C:. PTAIN WILIJ.WI RlCiHT HOLLING.SWORIH. U. S. NA V It would not only be inappropriate, but it would also be ill-mannered and ungrateful to close the cover of this book without saying a word about our present Skipper. Captain Hollingsworth relieved the com- mand of the Lunga Point on 5 July, bringing with him a record of achic cmcnt of which he should be justly proud. While it is true that he assumed command toward the closing days of the war and, consequently, had little oppor- tunity to prove his ability as a leader in battle aboard our ship, he has demonstrated his lead- ership in so many other ways that there is no doubt in the minds of the ofHccrs and men of the Lunga Point that he can rise to any occasion. With great pride in having served under C aptain Hollingsworth we say to him, Good- bye, Good I uck and many happy crui.ses. 240
