In the end, of course, Will Rogers will not get an admiral's two-inch gold stripe. He instructed navy captains in San Diego for two years before retiring honorably in August 1991. The men of the Vincennes were all awarded combat-action ribbons. Commander Lustig, the air-warfare coordinator, even won the navy's Commendation Medal for "heroic achievement," his "ability to maintain his poise and confidence under fire," enabled him to "quickly and precisely complete the firing procedure." Given the target he was firing at, the commendation seems rather surreal. But so was the atmosphere in the Vincennes CIC that July morning, and the attempt, in months and years that followed, to cover up what happened there.
Краткий перевод: Командир Vincennes'а не получил адмиральскую звезду. В течение двух лет инструктировал капитанов ВМФ в Сан-Диего перед почетным выходом в отставку в августе 1991 году.
Подчиненные же получили повышение, а человек, непосредственно отвечавший за ПВО на крейсере - коммандер Лустиг - даже отхватил медаль ВМС "за героическое достижение", выразившееся "в способности сохранять пристуствие духа и уверенность под огнем".
