II ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS USS AMERICA greatly appreciates quick and en- thusiastic response to work requests during Ma- sirah anchorage 22-23 April, 1983. Particular thanks to MRCS Milliman for his Can Do spirit- . . . . Commanding Officer, USS AMERICA (CV 66) As you begin the long journey to where family and friends anxiously await your return please convey to your officers and crew a most hearty and sincere well done. The support you have pro- vided for the fleet, and to the commands on Diego Garcia has been outstanding and is a testi- mony to their pride and professionalism. Each de- partment and work center providing support at this remote location can be justly proud of their accomplishments and the impression their fleet have made on the footprint of freedom. You were a team player and actively integrated into the island community, participating in numerous so- cial and recreation activities, as well as providing professional expertise. Thanks again for the job. You have been simply magnificent and a good neighbor. CAPT T.S. Renncr, USN, Com- manding Officer, Naval Support Facility, Diego Garcia. During 14-18 May ' 83 USS TRIPPE had an unscheduled tender availability with USS ACADIA for purpose of com- pleting extensive repairs to our damaged flight deck and helo hanger. ACADIA repair personnel worked around the clock under adverse concfitions to complete all repair work in time for TRIPPE ' s underway period on 18 MAY. In the time alloted and with what the tender had to work with, (lack of parts, i.e. hangar doors, mechanism for hangar ex- tension, safety nets and frame), the performance of the ACADIA was exceptional. Ingenuity, close supervision, cooperation, hardwork, and pride in performance were never in short supply during TRIPPE ' s availability. It was a pleasure working with a group of professionals who take genuine pride in servicing the fleet. The entire TRIPPE crew extends their gratitude for your assistance. . . Com- manding Officer, USS TRIPPE (FF 1075) The performanc e of ACADIA in support of Battle Group Golf was superb. IN three repair periods AC ADIA ( omplet- ed over 900 jobs. Durmg the Mobasa availability 10 ships were serviced and repair utilization was a noteworthy 130 p( rcent. At Masirah anc borage ov( r 100 jobs were (om- pletetJ in two days including major r( ()airs to USS SAVAN- NAFH and USS KIDD. Equally impressive was the Can Do spirit of ACADIA ' S service departments: Administration, Deck, Dental, Medical, Supply and Operations. ACADIA on h( r maiden de()loymenl is up to speed, she does it all. Operating with ACADIA has been rewarding in every re- spect. Request you convey to the crew a collective well done from Battle Group Golf. . Vice Admiral Conrad, Commander Cruiser Destroyer Group TWELVE. 148

Work quality was excellent, planning job progression and follow-up were all outstanding, due in large part to the interface provided by ACADIA ' s ship superinten- dents, MMC(SS) Honeck and MMCS(SS) Bates, ACA- DIA Liaisim Officer, LT CM. Drakeley, also provided outstanding assistance. All hands on board ACADIA were eager and ready to provide any service available. ACADIA provided truly outstanding services to USS BOSTON during an unanticipated availability. The en- thusiasm, professionalism and spirit of service shown by ACADIA during BOSTON ' S time alongside have been surpassed in this Commandig Officer ' s career exper- ience with repair ships. BOSTON greatly appreciates the services provided by ACADIA and looks forward to mooring alongside her again in the future. ...com- manding Officer, USS BOSTON (SSN 703) Since inchop of this Battle Group, services provided Task Group SEVEN ZERO point NINE units by ACADIA have been outstanding in every respect, from complex emergent structural work and major equipment repairs through basic hotel, Medical, Boating and Personnel services, no need has proved too difficult nor insignifi- cant, every requirement was met with a positive Can Do spirit and followed aggressively to successful com- pletion. Based upon performance, USS ACADIA could change her motto from, Service To The Finest, to Service By The Finest . Fair winds and following seas as you aepart the Indian Ocean. Well Done. RADM R.E. Moranville, Commander, Task Group SEVEN ZERO POINT NINE. SERVICE FROM THE FINEST On 11 May ' 83, men of the R-2 Division, USS ACADIA, completed a most satifactory repair to the anchor windlass of the SS OVERSEAS VALDEZ. The job was accomplished under adverse weather conditions, re- flecting the continued high standards of the naval ser- vice. The men arc a credit to the USS ACADIA and the United States Navy. The vessel ' s officers wish to extend a personal thanks for a job well done. Master, SS OVERSEAS VALDEZ. DONALD B. BEARY was tended by ACADIA in Diego Garcia where ninety-one jobs were accepted and nine- ty-one jobs were completed. All work was superbly done. ACADIA is a magnificent ship with a most enthu- siastic and capable crew. We salute Captain Finch and the crew of tne ACADIA for their dedication and ser- vice to the fleet. Commanding Officer, USS DON- ALD B. BEARY (FF 1085) Helicopter Support Squadron ONE, Detachment THREE wishes to extend its appreciation to the USS ACADIA and MRC Clifton of ACADIA ' s Machine Shop. He manufactured a special tool without which we could not replace a major drive shaft component, and without his expert assistance, the aircraft would have been non-mission capable for an extended period of time. CAN DO My crew and I would like to sincerely thank you and your ship ' s crew for all the repairs that you have pro- vided us. I would like to give a special thank you and a job well done to your whole diving team. The changing of our ship ' s propeller was both a challange and exper- ience for all people concerned. The USS ACADIA ' s crew seems to work hand in hand with each other, just like a well oiled machine. Again, thank you. Have a pleasant cruise to your next port, and may God bless your ship. Capt. ].L. Ambielli jr., USNS SACO (YTB- 796) 149
