxing to bending the elbow. The EM Club's dining room featured good State- side style food, and attracted many who were wary of eating in the obviously poorly-equipped and supplied civilian restaurants. Tsingtao boasted an 18-hole golf course, tennis club, well-stocked riding academies, and several ath- letic fields fboth naval and civilj which were placed at our disposal. There were any number of Chinese night-clubs. For the most part, these were ill-heated, high-priced, and the mixed drinks which they served were concoc- tions literally out of this world. However, most of the rendezvous featured bands and dancers well-versed in American popular music and dancing - and the brand of beer produced by some of Tsingtao's brew- eries wasn't half bad. So, between tours of souvenir shopping, sight-seeing, picture taking and occasional visits to a night-club, we managed to escape downright boredom. Perhaps the most obvious lesson of our visit was one on the evils of inflation. Upon our arrival there, we were advised that the Chinese Nationalist Govern- ment had stabilized currency with the issue of new gold yuan QCYQ. The official rate of exchange was 354.00 QGYQ to 151.00 QU.S.j, and the gold yuan was to be used exclusively for all purchases made on the Chinese market. The system worked rather well at the beginning, despite the fact it was a nuisance to have to go through the routine of changing money each time you went ashore. This was necessary be- cause only the foolish brought more than they in- tended to spend in one day. If you did, there was a real chance that the next time ashore, you would find it amounted to only a fraction of its original value, because by the time we sailed the exchange was 570.00 qcvp to sroo 41.1.5.5 fs V'-v f 9'?'f '1 U.

The island itself is about 10 miles long and from two to five miles broad, of rocky formation, and in Victoria Peak it attains a maximum altitude of 1,089 feet. Its area is more than 32 square miles. The name, Hong Kong, signifies place of sweet dreams, and this name is often applied to the great and modern city of Victoria as well. It has been built on the sloping sides of the island by dint of the energy and skill of the British and Chinese together. Our approach to Hong Kong was through the long, narrow entrance into Hong Kong Bay, and after gaining the harbor, a 21-gun salute was fired to the British crown colony of Hong Kong. Our first impression of Hong Kong was that of a modern metropolis, which indeed, it was. Hundreds of ships were anchored in Hong Kong Bay, and berthed to the piers, and on either side of the entrance, factory after factory could be seen, all seemingly engaged in great industry. The Tarawa anchored out in the Bay about one mile from downtown Hong Kong, and soon after arrival, two-thirds of the crew were dispatched in the ship's liberty launches for a first look at the city of Hong Kong. mewhat austere condi- After liberties under the so he resemblance of Hong Kong to tions of Tsingtao, t a modern U.S. city was particularly pleasing.

Honor- ary memberships in all British enlisted clubs were extended to our men. Hong Kong was literally a sight-seer's paradise. The mixture of many nationalities, and evidence of their re of charm to the solid, customs, lent an atmosphe modern buildings of the downtown district. A visit, not overlooked by many, was made to the top of Victoria Peak, the the city. The view from the top was one to impress the most sophisticated cosmopolite. It included the cities of Hong Kong, Kowloon, the entire reaches of Hong Kong Bay, and the many ships and sampans which thronged the harbor. The rise to the top of the sum- mit was accomplished by a ride of 15 minutes aboard a cable car whose rate of climb would put the cable cars of San Francisco's Powell Street to shame. The tracks rose so steeply on the side of the mountain that at times, they seemed to describe a 60-or at least a 45-degree angle to the mountainside. foothills of which surround It will be a long time before we will forget the many interesting and exciting things which the city of Hong Kong had to offer: and it was with a sense of remorse that the Tarawa and crew said goodbye, and continued their cruise. ,- w-Q. .,, sy-A M4 1 JV.,,,.l -..

