From: COMCORTRON 10 On completion of operation UNITAS 1960 I take sincere pleasure and great pride in recognition of the officers and men of JP Jones, Courtney, Hammerberg, Dealey, and Odax. You have all worked hard to achieve the objectives of this cruise and the results have been commendable. The basic and advance operations so successfully completed will provide firm base for future development of the Naval Forces of our South American friends. Your demonstrated interest, enthusiasm, and professional competence will provide the standards for their future operations. The outstanding material performance of all ships during this unsupported deployment is positive proof of the high state of morale and readiness for wartime operations. The outstanding personal conduct of all personnel while ashore reflected great credit and respect not only to yourselves, but to the U.S. Navy and our country. The positive response to requests for charitable contributions and blood donations and your active participation in ceremonies, visits, athletic and social events was an outstanding achievement in the president's people-to-people program. On your return to your homeports and your families, you can be proud of a difficult job accom- plished in the best traditions of the naval service. At home we will be celebrating Christ- mas with our families, I hope that the officers and men of Task Force 86 will remember their many new friends in South America with a Christmas greeting card to cement the bonds of friendship through recognition of our common faith. CDR C. R. Beyer, USN, Comcortron Ten From: Chief of Naval Operations I Operation UNITAS has been a magnificent accomplishment.
