Designed during the holocaust of World War, built to be a fighter, the LEYTE Was born into a World of shaky peace. A 33,000 ton ship built for War saw her birth in a World that hoped it had seen the end of War. Yet, With the coming of peace, came new challenges to peace. The LEYTE lived to face the changing threats of changing World, and did so with pride in her name as the LEADING LEYTE, for so she had come to be called. Now her sailing days are through. The LEYTE rests. ? l 1 1 1 a i'Rest -this is a new Word to the vocab Many sailing men have said that ships have their ovvn. The NLEADING LEYTEH had 0 Ways on the go.

Keeping the world at peace proved to be too much of a j ob, even for the LEYTE. A small coun- try called Korea loomed in the forefront of World news. The LEYTE's mission was changed. Now her job was a weapon of attack, launching planes to rip with shells the muddy ground of a new aggressor. Again the LEYTE did her job Q the only way she knew. Again she was the LEADING LEYTE with a record including the most continuous days of at sea opera- tions in the Korean war and serving as the home of the plane credited with destroying the first Russian MIG aircraft of the war.

Organization, planning, material . , Another essential ingredient to the suc- cessful operation of an Anti-Submarine Force is the state of training and compe- tence of the person- nel Who man the ships and aircraft of the fleet. Continued maintenance, com- munications, con- stant operations, training and educa- tion are all ingredi- ents that are utilized to forge the Task Group to make it a capable, efficient unit of the Antisulomarine Defense Forces. Operational readiness at all times, is a main key to ASW. The Navy's prime submarine iight- er, the Gruman S2F Tracker is virtually a flying ear as Well as a deadly killer. Flight crews Work around the clock to keep her in air- borne readiness. device it is able to main- tain contact, track and if the opportunity per- mits, attack the subma- rine. The HSS-1 helicopter plays a very vital role in ASW. Primarily recog- nized during operations by its dunking gear, it serves in many capac- ities from plane guard on launch and- recovery op-erations, to the ASW tactics of hovering above the Water dipping its sonar ball.

Walters' T' atson Rogers W. smart' W' TN TA TN SN' SD1 END OF THE LINE The passing of the LEYTE, without fanfare or adieu, Brings to an end a valiant warrior and dispersal of her crew. Ubiquitous is the word that really tells her story, As the omnipresent carrier, she wrote her name in glory. Too late to join the fleet that came to stay , She missed the surrender at Tokyo Bay. Peacetime brought about a period of re-newed unrest, With the LEYTE joining her sisters among the SIXTH FLEET'S best Hostilities in Korea found the LEYTE in the Med, Orders to WestPac brought steaming Full Ahead. . Fro-m the deck of the LEADING LEYTE, CAG-3 launched their loads Disrupting enemy movementsg denying them use of their roads. The only carrier in Korea, where a Medal of Honor was won, By LT. George Hudner, this gallant deed was done. Reward for her action was a Presidential Unit Citation Awarded by the President of a most grateful nation. Now back to Rhode Island and then the SIXTH FLEET, For she still had her commitments with NATO to meet. The obsolescence of jeep carriers in late fifty-three, Brought about LEYTE'S conversion for war under the sea. Unfriendly buildeup in subs meant setting up- a barrier To man it, the Navy selected their very best carrier. An explosion in Boston killed thirty-nine of her crew, A sad setback, indeed, then work started anew. Meeting all commitments, displaying zeal and zest She typified the Can-Do ship, among the Nav 's be t. y s She put in a lot more steaming than any ship of her class Whether 't b t 1 e ver ical envelopement, or pinging , for top Navy brass With th ' 'f ' ' e awarding of the coveted Navy E , she closed out a brilliant career She has set course for Valhallag man-of-warsman without peer. It is an ignominious end for this gallant gray ghost, However, when needed, she'll be there first with the most! y ED HOLDEN AKC 1 I w hs Z NWX ' W A ,f we K- f e f W :Z K if M2 Qf W ff V Mix Z ,zf QTY: Z O ff ' , - F :Q ,Ni Nw, Ykgj Q' X if xg 1' . f I! . r, 1 x f ,mm ww Z7 W W 1 , , N K ' I V i 2 X 5 sk ! :fi L 2 nf-VQQSYW jp xg Vkiyiifyf 51 fi is .45 z N Z K F e Z S A V4 .M J: 4 SW A gy 2 is V, n A 4 5 2 V l V x ,f M, vmrw Mew! -6... ,.,- -9 f, E At rest - a strange view of the old steamer. 2 , W AZ I x , Xnfkf -9 r ,zjZ5fg1 iii N ,K x A fi 'ee ' .. ,e, N TQ Q' -fi?
