When DD-710 anchored briefly at Port Suez in September 1965, bumboat vendors came alongside and sold lots of souvenirs to Gearing sailors. Here, in officers' country, Ens. Ron Wolfe is aboard his camel saddle mounted on Ens. Don Provost. Just after we returned to the Med. in November and went alongside what might have been USS Forrestal for fuel and reprovisioning, almost all topside sailors, including Captain Martin on the bridge wing, wore their Arab head dress, making the Gearing look like it had been hijacked. |
