■■7- « • ' %; -tr . 4 0t. X K , 7 This is the Captain speaking .... Several months ago, we took FIREDRAKE from the harpies of the shore , rehabili- tated her for sailor men, and went to sea. Looking back, it zvas much like the first cross- country flight of a student pilot-some mighty rough maneuvers and, to many of us, mysteries which ivere yet unsolved. An exceptionally short time later, ice were on Dixie bucking like a bronco in that wild night UNREP of KITTY HAWK. Dixie shook everything loose that was not secure, including any mysteries that were remaining. We emerged professionals. Since then, we have sailed our old lady through the swamps off of Saigon, threaded Julia Shoal and sighted along the guns of TOPEKA during Double Eagle. We sear- ched the murk of Cape Padaran and saved our shipwrecked brother. Despite our lack of modern equipment, FIREDRAKE became ii vital member of the world ' s finest fighting fleet . You, with muscle and brain, made it so. God bless each of you and the loyal, lonely families who support you back home.
