'fe Commander Standing Naval Force Atlantic STANDING NAVAL FORCE ATLANTIC CRUISEBOOK FOREWORD I am immensely proud to have been associated with the Standing Naval Force Atlantic and to have been its Commander in 1972. The months we have been together have been a fas- cinating a challenging period from which we all have benefited. I know that the experience of this deployment will always be of valuable assistance to each one of us in the years to come. You have all been involved in proving that international cooperation among navies is a practical proposition and in our case a most happy and successful venture. It is always amusing to thumb through a Cruisebook and reminisce on what happened in those good old days . In time to come I feel sure that all of you who are a part of this book, will remember with much pleasure the months you spent as a member of the Stand- ing Naval Force Atlantic. We have all made a great number of friends during the last six months and it has been a sad day for me when ships leave the Forceg remember, however, the sense of brotherhood left behind and that bonds of friendship are strong. From Fort Lauderdale to London and Willemstad to Izmir, STANAVFORLANT has en- hanced its reputation with all whom we have met and worked with. All those who have seen it before have been unanimous that it has never been in better form. The solidarity, pro- fessionalism and sense of purpose of this Force are renowned in all parts of the Western World. This book sets out to show some of the spirit and good fellowship which abounds within the Standing Naval Force Atlantic. JOHN D. E.
