C -,f'w..:Li,a, .ff preface ENTERPRISE, VOLUMBTI-IREE Three years ago, the United States Ship ENTEERPRYSE lwasEco'mmissioned, marking the beginning of a new era of naval power. As theihrst aircraft carrier to utilize a nuclear reactor for its propulsion system, it is also the only ship of its size and kind anywhere in the world. The nuclear ENTERPRISE represents a magnificent joint achievement of private industry and military planning, and serves as a fitting memorial to the Big E, so indispensable 'to the success of our eyfjorts in the Second World War This giant among attack carriersis a tribute, as well, to the very way of life which permitted her creation, a way of life we as Americans share with no other nation in the world. Throughout our history, the accomplishments and actions of Americans have been characterized by the quality of enterprise, which may be described as a bold and adventurous spirit, a readi- ness to undertake important and challenging projects, an energy of mind and body. Enterprise created this country, building through the years the incomparable nation in which we live today. It is particularly jitting that this word, so basic to our existence, our economy and our thinking, be emblazoned-on a ship of such complete distinction. f I I J A . 117. Q23 X5 .ffd .- xj 4 QC! 1 l.

DE POIX FIRST COMMANDING OFFICER We have inherited probably the most illustrious name in the history of our country's Navy, that of ENTERPRISE I ENTERPRISE, CHAPTER ONE ENTERPRISE has been a sloop, a schooner, a World War II carrier and, today, one of the Navy's first line defense ships and biggest of its attack carriers. She has been powered by sail, by steam and by nuclear reactors. Her crew has varied from fifty to five thousand. The seventh ENTERPRISE was the first carrier to receive a Presidential Unit Citation and became part of the heart of a nation at war as the legendary Big E. The fifth ENTERPRISE made a major cruise around the world, lasting thirty-eight months, contributing important hydro- graphic Endings and other discoveries to the scientific world. Today's ENTER- PRISE, the first nuclear powered carrier in the world and the largest ship afloat has already played an historic role in her three year old reign as Queen of the Seas, with three Mediterranean deployments and an incredible 'round the world cruise already accomplished. If all eight ships named ENTERPRISE have been different, assuming divergent roles and possessing varied capabilities, they have all been united in their common service of the United States of America. The name has been worn with consistent glory and is upheld in that tradition today by the eighth ENTERPRISE . . . CVA CND-65 . . . the Navy's mightiest and newest attack carrier. This is a great heritage, an overwhelming responsibility and an extraordinary challenge for the future . . . 31 The eighth ship to be named ENTERPRISE, latest in a proud line of American naval vessels, was born at keel laying ceremonies held 4 February 1958 at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company, Newport News, Virginia. She was launched on 24 September 1960 and christened by the wife of the Secretary of the Navy, Mrs. William B. Franke. The new Big E began her Builderls and Navy Pre-Acceptance Trials at sea on 29 October 1961. She fulfilled and, in many cases, exceeded the Navy's ex- pectations. She easily outran her destroyer escorts and broke all existing records for heavy combatant ships. Admiral George W. Anderson, then Chief of Naval Operations, commented, ENTERPRISE has exceeded forty miles an hour in her initial trials. I think we hit the jackpot! Captain V. P. de Poix took command and placed ENTERPRISE in commission on 25 November 1961. The Honorable John B. Connally, Jr., then Secretary of the Navy and now Governor of Texas, was one of the more than thirteen thousand people who witnessed the ceremony. In his address, he called the ship a worthy successor to the World War II Big E and said, She will reign a long, long time as Queen of the Seas. The new Big E went to sea on 12 January and Commander George C. Tulley made the first arrested landing on her four and a half acre flight deck on 17 January. The 1000th landing was made less than a month later on 15 February. She finished her two months shakedown cruise on 15 April with the highest score ever made by an aircraft carrier on shakedown or refresher training. ENTERPRISE joined the Second Fleet on 25 June and performed creditably in type training and Heet exercises. On 16 August she joined the Sixth Fleet, the first nuclear powered surface ship to enter the Mediter- ranean, bringing into that area for the first time the Navy's two newest and fastest aircraft . . . the 1600 mph F4B Phantom II and the Mach 2+ ASA Vigilante. Enroute to the Mediterranean, the new attack carrier participated in RIPTIDE III, a NATO exercise, with forces from the United States, United Kingdom, France and Portugal. After visiting ports of call at Cannes, France and Naples, Italy, she participated in a second NATO exercise with units of the Sixth Fleet, United Kingdom, Greece and Turkey. - Returning to her home port at Norfolk, Virginia on 11 October, ENTERPRISE had recorded more than 8,000 arrested landings. Just a week later, she was ordered to sea to take part in the quarantine of Cuba, from which she returned in early December. After spending Christmas holidays berthed in Nor- folk, the Big El' began preparing for her second de- ployment to the Mediterranean and again joined the Sixth Fleet on 16 February 1963. The first port of call was Cannes, France, where some three thousand visitors were received aboard the ship. Athens was the next port and among those who visited the ship were the late King Paul I and Queen Fredericka of Greece. Palermo, Sicily, Naples, Taranto and Genoa in Italy, Corfu, Athens and Rhodes in Greece, Beirut, Lebanon, and Barcelona, Spain were visited before leaving the Mediterranean in late August. During the six months in the Mediterranean, the nuclear-powered carrier steamed approximately fifty thousand miles and recorded almost 12,000 aircraft launchings. Captain V. P. De Poix, who had commanded the ship since commissioning, was relieved by Captain F. H. Michaelis at Cannes on July 20th. In August, ENTERPRISE was awarded the Battle Eiiiciency Pennant for fiscal year 1963. In competition with all other U.S. Atlantic Fleet attack aircraft carriers she had achieved the highest rank in overall efliciency and readiness as demonstrated by battle drills, exercises, inspections and other facets of naval preparedness. It was the first time that the pennant had been awarded to a carrier after only one year in commission. Also in August, the Chief of Naval Operations se- lected ENTERPRISE to receive the Marjorie Sterrett Battleship Fund Award for aviation ships of the Atlantic W W WM I X, , Fleet for fiscal year 1963. The award is presented annually to ships which have won Battle Efliciency E'sl' and demonstrated outstanding readiness and fitness as integrated units. This is the highest award for which ENTERPRISE was eligible. Arriving in early September at her Norfolk home port, the Big E alternated periods in port for main- tenance and upkeep with periods at sea with the Second Fleet until early February when final preparations were completed for departure for a third assignment with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. This book tells the story of that third Mediter- ranean cruise . . . and the around the world cruise as flagship of Task Force One which followed. It is a further chapter in the inspiring history already written by a ship only three years old whose heritage reaches back to the American Revolution and whose future ex- tends as far as man can see.

MICHAELIS COMMANDING OFFICER In this day the world must be made to realize that we have the strength to keep the sea lines of com- munication open to keep joined together the free nations of the world. E ENTERPRISE CHAPTER TWO To successfully operate ENTERPRISE as a vital part of the Navy's team requires a thorough understanding of her many unique capabilities. She is like other attack carriers of similar size in many ways . . . she is designed to launch aircraft, she can recover them. Her sensitive radar can pinpoint enemy and friendly aircraft and keep track of other ships at sea. She is a mammoth and complicated piece of machinery and like her sister ships, she requires a big cmw and a wide range of skills and technical abilities to keep her running with smooth perfection. But ENTERPRISE's resemblance to other carriers stops when her unique propulsion system is taken into account. She is the world's only nuclear powered attack carrier and this has vast implications in every area of the ship's operations. Because of her nuclear propulsion, she can move faster, range wider, cruise longer. Because of her propulsion system, she requires no refueling for years at a time and is thus more self sustaining, more independent, consequently more mobile. Because of her propulsion system, she has more space in which advanced radar systems can be installed, more aviation fuel stored, a more efficient distribution of available area made. She can move with extraordinary grace, turn on a dime, reach her top speed in minutes, and handle with devastating speed and accuracy. She can, simply, do a better job. ENTERPRISE is, then, more than a powerful instrument for defense. She has materially contributed to the development of peaceful uses of the atom and as the Secretary of the Navy, Paul H. Nitze said, For the Navy, the emergence of nuclear power as a means of ship propulsion is comparable in importance to the transition from sail and wood to steam and steel. This transition is reflected in the daily operations of this great carrier . . . 35 l v J l l i i ! l l Gai History has proclaimed Jane 6, 1944 T he Longest Day, bat the ENTERPRISE remembers May Z 1964 for that distinction. A RECORD DAY Since the commissioning of ENTERPRISE, her history has been one of record-setting achievements, As a ship still under construction she could be described only in superlatives . . . the longest, the -biggest, the most powerful. To such a ship falls a special responsibility, for she must continue to outdo others, to make of her operating history a story comparable to that of her unparalleled creation. Out of the many astounding feats of the Big E came one such record-making day when in one continuous operation, ENTERPRISE took on stores, ammunition and fuel in a long unbroken chain of human activity. Side by side with the great carrier rode the smaller ships . . . a succession of them bearing food, rockets and bombs and aviation fuel to fill the tanks, refrigerators and storage spaces of the mammoth carrier. One by one they performed their appointed tasks and hurried off as the mighty Queen of the Seas remained on the job, utilizing a great chain of hands, arms and mechani- cal devices . . . using hilines and helicopters . . . to do a job and do it, ENTERPRISES way . . . outstandingly. As ENTERPRISE stands by, the replenishment ship, USS ALT AIR, maneuvers into position. - - , 1 ' 3 I 1 'M' 'I' 1-.'A. -lv' T.: fr. -,- -Les.--ff J'-wa-1 av-A -- :fr.4.- 1 V A - - , 4, . - . .- .- .W . , .

