SHIPS LOG 29 September 1977 saw AMERICA leaving Norfolk for her sixth Mediterranean deployment. The cruise included intensive flight operations, participation in the annual NATO National Week XXI fleet exercises and port visits to Italy, Spain, and Yugoslavia. AMERICA returned to her Norfolk homeport in late April 1978. AMERICA again embarked Carrier Air Wing Eleven, a west coast air wing, and departed Norfolk on her tenth extend- ed deployment in March of 1979. She conducted operations with assets of the Sixth Fleet and NATO, and returned to Nor- folk in September 1979. The AMERICA conducted initial carrier qualifications for the F A-18 Hornet before entering the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for one year. In November 1980, AMERICA commenced preparations for deployment. Preparations included serving as the Flagship for READEX 1-81 conducted in the Puerto Rican Op area. After a successful Operational Readiness Exam and becoming the First carrier to pass Operational Propulsion Plant Ex- amination in recent years, AMERICA stood down before a deployment that would include Atlantic, Mediterranean and Indian Ocean Operations. • Mii Atneric 18
