This is the record of the USS JOHN F. KEN NED Y's third Mediterranean cruise. It is also the odyssey of an idea - a spirit - that is associated with a man who was named John Kennedy. It has been five years since the JFK was commissioned in Newport News, Virginia, and it has been nearly 30 gears since a young Navy lieutenant won fame for his actions in t e Solomon Islands. A lot has happened since then. But in a way, some important things have remained the same: for instance, wherever the JFK sails, people associate the ship and its men with John Kennedy and what they think he stood for. One of the things that John Kennedy stood for was the young people of the United States and, indeed, the youth of the world. generation that saw him live and die sails today aboard ENNEDY. This time, they left Norfolk in December. People were sad, some of them, for the same reasons that people are always sad when a ship goes to sea, to leave home and family seemed bad and in a way it was. But the peotpeles of the Mediterranean - Greek, Spanish, Italian - reminded t crew of the JFK that we are all part of a larger family and that we are all truly in the boat together. This is the story of young men working hard and havinilsome fun. This is not all of the story, but some of it as they tell it. aybe the spirit stands out. . .

We provide detailed weather forecasts Lor the air wing on a routine basis as well as providing the tas group in company with forecasts. We 'get weather information via facsimile and radioteletyge as wel as weather satellite transmissions KESSA 83 whic encompass over half of the northern hemisphere. I wor along with another First Class as a duty forecaster on a port and starboard watch bill which is continued in port as well because the NAVWEASERVICE Command requires continuous weather services overseas on a 24 hour-a-day basis. In port, wind and sea forecasts are of prime importance for boating conditions and any adverse weather conditions which might affect the ship's unctions. We are required to take upper air observations utilizing a balloon-borne sensing apparatus which transmits atmospheric temperatures from the surface to almost 1 00,000 feet, as well as taking hourly surface weather observations. I am a graduate of the NATTC Aerogrlaphers Mate's class A, B, and C schools located at Lakehurst, ew Jersey. Exgzaerience makes or breaks you in this iob, and the more you ve the better off you are. It is a very interesting and challenging field and does offer some retirement iob opportunities suc as a TV weather man, civil service, and oceanography. The Metro office is located in the island on the 06 level where, unlike most spaces, we enjoy two portholes. Our motto is: When I'm right, nobody remembers-When I'm wrong, nobody forgets. Howard A.

It is made up of all Air Controlmen. To some people mi division may not seem very important. But without it, the ir Wing would not be able to fly in bad weather orat mg t. The Air Controlmen of the division dgive the pilots of the aircraft precise information to get on the eck safely. We take care of almost everything related to the aircraft from the moment it takes off till the moment it sets down on the deck. The ATO C Air Transfer Officerj is also a part of our division. He and his assistant take care of the COD KC-1A aircraftj and its crew. They take care of the COD's passengers and the cargo and mail it carries. I really like working in my division, even though sometime thin s get very hecnc and the pressures mount up. Without an OC iivision, though, no carrier would be able to perform its mission. Bernard J. Lopretto AN OC Division M cKeesport, Pennsylvania f , w ...-Q-I, .4 - A . 3 'ski 5 F' Q Llfj.. Ol OI Division is composed of the Radarmen aboard USS JOHN F. KENNEDY. The primargz function is to gather information of all airnsurface, and su -surface contacts within our radar ca abilities and also through intelligence reports. All of our in ormation is gathered in the Combat Information Center I ICJ, and the Commanding Officer's Tactical Plot ICOTPJ. CIC is broken down into five modules: C1 I. Decision and Display CDEJDJ: The heart of CIC in which decisions are made concerning the dleiployment of shi s weapons K both combat air patrol aircraft a ships missilesg. Displays surrounding DEQD to 've CIC Evaluator information on all air, surface, and sub-surface contacts known to us. From these displays the Evaluator can make his decisions. C22 Air Warfare: This module is manned by Air Intercegg Controllers. They are responsible for the inflight control of t KENNEDY aircraft, mainly controlling Phantom air to air intercepts. The typle of air control is based on the type of aircraft and mission in w ich the aircraft is engaiged. In general, five different types of control can be used, 1. ir Intercept Control, 2. Strike Control, 3. Anti-Submarine Warfare Control, 4. Airborne Early Warning Control, 5. Search and Rescue. G32 Detection and Tracking IDEQTJ: This module involves detecting and tracking aircraft. As the name implies, their purpose is to detect, identify, and track all air contacts. Being part of the CIC team, they supply DEGD with the vital information they need to evaluate and act upon the air picture. 142 Surface Module: This module is responsible for the information of all ships in the operating area. The information consists of determimn courses and speeds, closest point of approach, and identification of these contacts. Surface is primarily interested in the safemaneuver of the ship. f5f Electronic Warfare CEWJ: This module can locate and identify shigs and aircraft by analyzing intercepted electronic radiations. W also uses electronic emissions in defense of the ship against hostile threats. The Commanding Officer's Tactical Plot KCOTPJ keeps the C.O. informed on the status of the air, surface, and sub-surface picture. COTP also assists the Bridge Team in solving solutions involving the maneuverability of the ship. Peter J. Martin RD 3 OI Division Hartford, Connecticut Ili fs 'if F .Da-...Q OP The photcligrcgzhic COPQ Division maintains two facilities on board N DY. The aviation photo lab for the production of historic, documentary, audio visual and routine personnel photography, and the IOIC photo processing section for the processing of reconnaissance and intelligence photography. Through the collective efforts of the Photographer's Mates aboard KENNEDY, virtually any photographic task can be performed, including ground and aerial, still and motion picture photography in either black and white or color. The Photo Lab, officiallg designated as OP Division, is a division of the Operations epartment, with a chain of command which flows from the Photographic Officer through the Intelligence Officer to the Operations Officer. The iob of PH3 Dale J ones is a typical example of the routine a JFK photographer can expect. etty Officer Jones' primarg assignment is in the photo processing section of the ship's I OI . There his duties involve the processing and duplication of the aeral reconnaissance film taken by the embarked photo squadron. He is also an aerial photographer in his own right, with the added responsibility of o taining photographs of intelligence and P O subjects from helicopters. P 3 Jones occasionally finds himself on the business end of a motion picture camera, covering events ranging from high-speed tests of catapult equipment to the reaction of the guests on a dependent's cruise. An one aboard who has ever had a portrait taken in the Photo Labis portrait studio has become a vergr familiar face to PH2 George Lloyd. Lloiyed is responsi le for shooting all assignments outside t laboratory, and is charged wit the never -ending iob of maintaining the ship's official roster boards and roster books. Petty Officer Lloyd's day is never the same. He may be called upon to shoot pictures of visiting dignitaries and beauty queens, broken tubes inside one of our boilers, or an aircraft crunch in the hangar bay. He and his crew are often called upon to cover assignments aboard other ships or at distant locations ashore. The iobs of these two men are not unique among the Photo Mates assi ned to KENNEDY. They onay typify the services that each JEK Photo Mate strives to provi e. The KENNEDY photographers must be sailors, artists, and diplomats, but above all they must be professionals - anyway, isn't that what KENNEDY is all about.

