Skirmishes with the British had been fought, but colonial forces were seldom united and victories were few and far between. This situation, however, was soon to change. It was a dark night as 900 farmers ascended Breed 's Hill in Charlestown, Massachusetts. Un- der the unsuspecting eyes of the British Royal Navy anchored in the harbor below, the colo- nials dug up the rocky New England soil through the night and nearly completed an earthen re- doubt as daylight began to Hlter over Boston Harbor. The sun had not broken the Eastern horizon for Hve minutes when the much surprised British Navy realized what had transpired during the night. Immediately, cannon fire was directed upon the fortiHed Breed 's Hill and Redcoat Troops appeared at its foot. As the King's soldiers stormed towards the courageous band of patriots, an order was shouted out by the band's leader, Colonel Wil- liam Prescott, - DON 'T FIRE UNTIL YOU SEE THE WHITES OF THEIR E YES! This bold strategy by the Americans deterred two British assaults on the hill, but the third assault found them out of ammunition and forced into retreat. Though they lost the battle, the Americans still gained a victory. Forces from all over New England had banded together as a fighting team and proved to the world they could stand up to the King's highly trained soldiers. The British casualties were high - 226 dead, 828 wounded. The American Hght for independence from Eng- lish rule gained world attention and support as a result of the British victory . The Battle of Bunker's Hill sparked a revolutionary spirit, united the rebel forces, and made freedom an achievable goal. THE HOLIDAY EX PRESS mm-Mm , U55 BUNKER HILL I C V-I7j-Essex Class aircraft carrier USS BUNKER HILL CCV-I 72 was christened at the Bethlehem Steel Company, Quincy, Massachusetts on December 7, I942 I the Hrst anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harborj. The aircraft carrier was commissioned on May 24 of the following year. Within her three years and seven months of active service, BUNKER HILL established an impressive combat record that still remains one of the top carrier achievements of World War ll. BUNKER HILL 's embarked aircraft destroyed 430 enemy planes in the air and 230 planes on the ground, her anti-aircraft batteries shot down 20 enemy aircraft. Additionally, BUNKER HILL 's valiant war efforts sent I 46, 803 tons of enemy shipping to the ocean bottom. BUNKER HILL earned the nickname Holiday Express because she conducted her major strikes against the enemy on holidays. She raided New Britian on Armistice Day I 943: attacked Tarawa and nearby islands on Thanksgiving Day in I943, attacked Ka vieng, New Ireland on Christmas Day I943, attacked the Marshalls on President Roosevelt's birthday - January 30, I 944, conducted air strikes against Woleai in the Carolines on April Fools' Day I944, assaulted Formosa on Columbus Day I944, made strikes on Leyte on Armistice Day I944, and participated in raids on Okinawa on April Fool 's Day and Easter Sunday I945. On May I I , I 945, a Japanese kamikaze plane dropped a 500-pound bomb on BUNKER HILL 's flight deck before crashing into parked aircraft onboard the carrier. This bomb exploded on the topside gallery deck. Immediately afterward, a second kamikaze plane crashed into BUNKER HILL 's flight deck, and the aircraft carrier was soon engulfed in flames and smoke. Before the Hres were extinguished, 346 men had been killed, 246 wounded, and 43 men were missing. The severely damaged ship managed to steam under her own power back to Puget Sound Na val Shipyard for repairs. In September, BUNKER HILL reported for duty returning veterans from the PaciHc until January I946 when she was ordered to Bremerton for inactivation. A BUNKER HILL was decommissioned in January I 94 7. She remained in the mothball fleet as an aircraft transport vessel until November I 966, when she was stricken from the Na vy's list of ships. The ex-USS BUNKER HILL served as an antenna radiation test ship for research and development programs until I973. During her naval service, BUNKER HILL received the following awards. The Presidential Unit Citation, the Asiatic-PaciHc Campaign Service Medal with eleven battle stars: the World War ll Victory Medal, the Philippine Liberation Campaign Ribbon: and Republic ofthe Philippines Presidential Unit Citation Badge. Q ,N-wxw The BUNKER HILL represents A New Revolution in Na val Warfare. Unlike our revolutionary patriots, we no longer ha ve to wait to see The whites of their eyes. With the most modern and sophisticated high-tech weaponry available, BUNKER HILL will be defending our sea lanes into the 2l st century. As an AEGI5 cruiser, our mission is to protect Navy Battle Groups from a variety of threats. The BUNKER HILL is equipped with the AL-'GIS weapon system which, combined with the ANXSPY- IA radar and VL5 for missiles, makes BUNKER HILL the most formidable Anti-Air Warfare platform on the seas. The AEGI5 system is capable of simultaneously engaging enemy ships, planes, and incoming missiles. The state-of- the-art computerized system assists in determining which vessels and planes are potentially hostile. It tracks them and, if so programmed, Hres weapons automatically. The heart of the AEGIS combat system is the ANXSPY- IA radar. This unique phased-array radar automatically detects and tracks hundreds of air and surface targets while maintaining surveillance from wa ve tops to zenith. Highly accurate information is gathered by the radar and displayed as computer symbology on large screen-displays and on consoles throughout the combat-information-center and bridge, where operators receive immediate reports of contact course, speed, altitude, flight path, and identification. We are the Hrst AEGIS cruiser to be delivered with the MK 4l vertical launching system, a multi-warfare launcher designed to meet the threat of today and the future - well into the 21 st century. The threat of today requires that the fleet Hght and win a three dimensional war. VL5 offers critical advantages: larger magazine capacity, higher rate of fire, rapid weapon selection, 360 degree coverage, modular design, lower power requirements, and higher survivability. VL5 can accommodate a variety of missile types. The missiles are stored vertically in corrugated steel canisters loaded into the cells of each module by loader crane. The canisters protect the missiles from the elements during transfer and storage. These missiles are then Hred directly from the canisters. Exhaust ports within each module vent smoke and heat produced by the missiles during launch. BUNKER HILL has a total capacity of I 22 missiles, 6 I per launcher, the ship can Hre missiles from both launchers at the same time, including a multiple assortment of air, surface, and land attack missiles. VL5 and its rapid reaction missile inventory, when linked with the ship 's AEGIS weapon system, provides the most effective and efHcient Battle Group protection in the world! .2 U55 BUNKER HILL KCC-F-522-Ticonderoga Class AEGIS Cruiser CAPTAIN THOMAS F MARFIAIC USN Captain Thomas F Marfiak graduated from the United States Naval Academy in I966 and was immediately assigned to duty in destroyers.