In comparison with other cities ofthe orient, Singapore is of relatively recent origin, having been founded in 1819 by the East India Co. Prior to this date the island had been successively held by the Malays, Portuguese, and Dutch. In 1824 Great Britain bought the entire island of Singapore from the Sultan of Jahore and Singapore was incorporated into the Straits Settlements. In March of 1948 Singapore was detached from the Malay Federation and set up as the Colony of Singapore. Singapore is a modern city and most of the public buildings are quite new. However, such interesting places as the Mohammedan Mosques, Hindu and Buddhist Temples along with the Anglican Cathedral of St. Andrew combine to give Singapore a pleasing atmosphere of East meeting YVest. This is further emphasized by the contrast in costumes one sees on the street, Indian, Malayan, Chinese and European dress - all are visible at the same time. Because of the rain, more shopping than sightsee- ing was accomplished. Most everyone returned with either Siamese jewelry, alligator bags or Chinese carved ivory. Bali heads and cloth from the Netherlands East Indies were also available as were precious stones. Using trishaws, a bicycle contraption with side car, such places as the Raffles Museum, the Library and the Botanical Gardens were visited, but the most memor- able visits were those to the three YVorlds. The Great 1fVorld, The Happy 1Vorld, and The New 1iVorld. Here was the center of Singapore's night life with cabarets, cinemas, QEnglish, Chinese, Indian, etc.j, Chinese and Malayan theatres, shops and res- t2iul'Z1I1tS. It was at Singapore that the TAR.-UVA gave her first big reception as partial expression of our thanks for the generous hospitality extended to us during our too-brief visit. it s W s, Z x ' H , 1,-.

The news that we would not be Stateside for Christmas was greeted with dismay. But, by this time, the boys with all the straight dope were predicting this would be a round-the-world cruise, so while most of the ship's company felt they could not really enjoy a Christmas at sea as well as they would had they been home, they were somewhat compensated for it by this opportunity to make a world cruise-an opportunity which on the average comes something less than once in a lifetime. As Christmas drew near, we entered into the spirit and by Christmas eve, the ship looked very much like a floating Christmas tree. Practically every compart- ment boasted a Christmas tree, and the compartment without any decoration, whatever, was indeed a rarity. VF-11 copped the radio-phonograph combination awarded the division with the best decorated com- partment. The Ship's Division was the closest runner-up, with other very outstandingly decorated compartments. Someone rustled up an old Santa Claus outfit-as well as a Santa-and our Christmas was made inesti- mably brighter when he entertained us on the hangar deck preceding the movie Christmas Eve. Following Santa's debut, the entire assembly joined in the sing- ing of Christmas carols. The efforts of the men, who, under the direction of Chaplain Parker, staged and enacted a scene of the Nativity were especially appreciated. They added much to the spirit of the occasion. The climax of our celebration came with the serv- ing of a real old-fashioned Christmas dinner, with all the trimmings, including the proverbial turkey and cranberry sauce. 3 3 i wi S 6 'X 65517 ,M X u A .FF 1. - I 1 O 5 .

