Kitty Hawk (CV 63) - Naval Cruise Book

Text from Pages 1 - 360 of the 1987 volume:

ost of us, most of the time, live in blissful ignorance of what a small, elite, heroic group of Americans, are doing for us night and day. As we speak, all over the globe, American sailors and submariners and aviators are doing something very dangerous. People say, ' Well, it can ' t be too dangerous because there are no wrecks. ' But the reason we don ' t have more accidents is that these are superb professionals; the fact that they master the dangers does not mean that the dangers aren ' t real. ' Right now, somewhere around the world, young men are landing high-performance jet aircraft on the pitching decks of aircraft carriers at— night! You can ' t pay people to do that; they do it out of love of country, of adventure, of the challenge. We all benefit from it, and the very fact that we don ' t have to think about it tells you how superbly they ' re doing their job— living on the edge of danger so the rest of us need not think about, let alone experience, danger. ' — George Will, commenting during the ABC news special coverage, on Jan. 28, 1986, of the space shuttle Challenger disaster. A Tearful Embrace 1 1 ' So it began. A final embrace and the memory of someone dear, with tears staining her face. USS KITTY HAWK was leaving San Diego again. But this time was different. The 80,000-ton carrier would not be return- ing to this southern California city which had been home for 25 years. Instead, the HAWK would wind up its six-month deployment at the Phil- adelphia Naval Shipyard. DEPARTURE 1 Final Preparations The difference was noticeable in the extra fanfare, and the feeling of a final fare- well that increased in the weeks previous to the ship getting underway. Events in- cluded a formal farewell dinner hosted by Captain D. W. Hoffman, then KITTY HAWK ' S commanding officer, for the mayors of San Diego and Coronado and other local dignitaries. Last minute work was completed, in- cluding resurfacing of the flight and han- gar decks in preparation for craning on the air wing. Ring In The New H ' ' ii l 6 DEPARTURE KITTY HAWK threw a party for it- self, three days before leaving, on New Year ' s Eve. Even the impending six- month separation couldn ' t dampen the spirits of the HAWK ' S sailors, families and friends. At midnight the revelers rang in the new year, a year which prom- ised change and new adventures for KITTY HAWK and crew. Fond Farewei Suddenly, it. was January third and the last line was let go from the pier as a pair of tugs coaxed the great ship from its berth. Abrightspray of red, white and blue balloons soared up from the flight deck into an azure sky. KITTY HAWK slowly swung into the channel and made its way to sea, escorted by a fleet of plea- sure craft . All along the shore residents of San Diego bid a fond farewell to the ship which had become so much a part of the city. And so it began. KITTY HAWK ' S 16th deployment from a home she had known for a quarter of a century. Her final destination, an overhaul which would prepare the ship for service, per- haps for another 25 years. KITTY HAWK had begun its voyage to tomor- row. j (1 J ( 1. 1 ■ •fc ' fljl all 1 L 1 3 M 1 ll JTjj j W4 i P i i 1 «K ■Ki ' ' lui.. 4mt ■ Goodbye San Diego AIR W With the Hoopla of the departure behhid them the crew of KITTY HA WK and Air Wing Nine set about doing what the ship was designed for . . . flying planes. This was the second deployment with KITTY HAWK for CVW-9 ' It was also the second around-the-world cruise for the air wing. In 1954 they circumnaviga- ted the globe on USS HORNET. Air Wing Nine has a long history dating back to its inception as the first num- bered Carrier Air Group. CAG-9. in March 1942. Always an effective air arm, during a 1960 Western Pacific cruise Air Wing Nine ' s aircraft complement included FBU Crusaders, F2H Banshees, A4D Skyhawks, FJ Furies and AD-7 Spads. In the following quarter century CAG-9 has evolved into an even more effective weapons system. Under Commander Thomas L. T- MAC McClelland the air wing features some of the most advanced aircraft in the world. The aircraft which make up the air wing today are F-14A Tomcats. A-7E Corsairs. A-6E Intruders. EA-6B Prowl- ers, S-3 Vikings. E-2C Hawkeyes and SH-3H Sea Kings. The unique capabili- ties of each aircraft provides the entire battle group defense against any threat. CDR T. L.

