Pearl Harbor, Hawaii (Jan. 26, 2004) - The crew assigned to the Los
Angeles-class attack submarine USS Louisville (SSN 724) poses for a
photo after receiving the Battle "E" award. The Battle "E" award
recognizes sustained superior performance in all areas of combat
readiness. As part of the competition, ships compete for command
excellence in four combat areas: maritime warfare,
engineering/survivability, command and control, and logistics
management. To receive the nod for battle efficiency, a ship must
excel in all four areas. U.S. Navy photo by Journalist 3rd Class
