EXECUTIVE UEEIEIEWS SlHlEHlEfll Xxx mx My first impression of the Tazewell was not too favorable, as I approached her over the waters of San Francisco Bay on the afternoon of June 6, 1945, reporting for duty as Executive Officer. Her sides were in sad condition, with patches of rust showing everywhere. It must be admitted that my heart sank a bit. On stepping aboard, however, it became apparent that work was being done to put the ship back into respectable condition. The decks were newly painted and interior spaces had a fresh, clean appearance. My hasty opinion was just as hastily revised, and I immediately knew I was going to like her. It did not take long to find out her rusty sides were due to a five months sojourn in the Southwest Pacific area and Okinawa where no opportunity arose to primp the lady up because of the operations schedule. One of the best compliments that can be paid a ship is to say she is a happy ship. My first wardroom meal convinced me the Tazewell was in that category. The whole atmosphere was one of friendliness and good nature. I knew at once I had a swell bunch of officers as shipmates. The Commanding Officer, I was delighted to find, was a former merchant mariner of many years standing, and in addition was an experienced naval officer. One instinctively sensed he knew his way around. I was given every break in the world in adjusting myself to this new tough job to which I had been ordered. It took longer to learn the enlisted personnel, of course, but almost immediately one could feel that here was an outfit with terrihc morale. Everything since I came aboard has confirmed that impression. In conclusion I can only say I'd stack the Tazewell up against any similar craft in the Fleet in any kind of competition and confidently expect her to win hands down. ,,53NXXXXNXxxx .,xxxX MXkxxx -,xx N- XKXN' XXXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX xx
