AND OUR ATLANTIC FLEET FRIENDS ON MARCH 1, 1983, THE MEN OF TEXAS LEFT THEIR HOMEPORT OF NORFOLK, VIRGINIA ON AN AROUND THE WORLD JOURNEY THAT WAS TO COVER 62,000 MILES. THE SHIP VISITED THE CON- TINENTS OF EUROPE, AFRICA, ASIA AND AUSTRA- LIA AND SAILED IN ALL THE WORLD'S OCEANS EXCEPT THE ARCTIC. THE CREW ENJOYED A DE- GREE OF SUCCESS THAT IS UNUSUAL AND DEVEL- OPED PRIDE, PROFESSIONALISM AND SELF-RELI- ANCE IN THE ETGHT MONTHS THAT FOLLOWED. THE MEN WHO MADE THE ENTIRE CRUISE CROSSED THE EQUATOR FOUR TIMES AND OPER- ATED WITH THE SECOND, SIXTH, SEVENTH AND THIRD FLEETS. PRIOR TO ARRIVAL IN THE NEW HOMEPORT OF SAN DIEGO, CALIFORNIA EACH OF US WAS CHALLENGED PROFESSIONALLY AND PERSONALLY IN WAYS THAT WE NEVER HAD BEEN BEFORE. WE KNOW THAT THE STRENGTH AND RESOLVE DEMONSTRATED BY OUR CRUISE HAS MADE THE WORLD A BETTER AND SAFER PLACE FOR DEMOCRACY. THIS ,BOOK IS OUR RE- CORDING OF THIS HISTORIC VOYAGE OF THE OVER FIVE HUNDRED MEN OF TEXAS AND EX- PRESSES OUR PRIDE IN OUR DIPLOMATIC, PRO- FESSIONAL AND PERSONAL TRIUMPHS. WILLIAM D. ANDRESS, JR
