UVAVNUK Greenland Eskimo United States Ship Constellation (CVA - 64) - wl rvT. r U.S.S. Constellation w 964 J Introduction This is the picture story of a mighty ship, the largest con- ventionally powered aircraft carrier in the world. This great warship spent the majority of 1964 away from home, including one deployment to the Western Pacific, in sup- port of our nation ' s policies and for the protection of our friends. Some of the months were just plain work, including one 51 day period when we constantly steamed. Some weeks were spent on exercises, necessary to insure and retain readiness. Some weeks involved support of our friends, support under actual fire from the forces of evil who tried to stop us. A few days were spent in various ports for maintenance, upkeep, and liberty. The vast, complex, proud, and fantastically efficient team of Carrier Division NINE, Carrier Air Wing FOURTEEN, and the U. S. S. CONSTELLATION are presented in these pages. VF- 4Z.

MINARD (TO 1 JULY) Weapons Department, over 500 men strong, plus thirty officers, occupies spaces for the forecastle to the fantail and from the 0-10 level to the 7th deck. The department has a large variety of tasks, ranging from the maintenance of the external surfaces of the ship to stowing ammunition used by the aircraft embarked aboard. The internal secur- ity of the ship, the operation of the ship ' s ground tackle, and the main- tenance of the Terrier Missile system and launchers all come under Weapons Department cognizance. Maintenance of airlaunched missiles and special weapons handling are also included. Other responsibilities include operation of the ship ' s paint locker, the ship ' s boats, rigging for underway replenishments, training of the ship ' s Landing Party, and administration of the ships armory and brig. The department is organized into ten divisions, including the Marine Detachment. First, Second, Third, Fourth, and Fifth Divisions combine to form the Deck Group. Sixth Division and Fox Division work closely to operate and maintain the Terrier missiles. Fire Control system, and launchers. G and W Divisions work together to provide bombs, rockets, and other ammunition for the defense of CONSTELLATION and for strike commitments. 70 ■=5 t I 71 72 73 iV . yf m • r S RlilMl l 74 4 76 77 78 T- t f 79 80 Marine Detachment The ship ' s Marine Detachment has the primary function of provid- ing internal security for the ship as evidenced by Marine sentries guarding spaces and weapons as v ell as dangerous or contaminated areas.

Able to carry its own weight in con- ventional ordnance, the reliable Spad was continually called upon to support opera- tions in South Vietnam, North Vietnam and Laos. 110 This was in addition to their nuclear capability which was main- tained throughout the cruise. The SWORDSMEN were called on again and again to display the versatility of their airplane; the Navy ' s finest propeller-attack type aircraft.

The squadron ' s SKYHAWKS, by their speed and capacity to carry their own weight in fuel and weapons, contribute significantly to the con- siderable striking power of the Air Wing. VA-146 is the only squadron in the Air Wing qualified to fire the Bullpup, an air-to-ground missile guided electronically to its target by the pilot of the launching aircraft. In addition to a varied choice of conventional ordnance, VA-146 air- craft have a nuclear weapon capability. Professionalism and accuracy of delivery are the hallmarks of the Blue Diamond Squadron. ; 1 P 117 i k ' •i«to mV M NA« ' S5Sf3SSI?i. ' r 119 b. .

The Seventh Fleet The United States SEVENTH FLEET, world s largest task fleet, maintains surveillance throughout nearly one sixth of the earth ' s sur- face or thirty million square miles, from the Siberian coastal waters in the North and Antarctica and from the Indian Ocean in the West to 160 degrees east longitude, a point about 1,200 miles east of the U.S. territory of Guam. Comprised of some 125 ships, 650 aircraft and 64,000 highly trained Navy and Marine Corps personnel, the SEVENTH FLEET is dispersed throughout this vast ocean area, acting as a deterrent force against enemy aggression in the Western Pacific and insuring that the sea lanes are kept open for free world trade. Organizationally, the SEVENTH FLEET is formed into five major task forces and ten task groups, of which the hardest hitting element is the modern, high-speed attack carrier striking force. It consists of three attack carriers forming the core of three carrier strike groups, each capable of moving to any troubled area in the Western Pacific. Supporting the fast carrier force are cruisers and destroyers on which the Fleet ' s heavy artillery is concentrated. Their surface striking power provides both anti-aircraft protection and cover for amphibious operations. V COMSEVENTHFLT Vice Admiral Roy L.

The vast majority of the other photos shov n here were taken by CONNIEs OP (Photo) Division. Since all this was in addition to their normal work, and since their workload on this cruise was so much heavier than normal, this book is a tribute to the spirit and skill of professionals. Many, many thanks! Cruise Book Credits The following personnel kindly volun- teered personal photos and or color slides.
