R A)MIRAL RUSSELL RANDOLPH WAESCHE EVER before has the Coast Guard presented such broad horizons of opportunity to its newly commissioned officers as it does today. Under an enhghtened and active leadership, the Service, in recent years, has had its functions clarified and extended; the many varied units have been better organized and coordinated; the personnel and facilities have been enlarged; relationships with other government agencies, mari- time interests, and the general public have been improved. Each of these changes has involved a tremendous amount of foresight, plan- ning, supervision, and hard work. Especially is this evi- dent when one considers the difficulty of departing from tradition, of changing from processes which have gone on Muich the same year after year. It is fortunate that the leadership of this work was in thehandsof a man of exceptional intelligence, courage, and fore- sight, else such difficult goals v ( uld never have been achieved. For his success in building a greater Coast Guard, for his personal effort and industry, for the kindness and under- standing with which he has always exercised his command, we do respectfully dedicate this book to Rear Admiral Russell Randolph Waesche, Commandant of the Coast Guard.
