Ensign Stephens Moyer, I-IMI EDITORIAL STAFF: 'The men shown on this page began work on this book one day out ot' Long Beach. Their only regret is that the latter part of the cruise could not be ered in the book. Because ot the time involved to print the book in Sasebo where we could avail ourselves ol: inexpen- sive printing costs, the staff Felt that it would be advantageous to delete the latter part ol: the cruise. This would enable the book to be sold at a more reasonarble price and also have the books back before a large part ol: the crew scatters when we return to Long Beach.
