There were, indeed, a large number of warships in the Eastern Pacific that month — over 40 of them, not to mention over 20,000 sailors and airmen. They were all engaged in RIMPAC ' 80, the seventh RIMPAC, a three week multi-national naval exercise. It involved five units from the Royal Australian Navy, four units from the Canadian Armed forces, two units from the Royal New Zealand Navy, twenty-eight units from the United States Navy, and for the first time, two units from the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force. All who participated in this major fleet exercise came away with a feeling of self-satisfaction of new achievements. 13 HAWAII I 14 msm .« for a break in the action 15 Goodbye Hawaii Hello WestPac r 1 16 AIMD n, Day in and day out, CONSTELLATION ' S aUwing continues to operate its mechanically complex aircraft. Many flight hour records will be set. Have you ever stopped to wonder what keeps these marvels of modern technology airborne? It ' s the maintenance know-how provided by AIMD, the Aircraft Intermediate Maintenance Department. Without the significant maintenance support provid- ed by this spirited organization, extended periods at sea would render the air power on this ship useless. Connie ' s aircraft fix-it men are divided into four sub-divisions. Whether it is the aircraft itself, any of the many airborne systems, or one of the many pieces of related support equipment, AIMD is there to fix it, regardless of where in the world Connie might be.

K£ 32 S - The Air Department aboard CONSTELLAnON consists of over five hundred men who make the mission of this carrier possible every day. Flying aircraft takes more than just pilots. Along with the support personnel of AIMD and the various squadrons, the men of V-1 through V-4 do everything but fly the planes themselves. The Air Department ' s realm consists of the smooth operating flight deck and hangar deck. V-1 Division controls flight deck movement of aircraft, the respot of aircraft, the operation of the deck edge elevators, crash and salvage equipment, and tractors. The swift, safe, and sure, launch and recovery of all aircraft is the work of V-2 Division. The four steam catapults, five arresting gears, and PLAT lens, are all the responsibility of this large division. Working below deck in the hanger bay is the hard working group of men in V-3 Division. They position all aircraft in the hanger bay and coordinate moving aircraft to and from the flight deck during flight operations and respots. When not involved in the movement of aircraft, the division continues to work hard at keeping the hanger deck clean and FOD free. Known as the grapes , the men of V-4 division work to keep Connie ' s planes full of gas. The purple-shirted men of V-4 work both on the flight deck and below decks insuring the flow of fuel. The administrative branch of Air Department is V-5 division. Their service is invaluable to the Air Boss as they account for all aircraft being launched and recovered. CDR D.

It is a land of smiling resourceful people who are suspended in 20th Century progress along with their rich cultural ties. It is a sea of friendly faces, both young and old, where uncom- mon talent and fine crafts- manship are as plentiful as sunny Philippine days. The heart and soul of Subic Bay is not a cheap Olongapo bar, but the slice of humanity that makes it so much more. 57 Corregidor Located in the middle of the Manila Bay, the historically significant island of Corregidor serves as a monument to those men who sacrificed their lives there in the name of Freedom. The island ' s many fortifications and what remains of its buildings have been left standing as they had been since the end of World War II. The words of the sign pictured on the following page state most concisely what Corregidor means to the people of the Philippines. 58 59 Ai Let ' s hear it for San Miguel and . . . 60 ' W- rapid public transportation Two of the things many of us will least likely forget about our Philippines liberty are the smooth taste of a cold San Miguel beer and the unique vehicles of public transporta- tion that fill the busy streets of Olongapo and Subic City. For practically no money at all, anyone can ride in style in one of the hundreds of ex- travagantly customized jeep- neys or one of the plethora of trykes roaming around the streets and alleyways of the city. 61 Times of Leisure The short time CONSTELLATION spent in the Philippines this time not only allowed for many needed repairs to be accomplished, but also gave the crew a chance to relax and unwind. Whether it was nocturnal romantic escapades, snorkeling off Grande Island, finding a special tour guide, kicking back on the beach, or moving out in the CONSTELLATION Six Mile Fun Run; CONSTELLATION sailors found their own special brand of recreation. 63 m o o z o o m r- - Th Mrttioftfy to Ml la n w t ww a to o tfw towr itan fflfVACV ACT tTATVMlMT Pi— nnwiiix Wipiminm, Tt« v nc4Ml purpi •A ft use ■i«iuim oi ( «• OiiNrvnam oi in H vy «« tf wr MtA rour tion Of awthoftWien twtny r«QuMt«d Cofno«tMn of VM tcm MAMf (Lml An aMM aMaHJ Br addock, William T.

Sadler Communications Oificer This tight-knit integral team of sailors handles the information flow that keeps Connie going. The sixty some men of the Communications Department are either of the signal man or radioman ratings. From the signal bridge, the signalman ' s job is that of transmitting and receiving signals from other ships via a variety of means, including flaghoist, flashing light, and semaphore. Seven decks below in Radio Control, the message traffic for the entire ship and em- barked staffs is handled and processed. Whether it ' s news of a newborn child or a confidential Naval intelligence message, it comes direct- ly to Connie ' s radiomen. In the course of a WestPac deployment, these busy sailors can be expected to transmit and receive well over one hundred thousand messages. OFFICERS AND CHIEFS: (L- R) ENS A. Wright, CDR J.

