Little more than a year ago USS CONCORD was an infant among ships, devoid of experience, untried, un- trained, but, as later proven, of sturdy stock and un- limited potential. Today she is fully grown and, although still imbued with the spirit of youth, has achieved a level of confidence that comes only from hard work, maturity and frequent achievement. This book is the story of her growth -- from keel laying to completion of her first major deployment with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. It is the story of a ship and, most important, of the men who man her — for it is these men who first breathed life into her upon Commissioning and are her very soul and spirit today. CONCORD has a lifetime ahead of her, surely to be filled with success and achievement. But for those of us who have served aboard during this initial period, we will always consider it the time of greatest excite- ment and adventure. Throughout, all of us knew our responsibility: we must set the pace. For it is a fact that once a ship ' s reputa- tion and personality are developed, they change but slowly, even with the passing of time and the changing of crews. The CONCORD of tomorrow was ours to create today. So if you sense a special pride in the faces of the offi- cers and men whose pictures are contained in this volume; if there appears to be an uncommon display of exuberance as well as determination, it is because the officers and men of CONCORD are proud of their ac- complishments. This is not a pride of conceit but one of deep satisfaction. These men have metthetest, proved their ability as individuals and as a team, and have set CON- CORD on a true course for the future. As CONCORD ' S first Commanding Officer, I could not have been served by better or more dedicated officers and men. Concord comes of age: a message from her Commanding Officer Louis J. Collister Captain, U.S. Navy
