Between '90 and '94 she earned the Battle "E" award. She was also awarded the Navy Unit Commendation and the Meritorious Unit Award for her actions. The second submarine to carry the Bergall name served her country and crew well. She spent most of her time in the cat and mouse game of the cold war and never let us down!
