Ulllid I I t t si thu l uct at command of this ship with great .... To my ollicers and men wan o 5: y 1 A 1 pride, a deep sense of responsibility, and full appreciation of the tasks that lie ahead of us. Although this ship is lny responsibility, it is not my ship alone. lt is ours: yours and mine. Each one of us will have specific responsibilities. lf we carry out those to the best of our individual abilities we will produce, and be a part of, one of the most powerful lighting units in the world...one on which our Country can depend with pride. Every ollicer and man standing here in front of me is important to this ship, to me, and to the rest of his shipmates. Let us resolve together, with God's guidance, to restore IOWA to her place high among the great Hghting ships of history. If our Country feels that we must light again, this ship is going to be ready. If we are strong and ready in these United States, there may be no war! ,z ' .
