FROM THE TOP OF THE ROCKS- 9 TO THE TOP OF THE RANKS FROM THE TOP OF THE ROCKS TO THE TOP OF THE RANKS The Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy is awarded each year to the ship in the U. S. Pacific Fleet which displays the greatest improvement in battle efficiency during the competitive year. In 1968 the Arleigh Burke Trophy was won by the USS Frank Knox. This is a praise- worthy achievement for any ship. For the Frank Knox it was more than that. In the year 1964 this ship was one of the top destroyers in the Pacific Fleet, displaying battle ef- ficiency E's in all major departments, with hash marks under many of them. She had just been voted Ship of the Year for 1963 by OUR NAVY MAGAZINE, and awarded the Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund Award. One of the few laurels not received was the Arleigh Burke Trophy. But on 18 july, 1965, these merits seemed of secondary impor- tance as the Frank Knox lay stranded on the coral heads of Pratas Reef, in the South China Sea. Extensive salvage operations finally freed her, and she made her way slowly to japan. Over a period of 386 days in drydock in Yokosuka, japan, the Frank Knoxwas resurrected through the skill and industry of japanese yardworkers and her dedicated crewmembers. She was recommissioned in November of 1966. I In july of 1967 Frank Knox deployed to the Waters of Southeast Asia and began a climb that has brought her to the level she previously held as one of the most distinguished ships in the Pacific Fleet. During the competitive year 1968 she walked off with the Battle Efficiency E for Destroyer Squadron Seventeen plus individual awards in gunnery, engineering and antisubmarine warfare. Then on 20 November 1968, two years and one day after she was recommissioned, Frank Knox was formally awarded the Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy. The achievement is testimony to the spirit and ability character- istic of the Navy in general and the destroyerman in particular. 3 ...- .....,..-....,...............,.....,-..-..........:.1.N.....,.s.,.-.,.nmr...,...1.1i.E...:a-.......'...:..:T.x4.4.sa,a..,....,m....,.c.......a...- 1-.5 --av,-....,.,.- :..,......:.,,a-,..........,,.
