1»» Commanaer in Ciiiei IniteJ iiaic- I icil ' i. Hk-ft 3 December 19f)6 The commissioning of a new ship into the U.S. Navy always is a great day, for this significant event means that the world ' s strongest Navy will be made even mightier. The modern missiles, guns, and torpedoes of the USS JOUETT will be used wisely and well in the pursuit of peace and the defense of freedom. You, as Commanding Officer of the USS JOUETT, will also be responsible for upholding a fine Navy tradition. Admiral Jouett, for whom this ship is named, distinguished himself time after time in the War Between the States and later in positions of command in the Fleet . Furthermore , the two previous destroyers named JOUETT fought well in two World Wars. I am confident this JOUETT will conduct herself in the same illustrious fashion. You are charged with the task of upholding these traditions in the finest manner possible. I know you will. As you join the Pacific Fleet, I wish you and the USS JOUETT a fair wind and a following sea. t CHIEF OF NAVAL OPERATIONS 18 November 1966 Dear Captain, On the USS JOUETT ( new command a very rewar I finest in the Admira t Ingui conduc the ba before necess place am con of you chal le t IS y ships fleet 1 Jame shed h t as C ttle o you t ary to in t he f ident and y nge su occa DLG and ding our in wi 1 s E. imse omma f Mo o ge ena fie tha our cces sion 29) , wish tour pri vi the N 1 per Joue If in nding bile nerat ble J et is t thr crew, slull of the commissioning of I congratulate you on your you, your officers and men of dut y . lege to command one of the avy.
