.ww CHANGE WOZMOSMMAND 5 Commander Angood speaks t was a beautiful November day with hardly 3 cloud in the sky. There is not a better place to have a change of command than at sea! In ad- dition to the ANCHORAGE crew members and em- barked Marines, the ceremony was attended by Commodore Wall, Commander Amphibious Squad- ron Five, COL Guenther, Commander of 13th Ma- rine Expeditionary Unit CMEUJ, and Captain Hall, Commanding Officer USS TARAWA. The ceremony began with a few words from Commodore Wall and was followed by a presentation of the commis- sioning pennant to Commander Angood. Com- mander Angood then addressed his crew for the last time in an emotional and thankful farewell ad- dress. A reception followed during which the Mess Specialists produced a wonderful meal consisting of hors d'oeuvres, roasted pig, and many other tasty foods. On behalf of the crew of USS ANCHOR- AGE, we would like to wish Commander Angood fair winds and following seas!! ,Q - -r Q' bk Jin: - - sf + - -- . ..- f 'nv'-v..-f .
