BRAVO ZULU From CINCUSNAVEUR: As you begin your journey home, you can be well satisfied you have been challenged greatly and responded superbly during your deployment to the Sixth Fleet. Flying above the Mediterranean, cruising its surface or visiting its ports, your image constantly has been that of a ready power for peace - a comforting presence for our friends and a firm reminder to our potential adversaries. In so doing, you have reaffirmed the Carrier Battle Group as one of the primary instruments of U.S. national power and commitment. I am pleased to share your pride and professionalism, and wish you a safe voyage home to your loved ones. VADM SCHOULTZ sends.
