JT- 1f ■' ON THE CUTTING EDGE WESTPAC ' 88 This is the Captain speaking . . . rom the Bay of San Francisco, across the Pacific, through the Bering Sea and into the Indian Ocean, CARL VINSON has made her awesome presence felt. Every time she was called upon to perform, she did so flawlessly and with that extra effort that has become her hallmark. I want to express my personal gratitude to you, the crew — the finest men this great nation has to offer. You have proven your unselfish willingness to demonstrate and, if necessary, defend those values and ideals upon which our country was founded. I also wish to thank all the families and friends who endured this extended separation. Your unselfish dedication and sacrifice has not gone unnoticed or unappreciated. Join us now, the crew of CARL VINSON, as we relive our odyssey through the pages of this book. This is the story of the men, honed on the cutting edge, who took the BATTLESTAR into WESTPAC 88.

UNITED STATES SHIP CARL VINSON CVN-70 M USS CARL VINSON ' S NAMESAKE . . . Rep. Carl Vinson (D-GA) 1883-1981 Born in 1883, early in the era of the Navy ' s steel ships, Carl Vinson was barely twenty years old when the Wright brothers made their first flight. But even as a young man he had a vision which would place his imprint on ships and planes of the future. Following service in the Georgia General Assembly, Carl Vinson was elected in 1914 as the youngest member of the 63rd U.S. Congress. Vinson soon proclaimed his philos- ophy concerning military preparedness: The most expen- sive thing in the world is a cheap Army and Navy. He also declared History has shown that weakness invites at- tack. Never deviating from the political philosophy that only a strong defense can insure peace, Vinson became a powerful force in the growth of America ' s land, sea, and air forces. Elected Chairman of the House Committee on Naval Affairs in 1932, Representative Vinson was determined to see the United States build a naval force spanning both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. In two years he forged and moved through Congress the landmark Vinson-Trammel Act, providing authority for the eventual construction of ninety-two major warships — the birth of the two ocean Navy. Carl Vinson ' s skilled legislative abilities assisted in the creation of the Army Air Corps, the improvement of avi- ator and aircraft procurement, and the pre-World War H expansion of the Navy ' s air arm. From Capitol Hill, he guided the establishment of a separate air academy and the launching of the Navy ' s first nuclear powered aircraft car- rier. Carl Vinson ' s service in the House of Representatives exceeds that of anyone elected to the U.S. Congress since it first convened in 1789. During his unparalleled tenure — more than fifty years — he also completed a record break- ing twenty nine years as Chairman of the House Naval Affairs and Armed Services Committee. Few men in American history have made so profound an impact on the Nation ' s defenses as Carl Vinson. The crew of this aircraft carrier is proud to serve in the ship that bears his name and proud to honor his outstanding service to the United States. opposite top left: The ship ' s sponsor, Rep.

This great aircraft carrier will add strength. But it must not stop here . . . Only with determina- tion on the part of our people to remain militarily strong, will we survive. When the CARL VINSON was christened by the con- gressman ' s nurse and long-time friend, Molly Snead, on March 15, 1980, Mr. Vinson was present, making him the first U. S. citizen to see the launching of a Navy ship in his honor. It is impossible for me to find words to express my gratitude for the high honor paid me here today, he said. No event in my life, no event in my future, can ever equal this day. My cup runneth over.

