In the last twelve months innumerable changes have taken place in the lives of the crew of this ship. Many have been awakened to a new sense of regard for his responsibilities and for his fellow man. During this long or short year, as each may see it, many enduring and true friendships have been formed. As an aid for the continuation of these and for fireside reminiscence in the years of peace to come, this first yearbook of the U.S.S. Tazewell is given.
