Wiley, TEM2 Robert G. Burnett, Lt BUSINESS MANAGER A few months ago we decided to print a cruise book depicting the Kor- ean Cruise of the Destroyer Cunningham. Since that time this book has developed from a few roughly written notes to the book you are now reading. From the many pictures available we have tried to select the ones most interesting to all concerned without breaking censor- ship rulings.

am tkc tkaf laiH RAYMOND C. HOHENSTEIN. CDR., CMC, USN Force Chaplain, ComCruDesPac For many months I have followed with great interest the doings of the U.S.S. Cunningham (DD752), In November 1950, during the train- ing period I spent a week aboard at sea out of San Diego. It was my pleasure to board her again in August 1951 at Yokosuka, Honshu, Japan and to conduct divine services on the two Sundays at sea en route to San Diego. During your months in the combat area every one has done his part well in carrying out each task assigned. Though frequently under fire from enemy shore batteries, the ship sustained practically no damage, nor was there a single personnel casualty. Almighty God, too, did His part well. May He continue to ride in the U.S.S. Cunningham and with each member of her ship ' s company. Raymond C. Hohenstein CDR. CHC. UNS.
