  • Text of Retirement Speech Naval Station, Norfolk, Virginia 30 August 1968 Today I Complete 35 Years of Active Commissioned Service
    U.S. Atlantic Fleet, Norfolk, Virginia !434 Text of Retirement Speech Naval Station, Norfolk, Virginia 30 August 1968 Today I complete 35 years of active commissioned service. For me they have been satisfying years --- I have had the privilege of command ashore, in the air, and at sea. Perhaps of these, the most rewarding was that of leading a squadron of young, eager, and magnificently capable young pilots in combat. It was my good fortune to participate in what may well be recorded as the most significant military operation in history --- the atomic bomb attack on Japan. At that time we thought, and it may well be borne out, that if we, the world, exercise wisdom, this weapon might well provide the influence that can keep major powers from fighting each other toward total destruction. It was my privilege to command one of the most powerful and important Naval forces in the world --- our Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. For after all, and in spite of our trials in Southeast Asia, it is in Europe, the Atlantic, and the Middle East where the major confrontation of power between east and west exists. Then, most importantly of all, my service in the Navy has provided me the privilege of working for, and with, some of the finest people I shall ever know. Today closes this particular chapter of our lives for Nan and me. Tomorrow opens another. We anticipate it with eagerness and enthusiasm for many reasons, not the least of which is, that except for the first step, we have no firm idea at the moment where it will lead us.
