My old boats did well; USS Topeka earned her 2nd consecutive award, and USS Connecticut took over the CSDS-5 flag from my other old boat, USS Jimmy Carter (SSN 23), who had to be satisfied with the Engineering "E" this year.
I'll post the SUBLANT winners as soon as I find the list.
Bell-ringer 0928 06 Jan: Blunoz has the SUBLANT (actually SUBFOR, but I'm Old School) results over at his place.

As a former Cable sailor, I am glad to see AS-40 win a Battle E, but is there really a category anymore for sub tenders? Not much competition with only two of them left is there?

You're ahead of McClatchy
Best of luck to you

The USS Montpelier won but I can't remember what squadron they're in. And they got the engineering E as well, go Mighty Monty!!!

Blunoz scooped you! (He has both coast's results posted).
But I still voted for you! :)

I could have sworn that I saw the USS Norfolk somewhere on that message. I think it's because they got the Green C. Coincidentally, all of the battle E winners(except for the Norfolk) were boats that made 5th/7th fleet deployments, with the exception of the Virginia. is that the norm?

USS Columbus SSN-762
It was some kinda ride going from the Bremerton shipyard to Pearl Harbor as we returned from Deployment on Sept 11, 2008.

To the previous Cable anon poster:
When I was on the Cable, there was only one SUBPAC tender, and we got the Battle "E" both years that I was aboard. At least the Emory S. Land is in the Pacific now to give a little more competition that there was before.

Fuck the Topeka. Sorry if my language offends, but if it does then you're not a submariner and wouldn't understand anyway. The Asheville accomplished what was said to be by the Commodore "The most important mission in the past 10 years of submarines" and got a high AA on orse to boot. This just proves what every Asheville sailor knows: Squadron hates the Asheville. Look at our OpTempo - both current and last 'Pac - to see. F-U, Topeka.
