V (HMilD .ca - le name ENTERPRISE is inherited from seven former ships of the U.S. Navy, including the famous Big E of World War II — the indestructible attack carrier that earned 20 battle stars againt the Japanese in the Pacific. The latest Big E was commissioned on Nov. 25, 1961. The new carrier went to sea )an. 12, 1 962 for her shakedown cruise, finishing April 1 5 with the highest score ever attained by a new aircraft carrier. Carrier Air Wing Six came aboard June 22, 1962, to form, along with ENTER- PRISE, the most powerful seaborne unit in existence at that time. In August, ENTERPRISE joined the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean for her first deployment. Following her return to Norfolk on Oct. 11,1 962, she was assigned for a month to the U.S. Navy blockade involved in the Cuban crisis. After returning in September 1 963 from a second Sixth Fleet deployment, the Big E alternated periods in port with deployments at sea with the Second Fleet until Feb. 8, 1964, when she once again returned to the Sixth Fleet in the Mediterranean. On May 1 3, the world ' s first nuclear-powered task force was formed, bringing ENTERPRISE together with the guided missile cruiser USS LONG BEACH and the guided missile frigate USS BAINBRIDCE. On |uly 31 , the three ships were designated Task Force One and sent on Operation Sea Orbit, a 49,190 kilometer (30,565 mile) voyage around the world. ENTERPRISE and her nuclear-powered sisters performed a new feat in naval history by steaming 52,465 engine kilometers (32,600 miles) with- out a single replenishment or refueling. In October 1964, ENTERPRISE returned to Newport News Shipbuild- ing and Drydock Company for her first refueling and overhaul. She was ready for sea again the following Spring. The nuclear-powered surface force soon transferred to the U.S. Pacific Fleet. With Carrier Air Wing Nine reporting aboard in September, the Big E joined the Seventh Fleet on Nov. 21, 1965, and became the first nuclear-powered warship to engage in combat. During the next six months, Big E plans carried out bombing raids against the enemy mi litary transport and supply areas, bridges and coastal shipping in Vietnam. ENTERPRISE concluded ber first combat cruise, arriving at her home port of Alameda, Calif., on June 21, 1966. ENTERPRISE again left the United States on Nov. 19 to rejoin the Seventh Fleet. Following a brief call at Pearl Harbor, she sailed for her second combat cruise in the Gulf of Tonkin. Air Wing Nine planes were again in the air over North Vietnam by Dec. 1 8, beginning six months of combat. On March 27, 1967, ENTERPRISE was awarded the battle Efficiency E, her first award as part of the Pacific Fleet. The Cruise ended in June with 13,400 battle missions flown, and ENTERPRISE returned to Alameda July 6. On Oct. 9, the Secretary of the Navy announced that the Big E had won the Navy Unit Commendation during her 1966-67 deployment. After Christmas at Alameda, ENTERPRISE sailed again on Jan. 3, 1968, for her third Western Pacific Cruise.

HISTORY I 5 On Jan. 23, ENTERPRISE was suddenly ordered into the Sea of Japan, following the seizure of USS PUEBLO by North Korea. She remained in the area nearly a month as the flagship of the specially-created Task Force 71. Relieved in the Sea of Japan on Feb. 16, she proceeded to Yankee Station, commencing combat operations on Feb. 22. On June 26, the Big E and her veteran air wing finished their third combat deployment. ENTERPRISE arrived in Alameda on July 18, made a brief call in her homeport, and departed July 27 for minor overhaul at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Washington. She left Bremerton on Sept. 28. After Christmas in port, she departed California on Jan., 6. 1969, Arriving in Pearl Harbor on Jan. 1 1, when she began preparing for her operational readiness inspection off the FHawaiian Islands. On Jan. 14, the ship was struck by an unfortunate and untimely disaster. Fire and explosions resulted after a missile on an aircraft on the flight deck was accidently set off, costing the lives of 28 crewmen, the loss of 15 aircraft, and extensive damage to her flight deck. The ship returned to Pearl Harber Naval Shipyard. Crewmen and Pearl Harber employees began immediate repairs on the Big E . The efforts and cooperation of these men were such that the world ' s mightiest carrier was again ready for sea on March 5. After five days of sea trials, the Big E departed Hawaii on March 1 1 , en route to Yankee Station for her fourth Vietnam tour. She reached the Gulf of Tonkin March 31, beginning immediate air strikes against the enemy. When the North Koreans shot down a Navy EC-121 reconnaissance aircraft on April 1 6, ENTERPRISE was once again ordered into the Sea of Japan, where