Executive Officer During the past ten months, everything that was asked of this ship was accomplished. Whether it was a gunfire mission, a personnel inspection, or just plain giving of yourselves to a cause, it was always a first class effort. I am proud to have been a part of the finest cew of the best ship in the Coast Guard. As we end our deployment, I wish you con- tinued success in all of your future endeavors. LCDR R. S. TUNESKI, USCG New London, Conn. Engineer Officer At best, this cruise book stands as a token reminder of the experiences shared by us; all of which have touched our lives in as many ways as our number. A ship is dead and a lifeless thing without a crew. You gave this ship life and a record, your record, of which you all may be ever- lastingly proud. But the lifeblood of this ship comes not from the crew alone; it is inextricably fused with the lives of our wives, families, or sweethearts. May this book serve as a fitting reminder of the important part they played in the successful completion of this mission,- may they share the feeling of satisfaction and accomplish- ment of a job well done. LCDR C, E. SIEGMAN, USCG Desplaines, III.
