| | |
| Mr. Drake has performed extraordinary during his service on board USS
| |
| FAIRBANKS. Part of his time he had to take over TAC/SEC-duty too. He ran
| |
| double shifts for 4 weeks after we had lost our CSO on an away mission.
| |
| | |
| Mr. Drake is not a very congenial partner. He often says things the way
| |
| he thinks about it. On the other hand he is as honest and honourable a
| |
| man can be.
| |
| | |
| It's a pity to lose an officer like LTJG Steven Francis Drake. But from
| |
| what I know, he has a vocation for higher honours of service in the
| |
| fleet.
| |
| | |
| Respectfully submitted,
| |
| Captain Thorne, CO USS FAIRBANKS

| | |
| LCDR Drake is a polarising personality to say at least.
| |
| | |
| First and most essential for a commanding officer he is a fine officer
| |
| with a stable character. Fleet-service is a vocation to him and his
| |
| performance displays that in a very significant way. His performance has
| |
| met the highest standards for the most time he was assigned to our
| |
| taskforce.
| |
| | |
| Second, he is definitely no officer of whom to expect blind obedience or
| |
| "sticking to the book". He always challenges things and orders for
| |
| himself and if something is not correct or clear from his point of view
| |
| he tries to iron things out until he's satisfied. Despite this Mr. Drake
| |
| has always been polite and respectfully to superiors and - more
| |
| important - to subordinates. Although I have to admit he sometimes
| |
| "tipped the line" it had worked out, that he had been right with his
| |
| point of view.
| |
| | |
| As a friend he is reliable and deserves the respect of a true friend
| |
| once he offers you friendship. His friendship is not easy to achieve by
| |
| the way.
| |
| | |
| It is sad that I lose Mr. Drake. He had been a very good officer _and_
| |
| friend. God speed and good luck for his future career, which I will keep
| |
| an eye on.
| |
| | |
| Respectfully submitted,
| |
| CAPT Nikolai Gruschenko, USS BATTLE AXE, Flagship TF-17
