ISTANBUL We anchored- aft of FORRESTAL and DES MOINES in the Bosporus with the city of Istanbul in sight. Here, history was at our feet. Mosque of Suleiman the Magnificent was very beautiful and had large stained glass windows. The Walls were covered with colorful tile work, and it must have been very expensive to build with the beautiful works it contained. ' At Blue Mosque we had to wear shoe covers to protect the carpets. Picture-taking was prohibited but several of the fellows took some pictures anyhow. St. Sophia, which is the oldest Mosque in Istanbul, Was at one time- used as a church by Christians. Originally built of Wood, it burned and was rebuilt three times. Our guide informed us that St. Sophia was the second largest church in the world, second only to St. Peter's in Rome. Next, we passed by the Grand Bazaar. Just about anything could be purchased here, from fruit to furniture. Everything was laid out in the open market. Many fine works in brass and precious met- als could be seen. Upon arrival in Istanbul, the Captain had informed us that the U. S. Air Force non-coms were making available to the Navy two of their clubs. Some won- derful hours Were spent in these clubs, in fact, they were over-populate-d by the men in blue. The visit was worthwhile, and very interesting. I came away with a better understanding of the people and their way of life. Now having a diierent outlook on life, one can appreciate the many needs of our friends in the middle east. William M.