VF-211 ' s history dates back to May 1945 when it was estabhshed as Bombing Squadron 74, flying SBW-4E aircraft. Since then the squadron has flown nu- merous aircraft including the F4U-4 Corsair, F9F-2 Panther, FJ-3M Fury, F3H-2M Demon, Fll-F Tiger and F8U- 1 Crusader.

Since that time, the squadron has won such coveted honors as the Battle Efficiency E Award (three times), the CNO Aviation Safety Award in 1977 and 1983. and the TARPS Excellence trophy in 1983 and 1985. VF-211 won the Joseph C. Clifton Award in 1983 and 1985. recognizing the Checkmates as the most outstanding fighter squadron in the U.S. Navy. CDR J. Flaherty CO, VF-211 CDR S.

The Renegades have a proud history dat- ing back to the 19502 flying the F-J3 Fury and F-8U Crusader. While flying the Crusader from 1959 to 1975, the squadron earned the Presidential Unit Citation, Navy Unit Commendation (two awards). Meritorious Unit Com- mendation (five awards), Battle Effi- ciency Award (1972), Vietnam Service Medal (eight awards), and Republic of Vietnam Campaign Medal. During the Vietnam War, the Renegades estab- lished their reputation early as MIG Kil- lers by becoming one of the Navy ' s first Ace squadrons. In 1975 VF-24 transitioned to the F-14A Tomcat and in 1977 became the first F- 14 squadron to win the MUTHA Award. Admiral Joseph Clifton Award, the Battle Efficiency E and CNO Safety Award. The Renegades recently surpassed the three-year FOD free mark; an accom- plishment no other F-14 fighter sq uad- ron has attained. VF-24 continues to be a leader in fighter aviation in respect to tactical development, readiness and safety. Current holders of the CVW-9 Hook Award for the highest consistent carrier landing grades, the Renegades maintain their lead in fighter aviation ' through professionalism, pride and per- formance.

The Boomers have taken this mission seriously since September 1, 1960 when the squadron was commissioned. Begin- ning their career of service flying the A- 1 Skyraider, in its first six years VA-165 made four Western Pacific deployments and was one of the first carrier-based at- tack squadrons to see action in South- east Asia. In 1967 the Boomers transitioned to the A-6 Intruder. In 1968 the Squadron re- ceived the Pacific Fleet Battle E and a Meritorious Unit Commendation. It was just the beginning as the Boomers have earned three additional Battle E s and two more Meritorious Unit Com- mendations. In 1973 VA-165 returned to its base at Whidbey Island as the last A- 6 squadron deployed to Vietnam. The Boomers currently fly the latest ver- sion of the Intruder, the A-6E TRAM. The A-6E TRAM includes the Forward Looking Infrared Receiver (FLIR) and LASER ranging guidance capability. 40 VA-165 ■■■Ciit,.

Known also as the Jasons from their radio call sign, VA-147 has earned a reputation for readiness. With a primary mission of projecting power ashore, the Argonauts are an integral part of KITTY HA WK ' S offensive team. Like their sister squadron. VA-146. VA-147 flies the A- 7E Carsair II. Both squadrons are based at Naval Air Sta- tion Lemoore, California. The Argonauts, commanded by Commander J. R. Hutchison, set an impressive operational posture while maintaining an excellent safety record. They have accumulated more than 20,000 consecu- tive hours of accident-free flying and recently celebrated their 20th anniversary. The true heroes of Light Attack Squadron 147 were the Argonauts themselves. They were the men who maintained the Corsairs and ran the administrative divisions in the squadrons. Working long hours, they kept the squadron ready.

Flying the Grumman E-2C Hawkeye, the only aircraft ever designed specifically for airborne early warning, the Golden Hawks give the battle group precious time by detecting and classify- ing a threat while deploying intercep- tors. The E-2C ' s advanced radar system auto- matically detects and tracks airborne targets over water or land. Virtually any maritime target of interest will be detected, even in high seas. VAW-112 is the present holder of the COMNAVAIRPAC Battle Efficiency Award and CNO Safety Award. VAW- 112 has well over 25,260 mishap-free flight hours spanning 13 and a-half years of operations. The Golden Hawks, based at Naval Air Station Miramar, made the round the world trip under the command of Com- mander Terry Magee.

