We have prepared this cruisebook to further the remembrance of the 1961-62 cruise of Task Unit 73.2.1 composed of USS MAURY QAGS-165, and USS SERRANO CAGS-241, Coastal Survey Team 1-62, and Unit 33-62 of Helicopter Utility Squadron ONE. The ships, the team, and the detachment had varied missions, but they all added up to a survey of the Gulf of Thailand. We were ably assisted in the 8CC0mPliShm9flt Of OUT mission bY the splendid cooperation of the personnel of the Hydrographic Department of the Royal Thai Navy, who arranged for our port visits in Bangkok, for stationkeepers and for liaison officers aboard MAURY, SERRANO and Coastal Survey Team 1-62. ' However, you the Men of MAURY, made Maury's portion of the survey a success. It was through your knowledge, devotion to duty and wholehearted cooperation that we were able to accomplish our mission, to complete 33,500 miles of surveylines and to keep the ship, helicopter, sound boats and Lorac stations in proper material condition and readiness. I am sure as you scan this book in the years to come, it will bring back many fond memories of a good deployment and fine shipmates. I am very proud to have had the privilege of sailing a- board MAURY with you, one of the finest crews a commanding officer could want. W WW W. J. McNULT Captain, U.S. N vy
