VISITING VIP ' S JOHN RODGERS hosted some of the most influential people in the entire United States Naval community during our operations off Beirut. Our high visibility ' , operational tempo, and fine reputation made JOHN RODGERS The Destroyer for all to see. The Secretary of the Nav ' , the Honorable John Lehman, visited August 17th and was extremely impressed with the crew. After touring the ship he addressed ship ' s company on the foc ' sle, commending us for a job well done. During one of the most tense times in Beirut, the President ' s Special Envoy to the Middle East, Robert McFarlane, flew to JOHN RODGERS. The first cease fire agreement had just been signed and he made the point that our highly accurate gunfire a few days earlier had convinced the warring factions to attempt the road to peace. Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral James D. Watkins, also paid us a visit off Beirut. His strong praise for our fine performance was inspirational to all and for many of us it was our first glimpse of the Navy ' s highest ranking officer. Other dignitaries included the Commandant of the Marine Corps, General Paul X. Kelley, and Commander, Naval Surface Forces Atlantic, Vice Admiral Briggs.
