From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy[1] is an award presented annually by the United States Navy to the ship or aviation squadron that demonstrates the greatest improvement in battle efficiency from the previous year. Two commands annually, one from each coast earn the award.

History

The Arleigh Burke Fleet Trophy was established by the Chief of Naval Operations on 1 August 1961. It was promulgated in OPNAV Instruction 3590.11 along with procedures for affecting the award.[2]

The trophy honors former Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Arleigh Burke, a distinguished naval officer for over 38 years. His leadership and contribution to Naval warfare are embodied by this award. Arleigh Burke made vital contributions in many key warfare areas including battle efficiency, new tactical concepts, and weapons systems. The award recognizes an outstanding improvement in battle efficiency. The original trophy, sculpted by Hannibal De Bellis, was a brass plaque adorned with a profile of Admiral Burke.[3]