But she is more than a triumph of American design and industry, a record-smasher, a headline dazzler. ENTERPRISE is one of the fleet's hardest Working fast attack carriers and as such she has had to develop that precise level of teamwork, skill and experience which Will permit her to operate successfully in this capac- ity. The essential role of this mammoth carrier is to launch and re- cover aircraft. This her designers made possible, but only her men, working the long tedious hours of flight operations, can make work- able. If she is bigger, it is to hold more planes and move them about -more easily . . . if she is faster, it is not to set speed records, although this does happen, but to enable her to be even more mobile and flexible than her sister ships, capable of carrying her deadly planes to any point on the globe within hours. If she is a superb tri- umph of the latest ideas and the most forward looking vision, these have been put to work simply to enable her to ily planes better. As one of the mighty team 'of America's front line defense ships, she is an operating reality from Whose immense angled ilight deck four roaring jets can be simultaneously launched, each bearing the wea- pons that serve today in the cause of peace, but which tomorrow might be called upon in a moment of crisis. 1 , X gb., , .1 To further highlight the sense R g f 1 Q ,,,e fi .

ENTERPRISE CHAPTER THREE The dictionary defines the word ship t as any vessel intended or used for navigating the water, esp. one of large size and not propelled by oars, paddles or the like. That description would seem to fit ENTERPRISE and yet, of course, she is vastly more. An alternative definition, the personnel of a vesseli' would seem to lend further meaning and dimension, for within that single phrase rests much of what makes up ENTERPRISE . . . The Ship. ENTERPRISE is often described as a floating city, rather than a ship and these words seem to convey something larger than a vessel, something infinitely more complex. The ship is a framework of metal for the life which must breathe within, a shelter, in fact, for her personnel. It is their work, their needs, their interests which determine the degree to which ENTERPRISE becomes more than a ship but a place in which men can work, live, sleep, eat and enjoy one another's company. Thus, in fact, she is a small city, fully equipped to deal with the various essentials, desires, emergencies and requirements of life.. This city of five thousand persons is a busy one. Its lights blaze day and night,' machinery hums, chatters, roars, without regard for the hour. Men get sick, are cared for, and recover in a modern hospital. They need cavities filled, stomachs satiated, minds stimulated . . . the means are aboard. There is a laundry, dry cleaning plant, tailor shop, post office. There is a place to buy toothpaste, an imported wrist watch, a dish of ice cream. There are movies and library books, air conditioning, hot water, steaks stored for dinner. There are music and lights, a card game, a cup of hot coffee. Men need guidance and help' and they End it in the chapel,' men die and their sacrifice becomes part of the living legend of the city. These are what make ENTERPRISE a place in which men can exist . . . and these men are ENTERPRISE . . .

The common denomina- tor is a knack for getting things done. While Executive Depart- ment handles the upaperworkji it also is concerned with more concrete items such as service records, VIP visits, letters and its basic mission of assisting the Executive Officer in exercising general supervision over the organization of the ship as a whole. To accomplish this, the Department utilizes 14 officers, and 159 men, and yes, a vast quantity of paper. Just as it takes a combination of eleven diiferent depart- ments to enable ENTERPRISE to be the power that she is, so it takes a combination of eleven different ollices to form the Executive Department, andp I O Cfifbogasfl . . . as well as Legal, X Covers a wide range of services. ffllli ll Sq Fill! ,- QS A he--5 The MAA's drink a toast at their division party.

N THE CHAPLAIN'S OFFICE The primary duty of the Chaplains is to help men establish and maintain a close relationship with God. They do this by conducting Divine Services, offering prayers at sea every evening and providing religious guidance to individuals who seek it. In addition, Chaplains James I. Killeen and Donald C.

Training deck watch standers is a particularly important function because this involves very directly the safety of the ship. It is of vital import- ance that the men on the bridge and the quarter- deck be alert and capable of handling any require- ment which may arise during their watch. To this end, an extensive OOD training and qualification program is carried on by the Navigator including lectures, watches under instruction, and actual watches, all of which lead to a more complete understanding of the watch which the oflicer will stand. But always in the center of thought in the department is the necessity of constant vigilance to keep the ENTERPRISE safe in her journies. The Navigator and his assistants, both oflicer and quartermaster, are on the job day and night to keep up-to-date on the ship's position and see that she does not steam into dangerous waters. This is the departmentis primary function and as such is handled in all the detailed efficiency which is necessary to keep the worldis largest ship afloat to continue her job in maintaining the peace of the world.

ENTERPRISE,s Meteorological Officer, LCDR H, J. Englehart, doubles also as Carrier Division TW0'S Staff Meteorologist. He, along with the able crew of the Aerological Division, has been responsible for weather forecasting for the Sixth Fleet ships over the entire Medi- terranean and for the ships of Task Group ONE, around the world. To accomplish this, information is constantly received on teletypes and facsimile machines from every country of the world that transmits such data. To evaluate this information, the ENTERPRISE Aerographers Mates must be prepared to decode and plot any of a seemingly infinite number of international codes that must be kept in their memories. After decoding, the data is plotted on weather charts for evaluation by the Meteorological Officer or one of OA Division's crack forecasting assistants, Joe Steranka, AGCS, and Billy Strawn, AGI. It is indeed rare that an opportunity arises for a ship to operate in such varied climates as the Doldrums and within 500 miles of the Antarctic Continent in one cruise.

In addition, OC Division is responsible for handling all mail, passengers and cargo arriving and departing the Big E. The ATO crew works under the ship's most often paged 'fGreen Shirt, ENS. M. E. Wallace. A lot of l000ths have been logged by OC Division during the Mediterranean and around the world cruise. Over 16,000 landings and well over 3,800 carrier controlled approaches CCCA'Sj have been made since February. At the start of the cruise the division had a well trained nucleus of old hands and a willing group of newcomers. Under the watchful eyes of LT J. H. Mc- Kenzie, CCA Oilicer, W. E. Barnes, and W. L. Deary, both AC1,s, in a matter of weeks, the team was function- ing as if it had been to sea a year. LCDR W. K. Peery has performed the nightly task of scheduling the next day,s flying with a unique passion while LCDR C. H. Tall, III, T. D. Burns, ACCM and H. Nelson, AC1 have supervised the operation of the CATCC. Keeping the status boards Honest has been the job of J. D. Dalhover, AC2 and S. G.

The operations of OE Division are not usually thought of until the electronics equipment refuses to operate. Without them the Communicators canit com- municate, the Navigator can have difficulty navigating, the Air Controlmen can't control aircraft, and those in Combat Information Center CCICJ have no informa- tion to evaluate. These are the highly trained electron- ics and data systems technicians of ENTERPRISE, who, under the capable supervision of LT D. D. Shel- ton, the Electronics Oiiicer, and his assistants LTIG L. C. Krause and ENS O. N. Sallee, repair and main- tain the over 2,500 electronics equipments onboard. The Naval Tactical Data System CNTDSJ is one of these, and under the direction of Senior Chief W. H. Bachman, who has been transferred, leaving Chief R. J. Donnelly in charge, this group has estab- lished a practical working system between LONG BEACH and ENTERPRISE for transmitting, receiving, evaluating, and displaying tactical data in the Worldis First Nuclear Task Force. A Another ,distinct 'feature of ENTERPRISE and LONG BEACH is the large flat 'fBillboard Antennae of the Fixed Array Radar Systems, which are the eyes of this Nuclear Task Force. These are two computer- controlled search and tracking radars utilizing over 150,000 transistors and 1,500 vacuum tubes. Chief C. D. Spring, assisted by Chief A. D. Sharpton, super- vises the technicians on this vast complex system. How do the Big E's planes find their way home in all types of Weather? This is done by TACAN CTactical Air Navigationj which supplies the planes with an instantaneous bearing and position with respect to the ship, and radar control. The IFF Cldentiiication, Friend or Foej identi- lies all aircraft and ships in the area as friendly or enemy.', Chief .B. W.