H. L. Xvodehouse, R.N. Commander in Chief, East India Station, aboard his flagship NORFOLK anchored in the harbor. Colombo, the capital of Ceylon, is a seaport on the southwest coastnear the mouth of the Kelani River. It is a handsome town and a portion of it, comprising most of the best houses, is within the walls of its very extensive fort, which occupies a projecting point of land and embracing a circumference of nearly one and one-fourth miles. The houses of the Europeans outside the city are beautifully situated, especially those near the sea. There are several bazaars or market places. The public buildings comprise the govern- ment offices, government house, Hall of the Supreme Court, the Valuable Museum, etc. Some of the noted buildings are an old Dutch church, Presbyterian, Angelical and Roman Catholic churches, hotels, orphan asylum, military hospital and barracks, the town hall, the railway station, the Colombo Royal College, Saint Thomas' College and Wesley College. The Moors have two handsome mosques with min- aretsg the Hindus also have their temples, rudely sculptured. Colombo boasts a big. beautifully-planned, and busy harbor, with an area of over 640 acres, making it one of the best man-made harbors in the world. Colombo is one of the most important coaling stations for British and foreign steamers on the Aus- tralian and Asiatic routes. It is connected by rail with Kandy and the north of Ceylon. The natives are mostly artisans and laborers, while the Europeans are either owners of large plantations or merchants. Ceylon was occupied in 1517 by the Portuguese and named in honor of Christopher Columbus. It was taken by the Dutch in 1656 and by the British in 1796. III 1948 Ceylon became a full-fledged dominion in the British Commonwealth. I..ifc in Colombo is scarcely representative of the true atrnosphereof the island, since the bulk of the population is Singhalese. Of Aryan-Dravidian stock, the Singlialt-se claim origin from Vijaya, who, with 700 Iollowc-rs is believed to have invaded Lanka from India about 500 BC. and married a daughter of the aboriginal Vetldas. 'llicse 'T i ' invaders called themselves Sinhalas, or Lion People, after Vijaya's father Sinhabahu fLion Army a legendary ruler in North India. A lion resembling Chinese and Burmese design is still a favorite emblem. In the fastness of the eastern jungles are remnants of the aboriginal Veddas, probably a pre-Dradidian race of great antiquity. They continue to hunt with bow and arrow, collect wild honey and grow yams. Their numbers are fast dwindling, soon to disappear as they become absorbed by Moor, Tamil, and Sin- halese trading groups. A chance to see life in the interior at first hand was afforded TARAWA men when a local transport com- pany organized a conducted sight-seeing tour to Kandy, a city seventy-two miles from Colombo, in the heart of Ceylon. The city is situated in a cup of hills at a height of 1,300 feet. It was the last capital of the Sinhalese and is still considered the cultural center of the island. It is the Sacred City, where in a picturesque, old- world Oriental building, rests the Holy Tooth Relic of the Buddha, worshipped by Buddhists all over the world. Nearby Kandy are the great Botanical Gardens at Peradeniya and the site for the new University of Ceylon. A special train met the sight-seeing party at the harbor's passenger jetty, and transported them through the verdant hills and valleys to Kandy, returning them in the late afternoon. During the recent war, American troops manned two airbases in Ceylon. The l3l0th Base Unit of the China-Burma Air Transport Corps operated one base as a way station on the route from India to Australia and the Philippines: the other was used as a shuttle point for tactical aircraft. Each had a 6,000 foot strip. Perhaps the most lasting impression of the city was gained by TARAXVA men from the abundance of precious and semi-precious SlOllCS. Of the latter group, the star sapphire was the most popular and the most publicized. Numerous purchases were made by crew members. with the star and white sapphires leading the list. At a banquet attended by several of the TAR.-XXN'A's officers, a cat's eye was displayed. which was re- putedly worth thousands. Altogether, an interesting visit. Our only other comment on the visit: too brief. . g N A Y . .-:.f,.,., ... -wr me Y 1....:,..-:Mil N---....,,.-i,e.1f-V - --- W - ,U f gg- :,,..i1 1L 42 ..i. 4,.:::: .,, -,-..M...-..

Shortly after the TARAVVA anchored off the island, boats were dispatched to the island, and upon their return, brought with them over 4,000 pounds of mail and packages-the hrst to be received on board for thirty consecutive days. The island of Bahrein is one of a group of eight islands lying on the south side of the Persian Gulf, and which are known as the Aval Islands. Bahrein, the principal island of the group, is 27 miles long and I0 miles wide. It is generally very flat and low, a mere shoal hardly 20 feet above sea level. The soil is not fertile, except in places which have been irrigated. This is accomplished with water from the island's numerous springs. These springs are also used for bathing, and the most well-known of these bathing places is the Pool of the Virgin. Small in width and length, the pool is very deep. and standing on the high diving platforms one can see the turbulence set up in the water by the bubbling force of the springs. A concrete-lined ditch leads from the pool. and runs along the side of the road for miles. .Xt intervals of perhaps 75 yards are situated houses of palm fronds which have been built over the ditch to accommodate the women bathers. who bathe fully clothed. In most places visited thus lar, we have found that most of the people have suttumbed to the ways of fhe Westerner. This is only mildly so of the liahrein- Ians. Most of them live in stritt tonlormanee to their Mohammedan religion, their only concessions being their fondness for long, shiny llritisli and .Xmerican 3Ul0mobileSQ and the fact that a great many of them have learned to speak linglish with some fluency. lhis C311 be attributed to the influence exercisetl by the lhflusands of American and British oil workers, who have come to this island to drill for, refine, and market the oil for which the area is so famous. The day after our arrival at Bahrein, an invitation was extended to the Shaikh of Bahrein to visit the TARAWA. The invitation was accepted and late in the afternoon, the Shaikh and his attendants came aboard to visit, staying until late in the evening. His Highness, the Shaikh, returned the honor by inviting officers of the TARAWA to a banquet at his winter palace. The capital and commercial center of the island is Manama, a city of about 25,000 population. Here, in the city's bazaars, one could purchase most any article desired, including fine, hand-woven Persian rugs. On the island can be seen remnants of long-decayed civilizations. There are old temples and forts-now nothing but crumbling ruins-which date back cen- turies to the time when the Portuguese controlled the island. The world's largest graveyard is reported to be situated on the island, and in some areas, large burial mounds stretch across the horizon as far as the eye can see. It was believed that the island was holy ground and the people brought their dead from the mainland, Persia, and other places, to rest in peace. Next to oil, the island's most important industry is pearl fishing. There are over 1,000 boats, each manned by from eight to sixty men, engaged in the operations off-shore. Bahrein is known far and wide for the ex- cellence of its pearls, but just how ancient is the ex- ploitation of the pearl oyster cannot be said. However, it dates hack at least to the time of Alexander the Great M23 to 356 B.C.j. Over three hundred years later Pliny declared that in this day Bahrein was famous for the vast number of pearls. r' ------- ABOVE: The Shaikh? hoat come! alongfide.