Well let me tell you, from the voice of experience that there are quite a few pieces spread throughout the KENNEDY. Our. iob, in EC Division, is to maintain all the communication egutpment, plus some other equipment such as sonar SINS 1 hips Internal Nav1?ation Systemj, and the Television system on board KENNED . If you re not a Radioman, you probably don't hear of us or what we do very much. It's not the world s most glamorous iob! Most Electronic Techs go to the Navy's Electronic A school for 48 weeks before ever seeirzg a ship. Even then, they're not finished yet, as most attend schools on a certain piece of gear. A ' C school is a school that lasts from a very short time up to a long six months. It covers only one subiect and qualifies a person to work on that piece of gear which he went to school or. We don't really follow any set working routine, ,for we can be, and often are called to work in the wee hours o the morning. When there's a iob to do, we'll be there until it's fixed or replaced. If you're one who likes electronics, this is the place to be. My Rersonallgeelirag is that it's one of the better divisions on board ENNE Y. e'll be there long after the crowd's gone to keep up the Big John tradition. Sgphen D.

The Radar Systems oup, operating out of Electronics Shop No. 2, is composed ofETs and FTs who maintain, repair, align, test, curse and sometimes operate the ship's air search, surface search, air traffic control and navigation radars, and the ship's TACAN. The dishes on the mast are ours, as are the bedspring above the bridge, the tower aft if the island, and the reflectors attached to the 07 gallery deck. lanes would not fly without us, the Combat Information Center would be blind and the bridge would be limited to the range of lookout eyes. Without us, hostile ships and surface aircraft would be virtually undetectable, friendly ships and planes lost over the horizon. The hours are irregular. There is the boredom of waitin? for days on end as normal routine, then the feverish rou -the- clock activity needed to br-ini up a million-dollar radar brought down by what turns out to e no more than a ten cent bit of copdper and carbon. The skills re?uired are complex: mechanics, hy raulics, physics, computer ogic and several varieties of math, as well as electronics. The work is varied and demanding, anywhere from hoisting a manazthousand pound antenna to replacing an integrated circuit t size of a fingernail Still, it's one of the most rewarding iobs in the Navy. Literally, the last line of defense of the shig is the Basic Point Defense Missile System, consisting of three parrow missile and two CHAFFROC launchers. Maintaining a watch in CIC, the FTs and GM s of Point Defense man their launchers and directors whenever the ship is in danger of attack, be it around- the-clock in hostile waters and during operational exercises, or at a moment's notice when the Com at Air Patrol is launched and general quarters sounded. The hours are harsh, the work is sometimes monotonous and eling but we ensure blyzconstant vigilance that the ship can dgfelnd itself against hosti aircraft, even without the protective umbrella of Air Wing One. This, then, is ER Division - the eyes and teeth of Kennedy. Timothy N. Nagle ETR2 ER Division Cambridge, Mass. ,A Y 1 ,I 0 fi c y, A l.' A an 'H 'a'ii 'S-1 -3:2 f-1'- : T' ' lau- gh.