Hyde Deck Department Officer Since seafaring men first ventured out into this planet ' s vast oceans, the skills of seamanship have proven their worth. Even in this technologically changing world, there still are some things that year after year are done the same. Every ship big or small that goes to sea must have the special breed of deck seaman. The Deck Department aboard CONSTELLATION IS a skillful and professional group of this kind of sailor. Some one hundred fifty men comprise the 1st Division, 2nd Division, 3rd Division, and Bos ' n Detail of Deck Department. Their responsibilities lie in the operation and maintenance of all the ship ' s ground tackle, boats, anchors, deck winches, capstan, and replenishment and refueling riggings. The variety of jobs performed by Connie ' s deck seamen are numerous. Whether they are acting as lookouts for the ship while underway, lowering the boats for the rescue of a man overboard, getting the ship into and out of port, or operating the fuel rigs in an all-night underway replenishment, they are a dedicated group that can be relied upon. And when the ship is inport, it ' s the Bos ' n Detail that can be seen giving this grey lady her monumental expansive manicure. Like centuries of men before them, Connie ' s deck seamen carry out t he time honored Naval tradition of deck seamanship with pride. OFFICERS AND CHIEFS (standing L-R) BMC C Cailord, LTJC P.

Boyer 73 iLL Underway Replenishment — Ballet, Navy-Style CONNIE steams a steady ten knots as dawn breaks over the smooth South China Sea. Suddenly, several shots shatter the morning stillness. Shot lines snake through the air. Steaming just one hundred fifty feet off the starboard side is one of a variety of replen- ishment ships. As the two titans travel down the same narrow stretch of sea, pulleys creak and strain, rigging tightens, and heli- copter blades whip the air. A deck officer barks orders, and brightly-clad life-jacketed sailors scramble to their sta- tions. Organized activity begins as the ship bears down to another underway replen- ishment. ' I? ' t : ' - - Vertical Replenishment is that type of replenishment involving transfering of stores by helos. Like refueling, K is a precision operation. The helos hover only a few feet above the rolling and pitching ship in order to grab the cable attached to a load of vital stores. 1 - ' Trwsfm J Dental - -t:fri- - ' i- I I I ill ' —— tp « 11 I On CONSTELLATION ' S second deck, lives a department as small in number as it is huge in scope. As for their job, it is as important as a big beautiful smile. The four dentist and twelve dental technicians comprising CONSTELLATION ' S Dental Clinic provide dental care for over five thousand men at an average rate of one hundred patients per day. Dental work as diverse as flouride treatments and root canals are handled routinely. The success of the clinic should not be measured in quantity alone, but in the top-notch quality of work all of the patients receive. As far as house calls go, the Dental clinic is available for emergency treatment twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week; which is a good reason for every Connie crew member to smile. CDR R.

It is also just a smattering of the day-to-day vital services Connie ' s engineers supply routinely. Any time there is a temporary failure of one of the myriad of services provided by this department it becomes immediately noticeable by every crewmember. Whether it ' s common hotel services or the ability to launch and recover air- craft, the essential nature of their job becomes apparent. The success of this department can be measured in the countless hours of continuous service that often gets taken for granted. Engineers are always thought about when the lights go out, but not very often when the execution of their job makes CONSTELLATION not only a habitable place but a combat-capable warship.

The Summer Olympics -the only one vJl XJt . Beneath the blistering Indian Ocean sun, the 1755 CONSTELLATION (CV-64) recently hosted the Second Annual Gonzo Olympic Games. Amid much pomp and circumstance, including the festive trumpeting of a marching band, the gala flurry of billowing banners, a rank and file review of parading athletes and even a prancing cabbage-leafed torchbearer, ten teams participated in the Sports Spectacular. The Olympics named after the ship ' s operating area, dubbed Gonzo Station, provided a welcome break in the fleets operating schedule and an opportunity for team members to shake the salt from their bones while competing in the challenging athletic contests. Athletes from the USS BACLEY {ff-W69), (755 HO£r(FF- 1074), USS MARS ( fS- ), USS O ' BRIEN (DD-975) and USS WORDEN (CG-18), as well as two teams from the .

CONSTELLATION herself plus two te ams from attached Carrier Air Wing NINE and a squad from Connie ' s Marine Detachment competed in the nine-event, day long Olympiad sponsored by Rear Admiral William Ramsey, Commander Carrier Group ONE. The events, carefully structured to test the true grit of each team consisted of two five mile runs on Connie ' s blistering flightdeck, the high jump, the standing broadjump, paper airplane toss, basketball foul shooting contest, egg toss, frisbee throwing and a battle of stalwart stomachs . . . the hotdog eating contest. From mid-morning to late afternoon large crowds migrated from the hangardeck to the flightdeck following the flow of the game ' s excitement. Between events, Connie ' s Marine De- tachment executed a display of precision marksmanship with a target shoot from the ship ' s fantail and CONSTELLATION ' S enWsled dining facilities and wardrooms hosted visiting athletes for lunch and dinner. At the close of the action-packed day, anxious athletes and spectators alike awaited the Gonzo Officials final tallies. The USS O ' BRIEN captured the Gonzo Bronze, Carrier AirWingNine Team ' A ' finished second to earn the Gonzo Silver and the USS CONSTELLATION ' S team ' A ' collected enough points to take the Gonzo Gold in the Second Annual Gonzo Olympics. But there were no losers at the Gonzo games . . . only happy sailors.