The entire trip was full of picturesque views, we never tired of contemplating the fact that we were witnessing a panorama of life on two continents- Asia and Africa-without as much as leaving the Tarawa. The trip was begun in the early morning of 20 January, and lasted until the .afternoon of the 21st, During the night of the 19th, the Tarawa had anchored in the Gulf of Suez, and shortly after raising its anchor, it left the Gulf and entered the Canal. At. the entrance to the Canal, and on our left, could be seen Suez, a large, prosperous-looking city nestled between the Canal and a range of mountains. Leaving Suez, and looking at the Egyptian side, we could see the beginning of a belt of fertile, irrigated land, which was to stretch all the way to Port Said, and which varied in width from a few hundred yards at some points to several miles at others. On the other side-the Arabian side-of the Canal, the desert stretched as far as the eye could see, with the city of Ismalia fsituated about halfwa alon th Y 3 C Canalj being the only obstruction to break the mo- notony of the view. About ten miles from the entrance to the Canal, we passed a canal ferry, with a network of roads leading up to the landing. This ferry is said to be the one used by the camel caravans and pilgrims from North Africa on their annual pilgrimages to the Holy City of Mecca. 0ne of the roads mentioned above veered off to follow the canal into Port Said. Shortly after noon of the first day, our trip came to an end, temporarily, when we reached Great Bitter Lake, and dropped anchor to wait for the morrow before continuing our journey. At 0630 on the 21st of January, our journey was resumed and at 1330, we arrived in the city of Port Said, having completed the 87-mile Qaboutp passage through the Suez Canal. Port Said, itself, may be said to be sitting on the Mediterannean entrance to the Suez Canal, since-part of it is built on both sides. The Tarawa, in leaving the canal, passed through the center of the city-and at times, it seemed almost possible to reach out and touch the hotels, restaurants, public buildings, etc., which bordered on the canal. The City of Port Said is modern and appearsto be very clean. The influence of Islamic culture is reflected in much of its architecture, and the city's Waterway-Streets add a romantic quality to its appear- ance. The history of Port Said can be said to be that of the Suez Canal and vice-versa. The dream of a canal across the Isthmus of Suez had occupied the minds of men for ages, from the time, centuries ago, when the great pharaohs of Egypt had connected the Nile with the Red Sea, but nothing came of the dream. Ships continued to sail or steam all the way around Africa in order to reach the Mediterranean from the Red Sea. Then came a French engineer, Ferdinand De Lesseps, who got the necessary rights from his friend, Said Pasha, Viceroy of Egypt, organized 3 Company in 1858, and went to work. On November 17, 1869, the ninety-mile canal was formally opened. There was an elaborate and costly ceremony at the northern terminus, Port Said, which is named for Said Pasha. Afterward a fleet of vessels of various nationalities steamed through the canal toward the city of Suez at the other end. The leading vessel, the French Imperial Yacht Aigle, carried Empress Eugenie, wife of Napoleon III. At Ismalia. the midway port, Khedive Ismail Pasha entertained some 6,000 persons in his new palace fa beautiful and Costly building no longer standingj. 0n November 20 the Fleet arrived at Sugl, The canal, the longest in the world at that time, presented little actual difficulty in its digging, except a short distance through soft stone. It really amounted in places to deepening a channel in lagoons and lakes already existent. The company found itself in finan- cial difliculty many times during the progress of the work and in 1875 the Khedive of Egypt decided to sell the large number of shares he then held. The English government stepped in and bought these shares, gaining virtual control of the company. This was one of Disraeli's boldest acts to promote his policy of imperialism. In the early days when De Lesseps was selling shares for 500 francs each, neither England, Russia, Austria nor the United States would sub- scribe to the venture. The English looked with fear on the project as they felt it would work a great hard- ship on English shipping. The undertaking, however, has justified itself, as the shares held by the British Government, for which less than 20 million dollars was paid, have already returned more than eight times this amount in interest and earnings. Normally, more than half of the ships passing through the canal are of British registry and the canal has been one of the greatest value to British shipping. The management of the canal is under the direction of a board of which the French have the largest number of members, so that the control is practically French, although the French government does not actually own any interest. The concession provides that the rights of the company are to expire in 1968 when the canal and all accessories will revert to Egypt. The vision of De Lesseps has been more than justified. The journey from London to Bombay, formerly a tedious and dangerous trip of 10,870 miles, was at once shortened to 6,307. Since 1887, ships have been permitted to steam through the canal at night as well as by day, and the average time of passage is 13 hours. Mail ships are given the right of way. The trip through the canal aboard the Tarawa was one not soon to be forgotten, and we like to remember that we were not the only ones who enjoyed it. As we passed through, Egyptians, Britains fboth civil and naval personnelj, and a few Americans, were along the way to cheer us on. Once when we passed a Dutch troop transport headed for the Far East, troops manned the rail to give the Tarawa a rousing cheer. PP I' ci?

