This book is the result of the efforts and contributions of a great many people. More people than we can name gave pictures; however. Tim Burleson. Don Lee, Jack Harrington, Henry Hubbard, Bob Rini, Fred Beall, Jack Kenworthy, Jeff Garrett, Tom Milne and Kathy Jolly (“Departing and Returning San Diego ) deserve special mention for their massive (and beautiful!) inputs. Credit and thanks are due to Jim Davidson, who spent countless hours selling the cruisebooks and handling the financial records. Finally, for help way above and beyond the call of duty, Jack Harrington should be awarded the “Order of the Darkroom medal! JACKSON L. HARRIS, II CRUISEBOOK OFFICER PATRICK J. JOLLY EDITOR

The following message was received from Rear Admiral BROWN. Commander Task Force 70: 1. Upon your detachment from Battle Force, Seventh Fleet, I want to express my congratulations on a most successful and meaningful deployment. You operated in two of the most critical areas of the world to demonstrate, by your presence, the resolve of the United States to ensure peace by deterring aggression. 2. Your long and arduous deployment was an outstanding example of the versatility of the carrier battle group and it's stabilizing role in world affairs. You began your deployment off the western coast of Central America as a reassuring symbol to allies there, and moved acros the Pacific to take station in the Northern Arabian Sea in response to the developing international situation in Lebanon. Battle Group Echo resolutely maintained it's high state of combat readiness on station in this sensitive area while the Middle East remained in turmoil and naval forces were reoriented in support of national objectives. The personal fortitude and professionalism of each individual of Battle Group Echo contributed to your ability to sustain not only this combat readiness but also obvious battle group spirit and morale as you remained on station in the Northern Arabian Sea for 95 days. 3. The most representative symbol of Battle Group Echo's readiness was the manner in which RANGER, assisted by other Battle Group ships, responded to the tragic fire in number four main engineering space and quickly resumed normal operations, remaining on station for another 77 days. This remarkable accomplishment highlighted the spirit of teamwork and ingenuity evident in RANGER and the entire Battle Group. Each Battle Group unit matched this readiness capability, responding to an ever changing schedule by imaginative planning and the professional employment of forces. Your professionalism as previously cited by CINCPACFLT and COMSEVENTHFLT, was superbly demonstrated by numerous successful operations and exercises conducted at sea. Your noteworthy participation in a variety of demanding exercises demonstrated a superior understanding of CWC skills and Battle Group tactics. 4. While RANGER and most of the Battle Group remained at sea for 121 days (Ed. note: HORNE set the record with 122 days!), noteworthy accomplishments of Battle Group Echo became the rule rather than the exception. The port visits of Battle Group ships fulfilled an important function of our diplomatic mission, the best examples being USS FLETCHER’S sensitive and highly successful port visit to the Seychelles and USS FIFE’S humanitarian relief support to Agalega. The overall intelligence production and reporting by the BG was outstanding. Particularly noteworthy was reporting on CVMGNOVOROSSIYSK surveillance operations, information reports on IL-38 MAY activities, and in depth documentation and reporting associated with the USS FIFE Soviet KRIVAK INCSEA violation. Also. USS RANGER’S innovative use of the Fleet Intelligence Support Terminal (FIST) and detailed documentation of lessons learned significantly enhanced the utilization of this valuable system in the 1C environment and established a baseline upon which follow on FIST units can build. Battle Group Echo adapted quickly to the demanding Indian Ocean logistics support requirements and displayed a remarkable ability to make this system work well. The CV CVW team established and maintained a very high aircraft readiness during extended blue-water ops at the end of the logistics pipeline. As a final note, your informative and meaningful turnover with Battle Group ALFA ensured that the Battle Force's high standard of readiness in the Indian Ocean would be maintained. 5. I extend to all hands of Battle Group ECHO sincere appreciation for a job well done. We will miss that special can do attitude which you displayed from the west coast of Central America to the Gulf of Aden. Thanks and have a safe trip home.. 95
