PEARL HARBOR (NNS) -- USS Cheyenne (SSN 773) received the 2007 Capt. Edward F. Ney Memorial Award for Food Service
Excellence on Jan. 31.
In a message from Secretary of the Navy Donald C. Winter, Cheyenne was named first place out of all the submarines in the U.S.
Atlantic and Pacific Fleets.
“These annual awards, co-sponsored by the International Food Service Executives Association (IFSEA), encourage excellence in
the Navy food service programs, with the objective of improving the quality of life for our Navy personnel,” Winter said. “I commend
all commands for their hard work and commitment to excellence.”
For the food service division on board Cheyenne, the honor of receiving this award is just a sign they’re doing the job they set out to
do from day one.
“As a division, our primary goal is to provide the best service possible to our crew,” said Senior Chief Culinary Specialist (SS)
Kenneth Hughley, Supply Department leading chief petty officer. “We implemented a system that focused on ownership and initiative
that has been vital to our success. The motivation that our division displayed was outstanding and made being recognized as the
best submarine in both fleets a humbling experience.”
Representatives from the Cheyenne Food Service Division will be recognized by the IFSEA at their March Joint Military Food Service
Excellence Awards ceremony in Kansas City, Mo.
The award, created in 1958 by the Secretary of the Navy and IFSEA, was named in honor of Capt. Edward F. Ney, head of the
Bureau of Supplies and Accounts’ Subsistence Division from 1940 to 1945. Ney joined the Navy in 1912, and helped determine the
requirements and supervise the procurement of food for the U.S. Navy.
Another Pacific submarine force boat, USS Kentucky (Gold) (SSBN 737), also received honorable mention.
