This book is dedicated to the family and friends of the USS MOUNT HOOD. It is their dedication, patience, love and understanding that supported the crew throughout the deployment helping them accomplish their mission. Now that the GOOD HOOD has completed this tour of the western pacific and has assisted in maintaining the Seventh Fleet in a continual high state of readiness, we return home to our family and friends with a sense of accomplishment that only a GOOD HOOD sailor can feel. Through your support from home, we were able to accomplish what we set out to do.
