. .S hmlefl. C union it TO OTHER SHIPS that see her at anchor or underway, she is the AP 69. To the friends and families that address letters to her crew she is the U.S.S. ELIZABETH C. STANTON. But to the men who sail her, she is and always has been 'cThe Lizzief' The ojicers and crew of the .Lizzie come. from every section of the United States. They come from the farms, the towns, and the big cities. With them . . . back into their far-flung lives . . . they will carry tales of the Lizzie, telling these tales over and over until the ship becomes a legend. 'alt was the Lizzie that dodged the torpedoes at the invasion of North Africa when the other ships were sinking like pennies tossed into the as sea . . . alt was the Lizzie that steamed back and forth like a cruiser during an air attack at the invasion of Sicily . . . 'alt was the Lizzie that carried the men into Salerno and brought out the wounded . . . . - , ' M1 t was the Lizzie that carried troops to Scotland and to England when the continent invasion force was being massed . . . L A It was the Lizzie at the invasion of Southern France that sent her landing boats into the beaches, and then like an anxious mother counted them as they came back through the screen of smoke that divided the known from the unknown, and sometimes the living from the dead . . . 66 l t was the Lizzie that steamed in and out o so many bays and harbors of the Pacijic that a roster of her ports of call reads like a chronology of the Pacific war . . . To these stories, and to the innumerable whoppers that will in future be told of this ship, let this book and these pictures be the record of what really happened g what the Lizzie did g how her crew lived g and what they saw.