Our job as DS technicians is to maintain, repair, and operate digital data equipment, such as computers, peripheral. equipment, and data terminal sets. Our division is basically divided into three main groups: C12 those DS personnel working in the Automatic Data Processing IADPJ System, C22 those DS personnel workinlg in the integrated Operational Intelligence Center CIO Cl, and A232 those DS personnel working in the Naval Tactical Data ystems I N TDS 2 area. Those DS personnel working in the ADP area maintain, repair, and- olperate digital data equipment which accurately and rapid y processes data accumulated through the use of the Navy's Maintenence and Material Management C3-MJ Systems. The 3-M system processes information gathered from maintenance action notices and transforms them into permanent records, as well as compiling permanent records and current up- dates of the shipboard supply system inventories. ADP also processes our pa checks and some of the financial records for the disbursing of?ice. In the IOIC area, DS personnel maintain, repair, and operate digital data equipment which helps to process, evaluate, and store the integrated tactical intelligence supplied to naval carrier based strikin forces. This is done with the help of reconnaissance aircra DS personnel in the N TDS area maintain, repair, and operate digital data equipment which comprises part of the automated system of plotting to enable ships to keep abreast of the rapidly changin tactical situations encountered in modern naval warfare. gfhe N TDS area ties together such tasks as helping to control the ship, assigning weapons, and co-ordinating task force operations. M iob is that of a data conversion technician assigned to the N TDS branch of EDS Division I maintain, repair, and clzerate data conversion equipment which converts one type of ta to another. The iob of a DS technician is not often easy and glorified as it may seem on the surface.

Normal working hours are unheard of when working on the flight deck. We start working approximately 2 hours before the first launch and quit maybe two hours after the last recovery. Usually this turns into a 1 6 hour day. Everyone knows about the old slogan for mailmen, Neither rain, sleet nor snow. . . The same holds true for the flight deck crew. We don't particularl like to stand out in cold weather when it's raining. I doubt if, any of us can trul say we 100 per cent like our fo , but it does give a feeling ofy accomplishment knowing we are the key to the operation of an aircraft carrier. It's a known fact that they can't operate without us. With the long hours at sea, there should be plenty of liberty in port, but this is not always true. Much of our maintenance work must be done in port. You can bet that the eyes of the ship are always on us, and praise is seldom handed our way. But we find out in a hurry when things aren't running smoothly. Sometimes our solution to this is to eat a bi breakfast hoping that it will somehow make things turn out riglgt. S.P.

Then there is the elevator o erator who assures that any aircraft going to or returning fiom the flight deck is delivered securely. Directors and safetymen - better known as yellow shirts - are responsible for safe and correct handling of aircraft. Perhaps the most important peogle in the division are the Hangar Deck Officer, Chief Petty fficer and the petty officers, who make sure that each man works as art of a team. They must make sure that everything is done safgly and correctly. All the men in V-3 Division work together, usually long hours, to be ready, when they are. Stephen A. Peloquin AA V-3 Division Hugo, Minnesota P1lOTS RiSCUE f ', 1 J if GQUANGERQ cb 2 '65 V-4 The main fob of m division is to sup ly the variou ad aboard KENNEDT with fuel for theig aircraft. Thesnsicgri 01322 flight deck and the men working in the pumprooms below decks have to work together to get the job done. There are little jobs on the side like providin lube oil for V-2 and refueling the liberty boats. Also, we do allqthe degueling of aircraft and man the sponsons when bringing .IP-5 on oard. My job is to work in a fuels crew on the vfilight deck. We do the actual fueling and defuelintg of aircraft. e are up there for an average of 12 hours a day uring normal fli ht operations. The work consists of pulling a hose which ma be from 100 to 200 feet long, and hooking up to the plane to fuel it. When in places like Gitmo 1 Cuba 2 this job can be very strenuous because of the heat. Also, a part of my iob is the maintenance of fueling stations and other spaces by lots of chipping and painting. There are certain men who must spend their time working below decks in the .IP-5 pumfrooms. The hours are just as long as the flight deck crew s. heir job is filled with puriflying fuel, stripping tanks, transferring fuel and pumping fue up to the flight deck. There are also many soundings to be taken to check the amount of fuel on board. The iob is very demanding at times because of the hours. Many times, when the rest of the ship is on Holiday Routine or relaxed schedule, we are up performing our duties. one inspections add an extra burden because they may happen during a regular flight operations schedule. I like my iob. I make a little extra money every month and I know this should be in the back of my mind but it helps me get through some of the hard times. John V. Picard ABF 3 V-4 Division Superior, Wisconsin ii ,ff ml I I 1 X X Division is composed of postal clerks, personnelmen, printers, and yeomen. The main 1ob. of the division is to serve and assist the ship .in its administrative capabilities. Most of the work of the division is located in office spaces all over the ship. I am a Yeoman and work in the Captain's Office. I handle and control the classified material sent to the ship and I also control all registered mail sent to the ship addressed to the Commanding Officer. I handle most all registered mail being sent to other commands from the ship. I have a collateral duty of assisting the other office personnel in the performance of their duties as well. I work an average of about 12 to 15 hours a day. The work isn't hard but it does tend to be frustratin at times. For example, someone might brin a piece of classiged material in to me for destruction or just Ear a change of hand. I that it doesn't have a control number assigned to it and it s about four years old. This means that I have to spend a minimum of two or maybe three hours just tryinlgato locate the control sheet on it.

