1 J film f -' s.f '7f739'7ll'i TO THE OFFICERS AND ENLISTED MEN OF WAINWRIGHT Your record of performance during the Med deployment C31 March-21 October 19771 was commendable. Whether WAINWRIGHT was participating in a MISSILEX, a major exercise such as NATIONAL WEEK or DAWN PATROL, a special operation in highly sensitive areas, or a port visit where we were ambassadors of our Navy and nation, you gave it your best shot always. Your displayed professionalism and pride brought accolades from many sources that culminated in Commander SIXTH Fleet's message on our departure from the SIXTH Fleet that stated, you were the top performer in the Fleet. I look back on this deployment as the best ever. It was made an enjoyable and memorable experience by you, my shipmates, who gave your all from beginning to end. You can be justifiably proud of your accomplishments. WELL DONE! Although the thought is not original, may you have fair winds and a following sea in every future endeavor. R. C.
