I on the morning of 5 September 1968 enroute to distant dugz with the U S SIXTH Fleet in th e M editerranean. For the majority of DYESS' crew the deployment marked the culmination of many months of hard w'ork in preparing DYESS for this commitment' starting with shipyard overhaul in Boston Naval Shipyard ffan-Mayj and continuing through refresher training in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba ffune-fubzj and a brief preparatory period in Newport during August How well these preparations were made and indeed in many instances they were made at con- siderable personal sacruice in terms of lost famibz time was ampbz demonstrated by the undormbz high standard of excellence which DYESS set during her SIX T HFLT operations. From our reporting for dugz on 18 September 1968 until our departure on 25 january 1969, DYESS never failed to make a scheduled operational committment Operations took us into the Western Mediterranean, Ligurian, Tyrrhenian, Ionian, Aegean, Adriatic and Black Seas and included task force, task group, fast attack carrier and special operations. T he pictures and narrative contained within thz's cruise book tell the story - of many long hours on routine watches - of the exciting hours of pi'lot rescue at night and Black Sea operations - and of the libergz hours ashore in foreign ports, far well de- served relaxation. I Hnalb, a word about those who supported us so well on the home front and enabled us to main- tain the high morale and can do spirit which enabled DYESS to accomplish these varied tasks. It is in recognitz'on of the vital part which you played in our success that the DYESS 'Black-Sea Raiders wish to dedicate this cruise book to you. And may all the DYESS famz'lies and friends as well as the wonderful crew who made this cruise a success, enjoy many 'fair winds and following seas in all your future endeavo rs.
