USS LOCKRIDGE (DD-5314) Status Report 15MAY2206
DATE: 15MAY2206
FROM: COMMANDING OFFICER, USS LOCKRIDGE DD-5314
TO: COMNAVFOR SIX
SUBJ: Status Report 15MAY2206
Admiral Thompson,
I am pleased to report that since its installation 01MAY2206 the PT-2500 engine salvaged from USS HORTON has been running perfectly and has passed all certifications from the yard. Superintendent McVickers has signed off on our release and I am proud to report that USS LOCKWOOD (DD-5314) is ready to return to the fleet.
On a side note, Downs Containerized Shipping has donated to USS LOCKWOOD a plaque commemorating our efforts to rescue the crew of SS FREIDA DOWNS.
Crew strength is at 98 %, stores are at 100% readiness is green across the board. I would like to note that on our 3 test firings of our new star lance missiles, we scored 100% hits. I would feel more comfortable if we were allowed more exercise with this system, however the uncertain supply of the older missiles precludes further training.
The replacement for our second utility craft has arrived, we were somewhat shocked to learn that it is a new Assault Scout and not the usual utility craft, however we have been talking to the flight crews and believe we can use it rather effectively.
I await your further orders.
Respectfully,
Fredrick J. G. Holmes
CDR, USN
