The Captain's Message Commander H. B. McClure US Navy The cruise which this book commemorates took place in the Mediterranean during the period 2 September 1958 --12 March 1959. During this time the USS GOODRICH was operating as a unit of the SIXTH Fleet. As such, we were on the first team, we were a member of our country 's mobile, highly trained and skillful first line ofdefense. When we arrived in the Mediterranean the world was observing the day to day developments of the political situation in Lebanon. We operated and conducted vigorous training in the vicinity of Lebanon, and we remained ready, ifcalled upon, to carry out any assignment. The team spirit, can do attitude, and perseverance of all hands made the USS GOODRICH a ready ship. Such is the goal that we attained and that we must continuously strive for in our peace time Navy. As the Lebanon incidentand world tension concerning it eased, we moved on to other areas for continued training andin the meantime maintained an alert status. We were then able to visit some of the finest ports in the Mediter- ranean for liberty and recreation. We worked hard throughout the cruise and maintained the ship in a high state of readiness. We missed no assignments or committments during our entire cruise, and for this we can be justly proud. This was our mission and to all hands who were on board the USS GOODRICH during this Mediterranean Cruise, a most deserved Well Done. Coincidental with our operations with the SIXTH Fleet are the memories of places visited, the enlightening .Qeriences of team spirit, and the friendship developed among shipmates. We owe a great amount of thanks to the CSIS and men wno prepared this cruise book. Through their efforts, we have here a means whereby a few of our iricnces during this period will be fondly brought to mind for many years. 3
