CAPTAIN ' S CORNER EXCERPTS FROM BIG JOHN JOURNAL The past month has passed quickly here in the Western Pacific. We have met our commitments and in the process have been commended by higher authority on several occasions. While absence from home is the least desireable situation, rest assured that the sacrifices are being well invested as an operational JSM continues to represent our nation here in WestPac. Our visit to Hong Kong was superb. Tours were supported by the recreation fund and an active shopping, sightseeing schedule kept us all busy. Participation in MULTIPLEX o-77. an exercise involving, 17 ships, carrier operations, anti-air. surface and subsurface warfare, tested our vessel in this three dimensional environment. JSM stood tall, retaliating against numerous air attacks, initiating several attacks against opposing submarines and surface raiders. Our success is nurtured in being a shipmate, echoing a reputation of which we are proud, a group of professionals ready for the challenge and equipped for success. Ours was not a bed of roses or easy street; we worked hard, hours were long, and frustrations many. We missed the variety of port calls, the additional challenges of multi-dimensional warfare, craved the sound and smell of inflight projectiles and thirst for the continued quest of anti-submarine warfare. Having tasted early deployment operational success we were hungry for more. In retrospect, how fortunate we were to have passed thru that success, for it formed the necessary foundation to hurdle our Impossible Dream. A lesser group would have begun defeated and ended a shambles, not the crew of JSM. Our ranks were tight and together we completed an astounding accomplishment of an unprecedented combined material and engineering operabilitv inspecteion (INSURV OPPE). The measure of our success was frequently documented by our superiors as JSM left WestPac behind and routinely returned on an almost trouble free trans-Pacific voyage. I ' m forever thankful and proud of this country, my home and loved ones, my shipmates and this ship. JOHN S. McCAIN, Destroyer 36. Cdr. C. A. Anderson
