What could be more fitting than to conduct this change of command underway, on the waters of the East China Sea - domain of the golden dragon, world of seafar- ing myth and legend. It is of legends, old and new, that I want to speak to- day. ... First, I want to say something to you about making legends. Thcokl legend concerns the l:)attlc tor which this great ship was named. The setting. Lake Champlain, was unusual tor a war at sea. The sun on that September morning in 1814 rose over the Green Mountains of Vermont and cast a warm glow over the hills and valleys of the _ H.rtio ' ° Adirondacks. A British land army was cj,H. n ' poised to take the U.S. Army garrison ' at ■« ' Plattsburg on the northwest shore of the — - ' ' lake. Their signal to advance was to be the inevitable de.struction of the small U.S. naval squadron on the lake — a conette Uhe SARATOGA), a brig, 2 schooners, and 10 gunboats under the command of Master-Commandant Thomas MacDonough. This certain British victory was put in the hands of a superior royal naw force consisting of the 36-gun frigate CONFIANCE. three brigs, ,uid 12 galleys. But, in measiaring the two forces, the Britisli duln t count on our . nieric.in spirit, our youthful ingenuitw and ourab.solute belict m our cause. They didn ' t coiinl on tlie qualir - of our leadership abo c the lIcl k. nor on the professionalism and Jctlicaiion of our saikirs below the deck. 1 he American commander did something unheard of in the annals of war at sea, he elected to face the British at anchor. He anchored his force in a small bay bet veen two headlands, forcing the enemy to approach ith their foreguiis against his broadsick-s. Bui he also filled his ships wiili spring c ables and kedge anchors, allowing his lorcc — nu)sl particularly his llagsliip SAKATCKiA — lo Uirn on a wide arc i ' anchoi and i rcseni a fresh broadside. The battle began at 9 o ' clock. The first Hrilish cannon knocked .i rooster oui of it ' s cage on the deck of .SARATOGA, and these min, looking death in the face, laughed as the r(K)ster .scrambled up .1 gun slide lo berate ihe British. Masier-Comniandant l.it Donough lit off ihe first American cannon. In less than an hi )ur SARATOGA was riddled with S cannon holes and 57 men were dead or gravely wounded. Then, in ihe heal of battle, SARA ' i ' OGA ' s men calmly and masterfully, worked the anchors anti cables, bringing the ship around for a fresh attack on CONFIANCH and the re.st of the British force. By noon the battle was over. All four British ships were de.st roved ihat day and a legend was born. The British ground force was shocked and .stunned at the news and scj abandoned isy it ' s naval support, that it walked home to the Canadian Ixjrder. i President Madison was .so encouraged by the victory that he ordered the con.struction of two new 94-gun ships of the line, forerunners of this great ship that we are standing on today. Our negotiators in Europe were .so strengthened by the news that British terms were rejected, terms that would have greatly altered the U.S. Canadian border and left Maine and the Great fakes in British hands. A treaty, on our terms, was signed before Christmas of that year. Yes, a legend was born. But the me.s.sage 1 have for you today is not about a legendar ' sea battle and its impact. No my message is about what it takes to make a legend. Certainly, it takes leadership, but not just leadership - leader- ship allied to vision, to bold ingenuity ' , to ab.solute professionalism, and yes to humor. Master-Commandant MacDonough had it. . . But leadership is only one ingredient in the mix that makes legends. The other is dedication and profe.ssionalism below the decks. MacDonough won with the aid of hundreds of sailors, men laboring in cramped woo den gundecks, pitching and rolling with the sea and the recoil of gims, amid almo.st eveiy conceivable noise and horror. These men were as adept at trimming sails as they were at close-quarters gimnerv . They sen ' ed the guns below and had the skills and presence of mind to work the complex anchors and spring cables that swimg the ship to victory. Tlie Battle of Lake Champlain was, in short, a victory of extraordinary ' deeds done by ordinaiy men - extraordinary deeds accomplished by better w arfighting skills, by profe.ssionalism and professional conduct, and by knowing how to use the tools at hand. USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN (CG 57) is the third U.S. Navy Ship to honor the name Lake Champlain. The first was a cargo vessel wliicli served in World War L The second was an Essex-Class air- craft carrier (CV-39) which earned a battle star in the Korean Conflict and also was the recovery ship for the first American manned space flight. CDR Alan Shepard ' s command module FREEDOM 7 was lifted from the Atlantic Ocean to the deck of (;cV-39). This marked the beginning of Anierica ' s explora- tion of the New Frontier and use of outer space for the development of the modern satellites of today. U)S LAKE CHAMPLAIN has made 5 deployments. The first was in 1991 for Desert Storm, then again in 1993, 1995, 1997-1998 and now 2000. abrication of USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN began 9 July 1985. Her keel was laid 3 March 1986. She was christened 25 April 1987 at Inga Us Ship- building Division of Litton in Pascagoula, Mississippi, by Mrs. Everett Pyatt, wife of the then Assistant Secretaiy of the Navy for Shipbuild- ing and Logistics. USS LAIvE CHAMPLAIN was commis.sioned on a hot .summer day 12 August 1988 in Brooklyn, New Yorlt. USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN ' s Captain Ralph K. Martin Edward K. Kristensen JohnJ. Felloney Dennis J.

