This is a man wlio is captain aboard a ship he does not command, who is the Chief of a Staff over which he does not have the ultimate control. And yet he must implement and make effective the policies and plans of the Sixth Fleet. Directing a large and capable staff to accomplish a multitude of tasks, Captain Miller has done much to make the U. S. Sixth Fleet the fast and efficient organi- zation that it is. Captain Miller has been prepared for this assignment since his graduation from the U. S, Naval Academy in 1933. His first ships were the USS Maryland and the USS Edsall. He then served on the Staff of CINC, Asiatic Fleet. He then re- turned to sea to serve on the USS Trinity, to be followed by the USS Maury. Short- ly before Pearl Harbor he was assigned to his Alma Mater, the U.S. Naval Aca- demy, where he remained until 1943. Captain Miller then received the billet of Navigator of the USS Cabot, which earned the Presidential Unit Citation for action at Guam, Saipan, Truk, Hollandia and the Marianas Turkey Shoot . At the end of 1944 he became the Command- ing Officer of the USS Lowry. Receiving the Navy Unit Citation, this ship saw action at Mindoro, Lingayen Gulf Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and finally the occupation of Japan. During the war, he earned the Navy Cross and the Silver Star. Assigned next to the Naval Base at Newport, Rhode Island, he later attended the Naval War College. In 1950 he became the Executive Officer of the USS Sa- lem, after which he became Commanding Officer of the Presidential yacht, the USS Williamsburg for two years. He then returned to the U. S. Naval Academy— this time to serve as its Executive Officer. Prior to his present assignment, he served as Commanding Officer of the USS Yellowstone. With such varied pre- paration, Captain Miller has merited outstanding qualifications for present as- signment. Capt. Edwin Swain Miller, Chief Of Staff
