Warner and the Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet Admiral Bernard A. Clarey aboard for a Christmas visit. Secretary Warner and Admiral Clarey were greeted by LAWE's Skipper, Commander Albert M. Hayes, Jr. on behalf of the ship's company. The visit was part of Secretary Warner's Christmas with the Seventh Fleet in which he was to visit all U.S. Navy Ships in the Tonkin Cult' and express his appre- ciation for their efforts .during the holiday season. At the time LAWPI was serving as mutual support ship for the Attack Aircraft Carrier. USS RANGER CCVA-615.
