For the crew it was a time of joyous reunion with families and friends: for the ship the beginning of a period of well earned rest. Having been awarded the U.S. Atlantic Fleet Battle Efficiency Pennant for 1964 as the best and most prepared for battle of all the attack aircraft carriers in the Atlantic Fleet, ENTERPRISE settled down to preparations for entering the yard. This period was climaxed by a special cruise for the dependents of the crew, the first such family day cruise made by the ship. Mutt and Jeff! ENTERPRISE and the destroyer, JOHN W. WEEKS steam together as both ships conduct dependents' day cruises.

At 0630 on 2 December 1965 USS ENTERPRISE launched twenty-one aircraft in her first strikes against the Communist Viet Cong in South Vietnam. These strikes marked the first time in history that a nuclear powered ship had engaged in combat operations. But these 118 sorties were only the be- ginning. On ENTERPRISE's second day in combat she flew a record shattering 131 sorties in a single day, operating off Dixie Station and established the new record of 137. Later, on 11 December, ENTERPRISE and Air Wing NINE set a new record of 165 sorties in a single day. ENTERPRISE moved from Dixie Station in the South to Yankee Station in the North and began flying strikes against North Vietnamese targets on 17 December. On 22 December, ENTERPRISE pilots teamed up with aircraft from the KITTY HAWK and TICONDEROGA for a massive air strike against the Uong Bi Thermal Power Plant north of Haiphong. LTJG Martin, RIO, VF-96 became the first ENTERPRISE pilot to be rescued off the coast of Viet Nam, December 2, 1965. He bailed out when his plane had a flame out and was rescued by an ENTERPRISE helo. 85 Air Marsha! Nguyen Cao Ky, Prime Minister of the Republic of South Viet Nam arrives on the Big E flight deck.

Besides the obvious function of insuring the safe movement of the ship through the oceans of the world, the Navigation Department shows its face in many other places throughout the ship. Other responsibilities include the training and qualifications of the ship's OOD's, both at sea and in-port, and the rendering of honors of all types. 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 oiiicer 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.

GA The men of OA Division are the ship's weathermen. Their main function is to provide weather reports to Enterprise, her air vving, and ships in company. To provide this information, highly skilled and trained Aerographer's lVlates, using eye and instru- ment, monitor the atmosphere and ocean continuous- ly. One of OA's major sources of information are weather balloons carrying instruments which radio back pressures, temperatures and humidities in the atmosphere to heights above twenty miles. All observations made by the Big E's meteorological service are transmitted to weather centrals ashore for further dissemination into the global weather net- vvorks. OA division mans their equipment 24 hours a day, both at sea and in port to provide a weather watch for Enterprise. ' 5?

The center is made up of two sub-divisions-Air Operations and Car- rier Controlled Approach CCCAJ. The Air Operations crew plans and follows each aircraft flight from pre-launch briefing through com- pletion of recovery. The CCA crew provides radar vectors and flight following to all aircraft arriving or departing Enter- prise.

The minutes and hours preceding this call are filled with patient watching, careful evaluation and plenty of plain hard work by the radarmen of ClC's O1 Division. Aided by the NTDS CNaval Tactical Data Systemb, the Combat information Center is responsible for de- tecting, tracking and identifying all air and surface radar contacts. The computerized NTDS system great- ly assists O1 Division in its duties by releasing them from time-consuming manual calculations required in proper target evaluation. Assisted by the look-outs, CIC functions as the eyes and ears of the ship while at sea. In addition to controlling the intercept, strike, and support aircraft from Enterprise, the CIC team as- sists the Bridge by making recommendations in ma- neuvering to avoid other surface units. When entering or leaving port, a radar plot is maintained for piloting usage. ClC is often referred to as the tactical nerve center of the ship and serves as a central collection and dissemination area for all tactical information within the ship and with other units in company with Enterprise.

IQIC The integrated operational intelligence system CIOISJ was developed to meet the need for speed, flexibility, accuracy and above all, rapid retrieval of stored intelligence data. The complete system is com- prised ofthe RA-5C Reconnaissance-Attack Weapons System and an Integrated Operational Intelligence Center CIOICJ. Installed aboard the Enterprise this integrated intelligence system is designed to provide a tactic-al commander with a full background of infor- mation on a target area in a minimum of time. The IOIC also accepts intelligencerdaita collected by other agencies, for purpose of storage, retrieval and utili- zation of information. Rapid processing of RA-5C sensor inputs permits immediate interpretation and analysis of target information. The IOIC is divided into five components: Electronics Data Processing-The actual nerve center of the system where all intelligence information is recorded on cards and magnetic tapes. Storage St Retrieval-Where all data cards, negatives and prints are stored for rapid access. Photo Processing-Where rapid processing and dupli- cating of reconnaissance film is accomplished. Multi Sensor Interpretation Station-Where the actual interpretation of reconnaissance photography takes place. Electronic Evaluation Station-Where interpretation of the electronic intercepts picked up by the RA-5C aircraft is done. 249 Eidos for the ship's roster board are selected by Strickland, PH1.

