'- BY A FIRST PRIZE SHIP Mayport dressed herself in mourning when we put to sea. An overcast sky, with occasional rain and rough seas, greeted us on our departure, and the sad- ness felt upon starting a lengthy voyage away from home was with us, as well as those we left behind. A prayer by Chaplain Joseph A. Howland asked the Lord's blessing, and reminded us one and all, of our commit- ment to our land, its people, and those we love. By evening, the familiarity of the turbine whine, and the ship's continual mastery of the ever mounting seas, re- assured us. We were in good handsgwe were on our way safely and majestically. The trans- formation of a llCan-Do ship into a t'Blue-Ribbon ship had started. By the time we returned, the ship would wear a Blue- Ribbon in her hair, and would well deserve it. The crowns on the director and the ASROC launcher, would be symbols of the pride we had in our accom- plishments, and that we were proud to say we were men of the ROYAL.
