With profound sadness, I have resigned as a member of the Naval Institute's professional staff and as the editor of this fine publication with this issue of Proceedings . I have had the opportunity and the pleasure to contribute in a series of positions that matched well with my sense of the Naval Institute's duty and service to the profession of arms. It has been a wonderful run, and I depart with fond memories of some significant accomplishments and many small ones, and with few regrets.
