USS MARS (AFS- 1) The Number One Attack Food Stilp Persian Excursion 19SS ' 1989

Page 6 text:

' Hb W Commanding Officer ' s 25fhi Anniversary Message With the commissioning of USS MARS (AFS-1), 21 December 1963, a new era dawned in U.S. Navy logistics capabilities. All Combat Stores ships that followed were designated MARS class vessels. For twen- ty-five years the ships of this class have attempted, without success, to maintain the pace set by the Number ONE AFS. It is fitting that, as MARS celebrated her Silver Anniversary, she wore the Battle E as the best of her class in the Pacific Fleet. It is also fitting that, on 21 December 1988 MARS was not resting on past achievements. December 1988 found MARS steaming the mine lad- en waters of the Persian Gulf. Passing repeatedly through the Silk- worm missile envelope at the Straits of Hormuz, MARS commenced three months of operations during which she supplied 96% of all supply needs for American Naval Forces in the region. The unmatched performance of USS MARS in the Persian Gulf is a tribute to you. In years to come, you may take pride in your contribu- tion as a member of the Expedition that stabilized a volatile region of crucial importance to our nation. In addition, you may also claim a significant role in contributing to the rich history of USS MARS on her twenty-fifth anniversary. Congratulations as you made history in sup- porting U.S. foreign policy, and enhancing the legend of USS MARS.
