74 a?ef10Wp Me dapzam on p U. S. qs. COGSWELL KDD-6519 CARE FLEET POST oFFlcE NEW YORK, N. Y. 1 March 1953 After looking through this Cruise Book, the thoughtful reader may wonder Xwhy the'Navyf goes to the effort and expense of sending ships to the Mediterranean. The reasons are many: To give encouragement to our NATO Allies, to gain experience in operating with them, tobecome familiar with the waters in that part of the world, and to increase mutual good feeling and understanding with the people of those coun- tries. The men of the Cogswell, upon returning from the Mediterra- nean, can look back with pride to a record of solid accomplishment in all of these spheres. We also hope that this Cruise Book will give the families and friends of the Cogswell crew a better idea of our ship and our activities, and that in the future it will recall fond memories of those cher- ished associations that are possible only to those who have been shipmates. A Enmett P. BONNER Commanding Officer u-f 1