Dear Families and Friends of USS BUNKER HILL: When we look back over the past deployment, we see a veritable kaleidoscope of faces, events, days and nights on the front edge of the battle followed by a rapid trip home across the wide reaches of the Indian Ocean and the Western Pacific. We stood watch together by day and night guarding the multi- national forces from air attack during Operation Desert Shield. When H-hour finally arrived, we were there as our Tomahawk cruise missiles thundered towards the enemy. We took control of the skies with Aegis, with SP K with our fellow cruisers and our CAP. We worked with the USS RANGER as the final flurries of Desert Storm swept -over the Iraqi forces leaving Kuwait and, having completed the voyage home to Yokosuka, Japan, received a wonderful welcome from our families and friends. From Summer's work ups through the high speed transit to the Gulf from the first days of facing the Iraqi air threat through the rigors of the battle itself we pulled together as one team, one family. I am very conscious of the unstinting support and courage of our families, waiting and hoping, confident of our return. You kept the banners flying, and even a sudden downpour could not dampen the warmth of our welcome home. ' Across the United States, young and old wrote to express their pride in this wonderful ship and the men who sail her. The letters came, often accompanied by a child's drawing or a mother's prayer. We answered over IO, 000 letters, to let peo- ple know that, in the midst of the conflict, we returned their pride and concern as Americans. Now the guns are silent. The Battleships ha ve returned. Our empty missile canisters lined the pier after our offload. Yet even as we sail in pursuit of of new horizons, memories of what we accomplished together will never fade. I This victory is shared by many men and woman, of all services, from many nations. USS BUNKER HILL, your ship, was privileged to play a role, at the heart of four carrier battle groups, in the midst of an air defense system that covered the entire Gulf region, in the first operational employment of the Tomahawk missile system. Never forget that you are what makes our Navy and our country great. Iam proud of each and every one of you. COMMANDER ROY J.

Comprised of Radiomen and signal- men, this division strives to provide quality communications service at all times. The Radiomen assign transmitters, receivers, antennas, and cryptologic systems to local and remote operating positions to create the circuit- ry required to maintain effective task group and long haul point to point radiotelephone and radioteletype nets. Radio Central also ensures quality control and continuity by using the so- phisticated quality control test suite unique to Aegis Cruisers. The Bunker Hill 's Signal Bridge provides visu- al communications by flaghoist, directional and omni-directional flashing light, and semaphore. The 5ignalmen's prowess in identifying, chal- lenging and replying to various classes of ships also enables Bunker Hill to respond rapidly to any given situation. , ,M iaii a a i i c, caaaiaiiiaa Q4 e mf 1 QW fl ,. ss 1 M .N.,,.f,.e,.,W.. f i .,, 5 , ,gg 1' '+ ' 1 , v , ff e I ,X X Z X 'Q K If--Mg , ,, I - ww Z, Z 7 5 5 . .

