Page 5 text:

For the seven months that BE RKE LE Y was deployed to the Western Pacil7c, she kept track of the many events which were making news in addition to the operations in which she participated in the Gulf of Tonkin. A President and Party Chairman met in Russia to confer on sweeping international policies . . . two others held the world in suspense as they maneuvered chess pieces to battle for a championship in lceland. As she sped across the PaciHc, many descriptions of .the intense U.S. combat operations came across the teletypes daily,' while, on the return transit, emmissaries from the American, North Vietnamese and South Vietnamese govern- ments raced around the world on the brink of a peace settle- ment to the conflict in which -the BE RK E LE Yhad made seven deployments. The theme of our 7972 Crew's Book dwells on the pride the Navy has taken in doing its job for so many years, and how it still exists today in our crew. Even after so much drastic change, pride exists in our Navy today just as much as decades ago. lt still takes that something extra to hustle to an unrep, to do the routine job better than usual, as the BE RK E LE Y's crew did for seven months this year. ln the next eighty pages, witness how a group of three hundred men of diverse back- grounds pull together to perform as a well-trained team. Note how the extra effort of pride can make 300 men become the ofHcers and crew of the USS BERKELEBC to whom this book is dedicated: the CRE W 'S BOOK for 7972.
