McManes, Commander Battleship • Cruiser Force, Atlantic Fleet. Receiving the number one award in shipboard ceremonies early this morn- ing wos Captain V. L. Lowrance, USN, ] the MACON ' S skipper. Rear Admiral McManes congratulated Lowrance and his officers and men fori their achievements and noted that the I accumulative efficiency score of the winning vessel was appreciably higher I than the top mark last year. I think it is significant that the MACON is the world ' s first guided mis- sile ship to receive the Battle Efficiency { award, McManes said. Aside from her distinction as the top cruiser in the powerful Atlantic Fleet, the MACON is the only cruiser armed I with the Navy ' s supersonic guided mis- sile, Regulas . The Ragulas-armed cruiser departs tomorrow at 10 a.m. for the Mediter- ranean where it will strengthen the U.S. Sixth Fleet with the Navy ' s fore- most atomic-capable weapon. The departure, however, has nothing to do with the gathering war clouds in the Middle East.