From our anchorage we could see the mighty range of the Peloponnesian mountains in the distance. Our visit was marred only slightly by the unac- countably bad weather - overcast skies, rough water, and occasional flurries of snow and sleet - which prevailed upon our arrival and continued through the 23rd and 24th. However, if the first two days were made unpleasant by the bad weather, we were amply rewarded by the view which greeted us on the 25th, a beautiful sunny day, the shoreline, the ancient mon- uments silhouetted against the sky, and the range of glistening mountains in the background all combined to make a scene of almost indescribable beauty. l With the city of Athens as the stimuli, we brushed up on our history and learned that Athens is one of the most ancient cities in the world. It has been in- habited uninterruptedly for more than three thousand years. It is the capital of Greece, and her premier city, with a population of about one million people. It is the seat of the government the residence of the king, and the countrys educational and scientific center The city of Athens stands in the middle of the tri angular peninsula known as Attica Two of Athens very characteristic hills attracted our attention, they rose in the middle of the city and were visible from almost everywhere The one, crowned with a fortress like wall and buttresses built on bare rock and bearing on its summit various ancient monuments whose columns could be seen clearly against the sky, was the Acropolis It was the ancient fortress of Attica, its first prehistoric dwelling place, and one of the most important religious and artistic centers of Greece Here, the ancient and very The Parthenon IS a temple of the Dorlc order dedicated to Athena It was constructed of marble from Mount Pentelikon Building operations took fifteen years Q447 432 B CQ In the interior, opposite the main entrance, where there is a rectangular hole and a change of material in the pavement, stood the colossal gold and ivory statue of Athena the Virgin, by the sculptor Phidias. In one of the two great west halls was the Parthenon proper QParthenon is the equivalent of maidensl, from which the whole temple took its name. Here the maidens of Athens possibly prepared various ornaments for the colozsal statue. In the inner west hall were kept the treasures of the temple and the public monies. The other hill, Likavittos, which is the higher of the two, is partly covered by a small pine forest. At the summit one can see the little church of St. George with its tiny belfry. Another very conspicuous landmark is Mount Imittos with its long range extending to the east of Athens and famous for its honey and beautiful sunset colors. To the north of Athens and at a great distance from it, can be seen Mount Parnes, the highest mount of Attica, with its fir tree forests. In the northeast is Mount Pentelikon, known the world over for the snow-white glistening marble extracted from its quarries, which are quite visible as white scars on the mountainside. The landscape of Attica has a beauty all its own which is mainly due to the incomparable harmony of the long chain of mountains drawing their beauti- ful lines in fading shades to the far distance, to the wonderful transparency of the atmosphere, and also to the changing hues which color the landscape, especially in the sunset hours. It is no doubt these elements of simplicity and loftiness in their natural surroundings that inspired the artists of old to create that blend of simplicity and grandeur which is known as Greek art and literature. The Pelagosi and later the Ionians are the people who according to tradition are considered as the earliest inhabitants of Athens Traces of then dwell which seems to have been the11 city and fortress In our transactions ashore we used the Greek drachma which is a unit of currency and can be divided into 100 lepta At the time of our visit the ofliclal rate of exchange was 10000 Greek drachma to the U S dollar For purposes of comparison, it is -f I, f .1 1 ., . .

