Richardson also enjoyed the distinction of having been selected as one of the 2001 Vice Admiral Stockdale Award winners for Inspirational Leadership, an award designated in 1979 and presented annually to two commanding officers, one in the Atlantic Fleet and one in the Pacific.

Most recently he served in Naples, Italy as commander, Submarine Group Eight; commander, Submarines, Allied Naval Forces South; deputy commander, U.S. 6th Fleet, and chief of staff, U.S. Naval Forces Europe and U.S. Naval Forces Africa. His operational assignments include service in both attack and ballistic missile submarines, including Parche (SSN 683), George C.