Actually, C Division is comprised of three sub tvisions: the Management Control and Information Center or MCIC, Automatic ata Processing or ADP, and the.DrafIting Shop. M CIC is also known as the Special Projects Office. ypical special projects include the ships cleaning bill and zone inspection coordination, battle ill training? midshiglnen training, charter flights, tours, AUTOP RS distri tion, and various other special projects for the Captain and the Executive Officer. The staff of MCIC is composed of three officers and three enlisted men. Work hours are moderate to long. Automatic Data Processing KADPJ is the computer center of the ship. It processes all supp y and 3-M accounting and acts as a service center to all departments throughout the ship. ADP is manned by one officer, seven Data Processing Technicians, and twenty non-rated personnel. The Drafting Shop performs various jobs for the Ca tain, departments, divisions, and KENNEDY personnel A few of these jobs include briefings for the Captatn's TV show, layout and design of 35mm slides, engraving, and production of signs and posters. In short, C Division sudpports the smooth operation of the KENNEDY by C1 J. un ertakmg manly of the ship's special projects, 122 providing accurate an timely computerized information to the various depgrtments and divisions on board, gnd A3118 providing some of t best drafting work in the entire ixt F et.

It must be important because it's on the 'check-in list.' Actually, PAO is just another set of letters in the abbreviated world aboard KENNEDY. It stands for the Public Affairs Office. Although I sometimes honestly wonder if the crew knows. we exist as a division, you can ask anyone about television, the BIRD FARM NEWS, or PROFILE and they'll know what you're talking about. The division of I 1 men, one of the smallest on the ship, is divided into two main sections: television and publications. We are the Establishment's media, as it were, providin internal and worldwide information. Our iob is to be informative and entertaining. Our best known products, television and radio, comgrise the largest and best-equipged system afloat in the avy. It functions as a station oes back home - providing news, stateside TV shows, movies and sports events. We program an average of 13 hours daily as well as produce special programs. Television is a true luxury. Alfter servin aboard a smaller ship, I can personally say it beats ooking at four walls after you get off work. TV also serves as a training media reachingjnto almost every livin compartment. In this respect, we air avy training films, brieings, and port information programs. But television is only half our electronic media. PAO maintains a four-channel radio station which broadcasts round-the-clock. Staffed by volunteer disc jockeys from various divisions, it ogers al' wide variety of sounds, ranging from acid rock to c sstca The publications section of the division produces the written materiaL The BIRD FARM NE WS, the ship's daily newspaper: PROFILE, a 28-page magazine: the Cruise Book: port book lets: and a variety of pamphlets describing the function and services of the carrier - these are some of our products. This is where I fit in. I 'm the editor of PROFILE and design most of the ship's pamphlets. Our iob is not really hard, like most aboard this gray giant, but it often seems long and endless.

What we have is a small, ex-tremely modern and efficient hospital-at-sea. We have everything necessary to see that each crewmember aboard gets the very best medical aid available when it is needed. Besides sick bay, which everybody has encountered at one time or another, we are equipped with complete surgical facilities, X- ray facilities, laboratory, physio-therapy treatment facilities, and supply shops. My assignment with the Medical Department is working in routine sick call. My job is screening patients reportin for sick call. This saves the doctors valua le time, as not alfpatients need to see a doctor. I have a fun iob. I like it mainly for one reason, it gives me an opportunity to try and help people in need.

This is where all the vital functions of the ship originate - electricity for the lights to burn, and steam for the screws to turn. We a so supply steam to launch planes, cook food, wash the laundry, and we even blow the ship s whistle. Our normal working day lasts from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon.