CS Traditionally, the primary means of communica- tion from ship to ship to shore is found on the signal bridge, located by necessity on the highest and most convenient portion ofthe ship. The signal bridge, tac- tical voice of Enterprise and proud of its heritage, quietly and accurately carries out its duties with the snap of vvind-svvept flags, the polemic chopsticking of semaphore flags, and the blink of signal lights, vvhetherthe sky be fair or foul. The Signal Bridge is visual evidence of the Signal- men's pride, for no sloppiness exists here. Tautly outstanding in appearance, the shelter and signal wings condone the precise passage of information, required not only by the external functions of the ship, but also for the departmental requirements in need of quick response.

All the hazards of working with jet aircraft fall on the shoulders of the yellow and blue shirted flight deck crew. Their job is the expeditious handling of air- craft on the flight deck. V-1 positions aircraft for launches and recovery and is responsible for the Flight Deck Crash, Rescue and Fire-Fighting party. Teamwork is a necessity on the flight deck, and V-1 Division prides itself on just that. Each man must be able to understand a multitude of hand signals, and must act instantly to avoid endangering himself or a vital aircraft. There is no room for error on the flight deck. Oil and loose non skid are removed by old fashioned elbow grease, even on the most modern ship in the world.

The launching and recov- ery equipment includes four steam catapults, four arresting gear engines and one barricade engine. The launching and recovery of aircraft is an exact- ing job that permits no margin for error. Each indi- vidual among the 145 men assigned is vested with a tremendous burden of responsibility to safeguard the lives of the flight crews during launch and recovery operations. With the safety of personnel engaged in flying foremost in the mind of each individual, life in V-2 Division is a continuing cycle of maintenance, inspections, checks and cross-checks and reviews of personnel and equipment performance. PLAT systems personnel are apparently hard at work! The 4963 Cat crew studies its favorite feline.

They are the Hidden Handlers without whom no flight operations could be completed. They send ready to fly aircraft to the flight deck and receive sick aircraft in return. V-3 must position aircraft in the most advantageous part of the Hangar Deck so that squadron personnel may accomplish the required maintenance. V-3 Division also has the responsibility of preparing the Hangar Bay for official visiting and Hangar Deck live entertainment. The V-3 crew maintains a continu- ous watch in the four fire fighting stations on the Han- gar Deck to control any aircraft fires that might break out.

They oversee the re- plenishment of approximately 112,000 line items of Aviation and General stores material with an inventory in excess of 517.2 million. Approximately 650 issue transactions are handled daily with high priority avia- tion requisitions delivered directly to the customer at pre-designated delivery points in Aircraft Maintenance spaces. In striving for effective response to customer needs, the Control Division is manned 24 hours a day at sea through the use of two shifts. When the air wing is embarked, squadron aviation personnel are utilized to supplement regular Control Division staffing.

The new S-6 Division consists of Administrative Services, ShippingfReceiving, GSKfRepair Parts, ln- ventory and Aviation Stores Sections. Nlaterially the S-6 Division consists of 80 storerooms spread from Frame 5 to Frame 255 and from the O3 level to the 7th deck. There is no particular slack time for the Material Division. At sea, there are constant receipts and transfers of material and the primary job of serving the customer by filling his many and varied needs for material. In port, whether overseas or in the U.S., the pressure is always on to get the ship loaded to con- tinue operations or for the next deployment. Also there is the always present need for maintenance of spaces. f 132 ' ' 'fa pt. .,,, T tttt ..ssp 7 , , ' , , f . 'fh lffltigiih , . rf-' f ' ' , ' if Q GN!

