C ' ommanding Officer G. A. T. Washburn Captain. U. S. Navy U.S.N. A. Class of 1923 As I look back on the momentous year of associating with the offi- cers and men of the U.S.S. Lunga Point, it is with a real sense of pride in our accomplishments. It is my hope that each and every one of us will always remember the spirit of the Lunga Point and carry that spirit on in the Navy or in civilian life. As your Commanding Officer, to each and every one o f you a WELL DONE ! 12

y Z Executive Officer E. R. Eastvvold Commander, U. S. Navy U.S.N. A. Class of 1932 This ship has been trained and has operated with the thought, If you are going to do a job at all, why not do it as well as po.ssiblc? as the dri ing spirit. As is usually the case, you have little tangible to show for your hard work other than the knowledge and personal satis- faction of a job well done. We have had our anxious and trying mo- ments; you have all worked long and hard, and you can all feel proud of the part you ha e played. I trust this book will scr e in later years to help you re-li -e your life on the Lunga Point and also to give you a certain amount of personal satisfaction in the record we have achieved. I have enjoyed being Shipmates with all of you. and I hope that you will always have the same soft spot in your heart for the Lunging Lunffa that I will have.
