Reveille, reveille, All Hands heave out and thrice up , is heard as the familiar call of the Bo'sn is piped to the crew. And then, l'Flight Quarters, Flight Quarters, All Hands man your flight quarters stations . The year?... it could be happening in 1945, or 1966. The important thing is that it is happening now, and it is 1967. 'lAces of yesterday taught many valuable lessons to the light leaders of today. And today, those lessons are being put to use in every flight over the troubled skies of Vietnam. Throughout World War Il, the fame of INTREPID and her Air Wing grew as their deeds wer cxggnke ygqx n systematic harmony.

Her reputation upholds the courageous name so proudly bestowed upon her... INTREPID. Headlines have an affinity for the pilots and the glory they bring with every mission they fly... with their countless tales of heroism and deadly accuracy in the skies over Vietnam. lt is with these deeds that the pilot has captured the hearts of America. But, there are also those whose duties from dawn til dawn drag on and on. Their days are occupied with the tedious task of supporting the pilots and their mission those whose duty it is to ready the deck for launch and recovery, to load the cannon that pound off peace, to provide the steam that brings the wind without which, the launch would be lost. And it is also those who support in every mentionable way, the sustinance of a fighting ship. lt is all of this then, that must become the story of this Book... INTREPID, 1967, and her second time around
