Summer of 1958 - prior to July 20 Anchored in the Grand Canal at St. Mark's Square, Venice, Italy Photograph provided by CDR Robert L. Robinson, SC USN (ret.) CDR Robinson was the very first Supply Officer on board the ship. The ship departed Little Creek, VA approximately 8 May and arrived in the Med around 24 May. The Ship was delayed a day to deliver a sick sailor to the Army Hospital in the Azores. This was one of the summers that had uprisings in Lebanon, Iraq and Jordan. The British sent troops into Jordan; the US sent troops into Lebanon. The Iraqi people murdered their king and prime minister laying the groundwork for Saddam Hussein's dictatorship. The Ship spent 72 days in Souda Bay supporting the NATO airstrip that served as a way-station for aircraft from Naples to Beirut in support of the Marines.
