I I . :- . xvgpf 30 September 1965 To: The Officers and Men of INDEPENDENCE The commitments of the United States Navy are many and varied. To meet them, ships and aircraft are deployed around the world. But, nowhere is the task more important then in Viet Nam. The finest equipment is no better than the skill of the men who use it. lt is through the courage and determination of people that the Navy fulfills its mission, This is the vital factor, Special trust and confidence have been placed in the officers and men of INDEPENDENCE to perform a task vital to the security of the United States. INDEPENDENCE has measured up to this task. History is made by the actions of men, what they do and how they do it. The record now being compiled by INDEPENDENCE as a demonstration of the effectiveness and flexibility of the attack carrier is an exemplary one. Those who serve in INDEPENDENCE can take pride in their accomplishments, for they are in keeping with the finest traditions of the naval service. X . . BOO H, II Vice Ad iral, U.
