We should always keep in mind the reasons for our cruise. The Sixth Fleet, of which we were but a small part, is a modern well-balanced fleet. It includes attack carrier forces, am- phibious landing forces, and sustaining auxiliary ships which make it possible for the fleet to operate indefinitely at sea, without shore bases in the Mediterranean. The Sixth Fleet is an instrument of national policy and power, whose goals are peace, stability, and good will. Its exercises ancl maneuvers are designed for self-education and for perfection of working relationships with our friends and our allies. Its aims '.3lJ:,':11- '- . -:si :-:V-, H -.12 .- x .

U. S. S. LINDENWALD ILSD-bl CARE OF FLEET POST OFFICE NEW YORK, NEW YORK The success in maintaining this ship as an alert, ready unit of the Amphibious Force, Mediterranean was due entirely to the skill and devotion to duty by officers and men of LINDENWALD. LIN- DENWALD met every commitment with determination from the most complicated landing to the smallest orphanage party. I am iust as proud of the good will distributed in the I7 Mediterranean ports visited by LINDENWALD sailors as I am of the professional com- petence displayed in carrying out our primary mission. ,J.
