COMMANDING OFFICER CDR Robert Liggett Only a seaman realizes to what extent an entire ship reflects the personality and ability of one individ- ual, her Commanding Officer. To a landsman this is not understandable, and sometimes it is even difficult for us to comprehend - but it is so. A ship at sea is a distant World in herself and in consideration of the projected and distant operations of the fleet units, the Navy must place great power, responsibility and trust in the hands of those leaders chosen for command. In each ship there is one man, who, in the hour of emergency or peril at sea, can turn to no other man. There is one who alone is ultimately responsible for the safe navigation, engineering performance, accu- rate gun firing and morale of his ship. He is the ship. This is the most ,difficult and demanding assign- ment in the Navy. There is not an instant during his tour of duty as Commanding Officer that he can escape the grasp of command responsibility. His priv- ileges in view of his obligations are ludicrously small, nevertheless command is the spur which has given the Navy its great leaders. It is a duty which most richly deserves the highest time honored title of the seafaring world. - CAP- TAIN,'. JOSEPH CONRAD ,mal 3
