Unit Commendation letter was issued to all hands aboard Scamp,
summer of 1964, by Commander Submarines Pacific Fleet - RADM. Eugene
B. Fluckey. Many of us think this should have been at least a MUC,
and to this day don't understand why it wasn't. Had it been up to
Admiral Fluckey we are sure it would have been so. As it was, Scamp
spent more time on station than the boats who did receive the MUC in
the Pacific during that time frame (No names, but check the list in
Blind Man's Bluff, last edition!). But, coming from a man of the
caliber of Gene Fluckey, the letter meant even more to us than a MUC
would have! Thunder Below! |
