»1 «J ' - e jS DE DICATIOIV H y This cruisebook is a pictorial essay depicting the Navy ' s finest amphib- ian in action. Eighteen months ago we established a goal that our ship would set operational, maintenance, and habitability standards that would be judged. Our success in fulfilling this mission rests not in some hollow protestation, it is a matter of official record. The formula for our accomplishments lies in the essence of the American ideal; that any objec- tive can be attained by applying positive leadership to such basic human concepts as teamwork, hard work, and discipline. Consequently this crui- sebook is dedicated to the crew of the Navy ' s premier assault amphibian. In particular we have identified groups who not only contributed to the overall performance of the ship, but who established personal goals and completed same. Those sailors who enrolled in ESWS, PACE, and daily physical fitness training sought mental and or physical improvement. Their tenacious efforts benefitted themselves, their shipmates, and the United States Navy. We salute those who have dedicated themselves to the achievement of collective and personal goals, yours is the spirit of the true professional. I am honored to have served with you.