As the pictures on these pages show, it was no simple ceremony. Complete with all the untold horrors associated with passing the scrutiny of King Neptune and his kangaroo court, the wogs on CONSTELLATION were duly cleansed. In a flight deck ceremony supervised by the shellbacks aboard, the wogs found purification to be a gritty affair. Highlighted by kissing the Royal Baby, crawling through |Chutes of food scaps, and meeting the various jpersonages in Neptune ' s Court, it was a day to remember. 105 m Before the Equator was crossed, tradi- tional event transpired in the hangar bay. On the night of June 11th a steady trickle of pollywog beauties made their way to the scene of the Pollywog Beauty Contest. It was no ordinary contest and these were no ordinary beauties. Each division on the ship had at least one representative for this gala event. Facing a sometimes hostile shellback audience, these beauties managed to keep their poise and charm intact. Sporting a variety of garments from hard hats to nightgowns, they came to dazzle the crowd and hopefully win the coveted spot as the Pollywog Beauty Queen in King Neptune ' s court. K I 108 ' sr-tiflMs mn After it was all over, there were smiles and sighs of relief. It is a ceremony to remember and laugh about for years to come. Everyone can think back on their own individual horrors and have many stories to tell. It is an initiation that no one would want to go through again as a poliwog. When finally the shellback cards are issued to the new shellbacks, they are most assuredly kept in a safe place. And beware to any man that accuses them of being filthy slimey wogs ! 109 iKlCi 110 ■I U  «M i P tfiPPH — «V k:!! CI USO Shows To make a long Summer in the Indian Ocean a little more enjoyable, two separate USO Shows flew out to the Battle Groups for a busy schedule of shows. Scheduled between long flying days, the crew of the CONSTELLATION was entertained by the groups Gary and the Jones Girl, and The Hurmann Burmann Band. Both bands brought a variety of popular music and a feeling of consideration toward the sailors who spent the Summer of ' 80 in the Indian Ocean. Ill 4£jU3tmmm,mmmmmi ■TJ SHIPS VENTRILOQUIST A LOCAL TALENT SHOW liC! UiSSl The Executive Department aboard C0 5 rfiZ 4r 0 consists of four divisions headed by an Administrative Assistant. This department coordinates a good deal of the Administrative workload on CONSTELLATION. It ' s Personnel Office and Captain ' s Office keep service records up to date. The Master-at-Arms force acts as a shipboard police team while the Legal Office handles non-judicial punishment and court martial proceedings as well as a variety of other services such as voting assistance, power of attorney, and customs and immigration. The Print Shop is continually innundated with printing a wide spectrum of material that ranges from the daily Plan of the Day to port information booklets. The Post Office routinely handles large quantities of both incoming and outgoing mail. The Public Affairs Office publishes the Connie Gram and the ship ' s daily newspaper Time and Tides as well as providing a TV nightly news program and various inport tour services. Professional and spiritual counseling are conducted by the Career Counselor ' s Office and the Chaplain ' s Office respectively. The Chaplain ' s aboard CONSTELLATION also conduct daily Church services as well as maintaining a 5000 volume crew ' s library. Also in this department is the ship ' s 3-M Office, which heads the material maintenance program shipwide, and the Special Services group, which offer tours and recreational equipment for use. The Executive Department is a hodge-podge of many important and unrelated shipboard activities. Lt s. Good Administrative Assistant (present) 114 Lt R.

West 124 Master Chief Hancock Master Chief of the Command The Command Master Chief acts as the Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Commanding Officer in matters pertaining to the morale and welfare of the enlisted crewman. He works directly for the Executive Officer and performs special projects and extra-curricular assignments for him. He holds indoctrination lectures for I Division and new personnel reporting aboard the ship for duty. He is a member of many boards and committees, such as the Human Relations Council, Welfare and Recrea- tion Committee, Awards Board, Professional and Striker Boards, Sailor-of-the-Month Board, and is the President of the Chief Petty Officers Mess Advisory Board. He also assists personnel in making applications for, or, provides information on special programs, applying for schools, housing, writing letters to Congressmen, and a myriad of other things. Most of all, the Command Master Chief provides a means of communication when normal channels fail. 125 T«[E GENERAL 3BS QUARTERS 127 ' IV iiMJ Commanding Airwing Nine throughout WestPac ' 80 has been the task of both of the men pictured on this page. Captain M. Munsinger (photo above) completed his successful tour as CAC aboard CONSTELLATION on July Fourth with a flight deck ceremony. His successor, (pictured below) Commander W. Newman has since handled this important job. Not only does the Airwing Commander fly, but he must be an able administrator as well. He must become involved in all the affairs of each of CONSTELLATION ' S squadrons. VA-146 m CDR L. Vernon Commanding Officer VA-146 The VA-146 Blue Diamonds, commanded by CDR Larry J. Vernon, form one of the vital links in the CONSTELLATION AIRWINC NINE team. In addition to the squadron ' s primary mission, day night interdiction and attack, the Blue Diamonds lend their versatility and the abilities of their A-7E Corsair II aircraft a wide range of missions, important to the overall effectiveness of the Carrier Battle Group. Throughout their squadron ' s entire operational spectrum, the Blue Diamonds demonstrate that their motto, Our Gimmick is Performance , is more than just words - it ' s the way they approach each mission they perform. Equipped with the latest addition to the A-7E Corsair II, the Forward Looking infrared Receiver (FLIR), the VA-146 Blue Diamonds performed operational test and evaluation and developed tactics for this new weapon delivery system which will have far- reaching effects on the future of the light attack. During WESTPAC ' 80, the Blue Diamonds extended their enviable safe flying record more than 40,000 hours and 7 V2 years, making them the safest A-7 squadron in combined Navy-Air Force history. During the month of May 1980, the Blue Diamonds established a new record for the greatest number of hours flown by a deployed A-7 squadron when they amassed a total of 1,177 flight hours. The Blue Diamonds are extremely proud of their records, accomplishments, and the contributions they have made to the Connie and CVW-9 team and remember WESTPAC ' 80 as one of their most challenging and successful cruises ever.

