Q COMMANDING OFFICER JUNE 11,1965 - May 7,1966 CAPTAIN James B. Cain 'll shall always remember my tour aboard YORKTOWN as the most rewarding and enjoy- able of my life. Commanding the Fighting Lady is to me, like compressing the past, present and future into one time-frame, thus allowing me to be a part of this great Lady's entire naval history. She was the platformthat saved my life in i944 and was my major sea command in 1965. She has captured my heart for as long as l shall live. The single, most outstanding feature that makes any ship great is her crew. Having had the pleasure and privilege of serving with this crew, it is not difficult to see why 'The LaClY' remains the greatest ship that ever put to sea. lt is my sincere belief that no finer group of men have ever been assembled under one platform of teak and steel. May the YORKTOWN men of future years look back with pride as long as any ship bf-BUYS The P 0UCl name- MOV They, GS l, feel the satisfaction of having contributed to the can-ClO 5Plf'li Oi The YORKTOWNS of the past. My eternal thanks to destiny for allowing me toserve with this, the finest crew in YORKTOWN history. Annan-lbelnld 'WP

ill enloy- -egenl enllri nmflfli ing llc: 3 l rOUPC P bel' Connie .O 56l'l W 1 CCMMANDING CFFICER MAY 7, 1966 CAPTAIN W. M. McCulley We have come to the end of another long and tedious Westpac cruise. Our mission of anti-submarine warfare was nota glamorous one butour presence was vital. During our stay on Yankee Station we answered the call to perform search and rescue missions on many occasions, often they resulted in rescuing downed pilots from hostile waters. Although l did not come aboard until about mid-cruise, your reputation was well known to me. Since coming aboard, l have come to appreciate first hand the professionalism and team- work of the crew ofthe Fighting Lady and her Air Group. Not once has she failed to meet any and all challenges that came her way. The South East Asia Treaty Organization Exercise surpassed all expectations for a suc- cessful People-to-People program. We acquired many new friends and renewed old bonds of friendship while in ports of call a CVS rarely visits. In closing, I wish to take this opportunity to extend my heartfelt thanks for a successful cruise to a well deserving crew. May On Station '66 bring fond memories in future years. wfffffk af
