SEVENTH FLEET CHANGE OF COMMAND A MAY 23. 1972 Vice Admiral James L. Holloway lll assumed command of the SEVENTH Fleet on May 23, 1972, aboard the Oklahoma City in the nearly still waters of the South China Sea. Much of the pageantry of the ceremony was missing, but nearby destroyers and cruisers firing off Vietnam provided an impressive background. The decorated flightdeck glistened in the early morning heat as'Vice Admiral William P. Mack turned overithe responsibility of 91,000 men, including 27,000 Marines, and 130 ships to VADM Holloway. Guest speaker for the occasion was Admiral Bernard A. Clarey, Commander-in-Chief U.S. Pacific Fleet, who flew in by helicopter especially for the ceremony. ADM Clarey spoke briefly in the wardroom to ship and staff officers prior to the ceremony and spoke to the crew on the messdecks before his departure. ADM Clarey presented VADM Mack with the Distinguished Service Medal for his skillful execution of responsibilities during his tour as Commander SEVENTH Fleet.
