From the pre-deployment planning phase and contract negotiations to organizing the f h ' t' d individual portraits for the entire crew, to the final submission of completed pages, the staff devoted many hours o t e1r own ime pro uc- ing write ups, selecting pictures, and organizing the lay-outs. If this Cruisebook makes you remember good times from CALIFO s you look at this book more than once, then we will have succeeded in our goal of giving you something that which you can recall your time RNIA' 96 WESTPAC, makes you laugh, or most importantly if here. Special thanks to Mike Archer, our cruise book representative for his exhaustive support and around the clock support. Mike was always there to answer my questions and take my phone calls from half way around the world at all hours of the night. Without his expert technical support this cruise book would still be on the drawing board. Thanks Mike. Fair Winds and Following Seas FCCCSWJ Brian K. Kirkwood The Editor Home at last. 7 N LM.