Like the boomerang, the Boomers are proud of their capability to strike, return, and strike again. Although home based out of NAS Whidby Island, Washington, VA-165 is not a group of strangers to the CONSTELLATION. Since 1971 the Boomers have provided Connie ' s airwing with pinpoint bombing accuracy and impressive safety statistics. Beside the capability as an all-weather attack aircraft, some of VA-165 ' s Intruders act as tankers for the rest of the Airwing. These mid-air gas stations allow Connie ' s planes to stay airborne for extended periods of time, making them more combat effective and flexible. CDR M.

The WestPac lndian Ocean 1980 Cruise proved to be a new and challenging environment for the SUN KINGS of VAW-116. Throughout the deployment, over 1750 hours were flown with their E-2C Grumman HAWKEYE aircraft. Some thirteen multinational naval exercises were conducted involving units from Britain, Singapore, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Germany. The SUN KING ' S also provided critical services in the early detection of real-world threats, air intercept control, and search and rescue coordination during this long deploy- ment, in the month of May, the SUN KING ' S proved their professionalism once more by breaking a West Coast record of the most monthly flight hours in the E-2. Within thirty days, VAW-116 flew over 385 hours. The 148 enlisted men and 26 officers of VAW-116 are proud of their contribution to making CONSTELLATION the powerful ship that it is. CDR M.

Com- missioned as the first A-7 Corsair II squadron, VA-147 was the first to test the A-7 ECHO in combat. The squadron has twelve of these sophisticated aircraft and sixteen attack pilots. Together, they provide a formidable attack force. Capable of carrying virtually all types of air-to-ground ordnance, the A-7E is ideally suited for: strike, armed reconnais- sance, close air support, and war-at-sea missions as well as being utilized for surface surveillance and tanker service. Maintenance of the many complex aircraft systems and support of on-going flight operations requires the skill of approximately 200 trained enlisted technicians and staff personnel. During WESTPAC ' 80 the Argonauts participated in several major exercises including RIMPAC ' 80 and COPETHUNDER ' 80. The squadron also earned recognition as an operational CV squadron being off-loaded to NAS Cubi Point for the longest period of time.

On the way to these impressive statistics, they surpassed 13,000,14, and 15,000 accident-free hours. They ended the cruise as the safest F-14 squadron in the entire Navy. The Renegades were more than ready for any eventuality in the Indian Ocean.

The Griffins maintained a normal complement of ten Lockheed S-3A Vikings along with the US-3A, a Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD) aircraft used for logistic support of the CO STELLATIO and EISESHOWER Battle Groups. Along with anti-submarine warfare and surveillance missions, the squadron flew the 2000 mile daily trek to the island of Diego Garcia south of GOSZO Station for parts, mail and personnel transport. In the month of May, VS-38 flew 938 hours, a record for deployed VS squadrons and in August they surpassed the 20,000 hour accident free flying mark, representing over seven years of safe operations. A world record was set for the longest divert when upon failure of an arresting hook one of the squadron ' s planes diverted to Diego Garcia, a trip of more than 2,000 miles. Amassing over 4,000 flight hours during the cruise, the squadron centurians for the cruise number over 25 aircrewmen. CDR R. Mvers Commanding Officer S-38 VS-38 OFFICERS: (front roMr L-R) Ltjg .

Loud music pounds mercilessly from the small speakers of many portable tape players. A patch- work of different colored towels and vacationing frisbees cover the dark coarse surface. It ' s not the Riviera, but it ' s not bad. Carved out of a gap in parked planes, lies a steel moveable beach. Although void of bikini-clad beauties and white cushiony sand, its populari- ty continues. Whenever a bright sunny day in combination with a non-flying day presents itself, it doesn ' t take long for Steel Beach to come alive. Letters get written, thoughts become clearer, tans get tanner, and life in general seems a little more tolerable than it was just a few hours before. — PI CONNIE ' S KARATE TEAM FINELY HONED AND READY Amidst shrieks, growls and bloodcurdling yells, flurries of kicks and punches, feet flash and hands shoot like bullets toward their mark.

Then they become karate-kas or karate practitioners. Their dojo or gym is Connie ' s Forecastle. This team honed and sharpened their martial arts skill, almost every evening, throughout the deployment . . . and while inport Subic, was tested . . . and readily took on, and blitzed teams from Clark Air Base and a Marine Detachment from Subic. Finely-honed and ready, the ' Connie ' s ' team easily won the overall team competition that was held September 25 at San Miguel Communication Base. In addition, ICFN Ernest Wright of Operations Electronics (OE) Division and SK3 Andy Bonilla of S-6 Division took second places in the Brown Belt and Green Belt Division, respectively. Some members of the team also took on a squad of Republic of Korea soldiers in friendly goodwill bouts, when ' Connie ' visited Pusan.