An air of relaxed tension continually pervades the dimly lit CIC with its glowing phosphorescent radar screens and multitude of equipment. Responsibility for the collection, display, evaluation, and dissemination of all combat information, and the control of aircraft is the order of business in CIC and men of the OI Division take great pride in their work. Under the leadership of CDR F. I. Adams and Master Chief Radarman McKeffrey, the men of OI are a tightly knit, smoothly functioning CIC team. This team is really a composite group of specialists operating the Navy's most complex radar system and the Naval Tactical Data System. One eagle eyed group under RDCS Gower ensure that everything that moves within radar range is detected and tracked. With the rallying cry get ,em in auto. Chiefs Tookey and Russell supervise the radar tracking with Benzinger and Waters working hard to hnd more Bogeys to track. The ECM team, Foards, Findersf, led by Crew and Burrows are always ready with the hot dope on enemy', ECM contacts. In the surface section of CIC all during the World cruise, a near record of over 5,000 contacts have been logged. Air Intercept Controllers LT Foard, assisted by Thogmartin and Morris and LT Blackwell, assisted by Farrington and Weaver have broken all records for air intercept control in the Sixth Fleet. With LTJG Thompson controlling the Low Cap even the bravest of bogeys are reluctant to attack The Big E? In the decisions and display area of CIC, conditions are sometimes likened to Grand Central Railway Station at rush hour. Keeping a calm, cool and collected viewpoint, LCDR,s McVay, and Campbell assist in evaluating the situation. The men behind the scenes Rohrbacher, Wood, Renfro, and O'Shea see that the situation is kept clear by coordinating the efforts of the CIC team in maintaining the combat readiness of the big E.', 96 Information is disseminated by teletype from CIC.- In touch with the planes above.-CHaynesJ Hey, your dinnefs waiting . . . come on in. -CHaynesj Commanding Officers Tacti- cal Plot Watch.-CHaynes3 ATltePhoto Officer gets the word. I QI? Scattered through the ship are members of dispersel division, OP. The division is divided among three activities, the Operations Office, the Photo Lab and the Air Intelli- gence Office. As you enter the Operations Office, you are sur- rounded by columns of file cabinets and tickler memos bathed in living stereo. Looking through the smarting haze of typewriter smoke, you can see the Operations Administrative Assistant, LCDR E. H. Brooks, sitting in the shade of the Worldls only purple orange tree. In the special request department LTJ G Dave Eckstrom keeps the Watch Bill and port visit papers moving. The office is not only a control and coordination center, but also a neutral zone from which to referee divisional feuds. This is a full time job for the yeomen, but with the super- vision of UTI Cox, YN3, and Ollie Bullock, YN3, the work always gets done and the deadlines met. We never closef' The Photo Lab, under LT R. R. Conger, is one of the busiest places on the ship. With the Big E being the first nuclear carrier and Flag Ship of Task Group ONE, the demand for pictures of the ship and her activities is tremendous. The photo crew is justly proud of the fact that they have probably had more of their pictures published in newspapers and magazines than any other comparable group in the Navy. But this is the glamorous side of photography. Just ask Chief Wil- 98 liams, Charlie Fulps, PH1, or Dino Aerostatico, PH1, about the hours spent taking and developing I.D. pic- tures, shooting movies of routine Hight operations or repairing a film processor. Then ask Wes Ferry or Teddy Haynes, PH3,s, in the Aerial Flash Lab about those round- the-clock fleet exercises when the photo planes took thousands of pictures a day. There is nothing glamorous about that, just hard work. Completing the OP Division Organization is the Air Intelligence Office. LCDR T. T. Riley and LT E. M. Rice head this up, but it usually falls to Karl Geib and Ben Morris, both PT1,s, to bring order out of bedlam. The objective of Air Intelligence is to provide information to support the ENTERPRISE mission as an attack carrier. Every man in the office has his own specialty-the world cruise frequently challenged these talents when the ship found itself in unfamiliar waters. Bob Stratemeyer's artistic talents were invaluable when it came to producing graphics and displays for briefing. Andy Sinkewich, YN3, in addition to being duty yeoman,'l has a wealth of Big E lore, being one of the few plank owners still aboard. Information is the business of Intelligence and the A.I. crew usually came up with the answers, but when the ship is in the South Atlantic it is amazing the amount of research that is required to find out the price of a beer in Sydney. cr- -. - f ' .- V. - :H-gufw - A .1-vp .4. ., --5. -,.

Located far forward, shrouded in an aura of secrecy and security, 80 trained men bend to move traffic, sometimes totalling 700 messages a day. Radio Central, maintaining the circuits required for Air Operations and Combat Information Center, also keeps the endless rows of equipment operating to receive and transmit these messages. Information received aboard Enterprise is virtually useless until placed into the capable hands of command.

The recovery equipment consists of five arresting gear engines, four for normal arrested landings and one for an emergency landing, any one of which is capable of stopping a 60,000 pound airplane flying at an air- speed of 130 knots. Also including as part of the re- covery equipment is the Fresnel Lens system which provides the pilot with an optical glide slope reference for both day and night landings, and the Pilot Landing Aid Television, or PLAT, which provides a video dis- play, through the magic of magnetic tape, of all launches and recoveries.

Armed with high standards of pro- fessionalisml and skill in boat handling, the detail has brought recognition from all quarters. Not possessing a fueling station causes no alarm for this division, as they will be found manning a high line or Burton transfer station, eager to transfer the routine mail and moviesw or the Sixth Fleet Commander.

The Electrical Division of ENTERPRISE's En- gineering Department performs a variety of tasks that are indeed similar in nature to those required to keep a large, modern city functioning. These range from the generation of all electrical energy used aboard ENTER- PRISE - to the provision of rapid and reliable com- munication for this lloating city of 5000 individuals. To provide these services, E Division has 170 men divided into live seperate groups. The Lighting Shop provides for the maintenance of all ship's lighting systems which includes the proper operation of an intricate lighting complex for a fast- moving, modern air field. One unusual evolution is the rigging and unrigg- ing of Mediterranean Friendship Lights, a project re- quiring a strong heart as Well as a strong arm, espe- cially when one considers the millions of dollars of aircraft over which these lights hang suspended! Of genuine interest are the multitude of services rendered to the ship by the Power Group.

In charge of the center of ENTERPRISES elec- trical system lies the Distribution Group. With cog- nizance over the eight ship service steam driven genera- tors, four special frequency generators, and four emer- gency generators, the Distribution Group provides the ship with a reliable supply of power, with voltages of 28 to 1000 volts, and frequencies of 60 to 400 cycles, plus direct current. Directly involved in keeping them ilyingj' the Catapult and Elevator Groupls responsibilities consist Of just that. Maintenance of the electrical systems associated with the catapults, aircraft elevators, air- craft fueling stations, bomb and stores elevators, jet blast deflectors, and aircraft arresting gears form the nucleus of C and E's,, work. Maintaining the ship's communication systems is a never-ending job for the Interior Communications Group. All told, there are some 18 separate and dis- tinct announcing systems on ENTERPRISE, ranging from such limited circuits as the Wardroom Announc- ing System to the far reaching General Announcing Sys- tem. One of these announcing systems, the Flight Deck System, can be rated as the worldls largest. Two of the most familiar circuits falling under the cog- nizance of the Interior Communications Group are the Ship's Entertainment System and the Dial Tele- phone System. As a matter of interest, the telephone ex- Change is a 500 line system capable of handling 1000 phones, and which on a daily basis places a staggering 22,5 00 calls! We whistle while we work . . .

M Division is composed of three oflicers and 176 men and is divided into three groups. M-1 Division oper- ates, maintains, and repairs all main propulsion machinery, including many 'related auxiliaries, in numbers one and four propulsion plants. This includes No. 1 propeller shaft slightly over 486 feet long. M-2 Division's duties are very similiar to M-1 in that they are responsible for numbers two and three propulsion plants. M-3 Division is responsible for the two auxiliary machinery rooms which contain the shipis distilling plants capable of converting sea water to more than 280,000 gallons of fresh water daily. M-3 Division also furnishes starting and cooling compressed air for the more than 80 jet aircraft aboard ENTERPRISE. They also include the Fuel and Water Gang, under the Oil King, who trans- ferred over two million gallons of fuel oil to our escorts during the deployment. It takes big machines to run the Big E.

R Division is composed of approximately 110 Shipfitters and Damage Controlmen. Somehow, these men are kept occupied maintaining 30 repair lockers, fighting all types of fires, controlling and repairing damage due to flooding and preparing their shipmates for Nuclear, Biological or Chemical Warfare attack. Not to mention the monthly recharging of all 15 lb. Carbon Dioxide fire extinguishers, keeping all doors and hatches in top shape, testing and re-testing the various compartments in order to insure watertight integrity. Pius, keeping an eye out for damage to liberty launches between in-port periods and constructing stages for the gala performances and cere- monies aboard the Big UE. This is in addition to preserv- ing the serpentine piping and drainage systems throughout ENTERPRISE. Needless to say, keeping the worldas largest ship in the fine condition she is used to, is a full time job. The myriad job orders and repair requests are processed through the R Division Office where the coordination of all repair work is achieved. From the Repair Oflicer to the most junior Fireman Apprentice, the need for repair is realized. Couple this with the enthusiasm and ability displayed by these men and we have a first-rate R Division aboard the ENTERPRISE.

The first thing we think of is to feed the crew. Let us take a closer look and see what this means. S-2 consists of two sub-divisions, S-2 and S-2M. S-2 is composed of Commissarymcn and Commissarymen Strikers. S-2M is composed of Mess Deck Master-at-Arms and Mess- men. Together they serve an average of 12,000 meals per day to the enlisted personnel on ENTERPRISE within the allowed cost figure of 51.09 per man per day. This requires approximately ten tons of stores per day. S-2 orders, receives, stores and issues these, and sells another 540,000.00 worth per month to the private messes on board. At sea they work around the clock, 138 seven days a week, holidays included. Meals are act- ually served 18W hours per day, with three short breaks for breakdown, clean-up, and set-up for the next meal. In port, in addition to serving regular meals on board, they supply and operate the food service facilities in the Sixth Fleet Canteen or USC, serve cookies, cup cakes, punch and colfee on the Hangar Deck during general visiting hoursg prepare and issue Flight Meals, Boat Meals, Bag Lunches and food for Division!Squadron Parties, all of which amounts to 21 tremendous task for a relatively small number of dedi- cated men.

