CYRIL B HAMBLETT Captain USNR Commanding Officer 9 DEDICATION To the men and women of the USS HAVEN (AH-12) who wrote the following chapters with their smiles, frowns, sweat, laughter. With their hopes, skills, unselfishness. With their despair and courage . . . and curses, and some- times tears . . . To the guy carrying that umpteenth case of lettuce up the gangway. To the guy handling the lines with red and often blistered hands ... to the woman in grey pin-stripes who wearily walked the passageways checking on a serious patient. To the corpsman who squinted to see a thermometer reading in the dim light . . to the guy who, sleepy-eyed, felt the shock of cold water sloshing about his feet as he swabbed down the decks at 6 A.M. . . . To the Doctor lighting a cigarette with tremb- ling fingers after standing long hours operat- ing. To the man intently listening to the dot, dot, dash of a message, and to the man stand- ing a boring and routine deck watch . . . To these, and to many, many more who con- tributed so much, this book is sincerely dedi- cated. C. B HAMBLETT Captain USNR USS. HAVEN (AH-12) 1951 - 1952 ( y rif ' ' i f- i y r ]

We ' re Navy . . . regulars, careerists, single hitch men. Reserves extended in voluntarily, ditto voluntarily (!), Reserves who ' ve volunteered for active duty, and retreads, called back for more service. But one and all, we ' re Navy.

We ' re hand- some, homely, happy, sad, old, young, and in-between. But wherever we ' ve been, who we were, whatever we are or hope to be, we ' re every one of us here for one thing: we have a job to do. .
