The date for commissioning of John Hancock (DD 981) is rapidly
approaching. The ship is making remarkable progress and has
performed well at sea during Builder's Trials on 15-16 December,
a mini-trial on 8 January, and most recently the acceptance
trial on 15-16 January. I think you will see a vast difference
since your last visit to the ship.
The night before commissioning the ships officers and I will
host a reception at Longfellow,House in Pascagoula. We would
be especially honored if Mrs. Turner and you could join us at
1900. Of course a formal invitation will follow later; how-
ever, I did want to extend this personal invitation, recogniz-
ing the need for advance warning in your busy schedule.
I will keep you advised of our progress and send you a Commis-
sioning Program as soon as they come off the press.
Sincerely,
LO--{ . R. C.. WLJENBUSCH
