K 2 ACK LEDGME l2.5 The compilation of a book of this sort results only from a com- bined effort, and the editor wishes to take this last opportunity to ex- press his thanks to those who gave so generously of their time and ability. I am deeply indebted to Chaplain Robert Heim whose masterful line drawings enrich these pages. His unllagging interest and energy were matters of the greatest personal satisfaction. Special thanks is also due Ltfjgj Norton M. Hall for his pene- trating and incisive article on the significance of sea power in the Medi- terranean. He was instrumental in the conception of the book. In his capacity as business manager, it was the unhappy task of Herbert Rammrath to remind a sometimes surly editor that deadlines were falling due, to coordinate schedules and maintain sub- scription lists. WOI Sigurd Moe. Nicklay PHl. and the staff of the ship's photo lab were untiring in their efforts and bore themselves with admirable stoicism under a barrage of last minute demands from the editor. Mr. George M. Strohecker of the PRIDEIXIARK PRESS brought his knowledge and experience to the production of the book for which we are both appreciative and grateful. The photographs accompanying Mr. Hall's article are by courtesy ol' The Marinerls lNIuseum, Newport News, Virginia. Finally, the editor wishes to express his personal thanks to the some two thousand oflicers and men of the Rrmdolph who bought this book on faith alone. 63?
