EXECUTIVE OFFICER CAPT Dannheim and COR Farrell exchange a tew last words just prior to the Executtve Officer ' s final departure in Hawaii The Executive Officer (usually known as the XO) Is responsible to the Commanding Officer for the day-to-day operation and condition of INGERSOLL and her crew His primary areas of responsibility are administration, training, and general ship cleanliness, however, his writ extends to the farthest corner of the command and to the remotest detail of life on board. It goes without saying that the XO fills one of the Navy ' s most challenging billets. His capabilities are always reflected in the overall tenor and perfor- mance of the command. During our cruise. INGERSOLL was served by two fine Executive Officers. CDR Jerry Farrell completed his lour on board during our second stop in Pearl Harbor, and was relieved by LCDR Ron Bryson.
