This is the Captain speaking . . . rom the Bay of San Francisco, across the Pacific, through the Bering Sea and into the Indian Ocean, CARL VINSON has made her awesome presence felt. Every time she was called upon to perform, she did so flawlessly and with that extra effort that has become her hallmark. I want to express my personal gratitude to you, the crew — the finest men this great nation has to offer. You have proven your unselfish willingness to demonstrate and, if necessary, defend those values and ideals upon which our country was founded. I also wish to thank all the families and friends who endured this extended separation. Your unselfish dedication and sacrifice has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Join us now, the crew of CARL VINSON, as we relive our odyssey through the pages of this book. This is the story of the men, honed on the cutting edge, who took the BATTLESTAR into WESTPAC 88.
