Qzhfzzzfz ,Hwy s ww, W Lg Since the day the HERALD OF THE MORNING was com- missioned as a Navy ship and placed under the command of Captain Harry A. Dunn, there has been but one skipper, and to him goes the credit for guiding the ship's destinies through feverish months of war, and through the long sea-hauls of f'bringing the men back home . As the s-on of Commander H. A. Dunn, Sr., of the Navy Medical Corps, he was given an early bent in the direction of a Navy career. ln l9l 9 he was appointed by President Wilson to the Naval Academy, and after four years of midshipman training, he was graduated in l923. After serving aboard battleships and destroyers as a junior officer, he was transferred to the submarine school at New London, Connecticut. Up-on graduation, he saw duty on R-boats and Sfboats, the late ARGONAUT, and finally was given command of the S-l8. During the six years Captain Dunn spent in submarine activity, mostly in the Pacific area, through a periscope he saw many of the islands later visited by the HERALD OF THE MORNING. The Captain's next duty was aboard cruisers: The U.S.S. PENSACOLA and the U.S.S. NORTHAMPTON. The latter named ship won the Knox trophy for surface firing and the Fire Control E for anti-aircraft firing, while he was serving as assistant gunnery officer. Between assignments at sea, the Captain has been Assistant Professor of Naval Science and Tactics at the Uni- versity of California, and has specialized in Naval Ordnance work at Bremerton, Washington. After decommissioning the HERALD OF THE MORN- ING, the Captain will be entitled to return to his home in Oakland, California, with the satisfaction of a job well done . . B11 'IQ
