D6dlf'Fi iICd naval officer,-uCan do spirit-sincere and 'devoted to his job-champion letter-getter al:-cards shipg all are phrases that have been used tion. time to time by the DIACHENKO crew to describe our much respected X.O. Lieutenant B... D. Smith. Although his entire tour on board will be less than one year, lVIr. Smith's enthusiasm, organizational ability and Warm personality will long be felt after his departure for Nuclear Power School in the near future. A graduate of the Naval Academy in 1957, Mr. Smith spent his first tour of duty aboard USS RICHARD B ANDERSON QDD-7865 where he was ASW Officer, First Lieutenant and Weapons Officer. After ANDERSON lVlr. Smith went to lVl.I.T. Where he obtained his lVl.S. degree in Naval Construction and Engineering, and a Pro- fessional Degree as a Naval Engineer. The forthcoming year will be interesting and cer- tainly profitable for our X.O. After six months at Mare Island learning how nuclear energy reacts, he will spend another half-year at a reactor site studying nuclear processes in further detail. And after that, maybe an-other tour aboard DIACHEN- KO, when they make us a unukief, that is. LT. B. D. SMITH EXECUTIVE OFFICER
