Text from Pages 1 - 472 of the 1983 volume:

■- c rti m . «- '  i- -■ Wl. i C- :u- ■ tr ' i 5 . I I The 1984-1985 deployment of USS CARL VINSON and its embarked Aiming, CVW-15, which began October 13, 1984, was highly successful. It was made possible through the hard work and team spirit which has carried over from our last deployment. We are the Navy ' s newest commissioned aircraft carrier. Our progress, from workups through our return to Alameda, has been closely watched by our chain of command. Our families and friends have followed San Francisco ' s Own, to and from deployment to the Seventh Fleet, it is with great pride that I can say everyone has been impressed with our ability to set THE example in areas of professional performance, sustained operations, and excellent conduct ashore. Inside this cruisebook you will see the men who made it all happen. I trust you will find this cruisebook a lasting tribute to us all. I am sure it will be more valuable and meaningful with the passage of time. Thirty years from now when USS CARL VINSON is still defending the principles of freedom we believe in, you ' ll be able to look through this book and state, We helped make her proud history possible through our Pursuit of Excellence. J yfU -d USS CARL VINSON ' S NAMESAKE Rep. Carl Vinson (D-Ga.) 1883-1981 ■fif - Carl Vinson was born in Baldwin County, Georgia, on November 18, 1883, the son of Edward S. and Annie Morris Vinson. He attended Georgia Military College in Milledgeville and was graduated from the Mercer University Law School with an LL.B. degree in 1902, beginning practice on June 5 of that year. Rep. Vinson ' s appointment as Baldwin County Prosecutor in 1904 began a career of more than 60 consecutive years of service in public office. In 1909, he was elected to the Georgia General Assembly, serving there until 1912. He returned to Baldwin County in late 1912 to serve as County Court Judge. On November 3, 1914, he was elected to the United States House of Representatives to fdl an unexpired term. He served in Congress for more than 50 years — the longest service of any House Member in our history. Titles such as Father of our Modern Navy and Aviation ' s Elder Statesman barely describe his contributions, for few others have done so much for the defense of our country. Rep. Vinson was among our nations leading advocates of naval power. More than any other person, he was responsible for the buildup of the U.S. Navy and its air power before World War II. Admiral Nimitz, the Pacific Fleet commander, said of him, I do not know where this country would have been after December 7, 1941, if it had not had the ships and the know-how to build more ships fast, for which one Vinson Bill after another was responsible. Carl Vinson ' s philosophy concerning military preparedness throughout his career is just as valid today. The most expensive thing in the world is a cheap Army and Navy, he said, History has shown that weakness invites attack. ' He supported the policy that our naval strike forces, including ships such as the CARL VINSON should be nuclear-powered. Rep. Vinson had served a total of 50 years and one month in the House of Representatives when he retired in January 1965. He returned to Milledgeville where he resided until his death on June 1, 1981.