This includes the maintenance of approximately five thousand pay records, and the payment of over a quarter million dollars to the crew each pay day. To the men of S-4 Division pay day is an every day affair, for no sooner is one pay day ended than preparations for the next one begun. Pay records must be constantly audited and recomputed as new entries are made. The disbursing operation on ENTERPRISE is not limited to pay accounts. Approximately four hun- dred travel and Shore Patrol claims are processed every month. ENTERPRISE is usually designated foreign currency co-ordinator and bill paying ship in the ports visited. Foreign currency must be procured for all distribution to the crew and payment of bill incured for all ships in company. In a typical month, the Disbursing Office dis- burses eight hundred thousand dollars and collects about live hundred thousand dollars. Truly a multi- million dollar operation.

But that simple sentence far understates the volume of material management required to maintain our air- craft, and catapult and arresting gear in a constant state of readiness. The Aviation Stores Division is re- sponsible for the proper procurement, receipt, stowage, maintenance, issue, and financial accountability of ma- terial required for the support of the air groups assigned aircraft. Numerically, this means control of 50,000 stock items, worth over Sl7,250,000.00 located in 49 spaces throughout the ship, which are necessary for the support of 10 different types of aircraft aboard. S-6 maintains constant liaison with the representatives of the Air Department and embarked squadrons to fos- ter a good working relationship and to keep informed of special requirements and other matters affecting responsive Aviation Supply support. -er What have-they got in here?

Be- hind this simple phrase lies a background of training and experience unequalled by any other group of elec- tricians in the Navy. The electricians of RE Division are the technicians that operate and maintain the electrical components which support the nuclear re- actors installed aboard ENTERPRISE. The responsibility for the electrical equipment associated with a reactor plant is both a challenging and a rewarding task. Alert watches must be main- tained on all of this equipment, ensuring that every- thing is operating at its peak efficiency. Modern test equipment and repair facilities are kept in shipshape condition in order to accomplish any repair work, should the occasion arise. Every undertaking is per- formed with the high level of competence necessary to maintain the reliability of the propulsion plant. Every electrician in the division has had at least one year of schooling in basic Reactor Theory and Nuclear Propulsion Plant operation prior to reporting aboard. With this background, it is a relatively straight- forward matter to qualify as a watchstander once aboard ship. A Also included within the divisional structure are the Reactor Department Yeomen. They perfonn the very important task of handling the extensive adminis- trative load which the Reactor Department carries. They cure the administrative ills and keep a. smooth flow of information -going in the right directions.

Although they are marvels of ingenuity, their very nature makes necessary the modern disciplines that give purpose to the Reactor Laboratory Division. Briefly, the general areas of concern are the control of radiological hazards to personnel and the control of corrosion Within the reactor systems. RL Division maintains the standards necessary for exacting control in these areas. The personnel of RL Division are called ELTis, which stands for Engineering Laboratory Technicianls, and the Division itself is sometimes referred to as the ELT Gang. The ELT is part of the versatile team that insures continued safe and efficient operation of the Big E'si' reactor plants. He has undergone exten- sive training, not only as a regular Nuke',, but also in the specialized Helds of water chemistry and radio- logical controls. He is the Navy's expert in these fields. The ELT's Hrst concern is in the area of radio- logical safety to personnel. During reactor operation and reactor maintenance periods, he conducts frequent surveys designed to detect radioactive airborne and surface contamination and to monitor radiation levels. In addition, he trains personnel associated with the reactor plants in the concepts of radiation safety. He works with the health and safety of the public in mind. The ELT's second major concern is control of the chemistry of the Water that is used in the reactor plants. Proper chemistry control insures minimization of cor- rosion. Because many factors influence the specifications that he must maintain, the ELT performs continuing chemical analyses and takes subsequent corrective ac- tion if the analytical results so dictate. Many of the ELT,s chemical analyses provide a clue to changing conditions within the reactor itself. rew fHaynesJ 1 RL Division - the happy place to work.-CHaynesJ ,i Instruments are studied . . . - CHaynesJ The man who hears click click click CHaynesj and monthly reports analyzed CHaynesJ 153 Elllll Intricate machinery deserves careful attention.-CHayr1esJ Expert, versatile, and reliable are all adjectives which may well be used to describe a group with the utmost in military bearing and professional ability- The Reactor Mechanics. These mechanical experts - machinist mates, boilermen, machinery repairmen, enginemen, and ship- htters - operate and maintain the reactor plant fluid systems and components that control and contain the energy of the splitting atom and transform it into high pressure steam. They occupy a unique and enviable position, for nowhere is there a reactor complex to match that found on ENTERPRISE. But, because reactor plant operation encompasses more than air, water, and vapor systems and compon- ents, the Reactor Mechanic is required to extend him- self far beyond his rate to know and understand the entire reactor plant. This, then, is his hallmark, he is a competent mechanic who can discourse freely and intelligently on such varied subjects as atomic theory, radiation control and measurement, thermodynamics, and even electrical and electronic systems. Needless to say, this ability is not easily acquired. Many, many months of intensive training are required before each man can demonstrate his personal skill in conducting diilicult operations that require quality standards and inspections never before imposed by the U. S. Navy or private industry. Thus the Reactor Mechanic, through his personal mechanical skills and knowledge, his understanding of the operation of the entire reactor plant, and his practiced proficiency to act as a member of a propulsion plant team, makes his contribution to ENTERPRISE, the U. S. Navy, and his country.

Austin, Jr., MC, USN one of the Navy's foremost Aviator Flight Surgeons, heads a staff of six doctors specializing in Aviation Medicine, Sur- gery, Radio Biology, and Internal Medicine. They are ably assisted by a Medical Administrative Assistant and fifty Hospital Corpsmen. The ENTERPRISE Hospital CSick Bayj with its eighty six beds is on a par with many metropolitan hospitals. Should the need arise, an ENTERPRISE sailor can avail himself of the best in laboratory, opera- ting room, x-ray, EKG, audiometric, and physiotherapy facilities. The pharmacy iills over 12,000 prescriptions a year, ranging from APC's through the modern miracle drugs. The Health Physics section processes over 15,000 film badges annually and conducts continuing radiological surveys to monitor personnel radiation exposure. On an annual basis, the Department expects to perform more than 8,000 blood tests, 10,000 x-rays, 3,000 complete physical examinations, and handle 12,000 sick call visits. In addition, over 20,000 im- munizations Cshotsj will be administered during the year.

Based at NAS Lakehurst, New Jersey, HU-2 maintains utility detachments aboard all deployed Second and Sixth Fleet attack carriers. Under the simple heading of uutility helicopter services are aligned many and varied tasks for the new turbine-powered Sea- spriten. The most important job is plane guard for all day and night launches and recoveries. When not at plane guard, the other 'csmalll' jobs a helicopter can do well lend flexibility to the high- speed modern carrier task force. Photography, U. S. and Guard Mail transfers, personnel transfers, cargo hauling, anti-submarine search, and emergency rescue missions are routine for DET 65. Also routine is round-the- clock attention by the maintenance crews.

