One consistent trait the crew shared for the six months BERKELEY sailed the Pacific was a professional pride in their work. During underway replenishments, each station raced to see who could do the best job in the shortest time. Inspired by mascots and slogans, each division pulled their load . . . and more. That extra effort by BERKELEY ' S sailors led to COMMANDER CRUISER DESTROYER FLOTILLA THREE awarding her the E for overall Battle Efficiency. The honor cites BERKELEY as foremost in a flotilla of forty ships. zAhove a fid beyond the call ofduty... NAVY ACHIEVEMENT MEDAL LCDR Hershall R. CARSWELL LT Michael G. MERCHANT LT Glen E.

These days perspective is a highly perishable commodity. The winds of change shift so frequently it seems one is never able to steady on a course long enough to get his bearings. We hope to change that in some part with WESTPAC 71 Z grams and Acts of Congress seem to make drastic . ' changes with frequent regularity. But think of the changes , that have occurred since our Navy started. These ilW?- ' .M trations and faces from another day provide contrast which: iS need no comment. V»- Most of all Westpac 71 is a record for thg men of dte BERKELEY. The good times, the rough times all WeiKH make it a memorable experience. Hopefully in feyv mcfcj years they will look at this volume and see piore ' chafiffr • - even as these six months of hard work and li Ay 4 i%»» elapsed. ' — ••C tl ' ' It is in this spirit that this book. is dedicated t« the BERKELEY ' S crew, in acknowledgement of ' tffe pf fe ' sional pride they took in makingour lsi71 deojoYrnfl success it was. ••♦ . . • JENS GN, USN . : .-
