"Joseph W. Prueher served the U.S. Navy and the nation during a time of conflict in Southeast Asia, increasingly heated global competition with the Soviet Union, and change in how the Navy treated female, African American, and enlisted sailors. He flew hundreds of combat missions in A-6 Intruder attack planes during the Vietnam War. Recognizing Prueher as a first-rate naval aviator, the Navy assigned him to test pilot and then instructor duty at the Naval Air Test Center, Patuxent River, Maryland...Successful squadron, air wing, and carrier group command tours sharpened his operational skills. Overcoming bureaucratic and other obstacles, Prueher established the Naval Strike Warfare Center in Fallon, Nevada...Service as Commandant of Midshipmen at the Naval Academcy and his involvement with the Gwen Dreyer case exposed him to the Navy's gender-integration challenges of a tumultuous era. Prueher discusses the impact on the service and its personnel of the 1991 Tailhook episode, as well as the issues surrounding the Kara Hultgreen and Rebecca Hansen cases. Command of the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean and command of NATO's naval forces in the region from 1993 to 1995 brought him into contact with British, French, Italian, and other allied naval leaders involved with Operation Sharp Guard in the Adriatic Sea. ... He served as Vice Chief of Naval Operations under Admiral Jeremy Boorda. Prueher crowned his military career as Commander in Chief, Pacific. He was a key figure in the 1996 Taiwan Strait Crisis with the People's Republic of China. His political-military duties brought him into contact with China's Jiang Zemin, Singapore's Lee Kuan Yew, and other civilian and military leaders in the Pacific region. He also worked closely with the Clinton administration's secretaries of defense William Perry and William Cohen and Secretary of State Madeleine Albright. Following his retirement from the U.S. Navy on 1 May 1999, Prueher was appointed as the U.S. Ambassador to China. He was key to settlement of the April 2001 Hainan incident with China. Other key issues during his tour in Beijing were China's accession to the World Trade Organization and the Six-Party Talks with regard to North Korea's nuclear program.