In February 1964 the nuclear powered ENTERPRISE with Air Wing SIX aboard again entered the familiar waters of the Mediterranean as a powerful team for friendship and peace in a world of tension. Air Wing SIX, the Navyls largest Attack Carrier Air Wing, comprised of seven squadrons and three detachments, consistently demonstrated its versatility in various National and NATO exercises while part of the SIXTH Fleet and shattered existing records for flight hours, carrier landings, and operational readiness. As the Navy's first all nuclear task force was being formed and preparing for its historic cruise around the world, Commander Thomas L. NEILSON relieved Captain John S. CHRISTIANSEN as Commander Carrier Air Wing SIX. With CAG NEILSON at the helm, Air Wing SIX completed the ,64 Med deploy- ment and set off on 31 July 1964 to be the first Air Wing to make an around the world cruise in a nuclear task force. Some 32 Air Power Demonstrations were performed and several millions of people around the world reviewed the might and power of the main battery of ENTERPRISE. Her airplanes clouded the skies of the world with the message of our power at sea and in the air. o S l 1 w f- 2 ,M M,,,.-19' FIGHTER SQUADRON THIRTY THREE ,pb . X,f,vwfMf I ZW, WW, X wf' My M' A 1 I Weflfl Fighter Squadron THIRTY THREE is pri- marily a sea going squadron led by Commander Wiley A. Scott. It is a day night all weather Fighter-intercepter squadron whose primary mis- sion, in the event of hostilities, is the defense of friendly forces. Flying the Chance-Vought FSE Crusaderl', VF-33 provides the fleet with a single seat, missile and cannon equipped aircraft capable of speeds in excess of 1,000 MPH and altitudes above 50,000 feet. The figure depicted in the Squadron Insignia is a TARSIER which, pound for pound, is the most vicious and dangerous primate known to man. 'The liaming wings on this insignia signifies the additional capability of speed and firepower. VF-33 was commissioned in 1943 and saw action in the South Pacific while flying F-6F 'fHellcats',. During this period the squadron was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for its out- standing effort and sacrifices. In the following years, 33 has flown the F-4U f'Corsairll, F9F-6 Cougar,l, FJ-3 Fury',, FllF-1 Tiger and is recently flying the F-SE Crusader,'. The squadron has been aboard such ships as the USS KEARSARGE, USS LEYTE, USS MIDWAY, USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN, USS TICONDEROGA, USS INTREPID, and is pres- ently proud to be part of the nuclear strike force based aboard the USS ENTERPRISE. XXNK Y. B. YMXQWXN In the field of awards, the squadron has won the Combat E and in two consecutive years has won the CNO Safety Award. With the close of the accident free fiscal year 64, it is hoped the squadron will have the distinction of 3 consecu- tive CNO Safety Awards. This, we feel, is a record to be proud of. In participating in the First Nuclear Task Force, ever to be assembled, 33 can take its' place with pride among the Navyfs first Nuclear Task Force to sail around the world. We know the future will challenge the men and aircraft but with a heritage such as ours, we cannot fail. 6 WFS33 a ff-X X Nik ii . ,V .- X in X, If F2 if If 'fm .ff -,.,RxWr!,,.... ,hw ' 'J H f 52?-xl 1 annum-Ulf: -- Q w . 4 , W2 y fl : Q. i w 6 8 WFEUQIQ As our squadron emblem proudly illustrates, the Diamondbacks are ready to go anywhere in the world, and around the world we went. Returning aboard the ENTERPRISE on 8 February 1964 the squadron was fresh from its annual com- pex period, ADMAT inspection and had participated in the shipas ORI. No time was lost as the familiar sights of Pier 12, NAS Oceana, and Chesapeake Bay be- came again only fond memories and pro- jected dreams. Flight operations were the order of the day in the Bermuda area and, following the transLant, were re- sumed as we entered the Straits of Gi- braltar. On 22 February we formally re- lieved VF-41, our counterpart on the USS INDEPENDENCE, and assumed the duty. During our cruise we visited many familiar ports of call, Cannes, Barcelona, Palma, Naples, Palermo, Taranto, plus that curious city where East meets West, Istanbul, Turkey. There we toured many beautiful and historical sights while mak- ing new friends in line with our program to familiarize the people with not only our power, but our sincere interest and friend- ship as well. Not every day was spent on liberty however, and our time both at sea and in port was advantageously utilized. To fulfill the commitments of a carrier based, deployed squadron, the maximum effort of each man had to be employed. This was the spirit of the Fighting Diamond- backs in their 24 hour around the clock operations. Flying the Navyfs newest high performance fighter-interceptor required constant vigilance and maintenance. On 15 March 1964 Commander Sullivan and Commander Bouwman each recorded their 500th carrier arrested landings during the morning recovery. This event was followed shortly by Com- mander Bouwman's 200th F4B landing on the Enterprise making him the ship's first Phantom double centurion. The fol- lowing month on the fifteenth of April, Commander Bouwman became the new Commanding Oilicer during ceremonies while anchored in Naples, Italy. l 1 l FIGHTER Qu' I . ,pf 'TPR SQUADRON ONE HUNDRED TWO 1 71'-WZGZE ,, V HZWK X-WBPMZ WFEWQ I x ,fs RESCUE onosm sm: rfb ATTACK SQUADRON SIXTY FOUR 1:1 , Will G34 8 February 1964, the Black Lan- cers loaded aboard the ENTERPRISE for their second Mediterranian Cruise. The first port of call during this cruise was also a Hrst for the ship and most of the men, Istanbul, Turkey. Before the shores of Turkey were reached, and following the INCHOP, the Black Lancers took part in Operation 'tEarly- bird, a NATO exercise involving at- tacks on a convoy. Athens, Greece was to be the next scheduled port of call for the ENTER- PRISE, but the unexpected death of King Paul of Greece, and troubled time on the Island of Cyprus, extended the at sea period, and Cannes, France became the next liberty port. During the latter port of the cruise while operating off of Tyrrhen- ian LTJG Tucker TAYLOR again made' another first as he became the first Triple Centurianv aboard EN- TERPRISE. In all, the cruise was highly successful as 13 pilots logged over 100 landings on the ENTER- PRISE Yilecks, and over 2896 total hours werelogged in for the squadron. The 140 enlisted men and 22 officers that compose the Lancer Team have more than proved their worth to the fleet. In Operations such as FAIR- GAME, a three phase bilateral exer- cise with the French Forces, the Lan- cers and their 'tKnight,' insignia on the fuselage of the f'mighty-mite A4C, be- came a familiar sight to many French- men both in the air and on the ground as the Lancers roamed throughout enemy territory in Southern France making simulated strikes against air- fields and other targets. On June 28, 1964 while cruising in the Ionian Sea, Commander David E. SCHERRER relieved CDR. Fran- cis E. BABINEAU as commanding Officer of Attack Squadron SIXTY FOUR.

During the years since the squadron was commissioned, VA-65 has Hown from the decks of many aircraft carriers and logged an impressive record of achievements, including: Battle MEN 1950, 1952, 1960 Atlantic Fleet Safety Award 1956 Chief of Naval Operations Safety Award 1961. VA-65 first came aboard ENTERPRISE in August, 1962 and since then has spent most of the time flying from the deck of the Big ET Always in the thick of operations, although flying the oldest aircraft aboard the ENTERPRISE, the squadron participated in many exercises during the cruise and successfully proved that the Skyraider is the most versatile aircraft aboard the Big Eli The squadron is composed of 21 officers and 125 enlisted men, whose job it is to fly and main- tain the 12 Skyraiders assigned. The Skyraider aircraft flown by VA-65 is the most powerful single engine, propeller driven aircraft ever built and it can carry a useful load of ordnance greater than the giant four engine bombers of World War II. The armament varies from 20m1n cannon to Nuclear Weapons, and the A-lH is noted for delivery of any weapon with pinpoint accuracy. Especially suitable for long range strike capability, the A-1H has a range of over 2000 miles. Combat proven in Korea, the-Skyraider is also noted for its usefullness in close air support, which was displayed on this cruise during exercise Fairgame. VA-65 is a veteran squadron, proven by the fact that every pilot in the squadron has over 150 landings. Leading the Air Group usually in hours llown, the squadron rarely missed a sortie. This was effected by the outstanding maintenance and hard work of all hands. 1 May 19.64 saw VA-65 change hands as CDR Bill Whitney Cfamed Krusader-Killerb was relieved by CDR Norman E. Larsen while the Big Ei' was anchored at Genoa, Italy. CDR Larsen had served as Squadron Executive Oliicer since July of 1963. 5EI 177 l '-ESE ll Oli!

The Waldomen, as the squadron mem- bers are referred to, fly and maintain twelve Douglas built A4C Skyhawks . These single seat jet airplanes are primarily designed to fly a long range, low altitude, attack mission. The squadron is composed of 130 enlisted personnel and twenty officers, of which seventeen are pilots. From 31 May 1963 until 11 May 1964, VA-66 was commanded by CDR R. E. SPRUIT, USN. CDR D. L. HANCOCK, executive officer for this period, relieved CDR SPRUIT when the latter received orders to the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island. ATTACKRON SIXTY SIX has been attached to ENTERPRISE since June of 1962. The Waldomen were aboard for three Mediter- ranean deployments, several short training cruises, and the two month Nuclear Task Force world cruise in 1964. On 10 June 1964 VA-66 logged the squadron's 5000th arrested landing on the Big En -the lirst squadron in the Air Wing to accomplish this. The squadron's creditable achievement did not stop aboard ship. Although Cannes, France was quite an attractive liberty port, the men willingly sacrificed their time and energy to help the orphans of this fair city by renovating part of the orphanage. Such hard work and unselfishness were symbolic of the men's attitude through- out the cruise. 8 fw , ,f WHE36 W I l l in is 17,5 W I fwzasrof A D Q , ATTACK SQUADRON SEVENTY SIX Attack Squadron SEVENTY SIX, commissioned in July of 1955, has sailed through the mightyblue waters of the Atlantic, the Mediterranean, the Carrib- bean, flying from the decks of the grand ladies, USS FORRESTAL CVA 59, USS INTREPID CVA 11, and now the grandest of ladies, USS ENTERPRISE CVACNJ 65. Though the decks and flying machinesv have changed along with her ollicers and men, her history of constant preparation and readiness make the squadron a worthy member of the Air Wing and the Worldls lirst Nuclear Task Force. Enterprise bears the name of a heritage of proud and historic ships, Carrier Air Wing Six, the most powerful fleet striking arm ever amassed on one deck, has been connected with ENTERPRISE ships, old and new, since the days of the Second World War. And since 1959 Attack Squadron SEVENTY SIX,has added to this heritage. Her insignia of the cocked hat and 184 musket on a blue field of honor, and lettered THE SPIRIT OF ,76 , signify today, as they did during the American Revolution, the determination to defend the noble cause of freedom which is our nation's heritage given to us by the brave and honorable in 1776. The Spirits,' departed their loved ones, wives, and parents in February 1964 with mixed emotions, however once under way the mission was a reality and high performance was individually and collectively erformance has been shown by meeting and surpassing the operational requirements assigned to the versatile A4C Skyhawk aircraft and the men and oiiicers that support, maintain, and ily her. Most '4spirit pilots achieved the designation of ENTERPRISE Cen- turion, a title earned by those having made 100 ar- rested landings on one carrier, many boast recognition a Double and Triple Centurion. pursued. This p Familiar ports of call of the Mediterranean were once again visted after long hard hours of work at sea, and to this list was added new ports not only in the Med but now around the world. In crossing the equator the Squadron Shellbacks initiated the Polly- wogs into the orders, rights, and privileges of the 4'Ancient Order of the Deep',. Outnumbered ten to one, the Shellbacks still maintained the discipline and idecorum necessary in the ancient ritual, the lowly Pollywogs bravely endured their trials and now can proudly boast the name, Shellback. It can be said that every sailor is an active man, when he works, he works with all his energies, and when he plays, he plans harder than anyone else. Such is the history of America, men working and fighting for the beliefs and freedoms handed down through gen- erations and then enjoying the rewards to the fullest.

