30l?£WOlZ2) l r this cruise book we of the KAWISHIWI attempt to show what went on during our deployment to the Western Pacific in the fall and winter of 1962-63. We attempt to show the man at his work and on this time off. We attempt to show the accomplishment of our mission— replenishment at sea. We do this so that those we leave at home may have an idea how the men of KAWISHIWI occupy the many hours, weeks, and months away from home. The only thing we cannot show to our satisfaction in this cruise book is the ups and downs, the joys and the heartaches, the hap- pinesses and sorrows that all men feel at different times. This is only known in the heart of each ind vidual end must remain locked there until he can once again return to those he loves. Then, with the help of this book, which he holds under his arm as he comes home, he can perhaps recall the moments of exhilaration and happiness or the moments of despair and loneliness he may have felt at different times throughout the long period away from home.

n i m This bcok is a story of the lighter side of the deployment of KAWISHIWI to the Seventh Fleet during the period September 162 to February 1963. Not told in these pages is the vital role that KAWISHIWI, and other units of the Pacific Fleet, are playing in the power struggle between the Free World and the Communistic Block. The presence of ships of the United States Navy in the Western Pacific gives comforting assurance to our allies and the uncommited nations that our country is solemnly dedicated to preserving the freedoms to which we believe all men are entitled. Furthermore, they serve as a constant reminder to all countries, who would threaten the values we treasure, that we pos? the strength and determination to fight, if necessary, for our ideals. It is a privilege and honor for us to serve our country as a part of the greatest Navy in the world. How well we have done is measured by the reputation which KAWISHIWI has established. I commend each of you for the personal sacrifice you h-ve made during this long absence from your families and friends, and for your professional performance of duty during this deployment. F. T. COOPER CAPTAIN. U. S. NAVYY
