We learned that the duration of our extension was one month and that our next port of call was Toulon, France. Toulon is not a city noted for beauty or art. It is the principal French Naval Port of the Mediterranean. Its saving grace was that it was within striking range of the well-known riviera cities of Cannes and Nice. All who could, made a trip to these garden spots. Facilities on the base at Toulon gave the athletes on TELFAIR a chance to flex their muscles. There was a certain amount of fraternization between French and American Sailors. In general, however, the weary fighting men were simply biding time until we were westbound. To our surprise, we entered the harbor at Palma for the second time in six weeks. I think there were many surprised acquaintances on the beach who could not be- lieve that we had fulfilled our good-bye promises to return someday. Several of the TELFAIR tigers elected to remain onboard ship during this visit. After a week in Palma, we made for Rota, Spain with renewed vigor, site of our turnover with PHIBRON 6. An overnight stay there, the excitement of seeing our relief, the USS SANDOVAL appear on the horizon, and we were finally and irrevocably homebound. The passage home was without incident although the weather got a little out of hand on occasion. The barren mud flats of the Carolina coast heralded our return to the USA. We off-loaded the marine contingent in record time and turned North for Norfolk, our home port. It was a cold wet day as we entered the Hampton Roads Channel but as we came alongside the pier the weather broke slightly and the married personnel were lining the rails to catch a glimpse of their wives and children. As the brow went over many of us reflected on the experience and knowledge gained over the past 6 months, and came to the conclusion that we had enriched our outlook by being a member of Med 3-65.
