OPERATION MAINBRACE ft The NATO training exercise known by the code name Mainbrace took place from 13th of September 1952 to 25th September 1952. It was intended to exercise the shore-based Maritime air forces placed under the command of ComAirNorLant during the North Atlantic Command Operation in support of the northern flank of the Allied European Command. The U.S.S. CURRITUCK was placed under the Air Commander Northern Sub Area for the purpose of supporting VP-49 and VP-661, and No. 230 Squadron British RAF, who participated in reconnais- sance sorties off the coast of Norway in the North Atlantic. The main objective of our task group was to scout for and destroy the invading forces if possible. The CURRITUCK departed Norfolk on the 23rd of August 1952 and arrived off the coast of Norway on the 2nd of September 1952. A pilot was taken aboard and the ship traveled the fjords of Norway for ninety (90) miles to Trondheim. Upon arriving, we fired a twenty-one (21) gun salute, in honor of the country of Norway, and we in turn, received a salute from the Norwegians. We departed the next day and traveled up the fjords to Alstakay, Skogn, Norway, and anchored for our operations. Liberty parties were taken by bus to Trondheim and some men went to the nearby town of Skogn. The men enjoyed themselves and the Norwegian people were extremely friendly. We stayed in Norway and operated our squadrons for 20 days, before departing for Leith, Scotland. The Scotish weather made boat- ing impossible and we stayed on the ship for three (3) full days, unable to get ashore. When the men finally got ashore, they were cordially welcomed, especially by the Bonnie Scotch Lassies. Many a sailor hated to see our ship sail from our liberty port, Edinburgh, Scotland. A few men were fortunate enough to get leave and visited London and Paris during our stay. We departed the 7th of October 1952 for the good old USA, and arrived at our homeport of Norfolk on 17th of October 1952.
