OUR OMMANDIIYG OFFICER OMMANDER CHARLES H. GNERLICH X ww Although l had the privilege of commanding COONTZ for only the latter portion of the deploymentgl have been impressed by the ship's capabilities, made' possible by the competence and professionalism of the crew. Your performance has been consistently outstanding, ahdis a great credit to the ship and to each of you who have contributed so much to our success, COONTZZS deployment was somewhat' unusual bef cause of the small amount oflB'attle Groupi steaming and the significant proportion of operations involving individual or small groups of ships., COONTZZS share of those ops included 'East Med duty, Black 'Sea 'Oper- ations, and SARDINEX. lnevery caseiour reputationfor' beingeablef to get the job done was confirmed. coozvrz goes when,she's supposed to,.shoots whenshe wants to, talks tofwhomever she has to, and she. is atwthe correct plaee .atthevcorrect time, everytime. 'Every evo4 lution ror, assignmentg from recovery, of aircraft debris -toe major fleet operations,lwas carried out profeSi8i0Ii3lly.f safely, and with the degree of competence that made it all' look easy. r g g t Your conduct ashore was equal tot your performance at sea. Everywhere CGONTZ sailors wentroniliberty, me United States' was well representediby thoughtful, courf teous and mature sailors. - g j I am proud of what you all have doneg and especially proud to be' your CO. rl amlooking aforwardlto' our next operational cycle, and ournextecruisebookg Letlsdos it all again.

D IVIASI Having returned to COONTZafter a two year absence, I can say that she is still and always will be the finest warship in the LLS. Navy. For an individual ship to maintain the same high standards of operational readiness over a four year period is an amazing accomplishment. COONTZ has done this! This achievement is entirely due to the fine American sailors who have made up her crew. As the ship has matured, so have the officers, chief petty officers, and crewmen grown professionally and militarily, striving to be battle ready at any time on a moments notice. I am proud to be a part of this battle proven warship. fl ' -fr A F IIIW1 X jf 1 f x 2 X fy , 'f Q7 ,,,i.....a.am Js.. .CEU ,1 1 , W , S , . 1554 sid ..,1. :in-.