No other type of ship is nearly as flexible as the carrier which can operate an innumerable variety of weapon systems by changing the mix of her aircraft. The mission of USS CARL VINSON is to launch, recov- er, and carry aircraft. The four main functions of the ship embarked airwing team are reconnaisance, long range at- tack, antisubmarine warfare, and protection for other ships against airborne, surface and subsurface attack. The CARL VINSON, one of the largest mobile man- made structures in the world, displaces approximately 95,000 tons of water and can steam at speeds of greater than thirty knots with unlimited endurance. It is almost ar long as the Empire State Building is tall and from keel to mast- top it is as high as a twenty-four story building. With elec- tronic deception, speed, and use of weather, this supercar- rier can literally hide from the enemy. With a crew of nearly 6,000, the CARL VINSON is equivalent to a small city with some additional features: It has its own nuclear power plant, it moves, and it has an airport on the roof! In addition to living quarters and din- ing facilities, the ship has a waterworks for conversion of seawater to freshwater, a printing plant which even pro- duces a daily newspaper, a weather bureau, machine shops, a dental clinic, post office, laundry, fire department, bank, retail stores, and several radio and television stations. But it is flesh and blood sailors who make the CARL VINSON more than a mass of steel plate, cable and pipe. The ship is populated by men from every state in the Union and with all degrees of experience — officers with decades of experience and others just out of school; veteran enlisted men in their fifties and teenage sailors and airmen away from home for the first time. Each works in one of the twenty specialized departments or in one of the nine sepa- rate squadrons. But leadership, training, and a sense of purpose blend nearly 6,000 individual personalities toward one goal — being ever-ready to exercise the awesome pow- er of the BA TTLESTAR in support of the defense and goals of our country. Men and machine, this ship and her crew are on the cutting edge! USS CARL VINSON The teamwork required for daily operations never ceases. Gunner ' s mates continuously train with the 50 caliber machine gun, signalmen transfer information from ship to ship, the helmsman keeps the ship on the desired course while below decks the mess management specialists prepare the crew ' s meals as aerographers pre- pare the weather forecast. n USS CARL VINSON T ' lp: A Corsair 11 in its attack role.

USS CARL VINSON EMBARKED AIRCRAFT F-14A TOMCAT The F-14A Tomcat, the most sophisticated fighter yet developed, is designed to protect the battle group from hostile aircraft. Flown by a crew of two, the Tomcat is a twin-engine, all-weather airplane capa- ble of flying twice the speed of sound. It carries the long range Phoenix missile in addition to Sparrow and Sidewinder missiles. Fighter Squadrons 51 and 111 fly the F-14 from CARL VINSON. E-2C HAWKEYE The E-2C Hawkeye is an airborne early warning and control system capable of maintaining patrol on naval task force perimeters in all weather. The E-2 can assess any threat from approaching enemy aircraft over ranges greater than 250 nautical miles. Long range detection, automatic target track initiation, and high speed data pro- cessing combine to enable the Hawkeye to track automatically more than 600 targets and control more than 40 intercepts. The E-2 is flown from CARL VINSON by Carrier Airborne Early Warning Squadron 114. SH-3H SEA KING The SH-3H Sea King is a gas turbine powered helicopter used in the primary role of carrier inner zone antisubmarine warfare and in the secondary role of search and rescue. The Sea King has an on-station mission capability exceeding five hours and is airborne during all flight operations. The Black Knights of Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron 4 fly the SH-3 from CARL VINSON 10 — AIRWING FIFTEEN A-7E CORSAIR II The A-7E Corsair II is a single-seat, light attack aircraft capable of carrying munitions equalling its own weight to distant targets. Its ability to carry out missions of close air support and its ability to carry nearly every bomb, mine, and missile in the Navy inventory make it an excellent platform for the attack role. The A-7 is flown from CARL VINSON by Attack Squadrons 27 and 97. A-6E INTRUDER The A-6E Intruder is a low-level, high-speed bomber designed to deliver a variety of ordnance to targets completely obscured by inclement weather or darkness. With a two man crew, the Intruder can carry five 2,000 pound bombs or twenty-eight 500 pound bombs. Attack Squadron 52 flies the A-6 from CARL VINSON. The squad- ron also flies the KA-6D, the tanker version of the Intruder used for in-flight refueling of other aircraft. EA-6B PROWLER The EA-6B Prowler is a four-seat, all-weather jet used for tactical electronic warfare. Flying in excess of 500 knots, the Prowler uses sensitive receivers and high power jammers in an effective combina- tion to mislead or suppress enemy radar and radios. The sophisticat- ed electronic equipment of the EA-6B make it one of the most expen- sive aircraft in the Air Wing. Tactical Electronic Warfare Squadron 134 flies the Prowler from CARL VINSON. -3A VIKING The S-3A Viking provides an ideal balance of computer technology and antisubmarine systems which enable its crew of four to collect, process, interpret, and store data. With an endurance of more than seven hours, the S-3 is used primarily for submarine search and prosecution missions in the vicinity of the task force. The Viking is flown from CARL VINSON by Air Antisubmarine Squadron 29.