she was joined by three other carriers and numerous sup- port ships. As flagship for the newly reinstated Task Force 71, ENTER- PRISE became an integral part of the largest task force assemblied in more than 25 years. ENTERPRISE returned to Alameda in July 1 969 and soon sailed for her new home port in Norfolk, Va., arriving in August 1969. From Norfolk, the giant carrier returned to the Newport News Ship- building and Drydock Company where she underwent her second refuel- ing and overhaul. Having been refitted and refueled, ENTERPRISE com- pleted her sea trials in January 1 971 and then began the trip around South America for her home port at Alameda, Calif. In July, ENTERPRISE arrived at the Subic Bay Naval Base in the Repub- lic of the Philippines, and later that month, began her first line period of the cruise in the Gulf of Tonkin. After a six-day port visit to Singapore in September, ENTERPRISE and the nuclear-powered guided missile frigate USS BAINBRIDGE com- menced a transit into the Indian Ocean. During this transit. Task Group 77.5 demonstrated the quick response of nuclear vessels, conducted extensive training operations, and collected hydrographic and meteoro- logical data. After ENTERPRISE ' S run into the Indian Ocean and the Java Sea, she returned to Subic Bay on Oct. 2. After a 10-day stay, she returned to Yankee Station in the Gulf of Tonkin. On Dec. 1 0, while on the line, ENTERPRISE received orders to proceed to the Malacca Straits south of Singapore and await further orders. This movement was a result of the Indo-Pakistani War, which had begun a few days earlier. While awaiting further orders, ENTERPRISE was joined by several destroyers and a helicopter carrier. This task force became Contingency Force, Seventh Fleet, with ENTERPRISE as its flagship. Shortly after its formation, the task force was ordered to proceed into the Indian Ocean. On Jan, 7, 1972, ENTERPRISE received orders to cease operations in the Indian Ocean and proceed to Subic Bay. ENTERPRISE ended her fifth West-Pac deployment and headed home, arriving in Alameda Feb. 12. On Sept. 12,1 972, ENTERPRISE departed Alameda for her sixth com- bat deployment to Southeast Asia. The arrival of 1 973 brought good news to ENTERPRISE and the world, the announcement of a cease-fire in Vietnam.

Above: Mrs. William B. frank, wife of the Honorable William B. Frank, former Secretary of the Navy, christening Enterprise during launching ceremonies, 24 September 1960. The name ENTERPRISE has been part of Naval history since its beginning in 1 775. Eight ships have carried the name into battle, from the first ENTERPRISE, a 70-ton sloop captured from the British in 1775, to the nuclear pow ered attack air- craft carrier commissioned in 1961 . The latest EN- TERPRISE takes up a proud tradition set forth by her seven illustrious predecessors. The first ENTERPRISE was captured by Benedict Arnold from the British and was used to patrol the waters of Lake Chaplain and the Saint Lawrence River. The first ENTERPRISE, a 70-ton sloop, was re- placed by an eight-gun schooner, the second EN- TERPRISE. She served the Navy briefly, however, and mainly as a cargo ship. The third ENTERPRISE was a 12-gun schooner built at Baltimore, Md., From December 1799 to February 1 801 , with a frigate CONSTELLATION , she patrolled the West Indies, capturing and destroying several French ships which were threatening Ameri- can commercial shipping. The third ENTERPRISE spent the rest of her ca- reer in equally successful deployment, for six years n the Mediteranean, again protecting American commercial ships, and in the War of 1812, patrolling the United States ' east coast for invading British ships, After two other deployments, one in the Mediterranean and one in the Caribbean, her career came to an end in 1823. The fourth ENTERPRISE, built in 1 831 , spent the majority of her commission protecting North Ameri- can interests off the troubled shores of South Amer- ica. During her active days, she also traveled from South America ' s east coast to her west coast by way of Japan and the Pacific Ocean while carrying the honorable Edmund Roberts, who was negotiating treaties with countries in the Far East. From 1874-1909, the fifth ENTERPRISE was commissioned and decommissioned three times. During this time she made cruises to Europe, South America, Japan, and Australia. Her last 17 years were spent as a training ship for the Public Marine School in Massachusetts, taking summer cruises to England and Portugal. The sixth ENTERPRISE, in the service of the Second Naval district, performed harbor tug duties at Newport, Rhode Island. The seventh ENTERPRISE, an 827-foot 4-inch aircraft carrier, avoided destruction early in her career at Pearl Harbor when