In any space, at any time of day or night you may find us. Something doesn't work ? Chances are, the first people you call are R Division personnel We probably hear as many people's problems as the chaplain. The. main reason for this is the versatility of the shops in R Division. We work with everything from pine and plywood to 6,000 pound test pipes. We fill carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, make picture frames, fix leaky pipes, pump fog foam and run through thousands of pop rivets. Then comes duty. Our security patrols are responsible for watertight integrity and reporting fire hazards from the second eck down. t almost seems axiomatic that anytime somebody does something, we stand a watch over it. Re-fueling, re-arming and flight quarters all mean extra watches for us. Fire drills, general quarters drills, and rescue details are just a few of the duties we have in port and at sea. Of course, we don't always work. The amazin thing is that we don't get tired of making things. The number ogproiects that are going in our spare time is surprising. We make everything from yewe boxes to traction bars. We work every day of the week, Sundays, holidays-everyday. Believe me, the whole ship needs R Division. Al Carruth HM T3 R Division Millis, Massachusetts 42 :Xml HB HB Division originated because there was a need for better living conditions aboard KENNEDY. Just a few of the items that concern HB are bunk curtains, doors, and electrical trouble calls. We provide instantaneous response to any such trouble call Naturally, this sometimes involves long hours but it is all worth it to us, and to the crew. HB consists mostly of Sh'fpfitters and electricians who are 1155 Itlrgqined in their field. herefore, every man does his iob It should be pointed out that our division was organized with the encouragement and cooperation of the Captain of KENNEDY as well as the Executive Officer.

Our message relay station takes care of business and provides our .working men with rapid personal communication with families and friends in emergencies and on those special occasions. Our fob is not particularly hard, but it is demandin . There are necessary standards to adhere to because that's tlge nature of communication. What good is a messa e when nobody knows what it slaiys? And when you consider that the message has traveled hu reds or thousands of miles through storms and who knows what, the very fact that the system works is remarkable. Our Communications Department dmends on the teamwork on communicators throughout the wor Some of us work wit radio signals, with transmitters and receivers, to keep the lines open. Some are typists, circuit otflerators, and message handlers who operate a system as comp te as a Western Union office. Then there is the communicating that is done right here among our own forces, among the planes and ships which are only as far apart as horizon to horizon. Every plane must be able to. talk to the ship. That's where my iob comes in. I 'm the gluy that sits in one ol those spaces that nobody knows exists. hat do I do? Usua ly nothing. It's an art to do nothing for twelve hours. But I'm ready. What happens when there's a plane buzzing around and all of a sudden he's not talking to anybody but his rabbit's foot? He needs a little help 'cause somet ing fust happened to something somewhere. If he needs a new radio, I'm here to help him. Our operators are constantly feeling like the who's about to see a great pass into the end zone when his V set. starts to smoke: the equipment we work with can be frustrating.

Florida 9 X f X Al CS CS is a small difvisionof 23 men, including our petty officers and chiefs. Our main fob is to send and receifue 'visual traffic. But we also report to the Officer of the Deck all surface contacts. When not on an .actual deployment we do not have a really large amount of traffic, but once a cruise begins our work increases greatly. My iob, and really thejob of each man in the di-vision, is to be able to send and recewe messa es by any of three methods: flashing light, semaphore, or gag hoist. We stand 24 hour watches in port and at sea. Our work area is up about as high as you normally go on the ship. From our perch on the island we are able to see in ang direction. Now, a lot of peoiple think it would be nice to wor where there is plenty of fres air and sunshine. And it is. Except when it's raining or snowing or real cold. I think most of us like our iob, though. Qur chiefs, difvision officer and petty officers all help us quite a bit. In a way, the Signalman rate is hard to learn and unless you really want to learn it, you'll nefver be able to tell a dit from a dah . . . much less be able to make a word out of them. Then there are 62 different flags to learn, plus learning the letters of the alphabet in semaphore. I would say that most of us want to learn the rate though, because the guys that were learning last year, are doing it t is year. Lonnie Ray Miner SM SN CS Difvision Ozark, Arkansas --.-.1-'L 4 I 1 f f f XJ ANI AM Division's primargiyl function is to supply the Air Wing with missiles 24 hours a. y. It also supplies Point Defense with missiles for the missile launchers. Our division is separated into three basic crews: 111 the Magazine crew, C22 the Hangar Deck crew, and 132 the Flight Deck crew. The magazine crew is the heart of our division. The stow, build- irip, and send the missiles from the magazines to the hangar deck. hey also. test these missiles prior to sending them up to assure that the missiles are operative. The hangar deck crew is somewhat like a mediator between the magazines and the flight deck. They make sure that the missiles reach the flight deck on time. Thelialso have the responsibility of charging nitrogen bottles for t A7 Corsair launchers used to launch t e missiles from the aircraft. The flight deck is the ultimate destination for the missiles. This is the place where I work. Our iob is to make sure that the sggadrons get the missiles and everything necessary to make t m fire. have the responsibility of keeping a og of the number of fli hts that the missiles make. In addition, each of us on the flight ich must know where each missile is located. This is just a small portion of what AM Division actually does. Each man in the division has a iob to do and you can be sure that he knows how to do it. Terrance L. Hayes AO-3 AM Division Mobile, Alabama CLASSIFIED W Perhaps about the only thing that could be said about my di'vis1on's work is that there really isn't much that I can say about it. As for a general description, W Division is responsible for the handling and maintenance of ordance in the magazines and on the hangar deck. We usually work an eight hour .day except when we have special weapons-handling exercises when we might easily work all night and into the next day. Because of the way that the sanity rules are enforced, it's seldom that we do somethiniat t we ha'ven't done before. Therefore, there are times t t I find the fob tedious and uninteresting.

