U. S. S. SARSFIELD CDD-8371 CARE OF FLEET POST OFFICE NEW YORK. NEW YORK 09501 1 July 1971 FRGM THE CAPTAIN Uss SARSHELD CDD 8377, a 25 year old, FRAM 1, 2250 ws longe- hull, 710 KGearingD class Destroyer has ccm leted a deployment to the Middle East, lasting from 7 January 1971 to 29 June 1971. During these months, SARSFIELD steamed over 36,000 milesg operated in two oceans, three seas and four gulfsg visited seventeen ports in twelve countries and one Sheikdomg rounded the Cape of Good Hope twice and crossed the equator four times. While deployed, SARSFIELD was under the operational control of Commander, U.S. Second Fleet CVice Admiral Hillerl for two months, and Commander, U.S. Middle East Forces CRear Admiral Baynel for the remaining four months. Our mission was threefold: fl! to display courtesy and good will on our visits, C21 to provide relief, assist- ance or evacuation in areas where natural or man-made disasters might occur, and C35 to reaffirm United States commitments to those who trust and rely on our country. Our policy was to steam SARSFIELD with the greatest possible safety, perform our mission successfully and with professionalism, and to maintain a personal concern and interest at all levels for every man on board, and for his family. The 18 officers and 260 men of SARSFIELD accomplished our mission admirably. The crew was commended for attitude, operations, engineer- ing, gunnery, supply, shiphandling, communications reliability and various other outstanding achievements. The state of training and material condition of the ship were maintained in accordance with the highest standards, and each man on board may be justly proud of his contribution to the success of our cruise and the fine performance of SARSFIELD. Lieutenant fjunior gradel John G. Wood, Cruise Book Officer, and his industrious committee are commended for their exceptional efforts, evident in every page of this book. They well deserve our gratitude and appreciation. Finally, I should like to extend a personal acknowledgement to the men who really determined the Npersonality', readiness and effectiveness of SARSFIELD: every man in every space who maintained his equipment, performed his duties conscientiously, stood his watches alertly and took pride in his work, his shipmates and his ship. You performed an im- measurably valuable service to your country, your Navy and your ship in the long months of the deployment just concluded. For me, the privi- lege of commanding SARSF1ELD and serving with you during this cruise was, unquestionably, my most rewarding professional experience in over c uw 18 years service in our Navy. Commanding C W