Martin computes a radiation exposure reading. 308 RL Deep within the heart of ENTERPRISE are the eight nuclear reactors that furnish her power. Although they are marvels of ingenuity, their very nature makes nec- essary the modern disciplines that give purpose to the world's only 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 system. RL Division maintains the standards necessary for exacting control in these areas. The personnel of RL Division are called ELT's, which stands for Engineering Laboratory Technicians, and the Division itself is sometimes referred to as the ELT Gang. The ELT, working twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, whether tied up in San Fran- cisco or underway on Yankee Station, is part of the versatile team that insures continued safe and effi- cient operation ofthe Big E's reactor plants. He has undergone extensive training, not only as a regular Nuke, but also in the specialized fields of water chemistry and radiological controls. ln these fields he is the Navy's expert.

He works with the health and safety of the V public always in mind. 'T Another area of concern to the ELT and equally as important as radiological safety is control of the . chemistry of the water that is used in the reactor . plants. Proper chemistry control insures minimization ' of corrosion.

Due to the complexity of reactor operation, extensive knowledge of elec- tricity, radiological control, mechanics and chemistry is needed to meet requirements to fully control the interaction of the power plant which directly affects the equipment for which the reactor mechanics are responsible. ENTERPRISE contains the largest reactor complex in the world. Long hours are spent maintaining the equipment, keeping it in the best possible condition of readiness to enable the ship to rapidly meet all operational commitments. Keeping the reactor plants in this condition means effort. There is always a valve to. replace, equipment to repack, a leak to repair, or a space to field-day to a 4.0 condition, the ENTER- PRISE standard. The esprit de corps of the Reactor Mechanical Operators is apparent. Men volunteer extra hours with few breaks to make these standards possible. Each reactor mechanic receives six months of basic schooling as an introduction to the theories of reactor operation, chemistry control, applicable electronics, and thermodynamics. The foundation of his proficien- cy is laid during these first six months in the Nuclear Power Program. Upon graduating from basic school the trainee then reports to a prototype. This land based operational reactor is identical to the reactor plants aboard the Navy's nuclear ships. Here the trainee is given three more months of schooling to familiarize him with various components and systems in which he will become proficient. Once the operational knowl- edge is at his command the trainee becomes a quali- fied operator. He is then assigned a nuclear billet on an operating ship to complete the qualification pro- gram administered bythe ship to end the last phase of training. The purpose of the Reactor Mechanical Operator is to convert the power of the harnessed atom to usable steam power to provide the ship the capability for which she was designed. To this end, maximum effort is expended daily by each of the men. D. L. Eacher, MM3 is checked-out on the generator control panel by J. O. Kirk, EN2. 310 YT 1 l 1 i f J. D. O'Hearn, MM2 and M. J.

With a 5,500 man crew aboard her this last cruise our medical staff was hard pressed in all of her laboratories. The intense flight operations con- ducted during this at-sea period took on the look of a proving grounds for our medical team. They measured up well and congratulations are in order. Facilities for caring for sick and injured are com- parable to those ofthe finest 86 bed institution in the world. The sick-bay encompasses a clinical laboratory, X-Ray, fluoroscope and developing unit, an aviation examination section which includes ophthalmic and audiometric units and a pharmacy complete with the latest available drugs. Further examination shows that ENTERPRISE has a treatment room to handle emergencies and routine sick call. An operating room which is complete with instruments for all types of surgery and anesthesia equipment. There are two wards, one medical and one surgical, in addition to two quiet rooms C8 bedsj and one isolation unit C4 bedsj. The medical department is also equipped with physical therapy equipment, diathermy and radiotherapy units. In addition to the main sick bay there are six battle dressing stations strategically located on the ship. These stations are manned during general quarters and at other times for drill and training. Regularly assigned ship's company personnel consist of a senior medical officer Cflight surgeonj, a general surgeon, a medical officer trained in all aspects of nuclear radia- tion, a radiation control officer, a medical administra- tive officer and 38 hospital corpsmen trained in the many technical specialties allied to medicine. In addi- tion they are augmented by two flight surgeons and eight hospital corpsmen assigned to the embarked air wing. The Medical Department is very happy to report that the incidence of illnesses and accidents, withstanding long arduous hours, night operations etc., were much lower than those of an average U.S. city with a com- parable population. lt'll only hurt for a minute. ,fff The only people aboard getting 8 hours sleep.

