Ml. .. ,M ,.. COMMANDING GFFICER Captain JoHN W. o'NE1LL, USN As is inevitable in this wonderful Navy of ours, the time arrives when one must move on to a new job. That time has arrived for me. Regretfully, I will soon pass command of THOMASTON to Captain John M. Tierney who comes to the ship from a very responsible position in the Office of the Seo- retary of Defense. To him goes the command of a proud ship, a ship as good as the Navy men who man her. I will never forget them. --Captain O'Nei11 Qfrom his last familygramy 1 7 I CHANGE QF COMMAND KXNN CAPTAIN TIERNEY ARRIVES IN DANANG wxxwmfg gym ,N fllbkx ,.

'mn .msd '-'Qf,g- ' This is the Captain speaking. On the eve of our arrival back in San Diego, the best liberty port We're going to hit this cruise, I Want to say a few Words to all of you, and thank you for your very fine performance. This past deployment as you Well know has been long. We've been gone from home for quite some time. We've spent a lot of time at sea, done a lot of hard Work, and suffered through a lot of miserable Weather under very poor living conditions. We have really come through in fine shape. I'm extremely proud of the performance that we've turned in. We've made all of our com- mitments - we've made them with a real 'Can-do' spirit . . . Qto all hands via the 1MCy 72 E.'!,5l2Yl?,'E,TI!.
