w ith our ninth deployment now past, I can say with confidence that it was a resounding success. This is true for three reasons. First, even as Cold War assumptions have faded into the past, and the New World Order has come upon us, Fort Fisher has maintained her standing as an effective instru- ment of national policy. Fort Fisher made her first excursion into the Arabian Gulf on this deployment, and staged a significant amphib- ious landing at Kuwait City, little more than a year after the Iraqi occupation. Our Amphibious Ready Group proved to be an ideal force for humanitarian and other non-traditional missions, which are becoming increas- ingly important in today ' s world. We were among the first ships on the scene in East Africa, preceding Operation Restore Hope in Somalia. The second reason our deployment was so successful became clear only after our re- turn. In early 1993, we learned that we had won the coveted Battle Efficiency Award, and nearly all Mission Area Excellence Awards. The Battle E was a direct result of our performance during deployment, and it was a crowning achievement for the ship. We also managed to have a little fun while we were away. That ' s the third reason for our success. Despite the long hours and the demanding nature of our work, we found time for recreation and sightseeing, shipboard activities, and liberty ashore. We particu- larly enjoyed our visits to Hong Kong, Singapore, and Australia. I attribute our total success to the hard work and dedication of the crew. Every depart- ment played its part, and we distinguished ourselves in every way. Of course, it was our families and friends who provided the support and encouragement we needed to hold fast until the end. Part of the credit is theirs. I am very privileged to have led this crew, and I am proud of our achievements while on deployment and since our return. Fair winds and following seas to all! Commander John T. Nawrocki Commanding Officer USS Fort Fisher (LSD-40)