Since its conception it has deployed to nearly all areas of the world, fought in numerous cam- paigns and has assumed many roles as a carrier-borne air wing. Since its first combat role in support of the African Campaign of World War ll until the present Vietnamese conflict it has been proudly known, far and wide, as one of the most capable and aggressive AirWings in Naval Aviation History. Air Wing NINE has a long and proud record of ac- complishments, but none more remarkable than its accomplishments on this 1965-1966 cruise in the Western Pacific. As a part of the Air Wing NINEXUSS ENTERPRISE Team, it played a leading role in the airborne efforts against Communist aggression in Vietnam. Under the command of Commander James L. Ship- man, the Air Wing chalked up a remarkable score against the North Vietnamese Communists. Eight thousand nine hundred sixty-five tons of ordnance were released over enemy targets. Thirteen thousand twenty combat sorties were flown in Southeast Asia and overtwentythousand total sorties were flown from the beginning ofthe cruise. The composition of the Air Wing has varied through- CARRIER AIR IN out the years. lts composition in combination with the capabilities of the nuclear powered USS ENTERPRISE made this team a most lethal striking force. lts fighter squadrons provided a badly needed pro- tective shield for both striking forces over the beach and the ships of Task Force 77. In many cases fighter crews were called on to supplement the attack capa- bility of the carrier force and did so with professional skill and ability. Enemy aircraft threats were a daily occurrence. Without the superb capabilities of Fighter Squadrons NINETY-TWO CVF-925 and NINETY-SIX CVF-965 Task Group 77 would have been all too vul- nerable tothe enemy's air threat. The attack squadrons remained the backbone of the Air Wing's striking force. Attack Squadrons NINETY- THREE QVA-935, NINETY-FOUR CVA-943, SEVENTY-SIX CVA-765, and THIRTY-SIX QVA-365 broke all estab- lished records for effectiveness and numbers of com- bat sorties against Communist lines of communication in North Vietnam. Their attack skill in the face of one of the most heavily defended areas of the world re- mains a credit to their profession. Heavy Attack Squadron FOUR CDetachment IVIIKEJ CVAH-45 was solely responsible for the Air Wing's capability to range over the vast areas of the Gulf of Tonkin and the Southeast Asian mainland.

Helicopter Combat Support Squadron ONE pilots, as Angels of Mercy, provided an invaluable capa- bility for air rescue in the vicinity of the carrier and defensive air surveillance in the vicinity of the force. Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron ELEVEN demonstrated its outstanding abilities in air early warning and as communications link between ship and aircraft. Support detachments were vital assets under the tempo of operations at Yankee Station.

A light attack squadron, the Shrikes fly the A4C Skyhawk, made by Douglas, and are home-based at Lemoore, California. They reported aboard Enterprise in September, 1965 and com- menced operations. On December 2, 1965, the Shrikes, along with sister squadrons from Air Wing Nine, became part of the world's first nuclear strike force when her planes struck Viet Cong installations in South Vietnam. The first aircraft to receive battle damage was from VA-94 and the squadron had the first aircraft to log 100 com- bat missions. Due to the concerted efforts of the weapons loaders VA-94 was the first to drop 1,000,000 pounds of ord- nance onthe enemy. From just south of the China border to the southern delta region of South Vietnam, the Shrikes left their calling card. 3,286,482 pounds of bombs were dropped, 73,489 rounds of 20mm cannon shells were put into buildings and boats, and 37,812 pounds of Bullpup air-to-ground missiles were used.

The 1965-66 Enterprise cruise was the ninth voyage to the Far East for VA-93. Since November, 1964, VA-93 has spent thirteen months operating with the Seventh Fleet in support of operations in Vietnam. Participating in the February 1965 retaliatory strikes against military targets in North Vietnam, VA-93 pioneered night dive bombing in jet aircraft by conducting the Navy's first night at- tack in combat while on a road reconnaissance mission in North Vietnam. Although commonly known as the Blue Blazers, 93 earned the nickname of Bridge Busters in May, 1966 when the squadron pilots downed seven of North Vietnam's important highway and railroad bridges in two days. The effects of those two days will plague Ho Chi Minh for quite a while. use LTJG Alsop, SDO of VA-93, receives a phone call giving him the current A!C status. , ff ff ff fff , X ' , Y ' ,, f ,, , f, 5 gffyf f' W VMZ W, f i O'D'L'P'f fV!Zf7' if fff.fff.7,7Z ffm' 'f X V ffffrf ff ' . , , ,, f:ffWV?f1'7M ,,.fWf4ffW?fff7f , f f-cMf'fffwfff ' ' ,, , , , 4,41 ff w fffoff ff , .ffflaf-f.!.ffzff JWMM ,iff ,, MM, MMM, ,, f wf ' ,yfffff 41 f x , 5' f' f .