So on 10 November 1987, San Francisco ' s Own invited friends and families of the officers and crew to come aboard for a day at sea. Fathers, mothers, sons, and daughters all became sailors for a day. Friends of the Navy and friends of the crew were awestruck at the show performed for them by the men of CARL VINSON and CARRIER AIRWING FIFTEEN. Some of their comments: Impressive! I ' ve always been interested in the Navy and its activities. I ' m thrilled to have the opportunity to ride this mighty ship! It was wonderful to see the demonstration of professionalism and coordination required to accomplish the difficult tasks of air operations! Only a country that could put a man on the moon could create a vessel as fantastic as the CARL VINSON.

PE ) - Party dvanced As with any educational endeavor, preparing for deploy- ment requires increasingly higher education. If REFTRA can be considered High School, then the Advanced Train- ing Assessment is College. In Janurary, 1988 the BATTLE- STAR graduated with honors. ATA provided rigorous testing — every man and every piece of equipment was assessed. All of our skills, from managing mass casualties and fires to conducting strike operations, were put on trial. When it was through, the COMNAVAIRPAC observers had seen professionalism and dedication at its best. They had indeed witnessed a winner — a ship on the cutting edge. raining 46 — ATA ssessment A.T.A.

It ' s a game of inches where the slightest error could mean disaster. The skills of a Navy pilot are not easily attained and they are skills which must be honed to a cutting edge. From 23 February to 4 March, during Fleet Replacement Squadron carrier qualifications (FRS CQ), the BATTLESTAR was the platform where aviators from up and down the West Coast fine tuned their aircraft carrier operating skills. Along with experienced crews of CVW-15, aviators from VF-124, VFA-125, VA-301, VA-302, VAQ-129, VAW-llO, VS-41, and VX-5 safely executed over 1800 traps and catapult shots aboard CARL VINSON. CO.

The BATTLESTAR and the WOLFPACK not only smoothly integrated with the other ships of our Battle Group but with submarines and patrol aircraft as well.

Barrera ENGINEERING — 253 M DIVISION Main Machinery Machinery Division consists of 120 Ma- chinist ' s Mates who work deep in the ship ' s engineering rooms and shaft alleys. It takes 24 watchstations manned around the clock to maintain the BATTLESTAR ' s ability to move a combat ready airwing to nearly anjt point in the world at a moments notice One of the principle responsibilities of the division is to maintain and operate the ship ' s four massive engines which can propel the BATTLESTAR at sustained speeds of great- er than 30 knots. No less important is the operation of the ship ' s service turbine gener- ators. The snipes also operate and maintain four distilling units at peak efficiency, mak- ing nearly 400,000 gallons of fresh water per day for the crew, propulsion plant, and air- craft corrosion control. The reboilers main- tained by M Division supply service steam fo laundry, galleys, and showers. From the propellers and shafts, to the thou- sands of gauges served by the calibration lab, to miles of pipe and thousands of valves. Machinery Division hones the cutting edge, not by adver- , rising service, but providing it. Steam iny 60,000 nautical miles a cruise is not easy but the guys in M-division make it easy. That ' s one good reason why we ' re on the cutting edge. ' ' MM2 Charles A. IIov I K jf K- r ■n Pii « iJ tt KL ps? m ' I tM MMl J. J. Delooze LCDR J. M. Berner LTJG V. E. Kemege LTJG G, A.

Kalmbach, USMC Executive Officer si mmemssaamm MARINE DETACHMENT ea duty is the oldest duty of Marines, dating from the Athenian fleets of the fifth century B.C. and carrying on through Roman times when separate legions of Milites Classiarri (Soldiers of the Fleet) were assigned to duty afloat. In the seventeenth century, when the British and Dutch organized the first modern corps of Marines, it was for duty as ships ' detachments, and it was for this same purpose that U. S. Marines were first raised in 1775. A marine is first and foremost a maritime soldier who wages war on and from the sea. Since the Revolutionary War, shiphoard Marines have played traditional roles as Kl rize crews, riflemen°and landing forces. From the Corps ' first expedition and amphibious landing in 1776 at New Providence Island, Bahamas, to the present, the Marines have always been on the cutting edge in every clime and place. The Marines of USS CARL VINSON continue this proud tradition by providing internal security for the BATTLE- STAR. Although the weaponry and ships have changed, the mission of Marines on board naval vessels has remained the same: Warriors of the Sea .

