On 10 April, 1970, AMERICA and Air Wing Nine departed Norfolk for a second Western Pacific deployment. Upon her arrival in Subic Bay, Republic of the Philippines, the 77,000 ton carrier became flagship for the Seventh Fleet Attack Carrier Striking Force. She then began operating on Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin, where she launched strike missions over Southeast Asia. One significant bombing sor- ' tie resulted in destruction of the Thanh Hoa bridge, a vital link in the Viet Cong supply line from North Vietnam. For this superb wartime performance, both AMERICA and Air Wing Nine were awarded the Meritorious Unit Commenda- tion. In July, 1971, after a six month overhaul, upkeep and training period, AMERICA left Norfolk for a third Mediterra- nean deployment. A particular emphasis of this cruise was joint operations with allied navies. These exercises were particularly successful and the ship ' s aircraft safety record was accident-free. AMERICA returned in December, 1971 and six months later was en route to her third combat deployment to South- east Asia. She was one of the four aircraft carriers on Yan- kee 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 Com- mendation during this cruise. After a maintenance, upkeep and pre-deployment period, AMERICA sailed on her fourth deployment to the Mediterra- nean in early January, 1974. The ship was delayed from returning due to the deteriorating political situation on Cy- prus. She finally arrived in Norfolk on 3 August, 1974, after completing more than 8,600 launches without an accident.
