1 During our tour in the Western Pacific the TORTUGAihas served a vital role under Commander Naval Forces Far East and Commander Seventh Fleet. Our assignments have included a wide variety of tasks and they have been accomplished in an outstanding manner. We have had the opportunity to visit new foreign ports and have enjoyed our association with many different peoples-Japanese, Koreans, Chinese,, Okinawans, Philippinos, and Taiwanese. We are now underway for our homeport as a well knit, highly trained and combat ready ship, fully prepared to play our part as an assault unit of the fleet. The ship has had its 'gdownsn as well as its ups but the final results are most gratifying, the TORTUGA has a high standing among those ship considered in the Amphibious Squadron Three best ship competition. I am proud of these accomplishments and, with appreciation, extend well done to all hands. L.L. DAVIS Jr. Commander, U.S. Navy Commanding Officer

The ship has had a well balanced operating schedule and interesting individual as- signments. Though We have steamed over twenty thousand miles, no major casualty has been experienced. The ports visited have proved interesting and the time spent in them has allowed more than just a brief ulookseev. Most satisfying has been my chance to Work with a group of men who have shown their ability to shoulder a Work load out of proportion to their number and, even under the most strenuous operating conditions, keep the TORTUGA a proud ship. As this Cruisebook is going to press, may I bid each of the men of the TORTUGA best luck during their future careers- whether in or out of the service. Our effort, this cruise, speaks Well for itself, We have continued the best tradition of the Navy. HENRY T. BUGG i Lieutenant Commander, U.S.N. Executive Officer