' 1 h ' ' ft 100 SCREWBIRDS A major threat to the modern carrier bat- tle group comes from below the surface of the ocean. The job of VS-33 is to locate and combat the enemy beneath the sea. The Screwbirds, flying the S-3 Viking, utilize a vast array of detection gear to search, localize, track and attack any and all subsurface threats. In addition to anti-submarine warfare, this multi-sen- sor, highly flexible aircraft can perform long range surface searches, deliver a va- riety of weapons and mines and easily search far ahead of the battle group with tremendous endurance on station.

HS-2 flies the SH-3H Rea King, an all- weather, multi-mission aircraft. With a maximum gross weight of 21,000 pounds and an on-station mission capability time that can exceed five hours, the Sea King is well suited to fulfilling its pri- mary role of carrier inner zone, anti-sub- marine warfare and secondary function of search and rescue. HS-2 was the first established HS squadron on the West Coast. Homeported at NAS North Is- land, San Diego, the Golden Falcons brought a contingent of six Sea Kings, 24 officers and 154 enlisted men.

Guam, deployed aboard KITTY HA WK in earlv February from the USS MIDWAY during no notice surge operations to the Indian Ocean. The mission of the 10 officers and 44 en- listed personnel and their aircraft, the EA-3B Skywarrior (known by most as the Whale ) was to provide tactical in- dications and warning of possible hostile threats to the Hawk and the ships of Bat- tle Group Bravo. Highlights of their stay were numerous. During the month of March they logged 100 flight hiiurs on their single aircraft and tallied up a 97 ' , sortie completion rate. These statistics are even more im- pressive when you consider their Whale airframe was 28 years old at the time. Other milestones included the privilege of making the 5.000th arrested landing of the Hawk ' s 1987 cruise. The men of VQ-1 Det Alfa were proud to be a part of Hawk ' s history as she pressed on in her round the world cruise. 126 DETACHMENTS I ' ;C Hinson A 1)1 Dana AMEl Selga A MSI Waters AD2 Courtois AD2 Delossantos mmmm dA m J i j j iikm AE2 Rauch AT2 Snellgrose AMH2 Turner AMH2 Williams AMH3 CoUette AP:3 Cross AE3 Hanev ATS Human AE3 Kukuk AT3 McNorton AD3 Ouzts AK3 Sabisch AT3 Stachowski AMMAN Goldsby AEAN Gonzales ATAN Krist AEAN Long ATAN Palm AKAN Romero AMSAN Savior r® ' DETACHMENTS 127 V A- 11 5 Eagles Det Arab VA-115 Det Arab served with KITTY HA WK and Air Wing Nine from Feb. 19 to May 8 1987.

The roof rats of V-1 spot aircraft and provide flight deck damage control through the Crash and Salvage crew. Once the aircraft has been spotted or positioned safely on the catapults the safety of the aircraft and crew rests with V-2. This division is responsible for the operation of the four steam powered ca- tapults, four arresting gear engines, one barricade engine, the plat monitor sys- tem and the Fresnel Lens Optical Land- ing System. Oh yes. they also handle get- ting the aircraft safely back aboard. The hangar bay is the province of V-3 di- vision. They move multi-million dollar aircraft in very cramped quarters to within inches of one another. V-3 also operates the four huge elevators used to transport aircraft from the flight deck to the hangar deck. V-1 division is responsible for the deliv- ery of fuel to all the embarked aircraft. The grapes can be found anywhere, from refueling aircraft on the flight deck to the fuel pump rooms in the lower lev- els of the ship. V-5 division mans both primary Flight Control and the Air Department Office. Primary Flight Control personnel assist the Air Boss and Mini Boss in coordinat- ing launches and recoveries. Office per- sonnel handle all the major administra- tive functions.

