AS COMCARGRU SIX DEPARTS THE EMED, THE OFFICERS AND MEN OF USS FAHRION ARE COMMENDED FOR THEIR SUPERLATIVE PERFORMANCE AS A MEMBER OF TASK GROUP 60.4. 2. THROUGHOUT THE KENNEDY BATTLE GROUPS TYT III, ORE, READEX 2-83, AND EMED OPERATIONS, FAHRION HAS SET THE STANDARD BY BEING THE MOST RELIABLE AND RESPONSIVE PERFORMER OF THE SURFACE COMBATANTS. FAHRION'S SIXTY SEVEN CONTINUOUS DAYS AT SEA, A RECORD FOR FFG-7'S, IS PROOF OF THE OUTSTANDING MATERIAL RELIABILITY AND READINESS THAT HAVE EXEMPLIFIED THE SHIP. TACTICAL VERSATILITY IN ASW, ASUW, AAW AND AS A CARRIER AND AMPHIBIOUS ESCORT HAVE SHOWN FAHRION'S READINESS AND ABILITY TO RESPOND TO ANY SITUATION. 3. FAHRION'S PERFORMANCE AS AN ASUW PICKET WHERE CHASING DOWN FAST MOVING UNKNOWN CONTACTS, ANALYZING SURFACE TRAFFIC PATTERNS IN THE CYPRESS-SYRIA GAP, AND DEVELOPING WORKABLE CONTACT HANDOFF PROCEDURES WERE ALL ACHIEVED WITH THE SAME DEGREE OF PROFESSIONALISM THAT HAS BECOME FAHRION'S TRADEMARK. ' 4. FAHRION HAS ACHIEVED THE BEST UNREP PERFORMANCE RECORD OF ANY OF THE SURFACE COMBATANTS IN THE BATTLE GROUP AND SMART SHIP HANDLING HAS ELICITED LAUDATORY COMMENTS FROM THE REPLENISHMENT SHIPS. THE PERFORMANCE OF THE OFFICERS AND CREW DURING PORT VISITS TO ALEXANDRIA1 EGYPT AND ISTANBUL, TURKEY REFLECT THE HIGH STANDARDS DESIRED AS REPRESENTATIVES OF THE UNITED STATES NAVY. 5. KEEP UP THE OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE AND PLEASE PASS MY CONGRATULATIONS AND WELL DONE TO ALL HANDS. WILL BE LOOKING FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE PRIDE OF THE FFG-7'S AGAIN. GOOD LUCK, GOOD HUNTING.
