Daniel F. Anglim, Jr-, GDR, USN Commanding Officer 28 March 1970 To the Men of JOHNSTON: 'Today we have completed a successful seven month deployment with the Sixth Fleet, in the Mediterranean. We have steamed over 40,000 miles, visited some twelve ports, and participated in National, NATO, and Bilateral ex- ercises. 1-ThZroughout our -deployment We were accorded the recognition that benefits af capable performer. Our readiness and willingness to perform any and all ,tasks assigned is indicative of the spirit and attitude with which each of you have approached your responsibilities.

,.,. . .,. . . . . ,.,. ., ,wt .-W--,9 Robert B. Adgent, LGDR, USN Executive Officer e Short of .actual combat conditions, we have during the past seven months experienced one of the most rigorous and demanding existences required of a citizen of the United States: living and working aboard a steaming SIXTHFLT destroyer during the winter ' months. In aggrevation of this havebeen any number of daily occurances, many of them attributable to the age of our proud home. Thus, although our crew averaged only21 years in age, and we were born all over the United States and its territories, many of us did much of our growing up on JOHNSTON in the winter of 1969-70. And in the process we learned a lot. We learned about the inseparability of responsibility and authority, and the fact that they are both most effective when combined with large portions of mutual respect. We saw this respect and confidence as bestowed on individuals and their basic desire to do a good job produce a crew the likes of which, I feel, has never been seen. We not only learned to live with each other, we learned to live for each other, and in turn, for our families, our homes, our country, and our dreams of peace in the world. Yes, it was an unforgetable cruise for all of us. We'll remember the ports we visited, the friends we made, the exercises and operations in which we so successfully participated, and the meticulous way we maintained our ship. But I think most of all we'll remember with pride the fact that we learned to respect each other and the unique contributions we were all able to make in creating a SUPER CAN . Tiff! .K ff
