Geddes RD3 The assembling of a Navy cruise book is no small task and when these men answered the call for volunteers back in October, 1960 few of them knew precisely what was involved. The layout and photography was done under the most difficult at-sea conditions when rolling and pitching made keeping a ruler or camera straight almost impossible. Much of the printing work, done by Dr. Arnold with a helpful hint or two by Ingram, was com- pleted in our short in-port waiting periods. Mr. Keeler acted as our liaison with other Navy photographic centers and contributed the excellent shots of the storm, taken at considerable risk to life and camera. Logan was assigned the difficult task of photograph- ing every man on the ship and as it turned out, some who weren't. While all this was going on, Brown and Geddes kicked around layout suggestions in Ship's Office in between mounting seas of black coffee and shipboard shenanigans. The fatherly voice of experiencevwas provided by Mr. Goforth direct to us from Madison Avenue, U.S.A. What you have read and, we hope, liked was a distillation of mountains of material and smaller peaks of raw talent. We hope it provides you with a lasting memory in pictures and words of an experience none of us can really ever forget. -- - f i. The Cruise Book Finn E A COMPANY 8 0 5 Sb 8 9 ..,...

Her ventures into Moubray Bay, which resulted in the location of Hallett Station, and into the Weddell Sea, where she became known for her ability to operate independ- ently over an extended period of time, have created a tradition for this particular ship which would have been a source of pride to this ship's company, or to any other group who could claim as good a reputation. Had your efforts this year only equalled this tradition, you could be proud of your achievement. But this year you did more than simply equal the past, and in doing it, established new traditions that will live as a source of pride, first to yourselves, and ultimately to those who work in or with this ship later. By your can do approach to all problems, you achieved recog- nition as the Workhorse of Antarctica' in an unglamorous role of routine support, where recog- nition was most unlikely to occur. By your perseverance and gallantry, you took this ship through a perilous, post-season operation and brought her back into port when the odds were opposed to this success. With all this, you established a record of conduct and friendship in overseas ports that will remain a tribute to you yourselves for many years to come. In absolutely every respect it has been a privilege and an incomparable experience to have been a shipmate with you. It is with the utmost ,happiness that I join with the others who have had the pleasure of seeing this ship in action by adding my heartfelt WELL DONE to their sincere and lavish praise. , C f Q ' GRIFFITH C.
