14 June 1954 To my Shipmates: r - Few, if any, naval vessels have been as fortunate as the good ship ROCHESTER during her fourth cruise to the Western Pacific. Since she left Long Beach shortly after New Year's Day she has crossed the equator for her first time, visited the principal ports of southeast Asia, and been chosen as flagship for Vice Admiral A.M. Pride, USN, Commander of the United States Seventh Fleet. Pearl Harbor, Manila, Singapore, Bangkok, Saigon, Yokohama, Osaka, Hong 'Kong, as well as Yokosuka and Sasebo - these are names which call to mind unique sights, new friendships in oriental countries, and happy days in the ROCHESTER. With the arrival of Admiral Pride and his staff the ROCHESTER became First Lady of the Fleet in a new and different way. It has been a busy cruise, one filled with hard work and effec- tive operations at sea. as well as liberty in a wide variety of new and interesting ports of call. We took pride in Ushowing the flagu and in being the representatives of the friendliness, dignity, and strength of the United States. Everywhere we went the ROCHESTER and her crew were in every respect a real credit to our nation. This Cruise Book will help you recall some of the things you have done, some of the people you have known, some of the places you have been in l954 while you helped man our ship with such distinction I know that each of you takes a personal pride in what we have accom- plished together during these five and a half months. In my thirty years of Naval service l have never been shipmates with a more enthusiastic, loyal group of men. Your devotion to duty has made our ROCHESTER the happiest, smartest, cleanest ship in the Eleet. I will always be very proud of the ship and of each of you. Well done! Good luck to all of you! , JOHN QUINN
