Manta i4i.4r.3'hQ ,inf Geography: Egypt with a population of 42 million, is located in the northeastern corner of the African continent and is one of the oldest countries in the world. It is bounded on the north by the Mediterranean Sea, and on the west by Libya, on the south by the Sudan, and on the east by the Red Sea, the Gulf of Suez, and the State of Israel. lt is slightly larger than California, Nevada and Arizona combined, but less than four percent of the land is inhabited, cultivated land, the rest is desert. Egypt is an almost rainless block of desert, consisting mainly of high plains and some rugged hills and mountains in the east along the valley of the Nile River. The country's existence depends almost exclusively on the Nile River, which rises in Ethiopia and Uganda and flows northward through the Sudan into Egypt, where it stretches almost 550 miles from Aswan to Cairo. if ,,4,?.V.. ,Wah ,gfpziwyeq , 177. 1 ' f . ,.

On 14 February we visited Alexandria, Egypt, 'The Pearl of the Mediterranean, when we anchored outside the harbor with NIMITZ and USS SOUTH CAROLINA. Alexandria is a city of four million people. It is the largest seaport on the African continent and the third largest in the Mediterranean. Water taxis and ship's boats were used to shuttle the crew between fleet landing and the ship. By now, most of you have received post cards or letters describing the tours, the sights, and the dust. All were im- pressive. Many of us enjoyed invitations to the homes of members of the local American com- munity. Finding desirable souvenirs was very easy in Alexandria. The merchants had set up their stands directly across the street from fleet landing. It was a mini bazaar. Purchasing the items for a reasonable price was a different story. Bargaining for a brass plate or kaftan could be a lengthy process depending on pa- tience, how badly we wanted the item and how much we were willing to pay. The true test of our bargaining ability came when we returned to the ship and found out how much our shipmates had paid for a similar item. We weighed anchor and led NIMITZ and SOCAR back to sea on 18 February for more readiness training. We finally parted company with NIMITZ on 23 February. About every three months all U.S. Navy ships participate in a maintenance availability in which we stand down for a week or two and get equipment fixed. Either a shore activity or a tender is assigned to provide dedicated assis- tance. We were assigned an availability out- board of USS PUGET SOUND in, just our luck, Alexandria, Egypt. This time we went into the harbor on 24 February where the SOUND was pierside and we were the third combatant out- board. This was the first time fires were secured in both boilers in 67 days. We were all Al- exandria veterans so the other crews sought our 1 t'il ' T ' f'-Q .Q W ...r -T-4--.anti-5.
