m-i- : i -: ' ' . i r This book is a chronicle of CAMDEN and her men and of the surprises they found— in places familiar and foreign; in the ship; and in themselves.

How big was it when you first came aboard? Spacious, huge. After weeks at sea: how big is it now? pretty small. Life at sea is almost ascetic.

THE CAMDEN INSIGNIA The insignia of CAMDEN (AOE-2) is derived from the city seal of Camden, New Jersey, the city where the ship was built and for which she is named. The Coat of Arms in the center is a facsimile of the shield of the city seal of Camden, New Jersey. The right half contains a sailing ship, representing the city as a port of entry, and its shipbuilding in- dustries. The left half is a replica from the Coat of Arms of Lord Camden, after whom the city was named. Flexibility, Readiness, Endurance: CAMDEN ' s motto embodies the three characteristics the ship and her crew must possess to meet the logistic support challenge the ship is designed to fulfill. The crossed sword and anchor in the background represents her crew, both officers and men. The line border circumscribing all facets of CAMDEN ' s emblem emphasizes the unity required for CAMDEN to function as an effective unit of the fleet.
