,The purpose of LEXINGTON is clear and the hopes and prayers of 3000 men are that their skills will not be needed, that peace will preclude our use. Until then, this aircraft carrier will sail. Power for' peace in the Paciflc spells Navy. . The Army is here a small contingent in Korea: the Air Force' is here giant bases in Japan, Okinawa, Philippines 7- but the bulktof the iob is Navy. The Navy's primary means of destructive deliver- ance is the carrier, that is why LEXINGTON came to Westpac. ' 'A d The spirit of LEXINGTON is elusive. I-low her men live and feel, a part of the flghtfor free- dom, but apart from their families. Black shoes and brown shoes working together. Men from every State and then some working at an un- believable' assortment of. iobs. C I The purpose of this cruise book is to catch n V a little of LEXlNGTON'S pur-A. pose and spirit. It is a momento, . a picture book of what we did . ' 1 and what we saw during the 1961-2 'E A Westpac cruise the people and the ports. lt is an attempt to show how each division works to make its 'department run, and how each department lends itself to the cohesive whole. We hope the resultucomes close to the design, that you find this bookiboth informative and entertaining. ' ' ' A g Tokyo ' ' M. A. Gottesman March 1962 ' R-F-35099. This book is t dedicated 'io the men of Lexington A A ., ' who made our ship 'operationally ready and an effective unit of the Seventh Fleet and wha. sailed me Blue alms: an Westpac 'waters during the 1961-20 Cruise
