The first ship ever commissioned by the United States Navy; the first ship put to sea; the first ship to engage, defeat and cap- ture an enemy vessel, was the three- masted, square-rigged frigate, Constellation . It began on March 27, 1794, when a special act of Congress made provisions for building the U.S. Navy its first new ships. There were six frigates and each were given symbolic names which the new country could rally around. Their names: Constitution, Congress, Chesa- peake, United States, and Pres- ident. Constellation bared the most revered name of all. This name symbolized - the w hite ring or Constellation of stars in a blue field, on the new American flag and for that, the fledgling Con- gress held this name in high regard. (Bac to the ast Built in Harris Creek Shipyard at Baltimore ' s Fells Point, it had a beam of 41 feet with a length of 164 feet. It carried a main battery of 36 guns, displaced 1,278 tons, with a crew compliment of 340 men. On September 7, 1797, the frigate Constellation was launched just in time as the United States entered its first naval conflict. The Quasi War (1798-1801). This was largely Constellation ' s War. On February 9, 1799, fighting true to its name. Constellation fought and captured the 36 gun frigate L ' Insurgente-the fastest ship in the French Navy. Under command of the legend- ary Captain Thomas Truxtun, it was the first battle by one of the six original frigates. This was a great achievement for the young United States Navy, and first major victory for an American designed and built warship. More victories were to follow. Captain Truxtun and Constellation fought a second single-ship action in February 1800; a night encoun- ter with France ' s 54 gun frigate La Vengeance. Constellation was again victorious, winning a bloody and violent five hour battle. French sailors, amazed at Constellation ' s ability attain a thrilling speed of 13 knots, while sailing under nearly an acre of canvas sails, nicknamed her Yan- .kee Racehorse . Both battles were cause for celebration throughout the new republic. Constellation had aggressively defended America ' s right of safe passage on the seas for its merchant ships. These first naval victories served notice to the world that the United States would defend her honor and freedom at all costs. While these victories were important, Truxtun and Constel- lation made even greater strides A system of conduct, discipline, gunnery signals and ge neral naval operations were put into effect under Captain Truxtun. His system blazed a trail of efficiency and success, and is the foundation of U.S. Naval proce- dures used today. Constellation would continue i to serve with distinction in the , Barbary Wars against Tripoli and the War of 1812 against ! Great Britain. In 1840, Constel lation completed an historic voyage around the world, in- cluding being the first U.S. warship to enter the inland waters of China. ,1 Connie Connies H ATI ON CCV-64 i After more than 50 years of extraordinary service, the U.S. Frigate Constellation was thor- oughly worn out. In 1853 she was broken up at the Gosport Naval Yard in Norfolk, Virginia. But the name of Constellation would live on. In 1854, the U.S. Sloop of War Constellation was launched from Gosport. With similar dimensions to her fa- mous predecessor, she carried 23 guns, had a crew compliment of 20 Officers, 220 sailors, and 45 Marines. The ship displaced 1,400 tons with a beam of 42 feet and a length of 176 feet. The new ship ' s first assign- ment was to thwart the slave tradeoff the coast of Africa. She captured two slavers and re- leased the imprisoned slaves. At the outbreak of the Civil War, Constellation made the first Union Navy capture, overpower- ing the slaver brig Triton in coastal waters off Africa. After the war. Constellation saw vari- ous duties such as carrying fam- ine relief stores to Ireland, and transporting precious American works of art to the Paris Exposi- tion (1895). ac to tHe Tuture In 1894, Constellation became a training ship for the Naval Training Center in Newport, R.I. In addition to being used extensively as a train- ing ship for Naval Academy Midship- men, she also helped train more than 60,000 recruits during World War I. Decommissioned in 1933, Con- stellation was recommissioned as a national monument on August 24, 1940 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Shortly after the country ' s entry into World War II, she became the flagship for Admi- rals Ernest J. King and Royal Ingersoll. The treasured warship was decommissioned in February 1955 and was taken home to her permanent berth in Balti- more Harbor. Now a national Historic Landmark, she is the last existing Civil War era naval vessel and last sail-powered warship built by the U.S. Navy. Ironically, just as the aircraft carrier USS CONSTELLATION (CV 64) was beginning her 19th overseas deployment, the U.S. Sloop of War, Constellation completed a $9-million restora- tion project in July 1999, allow- ing a new generation to learn about this historic vessel. •««nie ' s History ij-. +nrv Connie ' ' 7««nie ' s History itory Connies imMmmm AMERICA ' S FLAGSHUP 40 YEARS AMERICA ' S FLAGSHIP The USS CONSTELLATION (CV-64) was built at the New York Naval shipyard and was the second ship designed in the Kitty Hawk class of aircraft carriers. Connie was commissioned on October 27, 1 96 1 , under the motto Spirit of the Old, Pride of the New. CONSTELLA- TION has been homeported at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, CA since July 1962. BATTLE TESTED In August 1 964, in the Gulf of Tonkin CONSTELLATION was immediately put to the test. Responding to North Viet- namese attacks on U.S. destroyers, CONSTELLATION launched its own attacks against North Vietnamese vessels and bases. The first of any kind against the North Vietnamese by a U.S. Warship. Over the next eight years CONSTELLA- TION would return to South China Sea for a total seven combat cruises, conduct- ing air strikes against heavily fortified North Vietnamese positions, engaging naval targets and shooting down enemy aircraft. On May 10, 1972, LT. Randy Cunninghaman and LTJG Willie DriscoU, flying off Connie ' s deck became theyirsr U.S. aces of the Vietnam War by downing three MiGs in one day and a total of five in four months. In 1980, CONSTELLATION set a new endurance mark for that time by remaining on station a record 1 10 consecutive days. During WESTPAC ' 87 CONSTELLA- TION provided vital air cover for the escort of U.S. flagged oil tankers through the Arabian Gulf On January 11,1 995, CONSTELLA- TION again entered the Persian Gulf With Carrier Air Wing TWO embarked, CONSTELLATION patrolled and en- forced the U.N. backed No-Fly zone over southern Iraq in support of OPERATION SOUTHERN WATCH. The ship also conducted maritime intercept missions also in support of U.N. sanctions against Iraq. These operations continued through the 1997, 1999 and 2001 deployments. HAILED BY COMMANDER IN CHIEFS Prior to CONSTELLATION ' S fourth Western Pacific deployment in 1968 President Lyndon Johnson made a suiprise visit to the ship and visited with the crew. During the Viemam War, President Richard Nixon awarded the Presidential Unit Citation to the CONSTELLATION for its actions in Southeast Asia. In the Summer of 1981, President Ronald Reagan presented CONSTELLATION with a presidential flag and proclaimed CONSTELLATION America ' s Flagship, the official monicker used by the ship today. RETROFIT RETROSPECT In 1975, the USS CONSTELLATION . was re-designated CV from CVA following a detailed and complex overhaul that enabled the ship to deploy with the S- 3 A Viking (anti-submarine) and F- 1 4 Tomcat (fighter) aircraft. In 1982, CONSTELLATION returned to the yards, this time in Bremerton, Washing ton. Naval aviation had undergone vast changes in the past 20 years, and it was time to modernize and refurbish Connie. When Connie returned from the yards in 1984, the ship was completely new. The ship was now able to carry the Navy ' newest strike fighter, the F A- 1 8 Hornet. , The ship was also fitted with the new PHALANX radar-guided gattling gun, tw new flush deck catapults and the NATO Sea Sparrow Missile System. In February 1 990, Connie underwent a $800 million Service Life Extension Pro- gram (SLEP) overhaul. Every system wa- upgraded and Connie ' s life span was extended 15 years. In 1998 the CON- STELLATION returned to Bremerton. There, the ship underwent an extensivg rehabilitation of its berthing and woric spaces, technological upgrades, repair of two shafts and a complete repainting at a cost of $80 million dollars. CONNIE Saturday October 27,2001 marked the USS CONSTELLATION ' S 40th year as commissioned battleship. In September 200 1 , Connie completed its 20 th deploy ment. During this deployment Connie held the first of its kind graduation i ceremony at sea, in the Persian Gulf in honor of 144 Sailors and Marines who earned college degrees and cerificates | through various programs offered onboar( ship. In years to come other U.S. ships will try to duplicate and maybe surpass what the ship affecfionately known as Connie has done. But, like its predece sors CONSTELLATION, will always be... the first! Let friend and foe alike know that America has the muscle to back up its words, and ships like this and men like you, are that muscle you are America ' s Flagship. -President Ronald Reagan August 20, 1 98 1.

