W I Y V' Y ' .Y ,..1.n.ui.4-..,.gL....,.. -., , M, Hr , g V Y Dear Macdonough Family and Friends, The Guided Missile Destroyer USS MACDONOUGH KDDG-399 sailed from Charleston in September 1990, soon after the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait. During Operation Desert Shield!Storm, Macdonough enforced United Nations resolutions within the gulf, intercepting shipping destined for or departing from Iraq. The crew intercepted 519 merchant vessels. Additionally, Macdonough served as a primary air defense escort for the battleship USS WISCONSIN, and provided early warning of air attack and long range anti-air protection for the Multi-National Force. We controlled both land and carrier based fighter and attack aircraft patrolling the entire Persian Gulf region, as well as safely directing air-to-air refueling operations between 368 tanker aircraft and 2,475 combat aircraft. We began our voyage home to Charleston on 15 February 1991. While transiting the Red Sea, we rescued three crew members of a CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter operating from the Supply Ship USS SEATTLE. The helicopter developed engine problems and was forced to ditch. On 22 March 1991, we returned to Charleston and a wonderful homcoming that we will never forget! It was great coming home, seeing three thousand people on the pier. Of special note to me was the courage and professional dedication displayed by each of the crew dining Desert Shield!Storm. Because of your hard work we were 100076 ready to shoot guns or missiles at all times, with the propulsion necessary to get the job done. We certainly learned the price of defending freedom. Through it all you have given me your best. Because of you I am proud to say that I am the Commanding Officer of the USS MACDONOUGH. Thank-you Shipmates. Sincerely, Grey A.
