In 1983 BIDDLE's lgyyy scyy .rf C i achievements and hard work were recognized in several areas. First, our Type Commander, COMNAVSURFLANT, placed BIDDLE in the Minimum Inspection Program CMINTJ in recognition of our high standards and readiness record. Secondly, BIDDLE was riil i,,1 selected as the best conventional cruiser in the Atlantic Fleet through the award of the lij lir lpl ,gg,,, Battle Efficiency E . Following that, the Commander in Chief, U. S. Atlantic Fleet ssgll awarded BIDDLE the Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy for the ship or aircraft squadron with ytyysisgr the greatest improvement in combat readiness during FY-83. These are significant li. achievements considering that there are several hundred ships and squadrons in the fciiyr S ltii ecpyl ,tiil Atlantic Fleet. 'f ltr'ir , . iglg . ,,.r, feC,i T In order to gain this recognition a ship must have a crew that is dedicated, c,,r ffl' r,,i,, professional and have the desire to excel. The men on the succeeding pages have these qualities. I am most impressed by their team spirit and enthusiasm and am proud to have yigcr 1 them as shipmates. U. S. Navy sailors have been tested on many occasions throughout our if rilili history. These men are ready! U - Sincerely yours, ZZ lsyyr A' R. G EZ ff?