Attack Squadron 76 has been extremely busy dur- ing the past two years. Their operations have ranged from training and shakedown cruises aboard both USS America and Enterprise to active combat and combat support in Vietnam and the Dominican Republic. The Spirits of 76 have sailed the seven seas and upon completion of the WestPac deployment will have sailed around the world twice in two years. In July 1965 orders were received to join Enterprise in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. lt was a renewed friendship between the Spirits and the Big E, and a new experience in joining a West Coast air wing aboard Enterprise. ln October, 1965, VA-76 left Norfolk, Virginia with Air Wing Nine for a combat deployment to Southeast Asia. This new assignment was received with great anticipation and efforts at all levels in the squadron proceeded with a renewed sense of urgency and dedi- cation. After a successful Operational Readiness Inspection conducted enroute to the South China Sea, 76 flew in combat for the first time in their history on December 2, 1965. During the six months that followed, the squadron proved that previous training and hard work paid concrete dividends. The squadron .accumulated 2,147 combat sorties, 5,124 flight hours, 2,548 car- rier landings and dropped 3,367,257 pounds of ord- nance on enemy targets in both North and South Vietnam. VA-76 will move to NAS Lemoore in September, 1966 to join Carrier Air Wing Five. And that means YOU!

ATTACK SQUADRON THIRTY SIX VA-36, the Roadrunners, had previously been a part of Carrier Air Wing Three and had returned to the U.S. in July, 1965 from eight months in the lVlediter- ranean aboard the Nlayport, Florida-based carrier Saratoga. In September of 65 they joined Carrier Air Wing Nine aboard Enterprise at Norfolk and com- menced training exercises off the Atlantic Coast. VA-36 had their baptism under fire on December 2, 1965 as Commander John lVlarshall, CO, led the first combat sortie ever flown by the Roadrunners. For the officers and men of VA-36 the 24 hour-a-day job of flying and keeping them flying has proven to be a rewarding experience. The satisfaction of know- ing their efforts are helping the free world's struggle against communism has been a guiding inspiration. They are proud to be the first Cecil Field A4 squadron sent to Southeast Asia and will return to Jacksonville and their families confident they have done their job. .gifs tak I 1 s .f 4 . , ff W fag ,M W zf n f , , ,, ,v , id:MiZ f ' ,V Z ,,A,, ,, ,.y..q-gwyf. , KW L I, .WV , , ,L 5' af' ff' Y ,M W , f ,,, ff X if ff Q WZ, f 1 f ff fl ,f,.--.fl ,ff ,f , -1 - ff zfffffyfff' ' ' f f Wf ,ww 1 f f iff ' f f , af ,. , , 1 A Johnson, AM H3, tapes off letters on an A4C in prepara- tion for painting after battle damage repairs.

From their combat deployment aboard USS Valley Forge to the present aboard Enterprise today, the Silverking's emblem has served as an ominous warning to all would-be aggressors. VF-92 was called to serve aboard Enterprise in September, 1965. On December 2, they launched their first combat sortie of a new era of combat, and were part of the world's first nuclear striking force. ln the first month of operations, VF-92 compiled a total of 934 flying hours, 474 arrested landings and 386 com- bat sorties.

Their mission- To provide all weather airborne early warning services to fleet forces and shore weather nets. Detachment Mike flies the E1B Tracer, or Willie Fudd. VAW-11 is a pioneer in the field of carrier based early warning. lt is the largest carrier based squadron in the Navy, having detachments aboard every West Coast carrier. The squadron was commissioned in 1948. lt has flown -the AD-5Q, TF-1Q and E-1B aircraft, and is novv in the process of changing to the E-2A Havvkeye. Although carriers possess the most modern weap- ons available for their defense and for the accom- plishment of their missions as mobile striking forces, early warning is the key to their survival. VAW-11 pro- vides this key through highly trained personnel and unique equipment. llklrllelll 4 ruims A til cw t. I. , Pilots and crewmen are briefed in the ready room.

The 75 men and three A3B aircraft have played a variety of roles in the Southeast Asian theatre. The A3B Sky- warrior, built by Douglas, is actually a long range, all weather bomber, but it has an air to air refueling capability. In the past eight months the workhorse squadron has: dropped 108,000 pounds of ordnance -hitting Viet Cong installations in South Vietnam and lines of communication in the North, pumped 1,716,- 442 pounds of jet fuel to thirsty aircraft, and on many occasions used the spacious bomb bay of the A3 to ferry mail and materials to Enterprise during extended periods at sea. The pilots and crews of Heavy Four accumulated 830 combat sortiesg 1,860 flight hours, and were awarded 32 air medals. They also recorded 661 ar- rested landings aboard Enterprise.