L Smith OA DIVISIO f Metro The Aerographer Division (OA) aboard CARL VINSON is responsible for providing accurate forecasts of tactically significant at- mospheric and oceanographic parameters. This diversified mission is accomplished through conscientious observation of envi- ronmental elements which are reviewed in concert with satellite imagery, facsimile pro- ducts, and worldwide weather reports to pro- duce the required forecasts. Highly trained observers measure and rec- ord hourly atmospheric parameters, review data for satellite trajectories and align anten- na accordingly. They produce computer gen- erated enhancements of satellite imagery, and maintain critical HF communications in the form of facsimile chart and World Meteoro- logical Organization broadcasts. Their oceanographic responsibilities include drop- ping expendable bathythermographs which sample the oceans ' temperatures, and prepare acoustic products detailing the effect of sound in the water. Finally, after all of this informa- tion has been collated by a forecaster, tailored environmental briefs are delivered to the air wing pilots prior to each sortie. The sailors in OA Division are part of a new wave of Aerographer ' s Mate, who go be- yond the realm of simply forecasting the weather. Their role in providing tactical in- formation regarding the refraction of electro- magnetic energy, attenuatin of infrared and optical waveforms, complexities of the ocean ' s thermal structure, and expected acoustic transmission ranges have directly enhanced Battle Group CHARLIE ' S ability to perform its mission on the cutting edge. ' j Many of today ' s weapon systems are affected by the environment. Battlestar forecasters determine winds, cloud amounts, and moisture for flight ops as well as all other ship ' s operations.

While the duties may not be as highly visible as some others in an aircraft carrier, the men of Reactor Electrical Division know that their work is vital to keeping the ship on the cut- ting edge of naval technology. • • We operate and maintain electrical equipment vital to the operation of the ship ' s reactors. By us doing our job the ship can maintain the ability to exceed in all its goals. ' EM2 Charles W. Alexander EM2 C. Alexander EM2 A. J. Bax EM2 C. N. CInocco REACTOR — 329 EM2 S. Schurer EM2 L.

OePountis RM DIVISION Reactor Mechanical In a rigourous working environment, Re- actor Mechanical Division personnel com- bine their understanding of complex reactor theory and their knowledge of mechanical principles to harness and convert the power produced by the two nuclear reactors on board USS CARL VINSON. Without the steam produced and controlled by Reactor Mechanical Division, the BATTLESTAR would be without electricity, propulsion, fresh water, hotel services such as cooking and laundry steam, and without capability to launch aircraft. Reactor Mechanical Division, the second largest in the Reactor Department, performs preventive and corrective maintenance on all the fluid systems associated with the nuclear reactors. These systems contain many pumps, miles of steam and water piping, and literally thousands of valves. In addition, the respon- sibility for the fluid systems extends to pro- viding numerous watchstanders to monitor and control those systems, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Having some of the most advanced training in the world and performing one of the most vital functions aboard CARL VINSON, Re- actor Mechanical Division is definitely on the cutting edge of the Navy ' s future. • • RAI Division is re- sponsible for the me- chanical auxiliaries that support the operation of the ship ' s tivo reactors, the hearts of the batt- iest ar.

Tiie first is the indoctrination and initial training of newly reporting personnel to Reactor and Engineering Departments. The new arrivals spend two months learning the basics of the complex systems associated with the reactor and steam plants from the Reactor Training staff. After an initial training period, they are assigned to one of the other Reactor Depart- ment or Engineering Department divisions where they utilize their newfound knowledge in learning to operate the BATTLESTAR ' s enormous and complicated reactor and steam plants. The second mission of Reactor Training Division is the administration of the ongoing training program for qualified nuclear pro- pulsion plant operators and documentation of watch station qualifications. Together these two missions are aimed at ensuring the knowledge level of the qualified nuclear pro- pulsion plant operators is kept on the cutting edge. • • We train the people who will be run- ning the reactors.

Andraslii WEAPONS — 373 G-2 DIVISION I m I IfHl m WESTPAC 88 proved to be the most pri ic cruise ever for G-2 Division, the ship ' s ar- mory. They did it all, and in a style all their own. Whether performing corrective mainte- nance on fouled sprinkler valves, engaging in their favorite familiarization firings, or hon- ing their war fighting capabilities through .50 cal gun shoot exercises, G-2 Division was on the cutting edge. G-2 Division, home of the real gunners, consists of the Ship ' s Gun- ner, Leading Chief Petty Officer, and 20 of the best gunners on the West Coast. Primary responsibilities of G-2 Division include man- ning the ship ' s armory, maintaining all small arms, serving as key and lock custodian for high security keys and locks for CARL VIN- SON, providing physical security for the ship, and operation and maintenance of the ship ' s magazine sprinkler system. Due to the heightened state of readiness encountered on BENO Station, this WESTPAC required around-the-clock manning of the ship ' s .50 cal machine gun mounts. G-2 provided valu- able training which enabled all mounts to be manned and ready by department personnel within five minutes. From their stand and deliver .50 cal philosophy, to their can do spirit, they are driven to excellence on thi cutting edge of freedom. • If the ship is ever under attack by small boats or low flying aircraft, G-2 Armory will come through!

