Reed, United States Navy, and to all other proven and trusty shellbacks who travel with him greetings and our royal welcome. We are informed that Task Force 86 of the United States Navy, bound for southern waters and our seamans proving ground around Cape Horn, is about to enter our royal domain to pay due homage and obeisance before our imperial court of the seven seas. We greet these tidings with joy, for the sight of loyal shellbacks and proven mariners is ever dear to our heart. But we and all our court are grieved to hear that in this Force there is also a horde of slimy pollywogs, landlubbers, appleknockers, corn huskers, desk polishers, beachcombers, garret rats, haystosers, he- vamps, liberty hounds, falsely masquerading as men of Warsmen and other vile and unmentionable varieties of land spawned vermin, who have never appeared before us to pay just and due homage. We therefore direct that at l8l400R is lat 00-00 long 81-03WV you cause Task Force 86 to lie to to receive us and our royal court so that we may examine these miserable land lice and judge if they be worthy to be initiated into the ancient and solemn mysteries of the deep and to welcome our loyal subjects and worthy shellbacks. We further advise you that at about l7l600R our trusted and devoted scribe Davy jones will appear aboard the ships of Task Force 86 to deliver our royal summons to all aforesaid unmentionable and slimy pollywogs, giving particulars of the several heinous and land lubberly crimes which they have com- mitted and for which they must appear before our courts and answer to our judges according to the inexorabe, stern but just laws of the raging main. Done this 16th day of September anno domini 19-60 and affixed hereto our royal seal. Neptunnus Rex, ruler of the raging main. Attested Davy jones, his mark.

FOR ME AS FOR ALL THE USS MEN IT HAS BEEN A VERY SATISFACTORY EXPERIENCE AND AT THE SAME TIME THE BEST OPPORTUNITY TO WORK WITH SUCH EFFICIENT GROUPS OF MEN. WE SHOULD DESIRE TO CONTINUE BUT NOW IT IS NECESSARY TO END OUR COMBINED WORK. I HOPE AND I AM SURE THAT IN THE FUTURE WE SHALL HAVE NEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR PLANNING AND TRAINING TOGETHER AGAINST THE ANTISUBMARINE WARFARE NOT ONLY TO PREPARE OURSELVES FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE OF OUR FREE HEMISPHERE BUT TO STRENGTHEN THE FRIENDNESS AND FRA- TERNITY BETWEEN OUR COUNTRIES LAND PEOPLE.
