As the years pass and each of us reflects back on the l975 cruise, the following pages will help us recall the extended steaming hours, the hard work but mostly the good times and the friends and shipmates with whom we shared the laughs and fun. It is to you the History-makers that this book is dedicated. May each of you experience favorable winds and following seas in the future. Commanding Officer