Vinson during the launching ceremony of USS CARL VINSON. Above: The Ship ' s Sponsor, Mrs. Molly Snead, Rep. Vinson ' s nurse and friend breaks a bottle of champagne during the launching ceremony which Sen. John Warner was the principal speaker. CONSTRUCTION AND COMMISSIONING America is strong, but she is in danger of becoming weak, Rep. Vinson said when the keel of the ship bearing his name was laid on October 11, 1975. This great aircraft carrier will add strength. But it must not stop here . . . Only with determination on the part of our people to remain militarily strong, will we survive. When the CARL VINSON was christened by the congressman ' s nurse and long-time friend, Molly Snead, on March 15, 1980, Mr. Vinson was present, making him the first U.S. citizen to see the launching of a Navy ship named in his honor. It is impossible for me to find words to express my gratitude for the high honor paid me here today, he siad. No event in my life, no event in my future, can ever equal this day. My cup runneth over. My star has reached its zenith. The keel of USS CARL VINSON was laid in October 1975 at Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Corp. The ship is the third in the series of NIMITZ Class nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and was formally commissioned on March 13. 1982. A year after commissioning, the Navy ' s newest aircraft carrier embarked upon an eight month, around-the-world deployment to its new homeport of NAS Alameda. California, where it is pictured on page 5. The other photos depict USS CARL VINSON during various stages of construction. 1 CARL VINSON ' S MISSION and CAPABILITIES The primary mission of USS CARL VINSON, the Navy ' s newest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier is to be ready to employ its power anywhere in the world as directed by the President of the United States. Only by maintaining its equipment and personnel in the highest state of readiness will the CARL VINSON be capable of carrying out its wide variety of missions including anti-air warfare, anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare and electronic warfare. A floating city which displaces approximately 95,000 tons of water, it can move day and night at speeds of more than 30 knots. To serve its nearly 6,000 men, there are most of the facilities found in any small town. Besides living quarters and dining facilities, the ship has a waterworks plant to convert seawater into fresh water, a printing plant to produce everything from training books to a daily newspaper at sea, a weather bureau, machine shops, an oxygen plant, a post office, fire stations, a fully-statTed hospital, stores, a laundry, a library, several television stations, — the list goes on and on. All of this and an airport on the roof. But it is the people who make the CARL VINSON more than a mass of steel plate, electrical cable and pipe. People from every state in the union — officers with decades of military service and others who have just received their college degrees, veteran enlisted men in their 50 ' s and teenaged sailors and airmen away from home for the first time. P ach works in one of 17 specialized departments. Air, Deck, Operations and Reactor to name just four. But leadership, training and a sense of purpose blend nearly 6,000 individual personalities toward one goal — being ever ready to exercise the power of USS CARL VINSON in support of the goals of our country. Team work required for daily flight operations never stops. Catapult and Arresting Gear officers launch and recover the aircraft. Airmen do many jobs such as refuel aircraft and insure chocks and chains are in place to secure parked aircraft. The Air Doss oversees flight operations from primary flight control while air traffic controlmen direct pilots to a safe return to the moving flight deck. 1 nn I rii BOSS ' J Left: USS CARL VINSON is the center of Battle Group Charlie which consists of a mix of destroyers, cruisers, frigates, and support ships.

Flying in excess of 500 knots, the Prowler uses sensitive receivers and high power jammers in an effective combination to deny the enemy use of much of his radar and radio equipment. The sophisticated electronic systems of the EA-6B make it one of the most expensive aircraft in the Air Wing. Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 134 flies the EA-6B from CARL VINSON. A-7E CORSAIR The A-7E Corsair is a single-seat light attack aircraft. It was designed for a multitude of missions, including carrying firepower to distant targets, close air support and intercepting enemy aircraft. The aircraft is capable of carrying a variety of weapons totalling its own weight, and serves as an excellent platform for attack missions. The Corsair is flown from CARL VINSON by Attack Squadrons 27 and 97. E-2C HAWKEVE The E-2C Hawkeye, with the distinctive rotating radar dome, is an airborn early warning, all-weather defensive aircraft. The computers, radar, and communications equipment in the E-2C are used to facilitate wide air strike and trafllc control, area surveillance, search and rescue missions, navigational assistance, and computer relay. The E-2C, nicknamed the Hummer , is flown from the deck of CARL VINSON by Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 1 14. S-3A VIKING The S-3A Viking provides an ideal balance of anti-submarine systems and computer technology to enable it to collect, process, interpret, and store data. With a crew of four, and an endurance time of more than seven hours, the Viking is used primarily for search missions in the vicinity of the carrier task force. The Viking is flown from CARL VINSON by Air Antisubmarine Squadron 29. SH-3H SEA KING The SH-3H Sea King is a gas turbine powered helicopter used for antisubmarine warfare, rescue and assistance missions, and transfer of cargo and personnel between ships at sea. The Sea King helicopters are airborne during all flight operations. Helicopter Squadron 4 flies the Sea King from USS CARL VINSON. A-6E INTRUDER The A-6E Intruder is a medium level attack bomber designed to deliver a variety of ordinance on targets completely obscurred by inclement weather or darkness. Flown by a crew of two, the A-6E can carry five 2,000 pound bombs or twenty-eight 500 pound bombs. The A-6E is flown from CARL VINSON by Attack Squadron 52. The squadron also flies the KA-6D model of the Intruder, which is a tanker version used for in-flight refueling. N;ig !ya.rivas;a CTi?:- mmn J KS S-3A Viking y .

The deployment was a great success in all aspects of demonstrating mission readiness and our determination to preserve peace. The scope and breath of this book encompasses all the events that have transpired since the arrival of USS CARL VINSON to its new homeport of Naval Air Station Alameda. Calif., on Oct. 29. 1983. and the subsequent completion of the ship ' s second major deployment on May 24. 1985. The ship airwing team continually reflected, in its daily performance, the theme Pursuit of Excellence. Throughout workups and the deploy- ment, the ship and its crew consistently demonstrated pride, professional- ism and the determination to carry out all evolutions in Battle Star style. The results have been evident in the divisional, departmental, squad- ron and ship awards received during this period of the ship ' s history. In the following pages, relive and share the memories in the pursuit toward excellence during the 1984-85 deployment to the Western Pacific and Indian Ocean. Sincerely. mw D.E.