They are responsible for the proper stowage, assembly and strike up of all conventional weapons on board, ranging from bombs and missiles to 20 mm ammuni- tion magazine groups, a job that requires con- tinuous attention by everyone within two work centers. The cruise schedule and work- up cycle prior to deployment tasked the divi- sion ' s ability to function under demanding circumstances, including numerous ammuni- tion onloads and a Fallon Weapons Detach- ment that tested their skills in the assembly of a wide variety of air launched weapons. The bottom line is the aircraft carrier ' s mission to accurately put fused bombs on target.

Leslier 376 — WEAPONS G-4 DIVISION Weapons Elevators G-4 Division, Weapons Elevators, provide the movement of weapons from the maga- zines to the Flight Deck, the crucial step that allows the ship to perform its mission. The three workcenters that comprise G-4 Divi- sion are tasked with maintaining all of the equipment necessary for weapons move- ments. The largest of these workcenters is the elevator shop, thirty-one men that perform preventive maintenance, corrective mainte- nance, and corrosion control on ten weapons elevators and two hydraulic power plants. Since this extremely complex system is elec- trically and hydraulically operated, the ele- vators require quick thinking and timely ac- tion on the part of highly skilled technicians to maintain 100% reliability. The forklift shop is composed of five technicians who maintain thirty forklifts and four pallet trucks. Each electrically and hydraulically operated forklift moves up to 4,000 pounds of ordnance. Aviation Weapons Support Equipment (AWSEP) is responsible for the preventive maintenance, corrosion control, and build-up of over 3,000 weapons skids. These skids pro- vide an efficient method of moving weapons inside the magazines, through the Hangar Bays, and across the Flight Deck. This intricate job is performed by only twelve men. The in- credibly complex equipment maintained by G- 4 is the crucial element in getting weapons to the aircraft. Without this function, the CARL VINSON could not carry out its mission for the Navy, Fused bombs on target. ••G- ' is the maiTi battery of Weapons.

The Ordnance Han- dling Officer and the men of the Aviation Ordnance Control Center are constantly called upon to keep CARL VINSON on the cutting edge. Their main responsibilities in- volved the coordination of stowage, move- ment, build-up and transfer of ordnance from initial receipt during conventional and verti- cal replenishments at sea to the delivery on target from airwing platforms. The produc- tion wizards of the department, all weapons onloads and offloads are directed and orches- trated by AOCC personnel. In summary, all ordnance handling evolutions on board CARL VINSON are directed, controlled and monitored by a very unique team of profes- sionals, the Aviation Ordnance Control Cen- ter, G-5 Division. • • We are the guys who control the onload, move- ment, build-up, and delii Kjk ery of all weapons.

After several changes in homeport locations, the squadron was redesignated as a Fleet Logistic Support Squadron and permanently sta- tioned at Naval Air Station Cubi Point, Republic of the Philippines in April 1971. Operating the C-2A Greyhound, US-3A, CT-39, and C-130F aircraft, the men and women of VRC-50 provide Air Logistic Support, carrier onboard delivery (COD) and rapid air transport for the Seventh Fleet. VRC-50 detachments operate from Guam, Kenya, Japan, Diego Garcia, and carriers deployed in the Indian Ocean. On the cutting edge of Logistic Support, the squadron won the Na- tional Defense Transportation award in 1988 for its contributions in the Far East; the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal in 1975 for its vital role in the Vietnam and Mauaguez evacuation efforts; and the National De- fense Transportation Award in 1978 for its sustained outstanding perfor- mance in military Transportation. In 1985 VRC-50 earned the BATTLE E for outstanding Air Logistic Support. Whenever Seventh Fleet units operate, the VRC-50 Foo Dogs are there to deliver the goods. ADl M.M. Mirador AK2 R.D.
