Their sudden and uiexpected departure was a great loss to our ranks and saddened us all. LCdr Daly ' s illness required his emergency medevac from Numazu, Japan on the early morning of 6 December 1977 just as we were departing for amphibious exercises Sang Yong VII BLTEX 1-78 with the Republic of Korea. Seaman Franks passed away on our first night in Singapore, 23 December 1977. Both men contributed in many ways to the successful accomplishment of our mission, particularly in the ardous months of FORT FISHER overhaul and refresher training prior to deployment. We remember them with affection and recall with pleasure the days spent together on the FORT.
