S ..--ff X f sw... The story of the USS Warren, her tales and her travels, cannot be told by just one author, nor in just one volume. Her real story lies in the thousand-and-one everyday incidents Which made our spirits soar or left us sadm-in the secret thoughts that every man carried through the day and cherished into the night- in the lonelinessthat haunts and the joyful cama- raderie that cheers men Who live their days together. Not in this book is the story Written out, but each picture to be seen and each line to be read Will have a meaning, and will some day revive many memories-the forgotten and remembered friends and nightly card games - beer on a sandy beach and liberty in a friendly city - the dreaded monot- ony of drills and quick fear-flecked thrills of action- the cruel emptiness between the letters from' loved ones and the dizzy happiness of 'fgoing home at last. So in this book there is a story. And there can be no story truer or .more real for the reader than that written by his own memories. K S 4 5 Q 3 if x g it ix E 5 , K a 'E 'S :Li