This favored assignment comes in recognition of a long record of high performance by Heavy Attack Squa- dron SEVEN. The mission of f'The Peacemakers of the fleet is to provide ENTERPRISE and Carrier Air Wing SIX with an all-weather, supersonic, attack capabil- ity. The ever-present threat of the Vigilantes to deliver nuclear or conventional weapons on distant targets under various weather conditions, using any of a variety of delivery methods, makes them an extremely potent weapons system. Heavy Attack Squadron SEVEN is one of the oldest and most experienced Heavy Attack Squa- drons in today's modern Navy. The colorful history of Heavy Attack Squadron SEVEN includes many firsts as well as outstanding performance in its various tasks since its birth more than 13 years ago. It has deployed to- the Mediterranean area nine times since its commissioning. Its aircraft have in- cluded the Lockheed P2V Neptune,,' the North American AJ Savage,,' the Douglas A3D Sky warrior, and now the North American A-5A V1g1 lantef' The squadron has moved from its birthplace on the Pacific Coast to the Atlantic Coast where It has had several homes,,' and is now temporarily based ashore at NAS Sanford Florida. It has flown from the decks of ten different aircraft carriers and was awarded the 1963 CNO Aviation Safety Award for Heavy Attack Squadrons. The squadron twice has been awarded the coveted Navy En for Command Battle Efficiency On 25 January 1962, HATRON SEVEN re ceived its first A-5A Vigilante, and, with four flight crews, qualified aboard the USS FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT. In February, 1962 the Peace makers deployed aboard ENTERPRISE for her ushakedownl' cruise to the Caribbean 'Since then, the Big Ev has been home to the Peacemakers who have sailed with the ship on each of the Mediterranean cruises as well as various operating periods of shorter duration. During the 1962 Med deployment, VAH-7 established a record for a carrier squadron introducing a new aircraft into the fleet - 553 flight hours in 16 flying days. ' 189 LV-311 f.

Their mission is to provide aerial photographic reconnaissance for Enterprise, Carrier Division Two and the Fleet Commander. To fulfill this mission the detachment maintains and operates three RF8A aircraft, reconnaissance configurated versions of the famous Ling-Temco-Vought Crusader. Recent RFSA reconnaissance missions in areas such as Cuba and Laos have provided a timely demonstration of the impor- tance of this aircraft to the defense effort. The plane is capable of day or night photography and has the range to obtain and return to the carrier pictures of targets located at great distances. Night reconnaissance is accomplished through the use of specially designed flares, aerial photographic flashbulbs rated in excess of two million candlepower each. Officer in Charge of the Enterprise photo detachment is LCDR Robert G. Conaughton. CDR Robert O. Coulthard commands the parent squadron. 9 1 4 WFPEEQZ 4 4.

ECM - electronic countermeasures - can be either passive or active. Passive ECM involves ELINT or elec- tronic intelligence gathering, the capability to detect, analyze and locate accurately any radar which may be operating. It's value lies in the fact that these electronic missions can be de- tected well beyond the range of the radar itself. Active ECM includes jamming and deception of radars, which can be done either electronically or by dropping specially cut pieces of metal foil, called chaff'l or window , which present false targets on a radar scope. EARLY WARNING SQUADRON ' LCDR Joe P. HOWELL, Jr., USN heads the three-plane detachment, comprised of nine oiiicers and forty-one enlisted personnel.

In the ECM configuration, the aircraft carries a pilot, radar operator, and two ECM operators. Capable of remaining airborne for over eight hours, this single-engine pro- peller aircraft can thus provide 'round-the-clock surveillance in the anti-submarine warfare field in addition to active and pas- sive ECM.

ENTERPRISE CHAPTER FOUR Duty with the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean has been an integral part of the three years of service ENTERPRISE has recorded with the Navy. She has made three Mediterranean deployments, including this floating ambassador of good will for all the people encountered great interest everywhere, both in her role to visit these ports and as a major representative of the current one, serving as a of this country. She has as the first nuclear carrier United States of America. Her crew has articipated in the life of the Mediterranean nations as much . p t as the people of that area have sought to visit this mighty floating city. Her sailors have admired the bikinis on the Riviera, the moon on the Acropolis, the whirl of a flamenco-ruffled skirt. They have painted orphanages, donated blood, carried dolls and toys to homeless childnen. They have shouted ole at the bull- fights in Barcelona and Palma, photographed the Parthenon, bicycled along the waterfront in Rhodes. They have lingered over a sun-warmed glass of wine in Cannes, marvelled at St. Peter's in Rome, ridden to the top of the Eiffel Tower, skiied in the French Alps. There will always be memories of spaghetti dinner in Naples, silent boat rides through Capri's Blue Grotto, souvenir shopping in Istanbul. But the ENTERPRISE crew has always realized its responsibility in the Med. These have not been pleasure cruises, although certainly the memories, the snapshots, the impressions that remain will be of the places visited and the new sights seen. This ship has always recognized that it is on duty in the Med, on duty to protect the lives and ideals of the nation it is pledged to defen-d. The actions of the crew, their efforts and their hard work, have been to this end. 201 Santa Claus reporting aboard, sir! 0 ,2514 ylgXJ a A fun-Hlled Christmas party ll Q K 1 5 fi?

Here, warmed by a brilliant sun, was Barcelona, perfect introduc- tion to our Mediterranean cruise. Barcelona, seaport city, basked behind the glitter of a sun-sparkled harbor, brightened further at this time by the drama and color of the bull fight season. Here was the Spain we had eagerly anticipated . . . the dazzling moonlit fountains, the click of castanets, a plaintive guitar, the swirl of a provocatively ruflled skirt, the roaring ole of an enraptured crowd.

A visit to Cannes is a trip to enjoyment, for this city which advertises itself as the world's playground is exactly that. One can stroll the pic- turesque waterfront, sip sun-warmed wine in a sidewalk cafe or wander the winding, narrow streets of ancient nearby villages, clustered under their colorful roofs high among the Maritime Alps. Of course there is always the beach. Crowded it is and rocky the sand. But a visit to the beach at Cannes is a delight . . . the inter- nationally ilavored crowd, the sudden glimpse of an American movie star, the excitement of the panorama of beauty that casually displays itself on the nearest striped pad. Cannes is the land where bikinis were born and there they are worn with the assurance and grace of a national costume. Our dreams in Barcelona came true in Cannes. 219 l W H 220 It didn 'I take as long to become acquainted with France and to find her injlnitely delighnfa While we admired the local scenery, the news from home indicated that there they were wearing them without tops!

Our eyes were first caught by the immense mirror-like expanse of the bay. . .then moved on to its crowded harbor surrounded by the older section of the city . . .up into the modern quarter and then to the high rim of hills rising strikingly over the whole scene. We found much to see and do here. While this city's major claim to fame is as the birthplace of Christopher Colum- bus, whose narrow, ivy-covered house is a must visit for tourists, the city abounds in museum items and monuments, as well as interesting buildings, bridges and streets in the old section of the city dating from medieval times.

Even Vesuvius gave up smoking. Piazza Manicipo. NAPLES Irrepressible energy and indomitable physical hardihood common to both old and young folk endow Neopolitan life with an ebullience and iiavor that well forth like its many fountains. Traffic races at breakneck speed and with seemingly total dis- regard for life and safety . . . street urchins bright with smiles and shrill of voice race the city streets till late at night . . . singing and fish temper the air with a touch of music and a characteristic smell . . . laundry hangs from every window like multi-colored pennants. Naples was not a serene and lovely city . . . not one to contemplate . . . to photograph . . . to admire . , . but a lively and energetic one whose life must be participated' in, rather than viewed. Naples is Italyis third largest city, home of one million people, and at times it seemed that all of them were on the streets simultaneously, each with something to show us, sell us or ask us. Inevitably, we were drawn into their lives, as they became a part of ours.

Rome is that strange and bewildering animal, both a legend and a living reality . . . a thriving and modern city, and an ancient one, heir to more than two thousand years of cultural and religious achievement. Within the 2500 year old wall at the gate of San Giovanni lies the ancient city, world capital of Catholicism and shrine for thousands of religious pilgrims. The startling colors of foreign clerics, robes are brilliant against the more somber browns and blacks of those worn by the flocks of nuns and monks who bustle about their business in this, their city. Beyonc? the old wall is a different world, of new pastel- hued apartment projects, speeding spoits cars and Ameri- can jazz, where the remnants of the city of emperors are often overshadowed by the neon blare of the latest night spot on the fashionable Via Veneto.

