August 1964 To the Officers and Men of the USS JAM STOWN, their families and friends. i During the past four months JAMESTOWN has been engaged in its maiden deployment as a unit of the worlds mightiest Navy. The builders of the Q old J. HOWLAND GARDNER could never have guessed the extraordinary changes that would one day enable their relatively uncomplicated cargo carrier to y undertake a mission as vital to the preservation of our nation as that entrusted to sleek supereerriers and nuclear submarines. L The urgent need for material support during the closing phases of Q world War ll gave birth to hundreds of workhorses like the GARDNER. As Y we look back today on the Stalwart Liberty Ships which in the darkest y hours of conflict supplied our forces with material, we may he reassured Y that someday history will unfold the role played by Technical Research r is vessels in maintaining peace and security in our war against Communism y on the oceans of the world. t it l lv During our exrcumnavigation of the African Continent we have all had y the opportunity to broaden our horizons while making countless friendsi x for America. Unfortunately, there is norway of adequately expressing the , hardships of separation that must of necessity accompany the endeavors which we have successfully undertaken. I would like to take this oppor- tunity to extend my thanks to our families, loved ones end friends. Your letters and cheerful uneomplaining attitude helped immeasureoly in easing the pangs of what seemed so often a long and lonely separation. , lt is my hope that this book will be viewed and enjoyed by all hands for many years to come. ln conclusion I extend to all of you whose un- tiring efforts made our goals realities, my heartiest congratulations yi for a job well done. g yy A K ,.-'P ,,.t1 X is ,rfiws-f eet.,,,ss,..e. ...tt s we-M slW'u 'QNA X H W H ff3'Csi9WQwM5 'i fl .M,r .
