The Torch Is Passed. . This is the record of the USS JOHN F. KEN NED Y's third Mediterranean cruise. It is also the odyssey of an idea - a spirit - that is associated with a man who was named John Kennedy. It has been five years since the JFK was commissioned in Newport News, Virginia, and it has been nearly 30 gears since a young Navy lieutenant won fame for his actions in t e Solomon Islands. A lot has happened since then. But in a way, some important things have remained the same: for instance, wherever the JFK sails, people associate the ship and its men with John Kennedy and what they think he stood for. One of the things that John Kennedy stood for was the young people of the United States and, indeed, the youth of the world. generation that saw him live and die sails today aboard ENNEDY. This time, they left Norfolk in December. People were sad, some of them, for the same reasons that people are always sad when a ship goes to sea, to leave home and family seemed bad and in a way it was. But the peotpeles of the Mediterranean - Greek, Spanish, Italian - reminded t crew of the JFK that we are all part of a larger family and that we are all truly in the boat together. This is the story of young men working hard and havinilsome fun. This is not all of the story, but some of it as they tell it. aybe the spirit stands out. . .
