S- C- J,-'f,,,.' ii--TW rc ? . 1 iv 1 E 5 it 0 , ,X Executive fficer Lieutenant Commander Terence B. SUTHERLAND, USN, was born in Grand Junction, Colo., 27 March 1931. In June 1948 he enlisted in the Navy and was admitted to the US Naval Academy on a Fleet Ap- pointment in 1950. He was graduated with the class of 1954 and his subsequent tours included duty in USS COLAHAN 4 DD 6587, USS TWINING CDD 5405, MINRON 11, and USS WILHOITE QDER 3975. Ashore he attended the six-month Mine Warfare Staff Officer's Course, US Naval Post-Graduate school, George Washington University, and the US Naval War College Command and Staff course. At the Naval Academy for two years, he taught tube and transistor electronics, computer logic, motors and generators, and measurement techniques. He holds a BS degree from the Naval Academy, a BS Clilngineering Electronicsb from the Naval Post- graduate school, and an MA CPersonnel Administra- tion? from George Washington University. He is a qualified Mine Countermeasures Officer and is qualified for command of destroyers. - LCDR SUTHERLAND wears the Navy Commenda- tion Medal with Combat UVM, China Service Medal CExtendedl, National Defense Medal with Bronze Star, Vietnam, Service Medal with Bronze Star, and Navy Expert Pistol Medal. He reported aboard CUNNINGHAM in July 1966. For me this cruise was characterized by a happy phenomenon not often enjoyed by destroyer XO's-- a truly stable crew. Some sailors reported aboard and a few left for other duty stations, but over all everyone had a chance to learn his shipmates' names and to measure their mettle as seamen. It might even be half-jokingly said that you were all on board long enough for us to straighten out your pay records. Some old timers would say 'That's no joke, son!! But it was a good feeling to see familiar faces daily, people you knew you could trust, who made sacrifices on your behalf, who be- lieved Cas you didb that each had to pull his share of the load to achieve the end result--a fighting ship of the line. Thus it will be with real regret that I see a goodimany of you fade off as the ship enjoys her home port stay. 'One year from now over fifty percent of the crew will be new. Those of you who will be gone will not be forgotten. And those of you who remain will be the nucleus about which CUNNINGHAM'S fighting spirit will be maintained and fanned alive again in another deployment to Asian waters--steel men who sail in steel ships. Good Luck! LCDR T. B. SUTHERLAND, USN, Executive Officer
