'f '-'W' fr. . w DEDlcATlo This mighty aircraft carrier, which proudly bears the name of America's first Secretary of Defense, is an expres- sion of immense accomplishment, the sum of that great man's endeavor. A simile may be drawn between this ship, a positive contribution to peace, and that man whose life was dedicated to the advancement of American promi- nence. Both man and ship were greatly needed by our nation, and both fulfilled wholeheartedly our nations need. James Vincent Forrestal was born in Beacon, New York, on February 15, 1892. After studies at Dartmouth and Princeton Universities, he entered the banking business in 1916. During World War I, Mr. Forrestal served, as a Naval Aviator, both in this country and abroad. Returning to his banking ventures, he gained in eminence and in 1940 accepted the post of Administrative Assistant to President Roosevelt. In August of 1940, he became the first Under- secretary of the Navy, and at the height of the war was appointed Secretary of the Navy, where under his initi- ative, our Navy became a force of great potential. Mr. Forrestal accepted the oath of ofhce as the country's first Secretary of Defense in September of 1947. Soon after his resignation from this office, the Secretary fell ill, and the nations defense leader passed away 'on May 22, 1949, shortly after his entrance into the hospital. ln the sturdy passage of this great vessel, the widowed wife of that unparalleled statesman may see mirrored the stride of her illustrious husband. ltf is to this woman MRS. JAMES V. FORRESTAL, that this pictorial account is RESPECTEULLY DEDICATED.
