In order for the United States to preserve: its freedom, and that of other free peoples in this world of ours, we must maintain control of the seas. This is ti basic rnaxiin which cannot be disputed, it cannot rnaintairi this control without asserting it beyond its continental shores, 'l he United States Navy, by its very presence in it troubled area, reassures its friends and allies of its support against totalitarian regimes. lhe ships are ambassadors of the United States in promoting good will and friendly rela- tions with foreign peoples. ll'he Navy becomes not only ei powerful but a I-iflz: and precise instrurnent for carrying out our foreign policy, and 5Elt,L,llli5 therefore rnust take just pride in its role as ft 'lC1U,'XlilJl,kF-I OE' l-iiil-QEQIJORZ I have now been in cornrnand of this fine and beautiful ship for twenty months. lknow niy tirne is growing to tt close, for it is our Navy's policy, and a correct one, to lirnit the length of tours in conirnand to two years ir. order to give other qualified officers Qin opportunity to conimiind.
