Ship ' s log AMERICA returned in December 1971 and six months later was enroute to her third combat deployment to Southeast Asia. She was one of four aircraft carriers on Yankee Station the day that the Viet Nam Peace Agreement went into effect. AMERICA returned to Norfolk on 24 March 1973, within one week of the final prisoner of war release and after nearly 300 days away from homeport. AMERICA was awarded her second Meritorious Unit Commendation during this cruise. After a three-month maintenance and upkeep period, AMERICA sailed on her fourth deployment to the Mediterra- nean in early July. The ship was delayed from returning due to the deteriorating situation in Cyprus. She finally arrived in Norfolk on 3 August after completing more than 8,600 launches without an accident. top: AMERICA operations off Vietnam, 1968 lop right: Crossing the line festivities, 1968 bottom: AMERICA greeting Sydney, Australia, 1968 bottom right: AMERICA preparing to launch, 1968 14

SHIP ' S LOG After a brief period of leave and upkeep in Norfolk, AMERICA returned to sea on 6 September 1974 to par- ticipate in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) exercise Northern Merger . Naval and shore units from nine of the NATO countries participated in the two-week exercises which included a port visit to Portsmouth, England. Following an 11-month shipyard period AMERICA em- barked on her fifth Mediterranean deployment on 15 April 1976. An early accomplishment of this deployment was the aid provided by the ship in the evacuation of American and foreign nationals during the civil conflict in Lebanon. Returning from this deployment in October, 1976, AMERICA rejoined the fleet after a three-month shipyard period in Portsmouth, Virginia. On 10 June 1977, the ship led a five-ship task group that deployed to South America. During this five-week period, AMERICA and other ships of the task group conducted exer- cises with units of the Brazilian Navy. This marked the first time in history that Brazilian aircraft operated from the deck of an American carrier. 1 , f top: AMERICA ' S first wedding; Capt. Mrs. T.W.
