, ,U , During this past deployment, our Commanderfin-Chief announced a ceasefire in, the Vietnam War, and an ending of American participation in the combat activity of Southeast Asia. As the history is written of the United States in the Far East during the past few years, no small mention will be made of the significant contribution of the officers and men of USS AJAX KAR-6j. ' To enumerate AJAX achievements contributing to the high state of readiness maintained by ships of the Pacific Fleet, would be difficult indeed. Suffice it to men- tion however, that during the past ten-year period, AJAX has spent more time on the line providing services in the Far East, than any other Navy ship. The ability of countless numbers of ships to carry out their assigned missions, can be directly at- tributed to AJAX's sustained superior performance. The outstanding record AJAX has built over the years and particularly during this past deployment, has been made possible by the superb quality of men who have served in her. It is not appropriate to reflect upon this past deployment's achievements however, without also mentioning in appreciation, the steadfast sup- port given by AJAX dependents while their men were deployed.
