'I - 'U , t I dv KNORPACI in September 1986. In early September, the ship spent live days in Vancouver, British Columbia where many members of the crew experienced the wonders of the world at EXPO '86, and in late September the ship spent four days in the beautiful northem port of Anchorage, Alaska: the first can'ier to ever visit that port. During these port visits, Connie hosted over 15,000 visitors. During Connie's iinal NORPAC port visit. an estimated 45,000 visitors walked her decks while America's Flagship celebrated the Navy's 211th birthday in Seattle, Wash. Connie returned home to Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego in time for her 25th birthday. On Oct. 27, 1986, Constellation celebrated her Silver Anniversary on board with a concert, ceremony and a giant cake. Four months into 1987, on April 11. Constellation once again made her way to the Western Pacitic and Indian Oceans. But this cruise, her 15th major deployment, took her up into the North Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Oman, where Connie helped to keep the sea lanes open, to make it free for ships to travel in intemationalwaters. Like all American warships, Connie is American soil, repre- senijng the U.S. in any corner of the globe at a moment's notice. The power that she and her carrier battle group project will keep Constellation a major element in the front line of America's defense well into the 21st century. Answering her country's call on the oceans of the world, Connie truly lives up to her nick- name, 'America's Flagship...

CVM-il-its Mister? , -ee EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.EEEEEEEEEEE5-22.555-55555525555-E EEEEE5 Setting precedents is second nature for Conn1e's air Wing By J03 Rick Jennings The awesome 'bite behind Conste1lation's bark comes from 85 aircraft in nine squadrons of Carrier Air Wing 14. Consisting of two fighter and two fighter! attack squadrons, one attack squadron, one early warning squadron, one electronic counter- measures squadron, one anti-submarine squadron and one heli- copter squadron, Carrier Air Wing I4 gives Constellation the abil- ity to defend her country's interest around the globe at a mo- ment's notice. . The history of Carier Air Wing 14 is a long and illustrious one. In the 37 years since its establishment, the air wing has seen ac- tion in the Korean Conflict and Vietnam. making a total of seven combat deployments. Established in July 1950 at Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego to meet the tncresing demands placed upon aviation by the Korean Conflict. Air Wing 14 f'u'st deployed aboard Kearsarge. Subsequent deployments were to the Atlantic and Mediterranean followed by a Trip around the Hom aboard Ranger in 1958. lhiture Westem Pacific cruises would see the air wing embarked in Ranger, Oriskany. Lexington, Constellation and Enterprise. In August 1964, while embarked in Constellation. CVW-14 conducted the first retaliatory air strikes against North Vietnam. Subsequent combat deployments were made in Ranger and Constellation. In July 1971, the Enterprise!CVW-14 team was formed and the wing made its stxth and seventh combat deployments. On January 27, 1973. Air Wing 14 squadrons flew the last combat sorties of the Vietnam Conflict and retumed home in June of that year. Setting precedents would become second nature to CVW- 14. In June 1973, CVW-14 became the first operational air wing to receive the F-14A I'omcat. In September 1974, the CVW- I4lEnterprlse team deployed for its first peacetime deployment in 10 years. On April 29, 1975, CVW-14 was again involved in Vietnam. providing support and air cover for the evacuation of Americans from South Vietnam during Operation Frequent Winds. On July 30, 1976, CVW-14 again embarked in Enterprise for a deployment to the Westem Pacific and Indian Oceans. Dtuing the deployment. the team participated in numerous exercises in- cluding the highly successful Kangaroo II with the Australian and New Zealand navies. The air wing retumed home on March 28, 1977. During the next deployment aboard Enterprise on April 4, 1978, the wing participated in various exercises which included RIMPAC-78, Cope Thunder 78-5, Beacon South. Merlion VI and READIEX 1-79. Exercise Beacon South was a memorable event for Air Wing 14 as it was followed by a. long awaited port call to Perth. Westem Australia. The deployment that year ended on October 30 as did the CVW-14lEnterprise team. In 1979 while assigned to Coral Sea and in work-ups for an- other WESTPAC deployment. two U.S. Marine Corps fighter squadrons. .VMFA-323 and VMFA-531 IF-4 Phantom Ill joined CVW- 14. This marked the first time since World War II that two xialrine fighter squadrons comprised the tighter arm of a Navy air E- ' CVW-14 embarked in Coral Sea in November 1979 enroute to the Westem Pacific. Extended operations in WESTPAC and the Indian Ocean were highlighted by a continous 102 day at sea pe- riod on Gonzo Station in the Arabian Gulf The deployment end- ed on June 12, 1980. During the next tumaround cycle. the Marine fighter squad- rons were replaced by two U.S. Navy fighter squadrons, VF-21 and VF-154 IF-4 Phantom Ill. On August 20, 1981, CVW-14 again embarked in Coral Sea for another deployment. ln addition to meeting various contingency commitments in the Indian Ocean and South China Sea, Coral Sea!CVW-14 conducted unique win- ter operations in the Sea of Japan before retumlng home in March 1982.

With the departure of HC-1 fDet Threej and the departure and subsequent decommissioning of VFP-63, the composition of CarrierAir Wing 14 changed during the summer and fall of 1982. The HC-1 Det was replaced by HS-12, giving the wing its first intfgnigl ASW-dedicated asset since operating from Enterprise in . On March 21, 1983, Carrier Air Wing 14 deployed aboard Coral Sea for an around the world deployment that would termi- nate 12 months later in Norfolk, Va., the new homeport for Coral Sea. In the course of this deployment the team participated in numerous exercises including: FLEETEX 83- 1, a three carrier bat- tle group exercise: READIEX 833 Cope Thunder 83-2 in the Philippine Islands: Merlion 83-2, an exercise with the Singapore Navy and Air Force: and TRIDENTE 83, a multinational exercise with five NATO member nations. While going through the next ttu'naround training period. Carrier Air Wing 14 received two squadrons of FA-18 Homets. the F-14 Tomcat to replace the F-4 Phantom, and a new squad- ron of EA-GB Prow1ers. This training period culminated in CVW- l4's participation in the first Battle Group Evaluation IBGEJ on the West coast. On February 21, 1985, CVW-14 deployed aboard Constellation for the first operational deployment of the Homet. As well as meeting real-world contingencies in the Indian Ocean P1115 exercises with the Australian and omani Air Forces. the wing participated in an air wing composition study.