Z v K i i 3 i E i G Division is a highly trained group of men working in the field of ammunition handling and storage. We are responsible for the supplying all squadrons onboard KENNEDY with the necessary conventional ordnance that is necessary to insure that we remain a trained and ready attack carrier. It is not unusual for anyone in G division to work extremely long hours while the ship is at sea. And naturally, the more flying the air wing does, the more hours we put in assembling and transpornnlg ordnance to the flight deck, and finally, onto the aircraft itse f. At times the work can become very hard and tiresome, yet it pays to stay awake and pay close attention to the details of what you're doing. When your working with ordnance, although every possible precaution is taken in the interest. even the smallest mistake could be disastrous. My division works in almost every area of the ship. The division spaces could be divided into a magazine crew which would inc ude those of us workiniprimarily in the magazines and on the 2nd deck, a hangar ck crew, and a flig t deck crew. Below decks is where most of the ordnance assembly takes place. It is here that ordnance is placed on carrialggs and racks in order that it can be carried by the aircraft. T crew working in these spaces is also responsible for the storage of all ammunition. The hangar deck crew receives the assembled ordnance and assures that it reaches the flight deck when and where it is needed. Once on the flight deck, the last step of placing the necessary ordnance on the aircraft is performed. Once this is done, it is done again, and again . . . I know that there are better iobs, but a lot worse too. We're usually overworked and undermanned, which I suppose makes us just about like everyone else. Kenneth R.

The three principle men in First Division that see that thixfs are running according to schedule are BM1 Whitfield, B C Hallowell, and LTI G arrott, our Division Officer. Since I am the Yeoman in the division, I am involved either directly or indirectly with all tasks performed by the division. In summary, in m own oginion, Kennedly couldn't keep ug its great name for PHECISI N and DEPE DABILITY wit out the assistance of First Division. Larry J.

X 1 1' ' 2nd To briefly sum up the functions of 2nd Division, I'll start by giving you an idea of what iobs we do. During. the course of the day our division is primarily responsible aor the cleanliness of all spaces to which they are assigned. e are also responsible for the upkeeg and maintenance of all gear which is used for replenishment y our division. We are ca led upon to 'get up at all hours W the day to man refueling and replenis ment stations. e are also responsible for the Zuarterdeck and accomodation ladder at deck house 2, whic is used when we are anchored. When anchored we rig and man the yard and stay , which is used when we bring stores aboard. We are often required to work for many hours a day during import periods tn order to bring these stores aboard and to keep the quarterdeck area and accommodation ladder clean for the Captain and other officers on board.

L i 1 L E .J fi If 'fi ji, fi:Q r Q! 88 3rd .3rd Division, when observed ug closely, will be found to be an important asset to KENN DY. oremost among the responsibilities of 3rd Division is the Destro er refueling station number seven, which might well be calledy the umbilical cord of life to our destroyer escorts. Second on the list is receiving station number five, where Navy distillate fuel and JP5 aircraft E121 are taken on. Third is the Burton rig, which enables KE NEDY to take on stores and other needed materials at sea. This rig makes KENNEDY almost independent of sea ports. Fourth on the list, but sure? just as important as any other piece yoj equipment on KENN DY are the two ship's incinerators. ithout them, classified material would have to be stored until such a time as it could be destroyed without entailing a security risk. In addition, they gvlay an important part in the preservation of our. ecology. here are few worse sights than a ship leaving a trail of trash in its wake. Fifth, but certainly very important to a lot of sailors aboard KENNEDY, is the accommodation ladder number three. This ladder takes high priorit when liberty call is passed. 3rd Division is also in char e ofy boat boom three, which allows the ship's boats to secure for short period of time in order that maintenance can be performed and the crews- can take a brief rest. 3rd Division also supplies men for the Bridge team.

SA R.H. Lesher is one of the operators of our crane which handles the launching of the ship's liberty boats. Durinieiinderway steaming 4th Division has one bridge team, and ot watches all over the ship are manned 24 hours a day. We are responsible for streaming the twin-float target tow and retrieving it when ordered by the bridge. During underway refuelilrig we man several special rigs and replenishment stations. S C.N. Sampson, our gear locker man, is responsible for all the gear that is needed to meet these committments. . Also, 4th Division has 35 interior cleaning and maintenance assignments to work on. These keep us all busy. As you see, 4th Division assignments are numerous and varied. Our contribution to the workof the Deck Department helps toward the overall operating efficiency of the ship.

