■ j ' •wr: - i.. L « -. sr - SS ' - •WESTPAC 96-97 . This was KITTY HAWK ' s 18th deployment in 36 year ' s of storied naval aviation service. 44,170 nautical miles cruising the high seas with over 5,000 of your closest friends and 77 of the most powerful aircraft on earth. Cruiser Destroyer Group FIVE, Destroyer Squadron THIRTY-ONE, Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN and the crew of KITTY HAWK deploying on WESTPAC 96-97 .... When we set sail on 11 October 1996, the average age of our entire crew was twenty-two and one-half years old. Most of us never had been on a major overseas deployment before and did not know a Polly wog from a Shellback. After fljing and steaming across the Pacific, and after enjoying port visits to Hong Kong and Singapore, we took station in the Arabian Gulf and Hew in support of Operation SOUTHERN WATCH. We swung on the hook for Christmas near Bahrain and experienced what pier liberty was like (twice!!) in Jebel Ali. United Arab Emirates. We ' ll fondly remember E-mail, Sailor phones and satellite T.V.; crossing the line, steel beach picnics and Golden Shellback ' s; Perth, Australia and Hobart, Tasmania; 858 Tigers in Pearl Harbor and visits by our Chief of Naval Operations and the Secretary of Defense. Most of all, we ' ll remember our spectacular Homecoming on Friday. 11 April 1997. Thousands of our family and friends patiently waiting to greet us in grand style at Naval Air Station North Island. Wliether we are turning the pages through this cruise book in 1998 or 2028, the faces and smiles will never change. The photographs will remind us of deployment challenges when we were on the tip of the spear and the accomplishments we recorded as a crew during our time at sea on board KITTY HAWK. As ambassadors of our country to varied foreign ports of call we proudly represented America ' s resolve to the world and demonstrated to one and all our United States Navy ' s tradition of excellence. As John F. Kennedy said Any person who may be asked in this century what they did to make their life worthwhile, 1 think can respond w ith a good deal of pride and satisfaction, ' I served in the Uniti ride and satisfaction, iniwork characterizing us all. the KITTY H A WK cre« En ov this volume of blue water memories.

David I-:. Wallace DECK DEPARTMENT Deck Department is the backbone of KITTY HAWK and is manned by the Navy ' s oldest rating, the Boatwain s Mate. KITTY HAWK ' s Boatwain ' s Mates perform the traditional duties of men and women at sea; standing bridge watches, maintaining mooring lines, operating the anchor windless, marlinespike seamanship and small boat handling. Whether KITTY HAWK wants to put personnel ashore, take on fuel at sea for the ship or aircraft, drop the anchor, rescue a person overboard, or bring on provisions. Deck Department is solely responsible for the success of all these skilled tasks. In order to carry out these demanding tasks, the department is divided into three divisions. First, Second, and the Bos ' n Detail. While all three di isions participate in underway replenishment (UNREP) evolutions, each are assigned specific tasks to complete while at sea and inpoil. both in homcport and overseas. FIRST DIVISION (ANCHOR, MOORING, UNREPS) The 40 personnel of First Division are responsible lor the maintenance and preservation of Deck Department spaces from the bow to frame l. ' iO. This includes two refueling stations, one replenishment station, the Ceremonial Quarter Deck, and the Forecastle. In addition to maintaining the spaces in top notch condition, they are also responsible for one of two Ridgid Hull Infaltable Boats (RHIB). First Division is also responsible for performing many evolutions including mooring, anchoring, and underway replenishment. SECOND DIVISION (BOATS, MOORING, UNREPS) The 40 personnel of Second Division are responsible for the maintenance and preservation of Deck Department spaces from frame 150 to the faintail. This includes one refueling station, one replenishment station, two Destroyer refueling rigs, and the Faintail Quarterdeck. Second Division is also responsible for one of two RHIB, and the professional operation and maintenance of the Captain ' s Gig. Second Division provides qualified Boatwain ' s Mates to stand bridge watches, from Helmsman to Lookouts. Like First Division, Second Division also performs many evolutions which include mooring and underway replenishment details. BOS ' N DETAIL (ADMIN, PAINTING, SPECIAL EVOLUTIONS) The 12 personnel of Bos ' n Detail are KITTY HAWK ' s painters and Deck ' s logistic support team. Bos ' n Detail is responsible for maintaining departmental operational funds to ensure that Deck Department is always well stocked with everything from pencils to mooring lines. The Bos ' n Detail is solely responsible for the maintenance i)f the ship ' s exterior, ensuring it is kept rust free and looking sharp. During underway penods.