Put these facilities in the hands of capable and compassionate doctors and corpsman, and the. secret of this department ' s success is revealed. Besides the daily sick call, the Medical Department provides such services as sanitary inspections of the ship ' s galleys and dining facilities, routine and periodic physical examinations and group instruction of first aid and personal hygiene. Along with the crew of CONSTELLATION, personnel aboard escort ships and even some nearby merchants have received emergency medical care from this fine organization. Its Medical Response Team is on call twenty-four hours a day to respond immediately to any medical emergency on the ship.

Throughout CONSTELLATION ' S two ocean transit, the ship ' s quartermasters continually utilize many means of determining the position of the ship. These include as traditional methods as celestial navigation to as modern a means as satellite fixes. This small department is also the maintainer of the official ship ' s Deck Log, which records all course and speed changes as well as unusual occurrences or special events. Due to their expertise in shiphandling, the quartermasters are also called upon to steer the ship during an underway replenishment.

Hammer- berg 201 ti il ' kMI Wim eer Day Bottoms Up to Tradition Rarely has the U.S. Navy seen fit to part with its 66-year-old tradition of prohibiting the use of alcohol on board ship, but on August 2, it did just that when two cans of beer were authorized for each of the officers and crew of the CONSTELLATION. The beers were provided compliments of the Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Thomas B. Hayward, via the Secretary of the Navy, the Honorable Edward Hidalgo. Meant as a gesture of appreciation, the beer provided a welcome break in a tough routine. The ship ' s flight deck was made available for a day of relaxation and fun as hamburgers sizzled on an assortment of cooking grills and frisbees soared under sunny skies. The festive occasion commenced with a brief ceremony that featured RADM William E. Ramsey and Captain Edney. They were joined by Command Master Chief Hancock (crewmember with the greatest number of years active duty-28 years), MMl Roeseler (crewmember with the longest onboard longevity-11 years), and AMEAA Duane Lewis (newest recruit); in tapping the first cold ones of the day. Tradition went by the boards that day to recognize an extended at-sea period of 110 days while deployed in support of national policy in the Indian Ocean. vj?i-; 3 ' ' ' E. 205 3 I I ■■ii M I : Cheers! Two beers for every man was the rule. Lines formed behind tables ladened with beer cans. People all over the flight deck were seen ceremoniously drinking their first beer in months. Varied styles were everywhere apparent. There were chuggers, swishers, slow sippers, double-fisted drinkers, and social drinkers. Like a dog seeks his favorite spot to gnaw at a bone, sailors were making their way to their own special place on the flight deck to savor this unique experience. And for the group of sailors that didn ' t care for a taste of suds, there was provided a variety of soft drinks to accompany the barbecued food. .1 TyAVr ■••- S: ' jV«f;- I V 200 I The Beginning of the End tr ' . 17th startec , iust another day of ;,an Ocean sers CONSTELLATION a, jp.

Known for a deep personal concern in the well-being of the people in the Navy, Admiral Hayward talked and listened to many of the crew, from the most junior to the most senior personnel. Along with touring work spaces and observ- ing the tempo of operations, he addressed the crew on closed circuit TV. He came not only to observe but to also pay tribute to a group of ships that were carrying out a difficult but important mission in our National Policy.

With its harbor constantly filled with anchored merchant ships from all continents of the world, Singapore is both romantic and business like. The Lion City is characterized by sparkling clean streets full of people of many different origins. It ' s landscape shows the influence of both Eastern and Western culture. A paradise for tourists, Singapore ' s international flavor is evidenced in the breath of its marketplaces and thousands of restaurants with cuisines from all over the world. Most of the crew of CONSTELLATION W agree that the beauty and enchantment of a place such as Singapore increases tenfold after one hundred ten days at sea. 217 iH ' j - : IIlM . S |H« -_.

