Stevenson, I am ready to be relieved ." With these words, Capt. B.J. Craig turned over all authority, accountability and responsibility for the Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake to Capt. Charles Stevenson. The change of command ceremony, held August 12 in front of the Adminis- tration Building, was full of emotion, pride, pomp and decorum, as Craig bid farewell to an era, and Stevenson started his own era. Guests included RAdm. George Strohsahl, Commander, Naval Air Warfare Center, and RAdm. William E. Newman, Commander, Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division. Before beginning his speech, Craig publicly thanked his family for their strong support during his career and pre- sented his wife, Laura, and daughter, Collette, with flowers. He also recog- nized three other ladies with flowers . "Pat Tobola started me out when they snuck me away from the airfield to the front office as a vice commander and was a jewel," he said. "She still is and is still helping sailors every day. Electa (Russell) and Jacqu i (Walters) I can never say enough about, because they have been the mai nstay as we moved from the NWC to NAWS days and helped put this organization together. I'll forever be indebted to you," he said chokingly. "You did a great job. I'm glad we could honor you a little bit today." Craig also praised Capt. Daniel J. Stone, head of the Aircraft Department, and his co-workers for the magnificent display of aircraft present at the ceremo- ny, which included the Hornet One, the first F/A-18 off the Hornet production line. "That's quite a display," he said. ''That's a lot of years and a lot of success stories and a 101 of careers and dreams -for a lot of people sitting back there," he added as he pointed to the aircraft. "I am proud we could have them up here." The commanding officer then called Milt Burford, head of the Aircraft Deputy Commander's Awcirc1s for R&D given DeIv\ay and Smith are first recipienls of replocemenl for d d NWC TD Award 6 Weapons integration Department, to the podium. Craig explained how the Sur- vivability and Lethality Division, under Burford's leadership, took this F/A-18 (Hornet One) to the Survivability Range and tested it to see haw it would survive ing Craig. "The Hornet is a real success story, in my estimation, of a system come to life," he said. "It's much more than just an airplane. It's an incredible ride." Craig then explained there was a FINAL SALUTE signals the end ofone command and the start of ana/her, as Copl. Charles A Stevenson relieves Capl. BJ Craig.

"It was shot full of holes twenty some odd times," C raig explained, "set on fire and used under extreme environmental conditions, where there wasn't much left of it."

Burford is a key member in that foun- dation, said Craig, and played a signifi- cant part by helping round up parts to the Hornet One. A group of sailors took those parts and on their off time, at no cost to the United States Government, put together the restored airplane on dis- play. "Milt, I have today, a key presented from myself and the Hornet One Restoration team, for you for safe keep- ing for the day we get that museum built so you can tow the Hornet One over there and display it proudly with the rest of the fine work that has been accom- plished by our fine team," Craig said. The commanding officer then told the sailors to ignore the " nay sayers" who predict the Navy is going away. "The Navy is never going to go away," he said. "The Navy is never going to become a hollow force. You won't let it. You have a career and you have a future and you are needed. You are needed by the Navy and you are needed by your country. I applaud every one of you in your efforts to start this career and I wish you the very best of luck in continuing your career. And I want you to know there are people out there that are ready, willing and able to help you see that successfully through. Don't ever back off, don't ever say no and give it your very best. We need you. You are the backbone of our country." Civilians are also needed, Craig said. " Fortunately we bave the continuity of outstanding civilian leadership," he said. "These civilians, I guarantee to all those who wear the white uniform, wear a uniform just as meaningful as the one you stand in. It may have stripes on it one day or plaid or whatever, but I guar- antee it, they are as true blue Navy as you and I have ever thought we were.