she was delayed at Wake Island by bad weather. Following the December 7th raid by the Japanese, the seventh ENTERPRISE took up patrol off Hawaii, and her planes sank a Japanese sub- marine on December 10th. Throughout the rest of World War II, with occa- sio nal time out for repairs, the Seventh ENTER- PRISE was engaged in many major battles and played a definite part in the United States ' eventual victory in the Pacific. Serving as a flagship for Admiral Halsey, and engaging in such well known major battles as the raid on Tokyo and the Battle of Midway where many Japanese ships were lost, including four carriers, the seventh ENTERPRISE continued her career as a distinguished and formidable American warship. She also instigated a new type of carrier warfare — night fighting. For the rest of her operations for the last years of war, the seventh ENTERPRISE used this method effectively. On May 14, 1945, a Japanese suicide plane dove into ENTERPRISE ' S forward elevator destroying it and starting fires. After repairs in Puget Sound, she returned veterans to New York from the European Theatre from September 1 945 to January 1 946, and was decommissioned on February 17, 1947. SIXIH LMLKl ' RISt SEVENTH ENTERPRISE HISTORY I 7 In March 1 973, ENTERPRISE earned her second Battle Efficiency E tor attack aircraft carriers of the Pacific Fleet. The ship left Subic Bay May 30 to return to her home port of Alameda. On July 30, ENTERPRISE sailed from Alameda to Bremerton, WA, and Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, for a six-month shipyard period of altera- tions and refitting in preparation for taking on the Navy ' s newest fighter aircraft, the F-14A Tomcat. Returning to Alameda in early February 1974, ENTERPRISE began refresher training, carrier qualifications and air wing operations in Au- gust. ENTERPRISE won her third Battle Efficiency E for Pacific Fleet aircraft carriers. On Sept. 1 7, ENTERPRISE departed Alameda for her seventh deploy- ment to the Western Pacific and the first operational deployment overseas for the Tomcat. Between October and December, ENTERPRISE conducted routine operations in the South China Sea. After spending Christmas and New Years at Subic Bay, ENTERPRISE got underway on Jan. 7, 1975 to begin her fourth cruise in the Indian Ocean. A four-day visit to Mombasa, Kenya in early February was followed by disaster relief operations at Mauritius, a tiny island nation in the Indian Ocean that had been struck by a devastat- ing cyclone. The 40-day excursion into the Indian Ocean ended with a four-day visit to Singapore in February while en route to Subic Bay. On April 29, ENTERPRISE aircraft flew 95 sorties in support of opera- tion Frequent Wind, the evacuation of Saigon. Altera 15-day transit from Subic Bay, the Big E arrived at Alameda on May 20, 1975. ENTERPRISE left Alameda July 30, 1 976 on her eighth Western Pacific deployment. The ship arrived in the Philippines Sept. 6. Operation Kangaroo II in the Coral and Tasman Seas with ships of the Australian and New Zealand navies followed. ENTERPRISE visited Hobart, Tasmania from Oct. 29 to Nov. 5. On Jan. 15, ENTERPRISE left Subic for the first all-nuclear-powered excursion into the Indian Ocean since 1 964. The ship was joined by the guided missile cruisers LONG BEACH and TRUXTUN, and the sub- marine TAUTOG. The long at-sea period was broken by a visit to Mom- basa, Kenya Feb. 19-23. Following the Indian Ocean cruise, ENTERPRISE made a final stop in Subic before leaving for Alameda March 17. She arrived in Alameda March 28, 1977. On April 4, 1978, Enterprise departed Alameda for her ninth Western Pacific deployment. From April 4 to May 4, ENTERPRISE participated in RIMPAC-78, a four nation naval exercise involving 42 ships, 225 aircraft and about 22,00 men. Maritime forces from the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand participated in the exercise. After a short visit to Pearl Harbor, ENTERPRISE entered Subic Bay, R.P. for the first-of-four visits on 17 May. Following a 16-day operational period the ship was bound for Hong King. During this period, a group of 1 3 Vietnamese refugees were picked up from a sinking sampan about 90 miles west of Luzon, R. P. They were fed, clothed, and then transferred to USS HULL for further transit to Subic. On July 5, ENTERPRISE left Subic Bay en route to the Indian Ocean with a three-ship task group to conduct training operations. The 33-day excursion was broken by a port visit to Perth, Australia. After leaving Perth on Aug. 1 2, ENTERPRISE participated in the two-day Beacon South exercise conducted with units of the Royal Australian Air Force and the Right: First Enterprise Commanding Officer, Captain Vincent P. dePoix, 25 November T 961 — 20 luly 1963.

