Early in the fall of 1972 the USS KING got un- derway for her 9th Deployment to WestPac. A separate entity from earth, sky or water. Many aboard were new, raw, untrained and untested: some salty as they come, standing by to form the raw, the old and the machinery into one self contained fighting unit. Behind were Sunday football games, the family-the reason we started. Ahead, the unknown, a challenge to be mettiand a job to be done. The pictures and words that follow tell the story of the men, the job, and the machinery. We hope that you appreciate the sacrifice of these men and of others lilce them now that we have at last come to a peace in Viet- nam, the place. May there be more understanding and kindness between men of all nations. And may there be no more places. Myke Zipf 15 gi
