Cruiser St. Paul Gets New Skipper
After a full dress inspection and eight months of duty in the Western Pacific, Capt. Irvin S. Harman was relieved as commanding officer of the USS St. Paul by Adm. Allan L. Reed during a ceremony in Long Beach Harbor. The St. Paul, commissioned in 1944, has logged more miles than any other heavy cruiser now in active service. Admiral Reed assumes duties as Chief of Staff to Taiwan Defense Command in the Far East.