Leaving the Indian Ocean, via the Sunda Strait, ENTER- PRISE proceeded to Singapore, participating in MERLIN VI against Singa- pore Navy patrol craft and their Air Force Hunters and A-4 ' s. After a three-week stay in Subic, ENTERPRISE headed north towards Okinawa on 1 6 September for the first phase of Readiex 1 -79. Returning to Subic, CTF-77 and Staff disembarked. After two days of storm evasion in the South China Sea, ENTERPRISE commenced the return transit to CONUS on October 12. ENTERPRISE arrived at Pearl Harbor on October 22, where the ship embarked 200 Tigers , participating sons of crewmembers, for the transit to its homeport at Alameda. After a stand-down period, ENTERPRISE proceeded to the SOCAL operating area, where she conducted carrier qualifications through De- cember. On December 4, Air Wing Eleven was embarked and the ship sailed for a 1 0-day operation period. During this at-sea period. Air Wing Eleven conducted refresher air operations, cyclic operations and a suc- cessful Mine Warfare certification. The Air Wing flew off on December 15 and the ship returned to Alameda for the holidays. When the Big E set sail again from Alameda on January 9, 1979 it was for her 30-month temporary berth at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard lin Bremerton, Wash., to undergo a comprehensive overhaul, the first isince the ship was launched. The unique feature about the two-day cruise was that approximately 500 families of ship ' s company were aboard with their crewman sponsors. This was the third time in ENTERPRISE ' S 1 7-year history that dependents of the crew were embarked for an excursion between Alameda and Bremerton. During this COH period, ENTERPRISE undertook the largest habitabil- ity Self-Help Program ever attempted by a Navy ship and established a Habitability Division in the Ship ' s Force Management Overhaul System, comprised of approximately 300 men. During the overhaul period, the ENTERPRISE crew refurbished every enlisted berthing space and head facility — a total of 5,200 berths. A few of the improvements that resulted from this program were: new modular berths, redesigned lounges, additional partitions in sanitary spaces, refurbished lockers and better lighting and ventilation. From mast to keel, ENTERPRISE was completely refurbished. All sys- tems were checked, overhauled and restored to full operational statue. As a result, the ship was like new when it departed Puget Sound Naval Shipyard and returned to the fleet on Feb. 11, 1982. ENTERPRISE de- parted Alameda on Sept. 1 , 1982, to begin her 10th cruise. During this very successful deployment, she exercised on three occasions in the Sea of Japan as well as displayed versatility by twice operating in the North- west Pacific Ocean. She first went into the Northwest Pacific Ocean in a two-carrier battle force and then returned as part of a three-carrier force. ENTERPRISE ' S capability to conduct prompt and sustained operations against threats from the air, surface and subsurface while maintaining presence in any designated area of the world makes her a formidable foe for those who seek to restrict freedom. ENTERPRISE carries on the proud tradition of her predecessors while earning fame in contemporary naval history. For, wherever she goes, ENTERPRISE is looked upon with awe as she remains always vigilant in service to the United States of America.

