if RLEIGH BURKE DESTRGYERME Admiral Burke once said at the launching of his namesake, Let no one doubt that this new destroyer is indeed ready to do business in great waters. With the first combat systems and engineering plant trials complete, the ship has established a great reputation of enthusiasm and professionalism. This book is dedicated to those men on the pages that follow. The men who were there when the going was rough and the stress palatable. They hung in and made U55 ARLEIGH BURKE what it is today, a ship that was Built to Fight and is Fast and Feared. These men have made a lasting contribution to the Navy, the security of the United States, and to the entire ARLEIGH BURKE class of destroyers. There is no tangible form of recognition other than a sincere thank you and a salute for a job well done.
