Standing boldly at the base of the shield is the Lion of St. Mark which refers to the Admiral's leadership as the Commander in Chief of Allied Southern Forces Europe. The fess and wavy bar directly above the Lion of St. Mark suggest flowing Water, passing Warships, and small land areas reminiscent of the Northern Solomon Islands Where Admiral Briscoe commanded the USS DENVER in WWII. It was here, during a thirty six-hour bat- tle With enemy naval forces, that the Admiral's skill and courage as a ship's Captain were most significant. He assisted in the sinking of five enemy Warships, damaging four others and routing the enemy's surface forces. DENVER'S guns had barely fired their last salvo when sixty seven dive bombers attacked her. Under the Admi- ral's command, the ship reacted efficiently, downing seventeen enemy planes and thvvarting the raid. Atop the shield is a crest symbolic of further achievement in a long and successful career. The trident, sym- bol of Triton, ruler of the seas, refers to the U.S. Naval Academy, Where the Admiral served as midshipman, instructor, and department head. The flash represents Prometheus' gift of science to mankind and alludes to Admiral Briscoe's pioneering and development of modern electronics in the navy. The cross refers to the Navy Cross Admiral Briscoe received for his actions in the North Solomon Campaign. The crest is completed by the Taeguk, which denotes the Admiral's Far East Naval Command. The entire coat of arms is aptly summed up by the ship's motto, EFFICIENCY AND VALOR, given to the ship by former Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Robert Carney as a tribute to his close friend. It is this proud tra- dition which serves as a standard for the USS BRISCOE, and its destroyer sailors today. ADMIRAL ROBERT T PEARCE BRISCOE .7 - Q fn?

She is the fifteenth destroyer in a series of 31 SPRUANCE CLASS destroyers. BRISCOE bears the name of Admiral Robert P. Briscoe. Admiral Briscoe served with distinction during WWI, WWII, and the Korean Conflict. He retired in 1959 as a four star Admiral. USS BRISCOE, a highly versatile multi-mission combatant, was originally devel- oped as an Anti-Submarine Warfare IASVVJ destroyer. Although submarines have grown quieter over the years, BRISCOE's ASW capability possesses the cutting edge technology of the ANXSQQ-89 suite. Other combat areas in which BRISCOE excels, include engaging other surface ships, providing naval gunfire support to ground forces, and striking long-range land targets. With the installation of the 61 cell verti- cal Launch Missile System, BRISCOE now possesses the most sophisticated and lethal weapons in the U.S. arsenal, including Tomahawk and Harpoon missiles. Since commissioning, USS BRISCOE has deployed to the Arabian Gulf, the Indian Ocean, and the Mediterranean, Baltic, and Black Seas. BRISCOE has served as a member of the Standing Naval Forces Atlantic, and sailed around South America during UNITAS XXX. BRISCOE participated in OPERATION URGENT FURY for the liberation of Grenada, operated with the Multi-National Peacekeeping Forces off the coast of Lebanon, as well as in the Baltic Operations of 1990. BRISCOE also partici- pated as a member of Middle East Forces, deploying twice to the North Red Sea while conducting Maritime Interdiction Operations in support of U.N. Sanctions against Iraq. BRISCOE established a U.S. record of 275 merchant vessel boardings in the North Red Sea during the first of her two deployments to the area. In March 1994 during the second, BRISCOE responded to a distress call from an Egyptian passen- ger feriy and acted as the on-scene commander for the ensuing rescue efforts of over 500 passengers, coordinating the assistance of numerous vessels in the area. BRISCOE deployed to the Mediterranean and Black Seas in 1996, and the Arabian Gulf in September of 1998. USS BRISCOE sailed 33,000 miles and conducted seven MEDEVACS and 1,032 hours of mishap-free flight operations in support of U.N. Sanctions. In June 1999, BRISCOE was once again in the international headlines when she was tasked with conducting the solemn burial at sea of John F. Kennedy, Jr. BRISCOE then deployed June 2000 for a six-month Mediterranean cruise as Destroyer Squadron 22 Flag-Ship and the ready strike presence off the coast of Croa- tia. Spirits were sobered, yet diligent duty as a strike force did not wane when BRISCOE'S DESRON 22 Sister-Ship, USS COLE, was attacked in the port of Yemen. Routine workups of the Inter-deployment Training Cycle of 2001 were also inter- rupted by an urgent need to deploy and defend the Atlantic Coast of the United States as the World Trade Center attacks demanded BRISCOE'S immediate readiness to respond. In February 2002, BRISCOE operated with 32 other nations during the NATO exercise Strong Resolve in the Baltic Sea. On December 5, 2002, USS BRISCOE got underway for her final deployment to the Mediterranean and Red Seas to serve proudly during OPERATIONS ENDURING FREEDOM and IRAQI FREEDOM. This book commemorates her final deployment. 11 A A a Q , W a W CD Q Combat Systems Department LT Nathan York, CSO 1 , X , ' , V' '- ' A f f ,Q L 1, -' 'A .7 f 4 ' ,',. -, .y g ffwf' , V 4 4 QL? fi f -'ij f ' 1' , f 1 5 W Wa M 4 f af f 12?
