JOINT BASE PEARL HARBOR-HICKAM (June 21, 2022) – Force Master Chief Jason Avin, Commander, Submarine Force, U.S. Pacific Fleet (COMSUBPAC), addresses the crew of the Virginia-class fast-attack submarine USS Missouri (SSN 780) before the presentation of the Master Chief Hugh McCracken Leadership Award to the Chief Petty Officers Mess of USS Missouri (SSN 780), 21 June, 2022.
Every year, Commander, Submarine Force Atlantic (COMSUBLANT) and COMSUBPAC recognize two top chiefs mess per coast. One fast-attack submarine and one ballistic missile submarine, or guided missile submarine, are evaluated and selected as the recipient of the Hugh McCracken Leadership Award.
The award is named after the first Submarine Force Master Chief, Hugh E. McCracken, but it is also in remembrance of Chief Gunner’s Mate William H. Reader, who served as the first Submarine Force Chief of the Boat. These two leaders are revered in naval history as senior enlisted leaders, who set the expectation for what it means to be a Chief Petty Officer today.
