:Ul'l1O-'rl'rlCJ CD2-02323300 A cruise to the Western Pacific is a composite of feelings. It is the loneliness caused by months of separation from loved ones. lt is the tired feeling we often had from long hours of watches, plane guarding, replenishing, exercises and drills plus an occasional typhoon. It is the proud feeling we had when we steamed into ports of our friends in the Pacific, realizing we are a vital part of the mightiest fleet in history which has done so much to keep our friends free. lt is the joy of making new friends especially in the other navies with which we worked. lt is the confident feeling we had that BRIDGET can and did handle any and all assignments. It is the grateful feeling for our many material blessings which we experience anew when we observed each country we visited. lt is the feeling we experienced when we steamed back into San Diego harbor after a seven month absence. lt is the humble feeling toward Almighty God for giving us and our country such a boun- tiful share of his blessings. 7 This cruise to the Western Pacific is not the first nor shall it be the last for BRIDGET. Some of the Qld Timers say it has been the most successful. What success we achieved, and it has been considerable, is directly creditable to you - BRlDGET's CREW. I extend my heartiest thanks for your untiring efforts in behalf of our great country, l sincerely hope this book will be a reminder to each of you of this cruise and of your shipmates who shared the experiences with you. To each of you l wish Godspeed, fair weather and following seas. C. J. RORIE COMMANDING OFFICER