The seven types of aircraft utilized provide ASW, strike, and air defense capabilities. The squadrons embarked in ENTERPRISE during training op- erations and deployment periods are permanetly home ported at various Naval Air Stations on the West Coast. The A-7E Corsair II is. a single engine let light attack strike bomber and close air support aircraft. The A-7E is flown bv a single pilot and s capable of carrying air-to-air and air-to-ground missiles, general purpose bombs, and a Vulcan MK-bl-AI 20 mm cannon. The jet uses a sophisticated digital computer for both weapons delivery and navigation. Flying the A-7[ from £ T£RPR5£ are Attack Squadrons 22 and 94, based at Naval Air Station, Lemwne, California. The E-2C Hawkeye is a carrier airborne early warning all-weather defensive aircraft with a distinctive rotating radar dome. Specialized computers, radar and communications equipment in the L-2C are used to provide strike and traffic control, area surveillance, search and rescue guidance, navigational assistance and communications relav. The E-2C, nicknamed the Hummer , is powered bv two 4,600 hp Allison turboprop engines, which drive two four-blade fullv- feathering reversible constant-speed propellers. Flying the E-2C from E 1ERPRISF is Airborne Early Warning Squadron 117. based at aval Air Station, Miramar, San Diego, California. The SH-3H Sea King is a gas turbine-powered helicopter used for anti- submarine warfare, rescue and assistance missions, and transfer of cargo and personnel between ships at sea. Capable of staying airborne for more than five hours, the Sea King is equipped with sonar, magnetic anomaly detection, sonobouys, and multi-channel relay equipment. Sea King helicopters are airborne during all flight operations from the ship. Flying the Shl-3FI Sea King is HS-6, based at Naval Air Station North Island, San Diego, California. .-.NAVY 615 ■ Oi rhe A-6E Intruder is a carrier-borne low-level attack bomber specifically de- iigned to deliver a variety of ordinance on targets completely obscured by nclement weather or darkness. Flown by a crew of two and powered by two jet engines, the A-bE is equipped with a sophisticated weapons system and can carry ive 2,000 pound general purpose bombs or a maximum of twenty-eight 500 Dound bombs. The KA-bD tanker version has a 2b,000 pound refueling capabili- y. Flying the A-bE from ENTERPRISE is Attack Squadron 95, based at Naval Air kation, Whidbey Island, Washington. The F-14A Tomcat is the Navy ' s newest fighter-interceptor. The Tomcat is a two-seat, twin engine all-weather aircraft capable of flying twice the speed of sound. It also features a variable sweep wing for increased maneuverability. The Tomcat can carry long-ranged Phoenix missies in addition to Sparrow and Side- winder missiles. Flying the F-I4A from ENTERPRISE are Fighter Squadrons 1 1 4 and 213, based at Naval Air Station, Miramar, California. I I iThe S-3A Viking, the Navy ' s newest carrier-based antisubmarine warfare aircraft, provides an ideal balance ofASW systems integration and computer technology to enable it to collect, process, interpret and store data. A jet-powered, twin engine aircraft, the Viking carries surface and subsurface search equipment including sonobuoys, high-resolution radar, infrared and magnetic anomaly detector. With a crew of four, and an endurance time of more than seven hours, the Viking is used primarily for search missions in the vicinity of the carrier task force. Flying the S-3A from Enterprise is VS-2 based at Naval Air Station, North island, San Diego, California. The EA-6B Prowler is a four-seat all-weather jet designed specifically for use in tactical electronic warfare. Powered by two Pratt Whitney I52-P-408 turbojet engines and having a level flying speed in excess of 500 knots, the Prowler uses sensitive receivers and high power jammers as an effective combination to deny the enemy use of much of his radar and radio equipment. The sophisticated, complex electronic systems of the EA-bB make the Prowler one of the most expensive aircraft in the Air Wing. Flying the EA-bB from ENTERPRISE is Tatical Electronic Warfare Squadron 133, based at Naval Air Station, Whidbey Island, Washington. 