High above the swift, dark blue waters of the Bosphorus separating Europe and Asia stands Istanbul, oldest city in the world, In existence as a major metropolis continually for 2600 years, Istanbul was once Constantinople and Byzantium, once capital of the great Turkish Empire, but always its unique and mysterious self. The moment a tourist sets foot in Istanbul he is assailed with the sensation that he is confronted with history . . . with dazzling diversity . . . seeing it in the many splendid palaces, the majestic rounded domes of great buildings, the slender graceful minarets which adorn the city's more than live hundred mosques and give it an unusual and breath- takingly lovely skyline. Situated at the narrowest point of the Strait, the city accurately symbolizes the meeting of East and West. Some of its undeniable attractions for us included St. Sophia, generally recognized as one of the greatest temples ever built and now a museum . . . the Blue Mosque, with its lovely, diffused light and brilliant blue and gold mosaics . . . the covered Bazaar, virtually a city in itself, with winding covered streets of goldsmiths, oriental rug merchants, fur salesmen, and in the heart of the intricateii labyrinth, the vast room containing brass and copper objects of every description.

And, the Admiral might have added, of equal importance to the United States of America. Once again, ENTERPRISE had been chosen to make history on a cruise that would have a profound effect on the future of the Navy and certainly, the country. Once again, the incredible vision of her planners was to find realiza- tion in a stunning demonstration of her fantastic capabilities. Escorted by two guided missile ships, the cruiser USS LONG BEACH CGN-9 and the frigate USS BAINBRIDGE DLGN 25, the famed Big E was to circle the globe as flagship of the newly formed Task Force One. Only once previously had a similar role been assigned to ships of the United States Navy when, some fifty five years ago, sixteen first line battleships were sent around the world to test their capabilities and to attract international attention to the range and modern design of American seapower. This Great White Fleet, as it was called, sailed 46,000 miles in fourteen months. On its cruise, Task Force ONE steamed 31,000 miles in sixty-five days, conducting underway air shows around Africa, through Southern Asian and Pacific waters and up the east coast of South America. The cruise, named Operation Sea Orbit, was a conclusive demonstration of the special global mobility and self-sufficiency of nuclear powered surface ships . . . a display of the advanced design of contemporary American seapower around the world serving as striking evidence of the enormous power for peace possessed by the United States. It was a great diplomatic gesture as well, for the Task Force acted as a roving ambassador whose actions and abilities spoke for all the people of its country, and whose hand of welcome was extended around the world ....

Welcome Aboardn . . . these two words of greeting would be repeated many times during the historic circunmavigation of the earth called Operation Sea Orbit. Not since the cruise of the Great White Fleet in 1909 had the Navy scheduled such a display of their forces to travel around the world. Along with LONG BEACH and BAINBRIDGE, the ENTERPRISE departed the Mediterranean to extend a welcoming hand to dignitaries from Africa, the Far East, Australia and South America . . . demon- strating to each her unique capabilities as an aircraft carrier and a member of the worldls first and only Nuclear Task Force. Only one hour after' being relieved of duty with the Sixth Fleet, ENTER- PRISE welcomed aboard her first underway visitors. They arrived to witness a demonstration of naval sea and air power and iittingly, they arrived at sea by air, through the facilities of VRC-40, a special squadron brought aboard to ferry visitors by CIA from land to the moving Task Force. The underway visits brought out crisp white dress uniforms or impeccable blues, depending on the climate, brilliantly colored decorations, sideboys at perfect atten- tion and all the special honors due to the visiting guests. As the three magnificent ships steamed in unison around the world, crossing the equator four times in their travels, the giant nuclear supercarrier truly acted as America's most impressive sea-bome ambassador.

RABAT MOROCCO Visitors from the monarchy of Morocco were the first to arrive aboard ENTERPRISE when on July 31st, three ClA's made a smooth landing aboard the flight deck where RADM Strean, Task Force Commander, waited to welcome the mili- tary and civilian guests. After the rendering of honors, they were taken to the bridge by elevator to watch the air show. Their ears protected by Mickey Mouse hats, the visitors witnessed a roaring fifteen minute launching of forty-five air- craft of Air Wing Six. As the air demonstration teams headed high into the sunny skies, the visitors donned sunglasses and Big El' base- ball caps. Listening to a running commentary in French, they Watched a special aerial salute to Morocco, punctuated by photo- flashes by supersonic Crusader aircraft. Bombing tactics, rocket atacks, helicopter rescues, aerial refueling and jet flybys filled an houris spectacle. The guests returned to shore by air, having travelled with the Task Force some one hundred miles during the performance. President Cherkaoui and his party wat ch the air show intently. 307 i J EPTU US REX LAT ooo - LONG ooo Official naval customs and traditions, augmented by the cleverly diabolic and imaginative minds of the Shellback crew, were the basis for a brilliantly colorful ceremony as ENTERPRISE and the Task Force crossed the equator for the first time on their historic journey. It would be the first of four such crossings, and with a giant number of pollywogs aboard to initiate into the mysteries of the deep, it promised to be a spectacularly memorable occasion. The arrival aboard of King Neptune and his gaily costumed royal court began a day of humiliation for the pollywogs and fun for everyone. After many hours of testing the crew, through examination and forms of mild torture, King Neptune pronounced the ship an honorable one and welcomed the entire crew into the exalted state of shellbackdom.

DAKAR SENEGAL The second underway visit to ENTERPRISE took place off the coast of Senegal on August 3rd. Once again, a warm welcome was extended to the African leaders by RADM Strean and they were treated to an extensive demonstration of ENTER- PRISE air power. The delegation arrived from Dakar, capital of Senegal, and once administrative center and showplace of France's West African Federation. Due to its importance in the French colonial world, Senegal fell heir, on its independence, to a wide range of modern facilities not often found in newly independ- ent states, including the foremost port in West Africa, a university, an international airport, a good rail and road system, as well as a powerful radio network. The Big E's guest from this new and modern nation were well impressed by the Task Force.

FR ETOWN SIERRA LEONE Early in the morning of the very next day, ENTER PRISE hosted guests from Freetown, Sierra Leone, an independent country since 1961, and the one hundredth member of the United Nations. Freetown, from which the visitors were flown, is the largest city and capital of the country, a sovereign and independent member of the British Commonwealth of Nations, under the rule of Queen Elizabeth II. The visitor's list was headed by His Excellency, the Honorable Sir Salake Benka-Coker, pres- ently Acting Governor-General of Sierra Leone. Guests witnessed an atomic fuel safety demonstration while stand- ing not far above one of ENTERPRISES eight nuclear reactors. A sensitive geiger counter probe measured more radiation from visitors, wrist watches than could be detected in the near-by atmosphere! This was followed by a live-fire naval air demonstration. 317 His Excellency, the Honorable Sir Salake Benka-Coker, Acting Governor-General of wi' W YM wfff A Big E pilot is questioned about his equipment. O ROVIA LIBERIA After the visit of government oliicials from Freetown, Sierra Leone, on the morning of August 4th, guests from Monrovia, Liberia arrived in the afternoon for a similar show of U. S. Navy combat might. Liberia, a republic founded by freed American slaves, has been independent since 1847, and has a government and constitution patterned after those of the United States, as well as a population of some two million English speaking people. At two in the afternoon, U. S. Ambassador Charles Rhetts brought aboard the Liberian delegation, headed by their Under Secretary of State, T. Earnest Eastman, who later proclaimed that only people who know freedom and in- dependence could present such a show of power for peacef' Ambassador Rhetts remained aboard for the overnight voyage to Abidjan and in a television interview for the crew that evening he said, I think the Liberians and the Africans both recognize that our armed might is not intended to be used in an aggressive way and I think they recognize very clearly that when we say we must arm to keep the peace that we mean just that. 318 Captain Hessel welcomes aboard the delegation from Monrovia, Liberia, headed by T. Ernest Eastman, Un- der Secretary of State, and accompanied by U. S. Am- bassador. Lifesaving equipment is admired by the party RADM Strean with U. S. Ambassador, James W. Wine. ABIDJAN IVORY COAST East of Liberia lies the Ivory Coast, scene of the next ENTERPRISE rendezvous with visiting dignitaries. Located on the underside of the northwest bulge of Africa, the Ivory Coast has a population of some three and a half million people, with their capital at Abidjan. Having achieved independence in 1960, it has a long heritage of French connections and traditions. 'Their party of dignitaries was headed by Raphael Saller, Minister of Finance, Economic Affairs and Plans in the cabinet of Felix Houphouet-Boigny, President of Ivory Coast, who, with his beautiful wife, made a much-publicized state visit to the United States during the Kennedy Administration. The reaction of the Ivory Coast delegation was summed up by remarks made by Mr. Saller: All of this makes us realize more than ever before that the United States is the greatest power on earth for peace. We are impressed by the obvious might of this force, but we are also impressed by the peaceful mission of Task Force ONE. What we have seen today is the best demonstration you could give us of the power for peace. Our sincere thanks to you and the United States. Long live the United States of America? s , In the afternoon, thirty-one ENTERPRISE aircraft were launched at sea to make Operation Sea Orbit's first inland flyby, passing over Yamoussoukro, where President Houphet-Boigny was conducting a cabinet meeting. The aircraft then flew one hundred miles south to perform over Abidjan where crowds poured from modern buildings and thatch-roofed huts alike to wave and stare at the magnificent spectacle being staged overhead. Q W0 Honors are rendered. The Ivory Coast delegation, headed by Raphael Sallef, Minister Of Finance' Economic Affairs and Plans, with Am- bassador Wine, views with interest one of the many demonstrations staged for them. - CArbo80Sfi l AIROBI KENYA On 10 August, a party of four from the Republic of South Africa was flown aboard for a short visit, headed by Rear Admiral Biermann, Chief of Staff of the South African Navy and composed of members of his staff. Although it was a brief visit, they received a warm welcome and were much impressed with the ENTERPRISE. On 15 August, a party of twelve from Nairobi, Kenya was flown aboard to visit the ship and witness an air power demonstration. Before leaving, the Honorable Peter M. Koinage, Minister of State for Pan- African Affairs and leading guest of the party, stated that, The team work you have been carrying on in the name of your country makes us very proud to have good friends like youf' His colleague, Mr. James Gichuru, Minister of Finance, added that he was ugreatly impressed that this ship is being used for peace. On the day following the Kenya visit, ENTERPRISE again crossed the equator, for the second time, at longitude 440 41', finding favor- able winds and seas on its way north to its first port of call, Karachi, li in West Pakistan.