The show is about to begin. The men in blue jerseys stand, like sta- gehands, patiently waiting for their parts. Others, in jerseys of red, purple, brown and green, scurry about making last minute preparations, insuring the stage and performers are ready. A man in yellow strides forward, bring- ing order from the seeming chaos, and like a conductor, directs the perfor- mers through their paces. Like dancers, the men in the multi-col- ored jerseys spin and glide across the flight deck, each performing his role to make the show a success. Their musical accompaniment is the whine of jet turbines and the roar of af- terburners. A green-shirted man joins an E-3C Hawkeye in a daring pas de deux as he prepares it for its starring role. The roaring reaches a crescendo and the star is hurled from the stage as the show reaches its finale. The quiet is like silent applause. The day ' s performance has ended, but the performers know that tomorrow, men and machines will join together once again. The show goes on. LCDR Stone LCDR Williamson LT M.iss LT Stellfox AIMD Admin AFCM Mondv AQ2 Rossmeli AT3 Gruetzmacher Diimig KITTY HAWK ' S world cruise when aircraft were needed they were there. This was due to the efforts of the men in Aircraft Intermediate Mainte- nance Department, or AIMD. The four divisions of AIMD handle al- most any problem which may keep an aircraft from flying. Nothing is too large or too small. P om gauges to engines, tires to repacking parachutes, AIMD has it covered. They also maintain and repair the yellow gear which moves aircraft about on the flight and hangar decks. The four work centers of IM-1 handle administrative aspects of maintenance. Supply, quality control and data analysis are also handled by IM-1. IM-2 is responsible for accomplishing in- termediate level maintenance on all air- craft mechanical systems. This includes repair, inspecting and testing various jet engines, and operation of the oil analysis lab. Testing and repairing oxygen com- ponents, hydraulic equipment and main- taining the vital aircrew survival equip- ment are also part of the job. IM-3. made up of ship ' s company and TAD squadron personnel, handle all the avionics and armament equipment for Air Wing Nine. IM-. ' i supports every- thing from calibration of torque wrenches to repair of laser systems. IM-4 maintains more than 500 devices known collectively as yellow gear . These include tow tractors, turbines for starting jet aircraft and mobile firefight- ing equipment. AIMD ' s four divisions perform vital tasks to fulfill the department ' s mission, keep the aircraft flying.

The ship has three chaplahis assigned to provide and f ' aciHtate ministry to Protes- tant, Catholic and Eastern Orthodox and other faith groups. The Chaplain ' s De- partment offers pastoral care and coun- seling on an individual and group basis. The wide range of chaplains programs include religious education, premarital seminars, marriage enrichment, and pre- deployment and reunion seminars. They also maintain a well stocked library of over 5.000 volumes and an extensive au- dio-visual library called the Per.sonal De- velopment Center. During KITTY HAWK ' S world cruise the chaplain ' s helped brighten many a day with visits from the urbane and mys- terious Father Vukducci. On a more serious note the chaplains co- ordinated community work projects to offer assistance to the needy at each of KITTY HA WK ' S port visits. In 1987 KITTY HAWK ' S Chaplain ' s Department truly spread goodwill and the word of God all around the world.

CV division which con- sists of signalmen and CR division, made up of radiomen. The Signalmen rating is one of the oldest in the Navy, and visual communication, the first form of nautical communication, continues undiminished in importance to the present day. The Signalmen use flaghoists, semaphore and flashing lights to communicate with other ships while underway. They also must be experienced in the principles of ship recognition, be quick to recognize per- sonal flags and pennants of U.S. and for- eign officers and properly render honors. If C V uses some of the oldest forms of naval communications, the radiomen of CR divi- sion are equipped with some of the most advanced. Electronics and computers enable the ra- diomen to communicate around the world in a matter of seconds. As the voice of the battle group, COMM processes almost 40,000 messages a month, ensuring that the word gets to the right person. To make it happen the RM ' s are on duty around the clock everv dav of the year. H LCDR Meyerriecks Comm Officer LT.JG Heine LTJG -Jacobson EN.S Ready CWO. ' !

Their tasks are certainly not glamorous and quite often are dangerous. One of the most critical jobs the Boatswain ' s Mates perform is underway replenishment. Whether it is fuel for the ship or food for the crew, Deck is there to ensure that it gets from the supply ship to KITTY HAWK quickly and safely. The hazards of two ships plowing through the seas within a few hundred feet of churning water between them are many. During its trip around the world KITTY HAWK underwent numerous UNREPs, and the lack of serious accidents is proof of the professionalism of men of Deck. There are many other jobs to be done: chipping and painting, maintaining the anchors and chains, upkeep on the Cap- tain s gig and liberty boats and standing bridge and quarterdeck watches. These are the jobs that must be accomplished for the ship to operate efficiently, and Deck does them right.

