CONGRATULATIONS!!! FROM COMSIXTHFLT: As you head for home after a demanding SIXTHFLT Deployment, you have my thanks and appreciation for the tremendous support you have provided. Your professional performance - from excellent port visits, and V.I. P. embarkations, to Steller opera- tions during National and allied exercises - has been the source of pride for me. You have contrib- uted greatly to the sustained readiness of the SIXTHFLEET to support Naval objectives. Congratu- lations and well done for a superbly executed deployment. FROM CTG TWO FOUR: As you depart to continue your journey home, I want you, your offi- cers and crew to know that your performance throughout the deployment to the Mediterranean proved you to be a SUPERSTAR. Your accomplishments were many, including the highly visible mission as Eagle Control in the Aegean during Dragon Hammer and your extensive duties as mis- sile escort for CTF 61 during the Eastern Med contingency operations. It was noted with distinct pleasure that CHARLES F. ADAMS knows how to shoot her missiles - first time, every time. Your crew distinguished itself during your highly successful port visits. Your most recent success in the OPPE was in itself impressive and exemplifies the obvious pride and determination of your crew. CHARLES F. ADAMS is the oldest member of our Battle Group, but there isn ' t anyone I would rather have in company. FROM COMNAVSURFLANT: Congratulations and welcome home. You have done an out- standing job across the board of representing our Nation ' s interests.

I ' m mighty proud of you. FROM COMDESRON THREE SIX: With Med 1 -87 drawing to a close, I want each CHUCKEY DEUCE team member to know that I count it among the highest of privileges to have served with you and your top of the line crew during the past six months. I commend you all. Your opera- tional performance has been superb and your name synonymous with success. Of particular note were your operational roles as Eagle Control during Dragon Hammer and the superior efficiency with which you conducted your missile shoot in National Week. The successful completion of your OPPE and your exceptional representation as the country ' s and Navy ' s ambassador abroad serve only to highlight the versatility which allows you to claim FIRST IN CLASS, SECOND TO NONE. You ' ve proven to be a superb member of the TOP OF THE LINE Squadron. FROM COMDESRON TWELVE: It gives me great personal and professional pride to add my BRAVO ZULU on the occasion of your return from the Med.

As you head for home, you can feel justifiably proud of your many accomplishments. Your personal sacrifices have not gone unnoticed, and you should feel confident that you have the heartfelt thanks of a grateful Nation. 111