Istanbul, we found, consists of three distinct quarters: Istanbul Proper, Calata, and Beyoglu, separated by the Golden Horn. Istanbul Proper is the most important section of the city from both the artistic and historical point of view. It contains many examples of the later type of Ottoman architecture - gigantic, handsome mosques, flanked by tall, slim minarets-and sym- bolizes a beautiful combination of harmony and grace. This section is also considered to be more Western- ized than any other part of the city since it is here that practically all of the many modern, western-type buildings are situated. The Turkish people exhibited such a degree of good-will toward us that we felt we were guests in every sense of the word. VValking down the streets We found that almost everyone took time out to greet us, some with a bow reminiscent of Old VVorld courtesyg or perhaps it was called out to us in perfect-some times only near-perfect-English. The local transportation companies extended to all American sailors in Istanbul the privilege of riding the city's trams, busses, etc., at no cost. Not so great a privilege, perhaps, but indicative of the welcome we received from the entire populace. The city was ours. The city's many modern stores were packed with all kinds of goods-from the most modern gimmick to the rarest antique. A conservative estimate would place the number of souvenir swords purchased by TARAVVA personnel well in the hundreds, and this is only a hint of the overall purchases made. It was with sincere regret that we had to leave Istanbul. We feel qualified to say that the hospitality shown us in this city was such that it had had no equal in the 20,000 miles we had travelled since leaving San Diego. 7Q1n111u ,fxdfllfl and T1zr'1 fi,rl1 friends enjoy Ilfmfufrffff af dance given fm' 'llull Form peffonnel fx! flu' Union Francaife, I .s mn Iwi, T111-Lay. 9 0513375 A gmyp gf 'I'4r.u4 .1 Nu :bd with Turk: 1 ,dl Olfiferf in Nh' ff! ,bg fffyu' ,YJZJJYM lm ff 'E 'I f.- we ,. ff r ,.

We looked high and low for Rock Apes too, but not a one did we see. Liberty in town was Hne.

The mission of the Air Department is to provide those shipboard facilities and services required by the embarked Air Group, the ships main battery and the only reason for the existence of Aircraft Carriers, to operate efficiently at sea and in advanced areas as well as maintaining and providing operaters for the ships' shore transportation. To carry out its mission the Air Department ship- board complement is organized into three Q35 divi- sionsg V-1, V-2, V-3. For shipboard administration the Air Group is also a part of the Air Department with the designation of V-4 division. The V-l division is responsible for the spotting and handling of all aircraft, the operation of all handling equipment including aircraft elevators and the arrest- ing gear and catapults. To carry out its duties V-l is divided into three units V-il-H, V-l-AC, and V-l-F. V-l-H is responsible for all hangar deck spotting, securing, and handling including readying of the forward part of the hangar deck for movies, shows, smokers, etc. V-l-AC is the unit responsible for operating and maintaining the gear used to recover aircraft and to launch by catapult. The V-l-F unit is the unit which is responsible for handling, spotting and directing the aircraft on the flight deck, during launching, landing and respotting operations. The V-2 division is charged with the responsibility of providing the facilities necessary for the repair and maintenance of aircraft and the maintenance and repair of the ship's automotive equipment including the operation of the crash crane. In addition V-2 personnel man auxiliary power and starting units at flight quarters. ' In order to discharge its duties the V-fl division is divided into two units, V-3-O and V-3-lf. The V-3-O unit is responsible for the handling of all aviation ordnance including the arming of planes with bombs, rockets, torpedos, and machine gun arrnnurrition. The V-3-F unit is responsible for the servicing of aircraft with gasoline, alcohol, and ltilrricating oil and the maintenance and operation of the systems used in the handling of these inflanmrables. In addition to the above the Air Department is responsible for keeping the smoking lanrp otlt for Rl least three hours daily, at least one grey hair weekly for the Gunnery Officer caused by the indiscriminate use of paint spray guns in confined spaces. for ascer- taining that all personnel outside of the Air Depart- ment havc shins marked by the cahle from aircraft tiedown reels. and for the rude awakening of per- sonnel at all hours caused by the roar of engines and the Hring of catapults.

