Commander Amedeo Henry Galvani gradu- ated from the U.S. Naval Academy in June 1942, and after a short tour as an instructor at the Officer Indoctrination School at Dartmouth Col- lege, reported for duty to the USS BURNS (DD 588) which made an enviable combat record in Pacific waters during World War II. At the war ' s end, CDR Galvani decommissioned the BURNS as Executive Officer. After further destroyer duty as Executive Officer of USS DENNIS J. BUCKLEY (DDR 808), he attended postgraduate school in ordnance engineering (chemical) from 1948 to 1951 at Annapolis and Lehigh University, receiv- ing a Master ' s degree in Chemistry from Lehigh. In July of 1951, he reported to the staff of Commander Carrier Division Four aboard the USS MIDWAY (CVA 41) for a 2-year tour as Gunnery and Readiness Officer. Duty at the U.S. Naval Ammunition Depot, Hawthorne, Nevada followed next until August 1956 when he took command of the LEWIS HANCOCK. v u« ' - -.. CDR Amedeo H.
