A short trip to Rome with an organized tour. Our US Navy ships were docked at Taranto Italy and a 300 mile train ride got us here. Front row, third from left is yours truly (urcunina). I have not been in contact with any of these guys until recently when the third from right contacted me and sent the picture. The only other one I can name is first row, far right. The average age here is about 23. Three not in uniform are officers, and one is in uniform with the SP armband. Shore Patrol. I imagine that there were many of these tours and photographs made over the years.

Anyone remember being there? View full size.
