The first award was given to NavFac Lewes as part of ASW Task Group 84---Atlantic Fleet SOSUS---for outstanding operational performance during a period of high level Soviet submarine activity in the Atlantic. The second award was given for improving the physical conditions on the base and enhancing the Navy's image with the civilian community in Delaware. As shown by these two awards for an overlapping period, responding to a demanding operational situation did not preclude increased efforts to improve the command environment.