The architecture of the city, being so varied and changing, could be used for backdrops for movies with settings anyplace in the world. It is possible to travel from China to India to England all in the course of a twenty minute ride through Sin- gapore ' s streets. Pagodas, skyscrapers. Creek architectured buildings, and a bustling Chinatown; all elbow each other for room under the Singapore sky. -. «?« ■Like any other port that CONSTELLATION visited, it is the people of the area that make it special. One isn ' t likely to forget the image of some of the people like those shown on these pages. Years from now, the price payed for a jade necklace will be inconsequential as compared to the visual imprint registered from witnessing for a brief moment other lives in a land very far from home. It is especially true in Singapore, where the human family lives in co-existence like nowhere else in the world. te I Ihtf lYlrfi i It ' ' 1 - . • . .... • ' . ' - m The crew of CONSTELLATION was lucky enough to be visiting Singapore during its National Day celebration. On August 9th, Singapore celebrated a day not very unlike the Fourth of July celebration in the United States. It was a day of national unity marked by parades through the streets. To cap off the day, a huge celebration and military display was staged at the city ' s stadium (above photos) with the grand finale consisting of a breathtaking fireworks display over the ship cluttered harbor. The week CONSTELLATION spent in Singapore meant different things to different people. For some it was a chance to be reunited with their wives for a short magical vacation to be enjoyed after a long lonely Summer. For others it was a place to spend most of those paychecks that kept piling up over the long Indian Ocean days. Jewels, tapestries, and cameras cleaned out many a wallet that week. For others it was a golden opportunity to tease the palate with cuisines unknown to Navy cooks. Some sailors exper- imented on restaurants with food from all over the world while others found friendly gastron- omical refuge in the familiarity of the local McDonalds. Whatever were some of the things Singapore meant to some, it did mean one thing for all. It was a relaxing end to a difficult CONZO Summer and a shaft of light that showed the way to the pot of gold that was waiting on the pier in San Diego some eight weeks away. 124 .1 Operations CDR |. Jacanin Operations Officer (former) The tasking of the Operations Department is as varied as it is important. The essence of CONSTELLATION ' S fighting capability is supported by this large 250-man department. It is divided into different functions which each provide their own input into making an aircraft carrier combat ready. The largest of the functions, OE Division, maintains all the ship ' s radars, communication gear, computerized data systems, and other related equipment. The Combat Direction Center (CDC) co-ordinates and controls air, surface, and sub-surface warfare. CViC,OS, and OP Divisions all support intelligence gathering, while CATCC serves as CONSTELLATION ' S own floating airplane control tower during nighttime and low visibility air operations. The Meteorological Office (OA Division) provides the ship up-to-the-minute weather information. Behind the scenes, all of these functions have helped give CVW-9 Airwing the support necessary to make CONSTELLATION a versatile and powerful ship in today ' s multi-threat environment. CDR D.

The nature of aircraft carrier operations is such that a vigorous and effective safety program is not only important, but absolutely essential. Monitoring all aspects of shipboard safety, the Safety Department continually makes CONSTELLATION a safer place to work and live. In aviation safety, Connie ' s small but effective safety team has waged an all-out war against FOD (foreign object debris), a crippler of expensive aircraft engines. Although safety is an all-hands evolution, it takes a group such as CONSTELLATION ' S Safety Department to make it a lifesaver. CDR S.

I ' m anxious to see how much the kids have really grown. Nervous a bit, it ' s really very hard to explain; Hope you ' re calm, I ' ll try my best to show no strain. Then when we touch, a tear may trickle your little cheek; I ' ll wipe it dry, I ' ll hold you tight, there ' s no need for us to speak. You ' ll say I missed you. I ' ll say Me too, so very much. We ' ll be sensitive, and thankful then for each small touch. Finally here, Hi there kids, I missed you a bunch, Dad ' s glad to be home. Hi Daddy, why didn ' t you tell us you would be gone so very long? Too small to relate, they now are glad, but want to know, Are you home to stay, don ' t leave again Dad — please don ' t go. My wife is smiling, patting heads, she says Now that ' s enough. Turn loose of Dad, lend a hand, come on, let ' s carry his stuff. Volunteers all three, the little one most of all. Saying, Dad, why did you hardly ever, ever call? Gee, this car I wonder if I can still drive. It ' s good to be home, feeling healthy, and still alive. Mom sits close, her hand gently rubbing my thigh. She ' s close to tears, but she is trying not to cry. The house is nice, pleasingly comfortable, I missed it so; I knew I would, I dreaded the day when I had to go. The aroma of food, a feast of a dinner our Mom now serves; She watches me eat, she knows I enjoy those spices and tangy herbs. Sitting now by the fire, a family group, catching up on the past; Opening presents from Dad, Those kids, they open so fast! Oh Dad, oh Dad, thanks alot for these presents pretty and fine ; My wife, Thank you dear, you ' re so thoughful and very kind. Time gone by, a day started early, none could hardly wait; Dad, you could sleep tomorrow until it is very, very late. Good night little darlings, you ' re really sweet, my how you grew! Sleep well now - sweet children ' s dreams Dad wishes for you. The fire flickering low, a yellow color, a warming glow; A time for love, those many missed nights, we start so slow. Our love expressed, a day so fine, and now some rest; I thank you Lord, for safe passage home - we stood the test. R. JONES ' 80 - - - g-- ' ' — - ■■' ■- ■— .

The services of this department are as varied as those of a shopping mall. Supply department institutions include parts warehouses, clothing stores, cigarette smoke shop, tailor and cobbler shops, barber shops, laundry and dry cleaning facilities, four restaurants, a hamburger fast-food operation, and a bank. Supply has the responsibility to procure, receive, stow, issue, and account for most of the material necessary to operate CONSTELLATION. Whether it is aircraft parts or a haircut, Connie ' s Supply organization promises satisfaction guaranteed. Throughout the long Indian Ocean at-sea period, CONSTELLATION ' S entire crew depended on the sound management of the Supply Department to keep the ship going.

