Captain Thorrias Winfield South II If, as he said, his relief by Captain Fowler on 30 November ended the greatest year of his life, then to Captain South goes much of the credit for making it so. ESSEX will not forget him - the Captain, gentleman and first-rate Naval Officer who tempered incisive judgment and perspective wtih great charm andpenetrating Wit. Those who worked closely with him marveled at his command of the moment and his faith in sub- ordinates which made Iirst-rate performance mandatory. He was the Captain who could say of ESSEX, on departing, it's the people who make the difference, and by so doing cite the very reason why he left his mark on the standards and character of this Old Lady. He personified in a deeply personal way what to ESSEX is connoted by the F'ightin'est Ship in the Fleet.
