DEDIC TIO Slips of the United States Navy go to sea in order to accomplish a variety of tasks. Some of these ships perform well known functions while others sail quietly accomplishing many unsung duties. Regard- less of their immediate goal, they all share the same ultimate resolve: The continued preservation of America's command and control of the global seas. This high purpose is only accomplished by the unceasing dedication of the professional men who man the ships. The challenge is simply to assure that we will always be ready to meet and overcome any threat from any direction to the progress and security of our country. This cruise book is dedicated to that expert in the proud art of going to sea who makes all this possible: THE UNBEZATABLF Amir-'Rican SAILOR. james L. Cook, jr. Captain, U.S. Navy Commanding Officer
