XO ' S MESSAGE May this Crew ' s Book bring many pleasant memories to you in the future. As time passes you will forget the fatigue of mid-watches, the summer heat in the compartments, the smells of the Naples ' waterfront, and remember the interesting liberties, good friends, and successful under- takings during your tour aboard the ALAMEDA COUNTY. As you grow older and the sea stories become more colorful, feel content that in serving aboard the Navy ' s first Advanced Aviation Base Ship you have made your contribution to the task of preserving peace and freedom in the world and have earned the gratitude of not only your fellow shipmates and the American people but that of the entire non-communist world. Best regards now and in the future, R. P. Kluger LCDR, USN I a LCDR R. P. KLUGER, USN Executive Officer
