ANEW BEGINNING Our new skipper kept the theme of our cruise going. With his advent he brought a few hundred people dressed in green, other ships to look at while we were steaming, men with flags called com- modores, but most of all, some really great liberty ports.

COMMANDING OFFICER CAPTAIN ROBERT E. KIRKSEY Since early December, 1972, Captain Kirksey has been the Skipper to all the men of the CLEVE. He took us through our ARG days, then to End Sweep in Haiphong, then home to San Diego in April, all the time withstanding a spate of Airdale jokes while keeping our morale and professionalism as high as ever. Captain K ' s mixture of humor, openness, forcefullness and leadership gave us the example we needed and made us want to do our best, because we liked the man and because we knew what he expected of us. Captain Kirksey ' s background is in aviation, but he proved time and again that he could be as salty a seadog as anyone on board. How many of us have ever seriously considered the burden of responsibility that accompanies the job of Commanding Of- ficer of a ship like CLEVELAND? He has met those respon- sibilities head-on and has proved his capabilities as an out- standing leader, not only in aviation, but in surface warfare as well. Captain Kirksey is slated to assume command of USS KITTY HAWK in early October, 1973.
