The USS KANSAS CITY was christened at the Boston Naval Shipyards in 1970; Under the command of Captain Christoph, : the KANSAS CITY became a member of the US Naval Fleet and sailed through thei Panama Canal to join the First Fleet, Captain Christoph then led the KANSAS CITY through its maiden WestPac Cruise which saw many honors bestowed upon the young ship. Shortly before the cruise ended, Captain Christoph was relieved by Cap- tain Craven who safely guided the KANSAS CITY back to Long Beach. On April 14, the KANSAS CITY, after a short four and one-half month turn-a-roiind, pulled out of Long Beach and headed back to the Gulf of Tonkin. With the invasion of South Vietnam, the situation had changed drastically. As a result of Seventh Fleet build-up, the KANSAS CITY was in for more work than ever. Captain Craven led the KANSAS CITY at a vigorous pace for six months and then was relieved by Captain Schwoefferman as he was promoted to Chief of Staff for Commander Carrier Division Seven. Captain Schwoefferman then saw the KANSAS CITY through its last UNREP and a safe journey home to Long Beach. This second WestPac Cruise and the men whose sweat ran the ship and the set numerous records is our story.