They also provide emergency care to the entire battle group. All of the dental specialties are well-repre- sented. Dr. Little, as Ship ' s Oral and Max- illofacial Surgeon, repairs jaw fractures and facial lacerations when he ' s not extrac- ting impacted wisdom teeth. Dr. Maxwell provides crowns, bridges, den- tures and gum surgery for- his patients as Ship ' s Prosthodontist and Comprehensive Dentist. Root canal therapy is provided by Dr. Cummings who, along with Dr. Thomas, provides fillings for their patients. The doctors are supported by 11 Dental Technicians. Dental Department personnel are an inte- gral part of the Medical Dept. Mass Ca- sulty Response Team. Also the Walking Blood Bank, when activated, is set up in Dental. Dental Department ' s high qualitv care helped keep the smiles on KITTY HA WK sailor ' s faces as they went around the world.

That ' s quite a load to move through the water, but the men of KITTY hawk ' s Engineering Department do just that. They supply the steam which, not only powers the ship, but launches the air- craft. The men of Engineering also gen- erate electricity for lighting, air condi- tioning and other essential operational equipment. One division also maintains the Quality of Life functions for the comfort of the crew. Damage Control is an integral part of the Engineering Department, and one of the most important. Inter-ship communica- tions is handled by E division and the gyrocompass which aids in navigating is also maintained by the IC-men. Because they work deep within the ship they tend to go unnoticed, until an emer- gency requires their attention. Whether the emergency is a fire or a backed up sink, the professionals in Engineering are always quick to respond. They are the real power behind the KITTY HAWK.

These could be helping a crewmember with advice on a simple legal question, or perhaps helping him fill out a legal document such as a will or power of at- torney. Another service they provide is legal briefs on foreign countries, advising the crew of laws with which they may not be familiar. The laws of the ship are also part of their job. Legal office processes records of in- dividuals who are charged with minor in- fractions of the Uniform Code of Mili- tary Justice. These minor infractions usually are settled at non-judicial pun- ishment, or Captain s Mast. If the infrac- tion is deemed more serious then Legal will set up a courts martial. Understanding the law is a sure way of avoiding trouble. Legal Department is there when a crew member needs help understanding. LCDR Saccoccio Legal Officer LNC Gaston LN2 Taylor LN2 Veal PN.3 Gonzalez YN;? Mundell SA Castillo 222 LEGAL I The Maintenance Department, better known as : -M. is responsible for tracking KITTY HAWK ' S maintenance pro- gram. This program, always important, looms even more so as the ship ap- proaches the Ship Life Extension Pro- gram (SLEP) overhaul. The preventive maintenance system, or PMS. ensures that proper maintenance is performed on a regular basis. 3-M schedules all work availabilities, screens work requests and builds work packages for overseas availabilities and SLEP. Working with the Intermediate Mainte- nance Management System Real Time computer program, they track, screen and plan work to be performed to main- tain the ship at its most efficient. The staff of 3-M also train key personnel on the use of the IMMSRT program to enable departments to more effectively plan their maintenance program. The work that keeps KITTY HA WK in shape begins with 3-M. Whether preven- tive maintenance or repair work. 3-M is the core of longevitv forUSS KITTY HAWK. 226 .3-M 227 228 Total Security . That ' s the motto of KITTY HAWK ' S Marine Detachment. To do this at least half of the force of more than 60 Marines is on duty at all times. Each section has its own Sergeant of the Guard and falls under the direction of the Guard Chief and Guard Officer. At times working htand in hand witii tlie ship ' s Masters at Arms, they provide firepower to the MAA s. In addition they train qualified naval personnel in the use of weapons such as the M-14 service rifle. M870 shotgun and the .45 caliber pistol. Their purpose is to train a Ship ' s Self De- fense Force to augment the Marines. The Marine Detachment is also called upon to provide personnel for various ceremonies, including Honor Guards, Colors Details for changes of command and Burial Details. They also render ap- propriate honors for visiting dignitaries. But always they have their primary duty in mind, security. For this they train con- stantly, practicing and preparing to live up to their motto, Total Security . CAPT Thomas CO.

