Chemung (AO 30) - Naval Cruise Book

Page 71 text:

Captain Leonard G. Craning commanded CHEMUNC for nearly all of the 1966 WESTPAC deploy- ment, and when he was relieved by Captain John A. Montgomery on 13 August 1966, he could look back with satisfaction and enjoyment on the achievements of his year of command. The memory of his cor- diality and forceful presence on the bridge will remain vivid for the officers and men who were privi- leged to serve under him. It was fitting that the change of command ceremony took place during an UNREP, where the spirit of the occasion was that of continuation in carrying out CHEMUNG ' S mission under a new skipper rather than the pomp and circumstance of great change. mm nHMMi
