Kidd Sr. The first. DD-661, was com- missioned at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in April 1943. DD-661 soon began to live up to the KIDD tradition as she constantly went into danger in order to win. On one mission, she risked her own survival as she closed to within 2000 yards off the enemy coast to rescue a downed aviator. Her exploits in the Pacific Theater earned her six Battle Stars and numerous other awards. DDG-993 began her career as a vessel built for the Iranian Navy. Subsequent to the political power struggle in Iran, DDG-993 was destined for the U.S. Navy. Commissioned June 27, 1981, she began a distinguished career that contin- ues to today. n L ii . 158 ' 5 K, sk- ,M V- Tx, ,...1A'f,, , K - -:WP A rf us 1 ' ug 2 41 , ' an or ,h y N if - .1 'LL',,,.

THERE'S ANDY GRIFFITH AT THE FIRST ANNUAL KIDD TURKEY TROT. - r--if MED Cruise l 95 The EISEN- HOWER Battle Group set sail from Norfolk, Virginia, the morning of October 20, 1995. The crowds gathered to say good-bye as the ships of the battle group slipped majestically into the Elizabeth River to begin the trans-Atlantic passage to the Mediterranean Sea. Tears began to flow and stomachs tightened as the sailors finally realized that the months of preparation were about to pay off. IKEBATGRU became the center piece of U.S. National policy, and interests, Forward from the Sea. T 9 V 'T .1-1-Z W lr , . if ,i In-lu F A J f'R Z 1 2l.993 NIIl.liS TOGO L. NTII.

Charged with providing firepower. electronic support, and national presence, KIDD was instrumental in the continued success of Operation Sharpguard, Deny Flight, and Provide Promise. In this role, KIDD supported the Naval Embargo and the No-Fly-Zone over the War torn republics of the former Yugoslavia. The times in the Adriatic were broken up by numerous underway replenishments and the always uncertain Tuesday and Friday mail deliveries. ,yy A, . Q, aiu. kg .R I i- I ni' ff, 'i '42 A Q .11 . An 4 600SQUARE MILES IN MAVERICK AND 277 FLY-BY'S! MED Cruise l 95 Someone said that the Days would drag and the weeks would fly. Often the case, the days were filled with many demanding activities. From General Quarters to the Underway Replenishment so necessary to continue our mission. there was never a slack day. The training often paid great dividends as the complex evolutions ran smoothly. Refueling at sea was a regular event after the first few weeks. Missile shoots and the torpedo exercises rounded out our training routine. The training and hard work made the difference and could be seen often as KIDD continued the tradition. 3--' F J-. gy V Y 45 Q' Xu -asus - K 69 DAYS AS THE MASTERS OF MAVERICK!

Thanksgiving found KIDD onstation in the Adriatic Sea. Not to worry. Turkey and all the fixings were expertly prepared and everyone feasted like a king, The Christmas Season was spent in Naples, Italy, with many going to the Midnight Mass in Rome. New Year's day again found KIDD in the Adriatic. With New Years behind us and now on the downside ofthe hump. Easter in Norfolk was a welcomed news. MED Cruise l 95 ' F . x H, -A' '4- , A-- .

The many visits by dignitaries often provided the backdrop for a spectacular Awards Ceremony. KIDD seemed to be a magnet for visitors as many nations sent people over to observe our flawless execution of the Redcrown role or our highly trained Damage Control Organization.

Mail Call The piping of Flight Quarters over the General Announcing System was sure to raise the hope of mail. Separated by thousands of miles, mail was the vital link home. Be it bills, magazines or the coveted letter from family or friends, any mail was a good thing. Most came onboard a supply flight once each port visit or on the twice weekly mail runs onto Bari, Italy.
