VVith these words all. the ship's department heads assemble in the Executive OHicer's stateroom for their daily conference of the activities of the last twenty-four, hours and tomorrow's forthcoming events. Acting as coordinator of all departments and divisions, the Exec has a tremendous in- fluence on the ship's elliciency. The Princeton has been an efficient ship and this is mainly due to the efforts of Commander Burns. He has been able to delegate responsibility, give proper back- ing, and wise consul to his subordinates, while at the same time maintain a high state of morale throughout the ship. 1 1 l E . 1 I'22

Cdr. Thomas R. McNeill THE CHAPLAI S The Navy recognizes the importance of religion in the lives of its men. On a ship of the Princeton's size, two chaplains are re- gularly assigned, one Roman Catholic and one Protestant. Their primary purpose is a ministry to the men in accordance with their faith. Both Sunday and daily services are heldg no man is denied an opportunity for attendance at divine service. The chaplains are equally responsible for religious minori- ties, and serve them as fully as possible. They are concerned, also, with matters effecting morale of the men. Both chaplains are mem- bers of the Recreation Council. They admin- ister the Library, the Ship's Band, and aid in planning recreational and entertainment acti- vities. Lcdr. James L. Carter