While in our homeport we ,provide transportation by providing trucks and drivers for of :cial use. Every man in the division must be prepared to take over the iob of any other man if an emergency arises. I am a Coxswain under instruction and at the same time a Bow Hook on the boats. When in the states I act as a dispatcher. We work in shifts of 24 hours on and 24 off. Now you may not work a full 24 hours, but 'Lou are still obligated to a 24 hour duty status. This is only w n we are deployed. In homeport we work a regular day. Our iob centers on the boats, keeping them in shape. We also help other deck divisions when necessary. For example: helping in refueling, replenishment and Hi-lining. On the whole, it's not a bad iob. Some days you might have very little time to complete something of importance and the work load can get rett heavy. Other days it s not bad at all. If you pace yourself, andy try to keep ahead of things you can generally manage everything with no trouble. The division could not be run the way it is without. the help of petty officers who are well trained within their 1obs, and a division officer who helps smooth out any groblems which mi ht occur. The ship's First Lieutenenat and oatswain see to it tint all deck divisions keep their standards up to par. I'm one who is proud to be in the Deck Department aboard KENNEDY. Clinton S.

S-1 S-1 Division has the responsibility of keeping KENNEDY and he? Ulffwmg 111 fig' Operating condition at all times by supplying er an all the divisions on board with the necessities required to function properly. In order for the division to run smoothly and effectively it takes a vast amount of time and effort from each one of the 1 10 Ogicers and enlisted men assigned The division is divided into t ee firimary sections which include the Stock Control branch, Supp y Control Center, and the Materials branch. The Control branch has the responstbilit of maintaining computerized stock records o aviation a general stores material carried aboard KEN Various tasks such as processing hundreds of requisitions, filing thousands of receipts, daily correspondence with nation-wide supplying activities financial mana ement of KENNEDY's operatin funds, and the updating o records and reports requires tota cooperation from all hands. Providing assistance in obtainin material from ships stock and other suppl centers is hangled by the Supply Support Center. They a' other divisions and squadrons in determining the cost, allowance, location and other information about various items. They aLso maintain a ready source of repair parts to be used in the maintenance of aircraft. When certain aircraft are in urgent need of parts, this section provides fast procurement of valuable components to obtain a vital readiness status. The Material branch has the iob of operating some 75 storerooms which carry over 200,000 line items for the support of the ship and the air wing. In addition to these spaces they are r uired to manage a small storeroom stocktng.of over saooeg aviation and general stores items and one engine storeroom capable of holding up to 20 aircraft engines weighing about 7,800 pounds each. Another important area is the receipt of all aviation and stores items, direct turnover to the divisions and air wing, and handling of supplies being off loaded from the ship. The combined efforts of all three units through expert leadership, knowledge and the willingess to work 'lon status that is expected of KENNED Y and he' New PaulJ Huonker S 1 Division Elmira New York strenuous hours have contributed greatly to matnidlfl 152 R. E I A S-2 I am a commissaryman, better known as a cook. At any rate, it all depends, the yob can be either hard or easy. At times it can be quite horrendous. At sea the hours we work are long. The 'personnel in the aft gallery work 12 hours and are off 12 ours. I know that the rest of the stip work more or less hours but .greaking for myself and the rest of the members of S-2 ivision-we have igpretty hard. We have iust so much time in between each meaL know that we can't produce everything that everyone wants or likes, but we do our best. I also know that there can be improvements. You see, we have to make each product with whatever provisions we have on hand, no matter how large or small the item might be. You can understand how problems arise at times. S-2 is a ver close-knit division, as much .so as any other division on tab ship. You have to get along with the other guy or nothing gets done. When you're serving the meal, it is better My division runs both the fore and aft galleys, which on this shi , is a lot of territory to cover. Out at sea,-when both gagerys are open, the work for S-2 never stops, or it seems that way at least. As for my job, like any other I guess, it's all right, but could be better.

We stand regular duty status just as the rest of the ship does. The work that do is, for me at least, fairly easy. S-3 Division personnel are located throughout the ship. Their duties are performed above decks as well as below. So far, my iob seems to be working out well. Before entering the Navy, my work was closely related to what I 'm doing now. would definitely sa that I do like m iob. Any place that a person works they lsiave their share o complaints and gripes, so, weighing all the different factors I ind that this iob suits me pretty welL I've found out one thing working close to officers besides: they're human beings too. Randall J. Frokenbrock S-3 Division Sioux Rapids, Iowa 1. .f nl S-4 You might call S-4 division the most important division on the entire s ip. If you haggjzn to consider mone to be important. It's sort of like the K NEDY Fort Knox. lx other words, it's where your money comes from. We are the guys that make sure you get that little green check every two weeks. But there's a lot more that we do besuies. We are also responsible to insure that everyone else that you want to get a slice of your hard earned get it. Disbursing keeps congplete records of allotments that many men aboard KE NED Y rate, besides their regular pay. Like any large bank we have mountains of cozlndputation and paper work to account for all the business we le. Although the system is rather comtplicated we surprisingly make very very dfew mistakes and tn is is at least one reason that I am prou to work for S-4 division. All in all, I consider my work here as good experience and I like the people I work with. Paul F.