WORSHIP 197 COMMUNICATIONS Communications Department ' s two divisions, CR and CS, ensure CARL VINSON ' S voice with the stars remains open. The men of CR Division utilize highly sophisticated communications equipment combined with an automated message distribution system to process over 1,500 messages daily, keeping the crew aware of what is happening over the horizon. Whether it ' s a voice circuit for tactical air control, an American Red Cross birth notice, or a birthday wish sent from home, the professionals of CR Division deliver. The men of CS Division provide reliable, secure and rapid communication at the speed of light. During periods of radio silence, flag hoist, semaphore and flashing light are the primary methods of sending and receiving tactical and maneuvering information when steaming in company with other ships. They provide the officer of the deck with visual identification and position of other ships around CARL VINSON. During inport visits, when visitors are aboard or for official ceremonies on board, the signalmen contribute to the event by hanging the colorful signal flags in the hangar bay, full dressing the ship if required.

Navigation is responsible for the safe navigation of the ship through both inland and international waters. This busy department is one of the smallest on board and is tasked with manning the helm, lee helm and after steering with master helmsmen during all special evolutions, such as sea and anchor details, entering and leaving port, underway replenishments and general quarters. Although CARL VINSON is equipped with the latest in electronic navigational aids, the ship ' s quartermasters must continually verify the ship ' s position like the sailors of old, using dead reckoning, visual fixes and celestial navigation.

The Safety Department facilitates the safety performance of all hands by investigating, reporting and analyzing mishaps which occur onboard. The department also provides safety training by producing magazines, news letters and television productions which describe hazards of shipboard life and thereby increase safety awareness. Through the hard work of all hands, the ship was awarded the Admiral Flatley Memorial Award for 1984 to recognize its overall contribution to aviation safety, which surpassed all other U.S. Navy carriers. 292 I SAFETY CDR Glenn E.

On February 23, 1959, VA-52 was created. In March 1960, the squadron made the first of seven cruises flying A-1 SKYRAIDERS aboard USS TICONDEROGA (CVA-14). In 1967, VA-52 was transferred to NAS Whidbey Island and made the transition to the A-6A INTRUDER. With new aircraft, they operated from USS CORAL SEA (CV-43) with CVW-11, making numerous combat cruises to Southeast Asia and earning the Battle E in 1973. Through the next seven years, VA-52 transitioned to the A-6E TRAM with its forward-looking infrared and laser ranging and designating (FLIR) capability, and as a part of Airwing FIFTEEN won the C()MMATVAQWIN(;PAC bombing competition and the 1980 CNO Safety Award. In March 1983, the squadron left Norfolk, Va., aboard USS CARL VINSON (CVN-701 with the ship ' s first Airwing, CVW-15. During the Operational Readiness Evaluation, VA-52 was the only squadron to receive a mark of outstanding and later won the lailhook award for the best landing grades. The KNKiHTRIDERS deployed again with (ARE VINSON for the 1984-85 WESIPAC: and received the Battle E for 1984. CDR Donald L. Sullivan Commanding Officer CDR J.M. Burin CDR C.J. Roed IXDR I .A.

The squadron presently operates five different types of aircraft, including the VA-3B, EA-3B, EP-3B. EP-3E and P-3B. Its primary mission is conducting electronic reconnaissance in support of fleet operations, in order to obtain information and intelligence on areas and targets of naval interest. To better perform its assigned missions, VQ-l maintains detachments at various WESTPAC locations and on all aircraft carriers operating in the Pacific. With the arrival of Detachment CHARLIE, USS CARL VINSON (CVN ' -70) was able to greatly extend its ability to gather vital information in support of daily operations. Time and time again the WHALES of VQ-l Det CHARLIE provided invaluable support, continually demonstrating the vital need of the unique capabilities the WHAI.ES brought to USS CARL VINSON. It was with many unforgettable memories that Detachment CHARLIE departed CARL VINSON in early May 1985. CDR M.V. Durazo OIC Det Charlie 428 I VQ-l VQ-l I 429 AZ2T.W. Marth AME2 J.C. Monroe PR2 I.R.
