Coontz (DDG 40) - Naval Cruise Book

When I look back on WATC 81 and MED 81-82, it all begins to blur just a little: so many places, so many special details, so many arrivals, so many departures. What isn't blurred, however, is the friendships and dependencies developed with each crew member. The remembrance for me is of each of you. The men who caused it all to happen. I have never worked with sailors quite like COONTZMENg the can do! will do! done! type of sailors who are my shipmates. You each have my respect and my heartfelt - THANKS - for your support! .'ifTiCT-lZ,,:J2i:jQT.' ' 511' '. QL7- R ,:1e,??-'E --....rv.fL . !