I haven ' t been feeling to hot. this salutation greets the officers and men of Medical Department quite often during the course of a deployment. They always smile and ask what seems to be the problem. No matter where they are the doctors and corpsmen are on call and they wouldn ' t have it anv other wav. Thev take the health of KITTY HAWK ' S crew seriously. A t daily sick calls care is provided for such mundane ills as colds, aches and pains. Pre- ventive medicine includes shots and inno- culations against a variety of common and exotic diseases which mav threaten the well-being of the Hawk sailor. In case of an emergency the Medical Re- sponse Team is ready to rush to the aid of the injured party. Should an operation be necessary the Medical Department has the staff to ensure the best care and treatment possible. There is even a pharmacy to dis- pense needed medication. Providing the best possible care to KITTY HA WK ' S crew is Medical ' s goal. For them the best sailor is a healthv one.

Today the stars are still used by the men in KITTY HAWK ' S Navigation Department. The old tools of the trade such as the sextant and compass are to- day supplemented by computerized systems such as the ship ' s intertial nav- igation system, or SINS. But whether old or new methods the main object is to get KITTY HAWK where she ' s go- ing. Plotting courses is not the only job the quartermasters in Navigation are task- ed with. They also maintain the bridge logs and keep a watch on the bridge at all times when the ship is underway. In- port they stand Cjuarterdeck watches and always they update their naviga- tional charts, their roadmaps for the oceans of the world. Throughout KITTY HAWK ' S world cruise the men in Navigation plotted a true course for the ship to travel. From the Pacific and Indian Oceans through the Suez and Mediterranean they guid- ed the ship safely home. LCDR LaGrone Navigator 240 NAVIGATION m sf ' m •w S QM3 Hubbard QM:?

Safety is the name of the eight man de- partment that has ensured the KITTY HAWK lives up to its reputation. Safety patrols the entire ship from bow to stern, bilges to flight deck, looking for potential safety hazards. When they find one the division responsible for the space is notified to take corrective action. Each man in Safety has a specialty, whether it ' s the Flight Deck or Engineer- ing, but they are always alert for possible problems wherever they are. They also conduct safety briefings and safety standdowns in an effort to maintain the crew ' s safety awa reness. With two con- secutive deployments without a fatality and as the current holder of the Admiral Flatley Award for Safety the success of the department is obvious. Safety is not just a department, for them it ' s an everyday job. 258 SAFETY g t H Hj V i • Br 1 9 1 !-•■ jfc 1 4 k 1 A 41 y k_ ' 259 ▼. Many various services are needed to take care of a city of over 5.000. KITTY HA WK is no exception. Meals, laundry, parts are all services handled by Supply depart- ment. S-1 handles the ship ' s multi-minion dollar inventory and budget. They make sure the ship and air wing are maintained in the highest possible state of readiness. Providing as many as 15,000 meals a day is the job of S-2 and S-2M. They prepare well-balanced, nourishing meals four times a day. S-3, Sales and Services is responsible for the various ship ' s stores, barber shops and laundry dry cleaning services.

H ' £ -OX Vft KITTY HAWie When KITTY HAWK left San Diego they expected a cruise full of port calls and showing the Hag. Things don ' t al- ways work out as planned. As crewmembers made their plans for liberty in the Phihppines world events were shaping up in such a way to demand the Hawk ' s presence in short order. The week in PI was shortened to two frantic days of craning on supplies and making the ship ready to answer any contingency the U.S. required of her. It was a monumental task squeezing a week ' s worth of work into two days but KITTY HAWK and crew did it ' . They even managed to get in a few hours of lib- erty. CRUISE 285 Sultan of Brunei While heading for the Strait of Malacca KITTY HA WK hosted its first head of state of the cruise. The Sultan of the tiny, oil-rich nation of Brunei was welcomed aboard with full pomp and ceremony. A tour of the ship included the opportu- nity to view flight operations from the bridge. The official party later viewed a firepower demonstration put on by the squadrons of Air Wing Nine. When the visit ended later in the day, the Sultan had a better idea of the capabili- ties of the KITTY HAWK Air Wing N ine team. The KITTY HAWK then continued on her way to the Indian Ocean. 286 BRUNEI Passing time on Gonzo Station 7 3 the Indian Ocean there is seemingly no end of water, but very little beach. So KITTY HAWK used the Steel Beach to hold athletic competitions and cook- outs to help break up the monotony of the work week. Weekends included such events as box- ing or wrestling smokers, basketball, vol- leyball and even soccer. One weekend was devoted to Damage Control and Deck Olympics, while an- other included a music fest featuring many talented individuals jamming together, and a concert by the Kitty Hawk Band. ] With the many special weekend events to look forward to the work week seemed to pass a little faster.