Although the show planned by ENTERPRISE was somewhat modified by the weather, the Pakistan party was interested and -impressed. 322 KARACHI PAKISTAN The weather was hot and humid when ENTERPRISE sighted three ships of the Pakistan Navy assigned to act as support during Big E's planned Air Show. Although the performance was modiiied by the cloudy weather, it was impressive to the guests, including Rear Admiral Abal R. Khan, Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistan Navy, and his party of twenty. As soon as the air demonstration was over, the Pakistanian ships escorted the Task Force into the harbor at Karachi, where difficult boating conditions limited the number of men able to get ashore for liberty to 1700. As the first port visited since the Mediterranean, Karachi was a welcome sight to the crew who found it hlled with interesting bits of exotica to photograph, purchase and remember. There was, however, visible evidence everywhere of the hardships the country has been experiencing ever since it was deluged with Muslim refugees from all parts of India after the Partition in 1947. Karachi's busy open-air market places and bazaars were the scene of much activity during liberty hours. Many ENTERPRISE- ing men rode in horse-driven or motor rickshaws while others tried their seats on ya swaying camel back. Most were particularly attracted to the craftsmanship of the Pakistanis, expressing their admiration in the purchase of souvenirs, including brass articles, camel saddles, carved wood pieces, inlaid items and beautiful silk fabrics. Other sightseers visited the beautiful Ghandi Gardens and the National Museum which exhibits relics Hve thousand years old, dating from earlier Pakistani civilizations. In a more somber mood, many blood donations were offered at the hospital for leprosy victims. ENTERPRISE enjoyed the brief respite from the cruise and was pleased by Admiral Khan's farewell message which said, in part, Your memorable visit, though brief, has given us great pleasure.

Earlier in the day, with the close cooperation of the Royal Australian Navy, the ENTERPRISE had staged an aerial lire-power demonstration off the coast of Sydney. Acting as escort ship for the Big E was the new Australian-built frigate, HMAS DERWENT, which took the place normally filled by the BAINBRIDGE and LONG BEACH in similar demonstrations around the world. During the Australian portion of the cruise, the three ships of the Task Force had separated to make Almost like home. port visits in three major cities, so the DERWENT substituted, under the command of Captain R.

There. off the coast of Wellington, she had the honor to act as host for the Prime Minister, the Right Honor- able Keith J. Holyoake and his party, during an air demonstration at sea. For the lirst time in SEA ORBIT, other guests were aboard the LONG BEACH and the BAINBRIDGE. The Prime Minis- ter was visibly moved by the show and remarked before he left that . . . of all the great countries of the world, the United States is the greatest lover of peace and hater of war. Your visit proved that the American people not only have the capacity to throw a protective screen around themselves but also have the capacity to do it for their friends?

The Cape could be seen quite clearly from the deck of the ENTERPRISE, rising nearly fourteen hundred feet out of the sea, a giant and misshapen rock, whose upper slopes were snow covered. Many thought of the era of the sailing vessels when men had to fight the vicious weather and seas for as much as iive days before the Cape permitted them to pass from one ocean to the other . . . and of the many who never made it. The ENTERPRISE had smooth sailing in her one day voyage into the South' Atlantic, where the Weather immedi- ately began to brighten . . . perhaps at the thought that the Task Force was at last on the beginning of the journey towards home. The infamous Cape Horn, scourge of ancient sailing ships AROUND CAPE HCR SOUTH AMERICA . . . presented little challenge to the mighty ENTERPRISE, as she rounded it into the South Atlantic. - CWillzamsJ RADM Strean welcomes aboard Brigadier Gen- eral Manuel C.

BUENCS AIRES ARGENTINA Task Force ONE hosted its lirst South American VIP delegations when on September 21st, leaders from Buenos Aires, Argentina arrived aboard as the ship sailed past their city. Chilly temperatures and strong winds did not diminish the warm greeting they received from the ENTERPRISE. After a short briefing by RADM Strean, the guests examined jet and propeller aircraft displays on the hangar deck and then proceeded to the Ilag bridge to observe aircraft launchings. The air combat demonstration was next, including strafing runs on water targets, F8E Crusaders cracking the sound barrier, photo flash bomb salutes to the South American nation and delivery of Sidewinder missiles. Brigadier General Manuel C. Soria, Chief Military Staif President of Argentina said that the ENTERPRISE reminded him more of an island than a ship and your troops, your planes and your ships are not only pre- pared for offensive actions but . . . are also ready to defend the ideals of democracy and liberty for which we also stand . . . that is, our way of life? 4 ' X The Argentinian party hnds the air power show impressive. 342 V National Councilor, Dr. Washington Beltran, of Uruguay, inspects the guard. O TEVIDEO URUGUAY Later the same afternoon, after the departure of the party from Argentina, a group from Montevideo, Uru- guay, was welcomed aboard. Heading these dignitaries was the National Councilor, Dr. Washington Beltran, who said, We know the name of the American people will always be used in the name of freedom and democ- racy. We hope that you will carry the understanding and feelings of brotherhood that we Uruguayans convey to the people of your great nation. The party witnessed a sound splitting demonstration of Navy air and fire- power, similar to that staged in the morning for the party from Buenos Aires. The Montevideo party attends RADM Strean's slide lecture A twenty-eight member delegation from Sao Paulo visited the ENTERPRISE as the 'Task Force was steaming north towards Rio, at the start of the five day Brazilian portion of the World cruise. Governor Ad- hemar Pereira de Barros of Sao Paulo headed the group of visiting dignitaries which included Brazilian military leaders and civilian officials from the cities of Sao Paulo and Santos. In warm sunshne, the guests were wel- comed aboard and for the occasion, the six thousand member Task Force donned whites, iirst change into summer uniforms since the three ships had left Pakistan a month before. Governor de Barros termed his visit as Hwonderfuli' and remarked to RADM Strean that we are in the same boat . . . not just here on the ENTERPRISE but living in the free world, lighting for human liberties. He also expressed his wishes for a good voyage home.

The final scheduled demonstration at sea for foreign visitors on the global journey of the Big E came off the coast of Recife on September 27th, when the Task Force hosted a group of twenty-four digni- taries from the city. The guests witnessed a two hour at-sea fire power demonstration by the three ships and participated in an old Navy tradition, a cake-cutting ceremony commemorating the 42,000th landing aboard ENTERPRISE which occured during their visit. Gen- eral Manoel Paz de Lima, representing the Governor of the Brazilian state of Pernambuco, cut the cake. Later, thirty-eight ENTERPRISE aircraft conducted a beach flyover for the citizens of Recife, as the Task Force continued north, leaving Brazil behind.

The last at-sea demonstration of Operation Sea Orbit was held for United States citizens, Defense and State De- partment representatives and American newsmen, off San Juan, Puerto Rico. The party of visiting dignitaries was led by Assistant Secretary of Defense for Administration, Solis Horwitz and Assistant Under Secretary of State for Political and Military Affairs, Jeffrey Kitchen. One American news- man remarked, after witnessing the impressive display of aircraft, bombs, rockets and warfare techniques, that he stood in the safest place in America . . . on the flight deck of ENTERPRISE. American faces on board lent reality and urgency to the thought that home lay only two days north.

Ramsey, COMNA VAIRLANT, inspects Admiral David L. McDonald, CNO, speaks to the EN the Marines. 352 TERPRISE crew. . . . was perhaps the most memorable date of the cruise, since it was on that Saturday afternoon that ENTERPRISE returned home to Norfolk, after her long voyage around the world. The crew had sailed in three oceans and some 36,000 miles, but all aboard had to agree that the most eagerly anticipated sight was the crowd of family and friends waiting at Pier Twelve, waving signs, wipingliway tears, unable to keep from smiling. In the morning, before the ship's arrival in Nor- folk, a party of distinguished Naval guests and news- men were flown aboard by helicopter to extend their personal welcomes and congratulations to the crew. Included in this party were Secretary of the Navy Paul H. Nitze, Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral David L. McDonald, and VADM Paul H. Ramsey, COM- NAVAIRLANT. Aboard, they reviewed the honor guard and held press conferences about the historic journey just completed by the Task Force. Then, at three in the afternoon, ENTERPRISE steamed majestically into Hampton Roads, preceded by fire boats, ushered by tugs, watched by the waiting families with impatient love. Then the lines were over, the gangway up and the world was forgotten, while the present . . . a pair of tightly encircling arms, a hug, a smile brilliant with the tears of a long separation and the excitement of welcome . . . was real and here.