Burroughs The mission of the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department (AIMD) is to provide the finest possible readiness for Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) and the Constellation Battle Group. We do this by providing the highest quality intermediate level maintenance, inspection, calibration, component repair, and support equipment while ensuring the overall wellbeing of our most valuable asset — The AIMD Depart- ment. AIMD ' s manning consists of seven officers, 22 Chief Petty Officers and 406 enlisted technicians. The four divisions of AIMD are: Staff (IM-1), General Aircraft Maintenance (IM-2), Avionics Armament (IM- 3) and Support Equipment (IM-4). They are subdivided in forty-eight different work centers, each with a specialized support function. Working as a team, AIMD utilizes more than 13,000 equipment lines items to support the many and varied systems installed in CVW-2 aircraft. AIMD has the capability to test, repair, and service more than 18,000 individual repairable components. The levels of the repair ranges from micro- miniature avionics components to large complex work on jet engines. Altogether, AIMD processes more than 2,000 repairable components per month while deployed. IM-1 Division The spirited mission oriented personnel of Production Control, Logs and Records and Material Control keep AIMD ' s production efforts constantly focused on air wing support. Quality Assurance is the conscience of AIMD, ensuring compliance to programs and proce- dures. Maintenance Administration makes certain vital communications are flowing within and outside the department. Our personnel management of programs and training plans has resulted in the assembly of one of the finest Aircraft Maintenance Departments to ever leave San Diego for a Western Pacific deployment.

