Could be, not sure.  Just to clarify, my comment above was not about 
*those* kind of girls...  LOL.  The local girls don't get to see Sailors 
often, and came out to the ship in droves, for tours and then out on the 
town for the night.  Forgot to mention before, this was something called 
the "Portland Rose Festival", which I guess is a pretty big deal in 
those parts, at least back then.  It was quite common for a couple of 
Navy ships to come to that event every year.  Really something every 
crew hoped for (their ship to be selected to visit) each year.  It was a 
LONG way up the rivers from the sea to get there, took like 14 hours or 
something and quite stressful regarding safe navigation.  One of the 
best port visits I ever had, worldwide.