An aircraft carrier ' s mission is the ability to launch and recover aircraft anywhere on the high seas, regardless of the environmental conditions. The coordination to accomplish this day after day is nothing short of miraculous. It ' s an effort that transcends miracles. Predicated on teamwork and conviction, flying planes on and off the Connie has become her bread and butter. The following few pages depict at a glance at what the order of business is on the roof . 259 ■;n T -iJi- -i j if JI ij5s v 7;Ff snr E iiff«irii :ErF:3i 7ifft f- In the brothel-like glow of a pitching flight deck descends one of Airwing Nine ' s returning planes, it ' s return is accompanied by a deafening roar from it ' s engines and the groan of an arresting gear that heralds another successful trap. Out of a ink black sky they return one by one. Each landing seeming so dangerous yet each one successful. Operating planes at night is as frightening to watch as it is essential to be able to achieve. With the coordination of CATCC in the Combat Direction Center, pilots are guided on and off Connie ' s deck. It ' s a little piece of ocean where all the bright flashes, blinking lights, tempestuous noises, and sometimes bitter winds combine in amazing synchronization of time and space. : 362 CONSTELLATION ' S flight deck was put to a special challenge this cruise. In the four months CONSTELLATION spent in the Indian Ocean, both day and night were characterized by poor environmental conditions. Essential to the mission of the ship was the ability to launch and recover planes daily. With pitching and slippery decks Connie accomplished her mission safely and constantly. It is a credit not only to the pilots who braved these conditions, but also to the multitude of brightly colored jerseys that put them in the air and helped them home. In 263 11 Yiir ' ' }pi ' : •V. .-I- •■' m :; '  !i . ■■■I ■■■■■«f M-i . After a short four-day transit from the Philippines, CONSTELLATION lumbered into the port of Pusan Korea on a magnificent Autumn morning. Met by a host of both Korean and American dignitaries, the ship began its four day stay. Known as one of the best shopping areas in the world, Pusan Korea ' s streets became inundated with a sea of American faces. For many it was the first trip to South Korea. Even after one afternoon of cruising down the crowded streets of Pusan, the character of the Korean people becomes somewhat visible. One of the most striking things about the Korean people is their almost incessant activity. Everyone, from the smallest child to ' dottering old men, are involved in some- thing. Whether it be working or playing, it always seems to demand their total attention. Uniformed school children move in tight bunches through the narrow streets carrying book-filled satchels. Boys are dressed in dark blue blazers with cloth-billed caps. Girls wear blue-pleated skirts and white socks rolled into plump ringlets around their ankles. Babies bounce on their mothers backs as the world around them provides continual amazement. It did for us too! Women crouch near stalls of fish, seaweed f and vegetables unknown to most Western tables. Rows of tailor shops, brass stores, and leather shops line the street boasting real bargain prices. The streets are filled with countless bicycles and maniac cab drivers who unflinch- ingly propel their vehicle through chaotic traffic circles time and time again. More prayers have probably been said in Korean cabs than in their churches. Even with sprinklings of Western in- fluence readily seen, Korea has managed to retain the essence of its rich heritage. When traveling through the countryside of this Republic, it is as if viewing life centuries before. Koreans are a proud people comfort- able with existence in this kind of duality. With the mixture of modern and ancient society along with a gentle people of colorful customs, it is a country of both change and permanence. ■-Ji T Through the eyes of children lies a world unknown to the wisest of men ' .66 JI. j : rr II II _ !68 . . . ' . ' 269 There weren ' t many sailors who resisted the temptation to spend their last dollar in Korea. Though many forms of diversions were available, shopping commanded unrivaled popularity. Just a trip through Pusan ' s international Market could last for days. Athletic shoes, Adidas bags, and three-piece tai lored suits were being toted around town by many sailors in Santa Glaus fashion. One of the many tailors in town claimed that during CONSTELLATION ' S short stay his shop had over one thousand orders for suits to be made. Homecoming and Christmas gifts were bought in massive quantities right up until Connie pulled out of Pusan on another bright and sunny morning. And from that day on, everyone began to get the feeling that we were slowly heading home. 270 _£l£l A Itr-t-L- i - . fc f-- l-«.-i,- ■ «? ; t td 271 ■fTTTtmri rmi ' ■rM iT ' iin r mi iiwi ii ir n i k- The Connie Way The crew of the USS CONSTELLATION may have many memories and hours of new sea stories, but ranking among the most prou d achievements are the variety of ambitious charitable programs in the ship ' s ports-of-call. Over seven-thousand one-hundred dollars was contributed to various orphanages, clinics, schools, adoption agencies, churches, servicemen ' s centers, and missionaries. In Olon- gapo, sailors from the Connie completely renovated the John XXIII Community Center. Captain Edney turned over eight pallets of Project Handclasp materials to Bishop Byrne for various programs in the Subic area, in Pusan Korea, Chaplain John Fitzgerald led working parties of sailors and Marines who painted the St. Francis and Dong Son Won orphanages and prepared their fields for the Fall cabbage crop. A visit to Seoul by Senior Chaplain Jack Seibert (pictured above) delivered a check to the Amerasian Society , an orphanage for American- Korean children who will be adopted in to CONUS families. The WESTPAC programs have made such an impact on Connie ' s sailors that they have asked the Chaplains to arrange for orphanage visits in the U.S. From what they ' ve shown, the Connie Way is a caring one. In ijM— - HS-6 r(i ' elicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron SIX Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron SIX, homeported at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, continued to provide outstanding support to Carrier Air Wing Nine and USS CONSTELLATION during Westpac ' 80. Utilizing the SH-3H Sea King helicopter the squadron was primarily responsible for providing close-in Anti-Submarine Warfare support for the ship during the cruise. The HS-6 Indians also provided the essential planeguard and lifeguard helicopter, which ensured the safety of Air Wing Nine ' s aircrews during sustained flight operations and guarded against the ever present possibility of a man overboard. The squadron ' s lifesaving record was impressive. A squadron helicopter plucked two A-6 Intruder aircrewmen from the waters of the Indian Ocean after they were forced to eject from their aircraft. On that same day another HS-6 aircraft rescued the four man crew of one of the squadron ' s own helicopters, which had entered the water after a power loss, plus the three passengers that were aboard. Also rescued was a five-man lifeboat crew that had inadvertently entered the water after their boat had overturned while trying to assist the helicopter in the water. The total rescued for that single day was fourteen. HS-6 helicopters also picked up two men who had fallen overboard on two seperate occasions and rescued the four man crew of an SH-2F Sea Sprite helicopter that was forced to ditch in the ocean near Hawaii. In addition HS-6 was lauded for its humanitarian action in the successful medical evacutions of five injured people from ships of various nationalites. Often the weather conditions for these med vacs was chal lenging but the squadrons aircrews performed flawlessly and their timely action was credited with avoiding fatalities in more than one case. Indian Airlines was in full swing and the squadron transported fleet personnel throughout the task force while providing diversified logistic support. The squadron proved its flexibility by moving people, parts and mail on short notice. Westpac ' 80 will be a cruise to remember for HS-6, led by Commander George E. Hurley Jr. with Lieutenant Commander Robert E. Leonard, Executive Officer. With all the challenges, trials, and tribulations perhaps foremost in their minds will be the twenty-five lives they saved.

