U. S. S. PICTOR CAF-545 clo Fleet Post Office San Francisco, California This Cruise Book is dedicated to the officers and men of USS PICTOR QAF-545 who through dedication, selflessness, and devotion made the June to September 1968 cruise a complete success. A lions share of the success naturally goes to the devoted families through whose love and patience provided all of us with the impetus and inspiration to do a better job. USS PICTOR and crew have been a mainstay in the Western Pacific and they have served the U.S. SEVENTH Fleet in an outstanding and exemplary manner. The ship and crew continue to enjoy the reputation of being the FINEST AF IN THE PACIFIC FLEET . No tribute could be paid this ship and crew that would be fitting and suf- ficient to encompass the many hours of labor and toil under sometimes the most adverse conditions of weather and seas. Each and every one of you and your families can be justly proud of having served our beloved country and the U.S. Navy in the honorable dedi- cated manner which has been a tradition in our Navy since its founding. I will always be grateful for the hard working and dedicated crew who made PICTOR what it is today-- THE FINEST AF IN THE FLEET . I am equally proud of you parents, wives, or sweethearts who have so steadfastly supported the members of the crew during these deployments. To all of you and to the officers and men of PICTOR, smooth sailing and sincere best wishes for the future. Gratefully yours , 7 g if 2 ii 1 fr., 7. E.
