The prestige, privilege, and the burden of command ■Joseph Conrad CDR. J.F. Schremp, USN Commanding Officer Commanding Officer of DALY is Cdr. James Francis Schremp, USN, of 214 Seaton Rd., Stam- ford, Conn. He attended Columbia University prior to his entering the U.S. Naval Academy in 1938. He received his commission on Dec. 19, 1941, upon graduation from the Nova! Academy. As a junior officer he served on board the USS WICHITA, HORNET, and PITTSBURGH. He was a member of the ship ' s company when PIT- TSBURGH towed the disabled USS FRANKLIN from a combat area near Japan and when she lost her bow in a typhoon off Okinawa in May 1945. Following promotion to LCDR in 1945, he was ordered to the USS IOWA as CIC Officer. His next tour was on board the USS NEW JER- SEY as Gunnery Officer, during which the ship was decommissioned in the New York Naval Shipyard. In 1948 he was ordered to the Office of the Judge Advocate General for postgraduate train- ing at Georgetown Univ. Law School. In 1951 he received an LLB degree and was admitted to the Va. and D.C. bars. He then attended the Fleet Sonar School, Key West Fla., prior to duty as Executive Officer and Navigator of the USS M.C. FOX (DDR 829), which, in 1952, par- ticipated in the NATO operation Mainbroce. Following this duty he attended the Naval War College, Newport, R.I. While at Newport, he was promoted to Cdr. in March 1954; Cdr. Schremp then served in Legislative L iaison and as Con- gressional Investigations Officer in the Office of the Judge Advocate General. In September, 1956, he took command of the USS DALY. Cdr. Schremp holds the World War It Vic- tory Medal, the American and National Defense, and European and American Theatre Medals, the Pacific Theatre Medal with 6 stars and others. He married the former Betty L. Hanemann, of Des Moines, Iowa in Portsmouth, Va. in 1944. Their children are James F. Jr., 11, and Chris- tine A., 9.

THE EXEC. LCDR A. Major, USN SEE THE EXEC ... On a small ship the Executive Officer is God personified. Not only does he hold office as Navigator, directing the ship ' s course, evading navigational hazards, on hand with all the information - ready to sat- isfy the Captain ' s queries, instruct the Officer of the Deck, or delve with the quartermaster into an endless series of charts logs, or toy with compasses, sextants and stadimeters, , , These are the tasks of just the Navigator, a Destroyer Executive Officer is much more than a Naviga- tor. He is the Captain ' s right hand man, as- sistant policy-maker on board ship, Personnel Manager, head department head, and even Chaplain - without portfolio . . .Synchronizing the various departments into one smooth run- ning unit, instigating endless monthly, quarterly, semi-annual and annual reports to each and every department in the Navy ' s complex admin- istrative pattern, investigating the circumstances of the mast reports, supervising the ship ' s of- fice, routing the mail, drafting hundreds of mes- sages - in general going about the tedious de- tailed job of seeing that his ship is on the ball. That this ship is on the ball, we owe to the tireless effort of Art Major. Performing a rugged, thankless job with the type of ability and genius that has made DALY one of the Navy ' s finest fighting units. Admiration from all, off- icers and men to our Exec - no ship will ever have better.
