gm' J X X I I 5 -11,5 in 9'64',,xl' ,,, The ship has celebrated its first anniversary in Commission. Many of the ship's crew can remember when it seemed as though they would never see the ship, much less be able to put it through its paces. Those first confusing days of Pre-Commissioning training seem , to many , as having taken place years ago. All of the men came out to San Diego anxious to find out what it was going to be like to serve on a brand new destroyer. For many of the crew, this would be their first experience at sea , while for the o1d salts this would be their second, third or maybe their last ship. But, for everyone , from the S Old Man on down, it would be their first time on board the USS PAUL F. FOSTER. They were the Plankowners . These men were given a job to do that must be considered a great honor for any Navy man. These selected individuals would play a part unique to many a Navy career, for they would be involved in the birth of a Navy Man 'O War. Their efforts, knowledge , dedication, as well as their very person- alities, would be called upon to give the ship that undefinable spirit that would carry it throughout its years of service . To capture and preserve that spirit, if only in a minute way, is the purpose of this book. It is an attempt to illustrate how these men took the ship's motto, HONOR, VALOR, SERVICE, and forged it into their own standard of excellence . This book is dedicated to them , the Plankowners.