Our Chaplain ' s Department has rcessed and delivered more than 750 American Red Cross messages. Regardless of the contents of the messages, the tiplains were always there to congratulate, assist, or offer spiritual respite and hope during times of crisis to the service Mibers. atment coordinated the Ui videotaped reading books to their lidren. This tape was mailed home where the children could see and interact with their parents. During this cruise, 225 rvmembers took advantage of this program. Service members found a quiet place to go within the Chaplain Department spaces. A Crew ' s Lounge, offering the oifort of a living room has been made available to the crew on a 24-hour basis. In that space, one could watch television, li video games or just relax with friends. The Library offers a good selection of books for loan as well as a number of oiputers, which can be used to e-mail friends and family back home. Additional computers are available in the e-mail annex l! for this purpose. In an effort to continue developing engagement in other cultures, the Chaplain Department sponsored various com- 1 iity relations projects (COMRELS). These opportunities enabled others to see the very best qualities of Constellation a rs through the many shipmates who donated their free time in foreign ports to assist others. Home repairs were made n visits to hospitals and orphanages were conducted to bring the wonderful joyous spirit of the United States and the Navv oithers. Bringing hope and joy to others has been the goal of the Chaplain Department, a goal which we know has been met. 11 David Cline RPC(S V) Richard Kleiner RPC (S V7AW FMF) Rex Silvestre RP2(FMF) Jay Aylor RP3 Fernando Martinez SM3 Sean Ruddv RP3(FMF) Michael Sandoval RP3(S ) Gregory- Wiemann RPSR Stephen Johnson I Mt 4 il t ttetfCMNitMUViUig in 101 .

When you con- sider the capabilities of the F A-18 Hornet, the most advanced aircraft in the Marine Corps Navy in- ventory, our mission statement grossly underesti- mates what the Hornet brings to the table. The Hornet is the single most versatile platform to ever fly off the deck of any aircraft carrier. It ' s the most agile dogflghter, carries the widest assortment of ordnance, delivers that ordnance with unmatched accuracy, and last, but not least, is the most reli- able and survivable aircraft in the fleet. As good as the Hornet is, no single aircraft can replace the combat power created by the dedi- cation to excellence of Marines and Sailors in CVW-2.

The Kestrels received their first Lot VIII F A-18 Homet on Nov. 25, 1985. After an mitial stand-up period the squadron completed its first major training Detachment in Yuma, Ariz., in June 1986. In October of that year the squadron received the Silver Anchor Award for new construction squadrons. In September 1992, the squadron completed a homeport change to Lemoore, Calif, and began transitioning to the night attack capable, enhanced perfonnance Lot XV F A-18C. In May 1993, the squadron joined Carrier Air Wing Two, and embarked on Constellation fresh out of o erhaul for a South American transit. The Kestrels deployed aboard USS Constellation for their first Western Pacific deployment on Nov. 11, 1994, assisting in the enforcement of the United Nations no-fly zone above Iraq supporting Operation Southern Watch. The Kestrels have deployed on Connie in 1997, 1999, and 2001. During WestPac ' 99 the Kestrels logged the 10,000th trap of the cruise in the 1 0,000th airplane delivered to the armed forces by the McDonnell Douglas Aircraft company. During the 200 1 deployment the Kestrels once again became part of Constellation history as LCDR William Ipock logged the 375,000 ' arrested landing on board Connie since her commissioning in October 1 96 1 . The squadron has a complement of 12 F A-18C aircraft, 24 Officers and 173 Enlisted personnel.

VAW 116 operates the twin turbo prop E-2C Hawkeye aircraft. The Hawkeye is capable of all weather carrier and shore-based operations. The E-2C is 57 feet long, has an 80-feet 7-inch wingspan and weighs 55,000 pounds at maximum gross weight. Its most distinguishing physical characteristics are its four vertical stabilizers and its 24-foot diameter, dished shaped rotodome mounted six feet above the fuselage. With its advanced radar and robust communications suite, the E-2C has earned the nickname the eyes of the fleet. The five-man crew consists of a pilot, copilot, combat information center officer, air control officer, and radar operator. The highly skilled crew works as a coordinated team to perform many diverse missions, including airborne early warning, command and control, tactical air intercept control, battle space management, and many other dynamic missions. With its myriad of computer data links, the Hawkeye provides the battle group commander with a fully fused and integrated surface and air picture for hundreds of miles around the carrier.

