COMMANDING OFFICERS

NOTE: I am trying to confirm the change of command date of September 1, 1975 between Cmdr. Wright and Cmdr. Lund. My recollection is that Cmdr. Lund was in command when I reported aboard in May 1976. While official records support this, the deck logs indicate a change of command date of September 1, 1976.