Donahue The Marine Detachment carries on one of the oldest traditions, and, in fact, the original mission of the Marine Corps in serving aboard Naval Ships. The MARDET is KITTY HAWK ' S primary armed response force, a shipboard swat team, capable of responding to security violations anywhere onboard within five minutes of notification. Most of the crew see the Marines when they are conducting drills or ceremonies such as sunset parades, burials at sea details, Colorguards, raising and lowering colors in port and shifting colors when getting underway or mooring. The MARDET also provides a sentry for the ship ' s Commanding Officer. Tradition is alive and well through the KITTY HAWK-MARDET team. GYSGT T. Pippins SGT J. D. Fonlenot SOT A. Jiniene , SGT J. L.

Washington, flies the Grumman EA-6B Prowler. The Prowler is a four person, tactical jet which conducts a weather, carrier based electronic warfare missions in support of the Carrier Air Wing. The Prowler can detect and analyze enemy radars and communications. The three Electronic Countermeasures Officers (ECMOs) process information and determine which portion of the enemy ' s command, communications, and control network to attack. The EA-6B employs the USQ- 1 1 3 Comm Jammer todismpt communications and the ALQ 99 Tactical Jamming System to counter enemy radars in a wide range of frequency bands. If the mission requires the destruction of the radar installation, the crew of the Prowler can employ the AGM 88 High Speed Anti-Radiation Missle (HARM). This combined ability todisiupt or destroy an adversary ' s air defense network makes the EA-6B the premiere tactical electronic warfare platfomi in the world. VAQ- 135 LCDR F. M, Niles LCDR B. S.

Kupcha Executive Officer The Wallbangers of Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron ONE HUNDRED SEVENTEEN (VAW-1 17) were established on 1 July 1974. VAW-1 17 is based at Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego, CA. The Wallbangers fly the Grumman E-2C Group II -Hawkeye. The Hawkeye has a crew of five, consisting of two pilots and three Naval Flight Officers (NFOs). The World Famous Wallbangers are the Battle Space Managers for the KITTY HAWK Battle Group. Some of the E-2C missions include Command and Control, medium and long range Airborne Early Warning, Interceptor Control, Surface Surveillance, Power Projection a.shore and Search and Rescue Operations. The Hawkeye crew uses the radar to look beyond the Earth ' s horizon to deny the enemy their most valuable asset.. .surpri.se. Equipped with the latest state-of-the- art systems, the E-2C provides detection and tracking over land and water with simultaneous surveillance of air and surface traffic. The E-2C can track more than 32,000 separate air and surface targets. It can then send these targets via data link to surface command centers or the carrier ' s Combat Detection Center, thus giving the Battle Group Commander the most complete, up-to-the-minute picture possible for the theater of operation. In the squadron ' s twenty two year history, VAW- 1 1 7 has received many awards for its outstanding ability to get the job done including being a six time winner of the Battle E Excellence Award, the Secretary of Defense Maintenance Award, three time winner o f the AEW Excellence Award, Grampaw Pettibone, Safety S , Energy Conservation Award, and the Commander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet ' s Price Fighter Excellence award. The Officers, men and women of ' VAW- 117 continue to strive for excellence and eagerly face all challenges that may lie ahead. VAW-1 17 LCDR K R.

Johanson Executive Officer Sea Control Squadron 29, homeported at Naval Air Station North Island California, has over forty officers, two hundred enlisted and eight S-3B Viking aircraft based aboard USS KITTY HAWK. The Hoover was originally designed to conduct undersea warfare, but the mission of the S-3B varies greatly with needs of the task group and Air Wing. Aerial refueling, surface search and electronic surveillance are the typical missions the Dragonfires performed routinely in the Arabian Gulf. During cruise the Dragonfires passed well over a million pounds of gas to Air Wing aircraft and used their Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar ( IS AR) to locate, identify and track ships far from the KITTY HAWK Task Group VS-29 LCDR D P Cheney LCDR R H Furrell LCDR P P Hiinl LCDR M P McM.ili(.n LCDR T J Thaler LCDR M A.