Kolhmlng the Vietnam War, the (Griffins became the first SW Squadron to move to the large deck carrl- s where they transitioned to the S-3 Vi- king. In February of I99«. the Crifllns began to focus on armed strike support capabilities along with an already documented ASVV etper- 0.

WESTPAC ' 92 sent the squadron to the Arabian Gulf to aid In enforcing the no-fly one In support of Opera- tion Southern Watch, utilizinK the S-3A. The CrilTms set the standard by which other squad- rons would be measured during DSS Ranger ' s final deploy- ment. They were the first carrier-based squadron to con- duct ASW In the Arabian Gulf and the Initial platform to locate and track the first Iranian owned Kilo class diesel submarine. Then the Griirins left the Gulf and proceeded to the Northeast coast of Africa to take part in Operation Re- store Hope. After just four months ashore, VS-38 returned to sea aboard Constellation for a two-month transit around the horn of South America. VS-38 conducted ASW and war- at-sea exercises with Air Wing Two and its South American allies. Upon returning to San Diego, the Red Griffins transitioned their aircraft to the S-3B upgrade. This transi- tion has made the Viking a multi-mission aircraft. In Octo- ber 1993, the squadron ofiicially became Sea Control Squad- ron Thirty-Eight, a name that more accurately reflects the expanded role and multl-mlsslon capabilities of the S-3B Viking. VS-38 has made four Western Pacific Deployments on board Connie since escorting her around the horn. In 2000, the Griffins were recognized for more than 60,000 mishap-free flight hours over the past fifteen years.

The squadron is assigned to Carrier Air Wing Two, and requires a manning level of 24 officers and 158 enlisted personnel to operate, maintain and support six Sikorsky Seahawk SH-60F and HH-60H helicopters. HS-2 ' s primary missions are under sea warfare(USW), surface warfare (SUW), and combat search and rescue (CSAR) in support of carrier battle group operations. The squadron also provides sup- port in naval special warfare; visit, board, search and seizure; surface surveillance; counter targeting and logistics to include vertical replenishment, medical evacuations, and personnel transfers. The SH-60F and HH-60H are highly versa- tile and extremely maneuverable, medium-lift heli- copters. The SH-60F is equipped with an AN AQS- 13F dipping sonar use to detect enemy submarines. The aircraft is also capable of launching three MK- 46 or mK-50 torpedoes, making it the most effective close-in anti-submarine warfare asset in the naval arsenal.

Constellation made its first port visit of the 2001 cruise. Normally one of the last foreign ports seen after a long six month journey, Sydney was first this time around. Much to the delight of the crew, the ship sailed through the south Pacific Ocean instead of the usual northern route. Constellation offered free tours of the ship, in which thou- sands of local residents lined up and waited as long as three hours to view this mighty vessel. The crew also took advantage of great tour packages, including trips to Three Sisters Mountain Park, Jenolan Caves, the famous Opera House (right). Feather- dale Wildlife Park and many others. Constellation also hosted a reception for Australian guests and dignitaries. _ — — ' . : HHp ef i SA H -■ yry i,., - - n 422 S ygr- 1 J ® t - 1 |l ■ i V C ' -T === ' WP 1 .«• •« i;i ' I %r 9 - WET ' ' 1 -; WW f ' i f« K r ' !i !s : ' 1 - 5JEr: P f T K- : - p .- -. ■- - aHHH ' ' ' i rSilLZll. .

The crew looked forward to another exciting visit to one of their favorite ports. Again, there was plenty to do, including tours, shopping and recreation. This was the final port visit before entering t he Strait of Hormuz, entrance to the Persian Gulf, where the Con- stellation would be on station for the next three months-ready for battle. 427 429 Thousands gathered to view USS CONSTELLATION. It was estimated that 30,000 people visited the ship during its stay. USS CONSTELLATION (CV-64) tied piersidc in Jebel Ali, UAE Constellation made the first of four scheduled port visits to the Persian Gulf Seaport of Jebel Ali, United Arab Emirates, on Sunday, May 13, 2001, Mother ' s Day in the U.S. It was on this date. Captain J.D. Kelly was relieved as Commanding Officer by Captain John W. Miller. Crew members were treated to upgraded facilities within the compound of the ship . There was fast food, a swimming pool area, MWR service office, laundromat and nightly entertainment. The Kasbah Center offered internet computers, billiards and swimming pools. Temperatures rose into the lOO ' s and the crew beat the heat by traveling north to the city of Dubai or south to Abu Dhabi (Capital of UAE) where local indoor shopping malls, and tours were waiting. The crew also enjoyed softball, basketball and volleyball tournaments. Constellation made four visits to Jebel Ali during the 2001 deploy- ment. 432 ) ■ m M.mM S I ■.•.
