LCDR. RAYMOND G. NEAL Navigation Officer Los Angeles, California t ' - ' i ' N A Y I G A T I .N LCDR. KENNETH L. BASS : {L Former Navigation Officer 1 March 1954 to August 1955 J ' ( A5 p . g- If ever you decide to take a ship through the island speckeled waters of the Formosa Straits, or negotiate the inland sea of Japan, sound senses would dictate that you have a navigator and a few quartermasters aboard that know what they ' re do- ing. Even if you don ' t wish to attempt these hazard- ous waters, and just head out across some 20,000 square miles of open seas, best you have a man shooting the stars that knows the difference be- tween the North Star and the Moon, else instead of ending up where you set out to go, perhaps Hong Kong, you ' ll probably be towed into some port in Australia. But on the Kenneth Whiting we worry little about such a mishap. We all go to bed every night certain that our Navigator, Lieutenant Commander Raymond G. Neal, and his crew of sailors at the helm know to the gnat ' s eye-lash where we will be at breakfast time. And Ihey won ' t take us over the top of It ' sei-Bitshi Shima getting us there, either. Made up of the Navigator and 8 enlisted men, this department ' s responsibilities are tremendous and around the clock. In their hands is the safety of the complete crew. But we feel quite comfortable in the knowledge that they will get us anywhere the Captain chooses for the ship to go. Frank G. Steinat, Woshinqtcn. D.C. Jack R. Driscoll, Cedar Rarids, Iowa Kevin E.
