l Now that we have come to the last page of our book, it can be seen that ours was neither an ordinary cruise nor an ordinary ship. However, everything that could be told is not related on these pages. But each page will 'remind us of our own personal experiences, about which volumes could be written, andto our friends the book will serve as a panorama of our travels. Each of us who made the cruise not only visited places around the globe, but we also got better acquainted with each other and came to feel that USS VALLEY FORGE was home. We have gained much from our personal associations with our shipmates. A In retrospect, we're glad that we had the privilege of showing our country's flag to the world, and hope that in some small measure we have contributed toward international good-will. We wish a bon voyage to those who follow us in similar cruises.