II s your final deployment as an old Chief with over 20 years of sea stories, the anticipation and I n lety is certainly present. And, so it was when the USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN, as a part of the JOHN .;. MHNNIS Battle Group, set sail on her last WESTPAC of the 20th Century. This deployment, our chief mission was Maritime Interdiction Operations(MIO) with the VBSS Teams . ' xcited to be assisting Seal TeamTliree. Improvements in satellite communications and the installation of IT2 1 enhanced Command and Control, as well as improved e-mail capabilities and allowed internet access. (The frequency of e-m.i .is so great that many didn ' t begin work until they, checked with theirwives and mommies . ) c liad a change of command, a visit from the MCPON and were the first guided missile cmiser to provide electricity a ' ficl otlu ser ices to a Los Angeles Class submarine. Other cruise memories . . . Hundreds of flight operations, frequent at-sea replenishments of fuel and food, numerous repairs and regular maintenance. Tlie whine of the turbines, standing the watch . . . the Blue Gold watch rotation, which improved quality lof life for most enlisted, being scrapped because of logistics problems (too many senior enlisted and officers couldn ' t adapt), JBreaking the monotony with video games, surfing the WEB, ' round the clock movies, watching direct feed Armed Forces Network TV - the frustration of pLxelated sports. The beard growing contests on the way to Korea and again when we left the Gulf for Australia. Relieving stress with weightlifting. Steel Beach picnics, tax-free pay, sleep; e-mail, e-mail, e-mail; crossing the line - twice. For those who joined the Navy to see the world , we made port calls in Korea, Hong Kong, Thailand, Bahrain, Dubai, Australia and Hawaii. We suffered the disappointment of losing the Battle E (despite higher scores) to a sister ship that ran aground in the Gulf - or was that a hshing cable ?!! We were awarded the Sea Service Ribbon, Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal, Fuel Conserva- tion Award, COMNAVSURFPAC Safety Award and, the highlight, the 1999 Spokane Trophy - the most prohcient Surface Combatant in the Pacific Fleet. ■We travelled over 32,000 miles in 178 days and returned home safely, in the words of Captain Guillory, with 10 fingers and 10 toes . The sight of a carrier battle group returning to San Diego is not an unusual sight but, when you are on one of those grey warships, sailing by Point Loma, manning the rails, passing under the Coronado Bay Bridge, pulling alongside the pier and trying to glimpse your loved ones as the ship moors - whether it ' s your first cruise or your last, the myriad of feelings is the same - excitement, joy and, most of all, pride . 2 3©® S @ 11 12 23 ( © i BAHRAIN 2 3 4 5® 9 10 (Q) © ® 4) y © @ ® ® @ 2| @ @ ( @ 8) @ UNITED ARAB EMIRATES MARITIME INTERDI CTION OPERATIONS © © © © © © @ 9 10 11 12 Q 14 l5 16 17 ® @ © @ @ AUSTRALIA (D 3 © 5 6 7 8 :i g ■M«:HM;V iy tlIIIia DcpartL d at iWUO from San Dicgo, California.

Your PASSEX Operations with the JMSDF and ROK Navy were flaw- lessly planned and executed as was the challenging airwing training conducted in winter conditions on the Korean penin- sula. The air combat training you con- ducted with RMAF MIG-29 and F-18 aircraft was another important aspect of the PACFLT engagement plan. Hosting senior Japanese, Korean, Chinese and Malaysian military and government officials, you served as ambassadors for our nation and the Navy, fulfilling another vital SEVENTH Fleet engagement objective and promoting increased militaiy to military interaction. Your experience and observations while operating in this AOR will provide SEV- ENTH Fleet with valuable lessons learned that should significantly improve future operations in SEVENTH Fleet. Please accept my sincere appreciation for a job extremely well done. Your efforts clearly demonstrate the military and diplomatic power of the carrier Battle Group. Good luck in the Gulf, we look forward to your safe return. VADM Doran sends.

Today it is awarded to the surface combatant best representing the utmost in combat proficiency. But it is not just a combat systems award; the entire crew may justifiably be proud. That includes the engineers who provide power and propulsion, the .storekeepers who keep vital eciuipment running with their support, the operators who tactically employ the vast capabilities resident aboard this ship, the aviators who are an integral part of everything we do. as well .is the weaponeers who comprise the core of the combat .systems experts.

COMNAVSURTPAC Note : Congratulations on an outstanding deployment to the Filth Fleet .A.OR. m demonstrated our nation ' s resolve in one of the most unpredictable regions of the wodd. You ser ed as a potent deterrent force, and your crews ' saciifices and successes made a tremendous differ- ence. You should all have a keen sense of pride knowing you met every challenge during your deploy- ment. The many exercises and multi-national operations in which you represented the United States placed a critical role in ensuring the future stabilit ' of the Arabian Gulf region. .Specifically, your aiidation of chokepoint safe passage procedures with allied navies and the myriad of queries, boardings and diverts conducted in support of UN sanctions are a clear indication of the relevance of , surface Navy operations. Similarly, ycjur efforts working with and alongside our GCC partners and allies helped to extend American Navy professionalism to these same maritime partners, an important goal in our nation ' s engagement policy. Throughout tfie deployment, your performance at sea and your conduct ashore provided a superb example of operational excellence, leadership and teamwork. Upon your return home, I wish you and your families and friends the best and safest of reunions. I couldn ' t be prouder of your superior performance and look forward to seeing you on the waterfront after your well-deserved stand down period. Well done! VADM Moore sends.
