WHY A YARDBOOK? When a ship from a long voyage returneth, With signs of the sea showing plain, They put her in ' dock for a season, And her speed she regaineth again. —Anonymous The unknown poet ' s words describe why a ship goes into the shipyard, but fail to describe the experience itself. It is like a rebirth— in the manner of a butterfly, the ship spins a cocoon of cables, hoses, and scaffolding around herself, finally emerging again— new. Involved in the metamorphosis are millions of dollars, hundreds of thousands of man-hours, ton after ton of paint, late hours and hazardous, noisy working conditions. In an almost year-long yard period, the crew turns over about sixty percent, as new faces appear and old ones are gone almost daily. Now CONYNGHAM is an active member of the fleet again— better than before. The shipyard trials and accomplishments are behind us all. Yet, something should remain— a reminder of the job well done. This book, we hope, will serve as that reminder. The Yardbook Staff LTlJg] KEITH E.
