TO THE CREW OF USS SANCTUARY: The HSANCTUARY Experience has indeed been an unforgettable experience for all of us. in these pages we hope to portray the development of this unique ship and her unique crew as they grew from little more than -an idea in the planner's heads, to a fully functioning naval ship. As with the development of any new idea there were many frustrations and many difficulties, but the idea did grow into reality because the crew of SANCTUARY never failed to deliver when it was needed. On the day of recommissioning, in November 1972, SANCTUARY began her metamorphosis from a shipyard project into an operating ship. She also began her life as a newsworthy item in the eyes of the media. From that day forward every significant event on board received full press and television coverage. Nothing went unnoticed. From German Newspapers to the New York Times, and from Life Nlagazine to the pages of Parade, the story of our ship and our integrated crew was spread around the world. It was a unique and unprecedented experiment, this integration of women into the crew of a naval ship, and although the reporters and commentators never overlooked the humorous side, they also never failed to recognize the value of this experiment to the future.

SANCTUARY has passed many milestones and has surmounted many difficulties since Nov- f ' - ember 1972. She is successfully carrying out her mission, because she is manned by pro essuon l h know hovv to do their jobs whether in surgery, the boilers, the ships boats, the as vv o , maternity ward, the bakery, the storerooms, the retail store. The fact that the people doing these jobs are men or women is not the important thing. The important thing is that the job is being done, and being done efficiently and professionally. This is the essence of our experi- ment, and its success is due to the competance and sincerity of each and every member of our crew, regardless of sex, race, national origin, or religion. Well done to all hands, and very best wishes to all of you for good luck in the future. Sincerely, QZM T Thomas A. Rodgers Captain, U.S. Navy Commanding Officer
