This will permit the ship to participate in events sched- uled for Sunday as well as on the Fourtk, and I assure that all hands on board will enjoy doing this.” Capt. James R. Pahl, handsome skipper of the Pasadena, joins in th admiral's enthusiasm. He writes, in part: “Enclosed you will find the infor- mation . I was told you would like We all look forward very much to our forthcoming trip to Juneau and feel that it is a dis- tinct honor for the F dena and its crew to be designated to be ia Juneau the Fourth of July.” The Pasadena is usu: ship of the Command Cruiser Division Five, but during the per- iod of this visit will not be carrying the Division Commander.