The Supply Department is charged with the re- sponsibility for the procurement, storage, issue and accounting for most of the material used on the ship. It is responsible for feeding the crew, maintaining the clothing store, the Ship's Store, soda fountains, barber shop, tailor shop and cobbler shop. One important function, last but not least is pay-day which is handled by the Disbursing Officer. For purposes of administration the Supply Depart- ment is composed of four divisions designated as S-l, S-2, S-3, and S-4. S-l handles all the general stock, spare parts for the ship as well as Aviation spares, paint, oil, etc. S-2 runs the general mess, operating the galley and the mess decks. S-3 operates the clothing, ship's stores and other ship service activities. S-4 operates the officers messes including the galley, wardroom and pantry. The Supply Officer has an assistant officer in charge of each of these divisions. The division officer not only operates the activities under this division but HHISL look after the welfare and problems of his men. It may be said that the Supply Department of a ship runs a hotel, restaurant, drug store, haberdashery, bank and stationery, hardware, paint and oil estab- lishments. A small city of 2500 people must be cared for by the Supply Department. ii. at , K . 3 I I. .1 Hi S I I i 4521. I 2 I i Z. 2 I ' i'f':'l! :i'1l3H'-+: T+: ti.

Holder of the Presidential Unit Citation, it is now known as Air Group ONE, but such has not always been the case. Tracing its family tree back through the dusty years the group has been here, there, and everywhere, and has been known by many designa- tions. Originally, the Navy gave the breath of life to this outfit as Air Group FOUR and attached it to the U.S.S. RANGER. On this illustrious ship the Group participated in the battle for North Africa and later ran strikes against the Nazis in Norway. Never one to stay put in one spot long, the Group was then shifted to the Pacific. There it participated in strikes against the Philippines, China, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. During these grim days it was attached to two famous fighting ships, the BUNKER HILL and ESSEX. Returning stateside in April 1945, the Group was reformed, had another squadron added, and eventu- ally found its way to the Atlantic Coast and aboard the new U.S.S. TARAYVA in January 1946. Once again in the Pacific the outfit was redesignated Attack Carrier Air Group ONE in January 1947, and has so remained to date. Composite Squadron TEN is composed of several special tactical UNITS UNDER the direct supervi- sion of the Air Group Commander. The squadron was formed immediately prior to departure from San Diego and consists of an Air Early YVarning Team, a Night Fighter Team, an Anti-Submarine Team, tow planes and photo planes.

Harding Fighter Squadron Eleven fThe Red Rippersl The Red Ripper Fighter Squadron, one of the pio- neering squadrons of Naval Aviation history was born in 1927. and assigned to the U.S.S. LEXINGTON for duty. The squadron received her baptisimal fire at Casablanca in Noyeniber 1942, and was later trans- ferred in july 1911, to the Pacific area where she again established an enxiable reputation in combat. Among the roosts of this srpiadron during VVorld 1Var ll were such illustrious fighting ladies as the L'.S.S.

Comdr. D. M. Hizer at Ford Island, T. H. The derivation of this squadron's famous ensignia depicted above, is as follows: The Boar's head is taken directly from the one that graces the label of the Gordon Gin bottle. The Scroll Effect under the head is a string of link sausage, a good line of bologna which all members of the squadron are to be adept at shooting. The balls on the shield might be called balls of fire, the bolt of lightning which was popular in the days of heraldry, is the bar sinisterg sign of bastardy. Any further elaboration on the ensignia or com- mentary of the squadron toast would probably re- sult in protest from the Pentagons Hayes Office: but armed with a vivid imagination and by careful scru- tiny ol' the insigne, the layman should experience little difficulty in his analysis.

Later, in the thirties this squadron designation was changed from that of fighters to bombers and the insigne gained further recognition among airman. During World VVar II this veteran navy squadron with many of the warborn squadrons saw war service in two oceans. l 1 Executive Officer, Lt. Comdr. C. A. McDougal Three years after VJ day the squadron received still another change of designation and mission-high alti- tude interceptors. Thus through many changes and a global war, the tophatter insigne has stood for versatility and excel- lences of airmanship. And today remains one of the oldest and IHOSI honored insignia in Naval Aviation. -nr H Q.