RMS' Fulcher teaches his niece about survival The professionalism and skill of lst Division is evident in daily operations on board BUNKER Hll.l., in port or at sea. From bow to stern the deck seamen and rated Boatswain's Mates develop their talents and perform virtually every aspect of marlinspike seamenship, underway replenishment, small boat operations, and aviation operations-all in a consistently outstanding manner. And, more often than not, two or more of these evolutions are progressing simultaneously. Ist Division provides the men who steer the ship at the helm, stand lookout watches, man the flight deck, man the refueling stations, and launch and recover both of the ship's boats, Without the benefit of many formal training programs, the job of the Boatswain's Mate is learned from hands-on experience. Transferring person- nel across a 3-inch line between ships separated by I40 feet of water, launching and recovering the motor whale boat in less than six minutes for a man overboard, are all seamenship skills that are continuously improved by practice, drills and exercises.

Those of us under the umbrella got 105 a little deeper sleep knowing that your superb team was glued to the scopes and screens. 0 Fla wlessly deconflicted thousands of returning air strikes through overlapping na val Hghter and missile engagement zones. BUNKER HILL designed, coordinated and executed a brilliant multitiered deconfliction regime which will serve as a textbook tactical model for years to come, Through close coordination with strike commanders, airborne early warning aircraft, strategically placed radar picket ships and military trafhc controllers ashore, U55 BUNKER HILL. accurately identihed all aircraft egressing from the Kuwait Theater of Operations fKTOj into the Arabian Gulf Cruisers in the AAW Task Group accumulated over I 8,000 hours of Aegis SPY- IAXB and Il,000 New Threat Upgrade SP5-485 radar surveillance of the Arabian Gulf at the most demanding environmental conditions in the world. Raid counts at the height of strike activity routinely exceeded 2000 sorties per day. BUNKER HILL 'S aggressive direction of tighter Rules of Engagement ensured the successful deconfliction of over 65,000 aircraft without a single inadvertent engagement or blue-on-blue mishap. 0 During the early days of the Gulf War, identiHed aerial resources and directed multiple engagements of Iraqi patrol boats in the northern Arabian Gulf Because the local Anti-Surface Warfare Commander CA SU WC Q initially lacked the requisite air control capabilities to prosecute air- to-surface attacks, USS BUNKER HILL stepped in to coordinate aerial reconnaissance, tanking and vectoring of combat air patrol and surface strike aircraft against enemy na val forces as they sortied form port. In coordination with the Battle Force ASU WC and local ASUWC, U55 BUNKER HILL directed carrier aircraft in the engagement and destruction of almost one-third of the ships in the Iraqi naval order of battle while simultaneously controlling the air war. BUNKER HILL subsequently assigned SUCA PXA SR air control responsibilities to AE W aircraft and another Aegis cruiser operating in the northern Arabian Gulf with similarly spectacular results. ' Through detailed planning and consistent execution, completely reformed and upgraded the existing tactical data link architecture in the Arabian Gulf to provide improved surveillance coverage and connectivity. Working closely with U. 5. Marine and Air Force sector commandeffr BUNKER HILL pioneered innovative solutions to complex obstacles impairing joint and allied interoperability. Incorporating over 60 afloat and I 40 shorebased subscribers, BUNKER HILL designed and implemented the most comprehensive data exchange network ever devised in modern warfare, providing joint commanders with requisite real time command and control of dense, complex air defense forces.

Capitalizing on lessons learned during Exercise NEMEON LION II, BUNKER HILL was instrumental in the accomplishment of pre-launch preparations, AA W planning and strike coordination among multiple launch platforms. As AA WC, BUNKER HILL devised and coordinated TLAM deconfliction procedures which ensured the operational security of L5 strike missions and precluded the inadvertent engagement of friendly cruise missiles by allied naval forces. U55 BUNKER HILL 's direction of :Hrabian Gulf AA W forces while simultaneously conducting multiple Tomahawk attacks provided a convincing and unprecedented demonstration :of integrated strike warfare.

In addition, U55 BUNKER HILL transmitted a comprehensive series of HIM W tactics and procedural messages to the many na val forces surging into the Gulf upon the outbreak of hostilities in late January I 991. The glcmnmander of the USS RANGER Battle Group, the Hrst carrier group to join U55 MID WA Y in the Arabian Gulf after D-Day, noted, We used QIBUNKER HILL 's AA W lnchopper series as a blueprint for our final training workups and arrived ready to join the fight from Day One.

