AFS STUDENT VISIT Upon our arrival at Cannes, France, on the Riviera, we were met by Rear Admiral Townsend (Commander Carrier Division SIX), and 50 members of the American Field Service Exchange Student Program. The foreign exchange students and families were treated to a morning long cruise, which included guided tours of the ship, demonstrations of torpedo attacks, the firing of our 5 inch guns a flight of the drone helicopter (DASH) and a fire fighting exhi- bition. This cruise afforded the students and their families an opportunity to renew their friendships with Americans. The fol- lowing day Rear Admiral Toz nsend sent a special message ex- pressing his appreciation for an outstanding Best Ever pro- grom and performance by the Ault Crew.