NIARDET The Marine Detachment serves three main unctions alon with many others, on KENNEDY. The three, most importang are C12 to form .the nucleus og a landin party, KZJ to provide internal security for the s ip, and 532 to conduct honor ceremonies when required. Now, let's go over these things again and see just how hard they are. First, forming the nucleus of a landiig party: Here we must always be ready to make a landing on a moment's notice in any foreign land that threatens the peace and well-being of the nited States. We are schooled by our own personnel constantly about new and better techniques of doing this. We constantly train in the classroom and with actual weapons for this mission. We also nction as security guards giving 24 hour guard of all securifgr posts, including the brig. As for our third and final important function, we stand honors for all dignataries and all personnel the ship's Command sees fit to honor. These honors consist of long hard hours of preparation. Now you can see that we have demanding and difficuffeioibs. Sometimes we cannot enioy some of the pleasures that t s. IP has every so often, but ours is a challenging and rewarding experience. We know we have a purpose and a great responsibility. J.A. Merkel Marine Detachment Allentown, Pa.

Since that time the squadron has flown 20 different types of aircraft. had its designation changed twelve times, has operated from 16 aircraft carriers, plus several battleships and cruisers, and has been under the command of 43 Naval Aviators. The Tophatters were the second to qualify on the first United States aircraft carrier, LANG LEY lCV-1 l, in 1926, During this qulaifying period they established the race track traffic pattern that is still used today and set a record for that era of 127 carrier landings in a single day. In 1949 they received their current designation as VF-14 with an all-weather intercept mission. On January 10, 1966, VF-14 moved its home to U.S, Naval Air Station, Oceana.

Then in 1956, VA-72 became the first squadron to fly the Douglas A4A. The Douglas Aircraft Company adopted the squadron's nickname, Skyhawk for their new aircraft, and to avoid confusion the squadron changed its name to the Blue Hawks. The Blue Hawks participated in the initial shakedown cruise of USS INDEPENDENCE in April 1959, and with that crusie a long and distinguished association with the Big l began. September of 1969 to January of 1970 were spent attached to VA-174 while the squadron transitioned to the A7B Corsair ll.

In April of 1967, VAW-12 was elevated to the status of a wing composed of eight squadrons, one of which became VAW- 125. The initial sea deployment of the squadron was to the Caribbean with Carrier Air Wing THREE aboard USS SARATOGA.

The JFK is an arena containing a thousand acts, most of them more serious than a lion tamer's. But if the job is often deadly serious, men maintain a remarkable harmony of hard work and hard play. The following picture essay shows only a small sample of the hard knocks and the human instincts that survive throughout the crusie of an aircraft carrier. What makes a man who is knocked out of the ring climb back in? Why do men face the roaring maws of monster jets day in, day out? Why? Who knows. Maybe it's responsibility, sometimes called duty. And even love. 'f- ' ' -.V---1--v --v..-mv A -.... , fmt..- 44 I I I I Il Q 1 I I . .

HERE and THERE More than 1,000 KENNEDY families were reunited February 24 when the ship hosted its mid-cruise Dependents' Charter Flight in Athens. Two flights of wives, children, and parents arrived at Athens International Airport to their waiting servicemen. Their return seats were filled by more than 500 sailors heading back to the States for a two-week vacation with their families. One sailor called the day the longest in history while awaiting his wife's arrival in Athens. From the airport, couples boarded special buses for pre-arranged hotel accomodations. Special dinner parties and tours were conducted by the ship during the dependents' visit. +5 iq, 1 1 Q54 591 - ' 1 52. 5 is 9' Ek. F , .,.,.f- -Q-v-f' ki 9 .-. ,, I I - !

The gateway city of Greece is a city of contrasts: from the Parthenon to the Plaka, the Greek way was always paved with sights of the old and the new. The city was near frequently-visited sites such as Mycenae, Corinth, Delphi and the Parnassus. KENNEDY spent more time in Athens than in any other port, and most men found something new and interesting on each visit. 1' if gf' v' .

All the nearby towns-Golfe Juan, Juan-les-Pins, Antibes-welcomed KENNEDY men. But Cannes was the capital of the Riviera. Jane Fonda was there. So were Peter Ustinov, Fredrico Fellini, and Susanna York. ln protest to an alleged male chauvinist movie poster, the local starlets went topless one day: a Frenchman won the Grand Prix which seemed only right: and after seeing many sights, KENNEDY sailed for her last port. 4 an rf?
