whether designated General Purpose (DD) Escort (DDE) or Radar Picket (DDR) are much alike. They are fast, as ships go, narrow of beam, rough in a seaway, handy in a fight. Peace or war, they do the work. Nowadays most Atlantic based destroyers are rotated to the Mediter- ranean for five month periods — perhaps not as often as the Larson, - but it is a routine assignment, nevertheless. There is nothing spectacular in it. The work at sea is hard and the liberty ashore is good. Each ship has its share in waging a guiet war the Navy is winning through the presence of strength and the creation of good will among foreign peo- ples. The Larson is only one of many doing this same important and almost anonymous job. In the following pages you will find shipboard scenes, fleet opera- tions, ports of call familiar to most Deslant sailors. You may see faces here and there which you recognize as those you know, or love. But it is our hope that you will discover something more. Then you may understand the reason why we take a particular pride in this one ship. Why we who have served in her think of the Larson not merely as one of many, but as one among many.