Once the federal capital of Pakistan, the city of about 9 million is the largest in the country. Pakistan being a Moslem country it was an opportunity for most of KITTY HA WK ' s crew to explore a totally different culture. It was also an excellent chance to shop. Ship sponsored tours helped crewmembers explore the history of the former British colony. Unsure of what to expect, KITTY hawk ' s crew were quickly put at ease by the friendliness and hospitality of the Pak- istanis.

President Zia-ul-Haq of Pakistan visited the ship as KITTY HAWK completed a five-day port of call to Karachi. The president toured the ship from the bridge to the engineer spaces. In the han- gar bay several aircraft were available for viewing, and President Zia was im- pressed with the capabilities as explain- ed by the pilots. He was even more im- pressed when he saw them in action dur- ing an airpower and seapower demon- stration. During an exchange of mementos, Presi- dent Zia expressed his appreciation for the hospitality shown him. I will take back many fond memories of the USS KITTY HAWK, said Presi- dent Zia. I hope you can come again, we will welcome you with open arms. 298 ZIA Crossing the Line The day came when the ship crossed over the equator and entered Neptune ' s realm. The monarch of the deep was not pleased for aboard KITTY HA WK were thousands of slimy wogs. Quickly the loyal and true shellbacks an- swered the call and ferreted out the slimy creatures wherever they crawled. Many of them expressed a desire to join the hallowed ranks of the shellbacks. Neptune decreed that those who so de- sired should submit to the time-honored tests, and they would then be judged by the king himself. WOGS 299 Jambo Mombasa Africa, the name brings images of lions, jungle and an abundance of natural beauty. KITTY HAWK ' S crew had the opportu- nity to explore the wonders of the Dark Continent during a seven-day port visit. For many of the cre w it was a return visit. The HA WK last visited Kenya s second largest city in October 1985. Everything was there as they remem- bered it. Sparkling white sand beaches, lush tropical growth and the friendly people with ready smiles of welcome. Many crewmembers took advantage of ship-sponsored safaris. They returned with stories of Africa in the wild. Herds of zebra, gazelle and elephants. Prowling lions and leopards and the comical antics of baboons. Jambo! Welcome to Mombasa, wel- come to Africa. MOMBASA 301 Doing the Ditch The day finally came when the ship left the 10, sailed up through the Red Sea, and entered the Suez Canal. The 76-mile link between the Red Sea and the Mediterranean was the occasion for a challenge run. The challenge? Run a relay the entire time the ship is transiting the canal and the team with the most miles is the win- While this was going on other sailors were taking pictures. When an American flag was displayed along the shore, every- one cheered loudly. Meanwhile as the ship left the canal the runners had amassed 572 miles total, and the KITTY HAWK was finally in the Mediterranean. SUEZ 309 Palma, Pearl of the Med The first port stop in the Mediterranean was Palma de Mallorca. Spain. As it is a popular resort, vacationers from all over Europe were on hand when KITTY HAWK arrived. With its agreeable weather and friendly people Palma made HAWK sailors feel right at home. Days were spent wandering the streets, stopping in one of the many colorful shops or cafes or basking in the sun on one of the sandy beaches. At night the pace picked up as the discos and nightclubs invited the crew to boogie the night away. As KITTY HAWK left the thought in many minds was how do we top this. 311 |S| Al Tli i 318 319 Vive Le France! The only way to top Palma was with the French Riviera. And Cannes was our gateway. Famous for its film festival Cannes is equally well known in Europe for excel- lent cuisine and popular beaches. After sampling some of France in Cannes many HAWK sailors took advantage of the splendid rail system to visit Nice, Paris and Monte Carlo in Monaco. Cannes itself or explored the nearby is- land of St. Marguerite where the Man in the Iron Mask was held in the Citadel in 1834. The athletically inclined had the oppor- tunity to do something many in America only dream of, ski in the Alps. It ended far too soon. But the disap- pointment of leaving Cannes was tem- pered by the knowledge that our next port was in the U.S. - .i:---J«!t- WJ 324 ■ Bj l ■i Br .. mym- f - v i n ' W r uSr 1 iHi H m taiSMAKisr iHi lik: ' ' iiS w5? ?