USS BUNKER HILL directed AA W forces in pro viding complete protection of Bahrain, coastal Saudi Arabia, Quatar, CV operating areas, combat logistics and amphibious task forces, and the United Arab Emirates from enemy air attack. Forces under USS Iraqi F-I EOS! 6 Mirage aircraft shot down by Royal Saudi Air Force F- I4 Tomcats under AA WC tactical control set and maintained CAP stations feet dry. well in southeastern Iraq at ranges in excess of 400 miles from homeplate, a feat unprecedented in the annals of na val aviation. Tanker support, handover to A WA CS control and cyclic rotation of Fleet Defense CAP stations were planned and coordinated by USS BUNKER HILL. In addition, AA W forces ensured the complete protection of mine sweeping and na val gunfire support forces operating in close proximity to the coastline of occupied Kuwait. The close degree of tactical cohesiveness extent within the AA W Task Group was vividly demonstrated ons25 February l99l when HMS GLOUCES TER shot down an Iraqi HY-2 Silkworm aimed at USS MISSOURI CBB-64Q then conducting call Hre missions in support of MARCENT operations ashore. 0 In addition to executing Battle Force AA W coordination responsibilities, USS BUNKFR HILL 's courageous crew continuously maintained installed propulsion, auxiliary and combat systems at the highest degree of operational readiness during long, unbroken periods at sea in harsh conditions. For months prior to D-Day, USS BUNKER HILL was the Na vy's forward-most combatant in the Arabian Gulf where reaction times against frequent Iraqi Air Force sorties were measured in minutes and, occasionally, seconds. Operating continuously in the immediate vicinity of hostile surface craft, mines and enemy aircraft for consecutive months, BUNKER HILL never made a mistake. In the months prior to the commencement of hostilities, through the transition to war, BUNKER HILL provided the continuity, coordination, strategic thinking, and tactical direction that ensured unprecedented success in the air war over the Gulf This spectacular demonstration of unparalleled staying power in combat was commended by Commander, Battle Force Z ULU, who wrote From the Hrst moment of BUNKER HILL 's arrival and assumption ofthe awesome task of Anti-Air Warfare Commander of the Arabian Gulf she set the standard for performance that no one could hope to match. Her development of a precise functioning organization, that at its zenith included 26 primary AA W ships, from eight different coalition na vies, and airborne assets was a testament to the level of performance that can be attained by a well trained and motivated crew. This was borne out by the outstanding coordination achieved as the AA W force correctly identiHed over 65,000 contacts egressing from hostile territory without a single blue on blue engagement. The men of BUNKER HILL can walk with their heads held high for their part in achievement of all the goals of this campaign. In summary, USS BUNKER HILL performed brilliantly in diverse and challenging combat operations. The ship and its courageous crew rendered valuable and distinguished service to the people of Kuwait in their tight against domination and oppression. Their heroic devotion to duty contributed significantly to the establishment of air supremacy in the Arabian Gulf and ultimately to the success of allred coalrtron forces engaged in the Gulf War. 109 EOD personnel attempt to detonate an Iraqi floating mine found off the port bow of the U55 BUNKER Hlll fl' the Arabian Gulf Tlre above mine explodes sending water over 200 ft in the air.

SHIELD The Sea Dragon is a powerfully awesome beast that is both vigilant and fierce, Grasping a flaming sword, the sea dragon symbolizes na val prowess and the attack capability of today's U55 BUNKER HILL CCG-522, The flaming sword also represents the revolutionary capability of the Vertical Launching System first introduced in BUNKER HILL. The stars represent the eleven battle stars the former BUNKER HILL I C V'l7j earned for her World War ll service in the Pacific theatre, Blue and Gold are the colors traditionally associated with the Navy and are symbolic of the sea and excellence. The two white bars in chief represent American courage and purpose as displayed at the Battle of Bunker Hill on I7 .lune I775. The red bars symbolize the British assaults on the colonists' entrenchment and the curve below alludes to the hill which the British took at great cost. Bunker Hill proved to be a rallying point for the Americans, for after that the British Empire faced full scale war. CREST The entrenched colonist's were formidable opponents. The entrenchments or re- doubts they dug and built are symbolized by the scarlet hill shape with battlements. The musket with ba yonets recall the weapons of that battle and owder horn refers to P the New Englanders' stand behind the entrenchments and until their ammunition was d use up, The anchor is symbolic of the strong maritime heritage of our nation. . .an island nation, a W . 5.gL g'l ,11p,gggW, WV, J., iv 1 ,.
