Commander John C. Harvey Jr. COMMANDING OFFICER From the Commanding Officer The story of this deployment, the events that lie behind the pictures you see in the cruise book, began for me in April 1991. In our first underway period following the SRA and my taking command I began to realize the special qualities that you, the officers and men of David R. Ray, possessed. We faced a grueling schedule to get ready for the up- coming deployment plus we had a lot of work to do to get our training and knowledge up to where it had to be. Throughout the incredibly long and challenging days of the spring and summer of 1991, you never fal- tered. We beat the odds and began to establish our reputation as a tough ship that would get the job done. In October, we began to move the focus from ship intensive preperations to integrating the ship into the operational organization that would govern our deployment. From AC AT to Kernel Usher to Tail Proficiency Train- ing to MEFEX I, II and III, your proficiency, professionalism and per- formance steadily grew. Along the way, we intergrated HSL 47 Detach- ment 3 into our crew and forged a very close and productive working relationship with a superb group of aviators. Finally, the day came and we deployed in an extremely high state of operational and material readiness. The very hard work of preparation and tough training as you met with success after success on the deploy- ment. Strike operations, boardings or flagship support - DAVID R. RAY was the destroyer of choice in 1992. The greatest source of satisfaction for me as Captain was to watch you, the crew, pull together and work as one to accomplish any assigned missions. Your mental toughness, initiative, loyalty and professionalism always filled me with the greatest sense of pride and respect. No Captain has ever been served so well by a crew as I have been by you. Never forget what you accomplished and were part of during this deployment. Good luck and God speed wherever yor future takes you.
