5 SEPTEMBER 1945 . . . A sleek, new Essex class carrier was launched at the Bethle- hem Steel Corporation's shipyard and christened USS PHILIPPINE SEA. Although construction was completed too late to participate in World War II, the years it following completion were devoted to many noteworthy and outstanding accomplishments. 29 JANUARY 1947 . . . Rear Admiral Byrd and his party were flown from the ship to begin a historic exploration of Little America.