MiHiliei [ 1 Training 281 C t.ffiija w 9 jk The Training Department is a vital part of Connie ' s organization. Though one of the smallest departments, the responsibilities are quite large. All of this large ship ' s personnel receive one form of formal training very regularly. All oncoming sailors receive a two week indoctrination course after reporting for duty. Periodically during inport periods personnel are sent to short schools which range from vital survival schools such as firefighting to more technical and narrowly scoped training consistent with their field of knowledge. The Educational Services Office provides advancement in rate programs as well as information on college level education. During the course of a deployment many sailors take the opportunity to complete their high school education or take one of the many college level courses that are taught onboard. A contingent of civilian instructors go on cruise with CONSTELLATION to make possible this educational opportunity. With the rapid turnover of personnel normally experienced on Navy ships, the function of the Training Department becomes essential for the safe and effective operation of the ship. COR C.

This includes the Terrier Guided Missile Complex with its associated launching systems and radars, as well as the procurement, handling, stowage, accountability, maintenance and issue of all ordnance for the ships strike force, defense and security. Under the direction of the Gun Boss , the department accomplishes its volatile mission through five major groups within the department: the Aviation Ordnance Group made up of the four G Divisions, the Terrier Battery composed of SAM and FOX Divisions, W Division, which is the special weapons arm of the department, the Marine Detachment which provides internal security for the ship, comprises the landing team and manages the brig, and the Explosive Ord- nance Disposal Detachment whose ticklish business is to render safe any unexploded ordnance considered hazardous.

Espinoza riHiMMMI 1 • I The Tiger Cruise when it finally was time to head back to the friendly shores of sunny San Diego, the crew of CONSTELLATION was treated to many special visitors. Hundreds of fathers and sons of Connie crewmen flew to Hawaii to meet the ship and experience the last leg of Westpac ' 80 aboard. The week long Tiger Cruise, as it is called, proved to be a time of eye-filling wonder and appreciation of what carrier shipboard life is all about. The tigers got an opportunity to witness actual flight operations as well as replentishment at sea. The ship was theirs to explore and to learn about. Tours were regularly scheduled to acquaint the newcomers with many facets of this large ship. Also included in the week of festivities was a boxing smoker and karate demonstration. Although the tigers ranged from eight years old to eighty years old, there seemed to be something for everyone. Perhaps the intended aim of The Tiger Cruise was summed up most concisely by a letter received from an appreciative father. He wrote, Naturally to me, the most important aspect of the cruise was the opportunity to see my son in his work assignment. I saw him contributing his share in your overall effort, and I was gratified by what 1 saw. Usually, we never see this aspect of our children, or a son doing a man ' s job. I 301 r 2 wtnamm ■■ - -j BM,- — - ►L I I 303 I02 H! ' ' ,. t? After seven days aboard a ship at sea, an appreciation of the homecoming to San Diego was gained by more than just the crew. For many tigers, it was incomprehensible to think of being at sea for much longer than a couple weeks. The idea of a cruise as long as Westpac ' 80 was staggering. So as Connie neared the California coast, the atmosphere onboard was transformed into one similar to the night before Christmas. The waiting would soon be over and Connie ' s Christmas would be celebrated early on October 15th. 304 PHOTO CONTEST Place I n « % 4. J H LT John Mader :-% IGDR R.V.

The last time the Connie was at the North Island pier the mood was quite different. Connie wasn ' t leaving home on this bright sunny October morning, but was returning with a measure of pride and relief. In February on the day she left there was only uncertainty and apprehen- sion. The job was done now. The ship had performed admirably and loved ones were ready to claim their special sailor back from the sea. And when the brows were finally opened, a huge sigh that had been stored for months filled the atmos- phere. m ■K Htae Sone L 313 ' ' MfP -i,it . V MIKE HARVEY j k- VI 317 Cruisebook Staff Capl.
