onecMnd We ' d like to tell you a story: A story about a ship and the men who make it a ship. To some of us it is an oft repeated yarn which is always worth another spinning. To most of us, however, it is a story still untold with new pages even now being written.

i¥uton«f 0 S f( i The story begins in the Brooklyn Navy Yard in 1944. There, on the 15th of August, a com- mission pennant snapped aloft and the watch was set for the first time aboard the U. S. S. ELDORADO. This was a new kind of ship . . . built for a new kind of war; designed to direct amphibious operations. Completing a seven thousand mile trip, the ELDORADO reported to Commander Amphib- ious Force, Pacific Fleet, at Pearl Harbor for duty as his flagship. Then came the practice, the seemingly endless rehearsals, for what each man knew would be the ship ' s first taste of battle. Already destined as that first battle was Iwo Jima, a pin-point of an island in a volcanic chain, the first actual Japanese territory to be invaded. i
