FORWARD This is a story, a story about an elegant fighting lady of the U.S. Navy, the U.S.S. CALVERT QAPA 325. The CALVERT hull was laid at SPARROW POINT, MARYLAND, on February T0, T942. On the first of October T942 she was commis- sioned and turned over to the Navy where she immediately went into action. She took part in many operations from the invasion of NORTH AFRICA in T943 on through to the invasions of MAKIN ISLAND, the MARSHALL ISLANDS, SAIPAN, and LEYTE and LUZON ISLANDS in the Philippines. After VJ Day, she took part in the occupation of KURE, JAPAN until October 6, T945. Her iob in the Navy was to transport troops, supplies, and equipment in amphibious invasions and to act as flagship for a transport squadron commander and she did it well. On February 26, T947, she received a well deserved rest being inactivated at Norfolk, Virginia. In October T950, she was again called to active duty and was recommissioned under the command of Captain Glenn L. LEGWAN, USN. She participated in the invasion of INCHON, KOREA and last year, she took part in the operation, Passage to Freedom , in Indochina where she transported over 6,000 refugees from HAIPHONG to SAIGON. This is a brief incomplete story of OUR LADY in words. The remainder of the story is in pictures on the following pages as we, the men of the CALVERT, present with extereme pleasure the highlights of this 5th Far East Cruise which began in March of T955.
