Officers of DENVER 4 The officers of DENVER are the source from which the leader- ship for her crew originates. Their abilities to utilize the training skills of the men assigned to their respective work centers, divisions and departments fulfill the tasks assigend DENVER and maintain her maximum level of readiness. The officers of the Wardroom are a varied lot from many back- grounds and ways of life. Many are college graduates who entered the Navy either through U.S. Naval Academy, Navy ROTC, Navy Of- ficer Candidate School or Navy Officer Indoctrination Schools. The professional training for the officers entering the Navy through any of the afore mentioned programs is varied which adds to assist the wardroom in professional development. There are also those few officers who have developed them- selves professionally from the enlisted ranks and were commis- sioned as Limited Duty Officers. Through years of professional in-rate-advancement and impres- sively exhibiting their speciality skills they were recommended by their commands for a direct com- mission in their former enlisted rates and NECs. The officers of DENVER are proud of her crew, for the crew is her mainstay to fully meet all of her commitments on time. LT A. R. HILLIGAS, SC Hudson, NY LT T. C. RAMSEY, DC Englewood, CO LT J. A.
