Borie (DD 704) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 7 text:

This cruise book is more than a mere record of events and people. To those of us who took BORIE through overhaul, refresher training and blue-gold operations, our assignment to ASWFORLANT and the EASTLANT cruise during the summer of 1966 was the frosting on the cake . We were doing our primary job .... ASW. From the beginning we were determined not to rest on BORIE's previously earned laurels, but to write our own chapter in the history of this fine ship, a chapter that would equal or surpass any other. Our determination and our accomplishments fill this book: the hard work, long hours, and team spirit that made us a sharp unit, the lighter moments when we enjoyed a good laugh together, the special occasions when We put our best foot forward. We made many friends abroad and displayed a fine image of our NAVY overseas. I am pleased and proud to have been your Captain during this chapter. We did our jobs well - like our Squadron motto - SECOND TO NONE .
