TO THE S THER CROSS Is dedicated to: Those who were responsible for the very lives of numerous pilots over Vietnamese lands and watersg Those who ensured that our guns and missiles were always ready to down any potential foes, Those who oft-times spent their total time in liberty ports refueling the ship andfor repairing boilersg Those who stood countless hours of watch on the bridge, in the main spaces, on the weather decks, and within the ship, thus insuring the safety and well-being of us all, And to those who shuffled endless reams of paper to ensure that our existence aboard KING was not forgotten by those who support us on land and at sea. In short, this book is dedicated to every KINGSMAN who steamed with her on this epic journey. G. H. STELLING