16 BAY AREA BIG E ' S HOME PORT: ALAMEDA; OAKLAND; SAN FRANCISCO; Berkeley; San Mateo; San Leandro  } ' ••% . ■•• % ' . m y . m ' BAY AREA 9 DEPENDENTS CR VISE I What ' s it like to go to sea aboard the world ' s longest aircraft carrier? A group of 3,779 family members and friends of Enterprise crewmen had that question answered March 3, 1984, during the Dependents Cruise. It was an eye-opening experience for the dependents from the time they embarked at 0400 until the voyage was over when the Big E returned to its Alameda home port and docked at 1 900. It ' s awesome, just totally awesome, is how one teen-aged girl described her experience of standing on the flight deck to view Alcatraz and the San Francisco skyline as Enterprise glided beneath the Golden Gate Bridge. For others, the excitement mounted as the ship charted a course that took it 50 miles out into the blue, choppy Pacific Ocean — out of sight of any land. Then the highlight of the cruise: a dazzling air show by Carrier Air Wing Eleven pilots that displayed the capabilities of a variety of aircraft and left not only the guests spellbound, but the crewmembers too. In between the journey out to sea, the air show and the return trip, the dependents had plenty to eat and drink as well as entertainment. For most, it was an opportunity to get a firsthand glimpse of how the crew lives and works in their floating home away from home. The many letters written to the ship to praise the teamwork, friendli- ness and helpfulness of the crew in making the Dependents Cruise a memorable experience is testimony enough that Enterprise is indeed the carrier with class. 20 I DEPENDENTS CRUISE DEPENDENTS DAY CRUISE 1 2 1 DEPENDENTS DA Y CR VISE 22 I DEPENDENTS DAY CRUISE DEPENDENTS DAY CRUISE 1 23 Predepioymeni Picnic 24 I PREDEPLOYMENJ PICNIC Ai:. ....lii aia . .K t A V V,., fyi-m.-r ii. ■.:■-■ . , .■v.vjl PREDEPLOYMENT PICNIC I 25 m ' !i • .- a -..

It was none other than Secretary of the Navy John F. Lehman Jr. Secretary Lehman is a Commander in the Naval Reserve and he was getting in some flight time during his annual active duty for training assignment. However, he made good use of his time by assuming the title and role of Secretary of the Navy during the couple of hours he spent in an orientation visit aboard Enterprise. Still wearing his flight suit, Secretary Lehman held an interview with Captain Leuschner on KENT-TV. He ex- plained and clarified several Navy p)olicies. He noted the long, dedicated hours that Enterprise crewmen put in to keep the Big E on the line and related the effort by Navy officials to boost pay.

RIMPAC, which stands for rim-of-the-Pacific, was designed to hone the combat skills of Battle Group Foxtrot ships and other military units in simulated air, surface and submarine battles around the Hawaiian Islands. It offered demanding workouts around the clock and conducts early phase of Enterprise ' s cruise, prepared the Big E for the remainder of the deployment. , . ,. The exercise, which brought together the largest gathering of ships of the line since World War II, began June 6. Joinine the Enterprise was the nuclear-powered aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson, along with six cruisers, 30 destroyers and frigates, several submarines, and an amphibious task force headed by an amphibious assault carrier. There were more than 80 ships and 250 aircraft. More than 50,000 servicemen from five nations participated. ... Units from the navies of Canada, Australia and New Zealand comprised the attacking Orange forces, while the U.S. Navy and the Japanese Maritime Self- Defense Force were the Blue team defenders of Hawaii, the White nation. The participating countries also had Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard and National Guard forces involved in the complex maneuvers.

From July 20 to August 2 and again from November 12-18 the men of the Big E were able to experience a variety of recreation and the hospitality of the friend- ly Filipino people while the ship was readied for its long Indian Ocean stay and then the voyage home. Many crewmen took liberty boats to Grande Island at the mouth of Subic Bay, where they enjoyed such aquatic activities as snorkeling and scuba diving, individual and team sports on land and gigantic ship ' s party that was held for three days running. Back on the mainland side of the sprawling Subic Bay Naval Base our crew had an almost endless list of recreational opportuni- ties including go-carting, skeet shooting and horseback riding on trails leading into dense green jungle. Some of our shipmates invested a portion of their hard-earned sea pay in stereos and cameras purchased in the Far East Trader Navy Exchange store at bargain prices. When the sun went down, the action shifted to Olongapo City right outside the base gate. Amid hustle and bustle under a long stream of neon lights, sailors strolling along Magsaysay Drive and Rizal Avenue could sample the delicious Filipino cuisine in res- taurants, buy hand-crafted souvenirs in gift shops and join the musical beat emanating from the many nightclubs that beckoned men seeking to be entertained. Other shipmates ventured beyond Olongapo, taking a bus trip past rice paddies where humble people living in bamboo and nipa huts worked with water buffalo cal led carabao. They traveled along the route of the Bataan death march, visited Corregidor with its gun emplagements that guarded Manila Bay, the metropolis of Manila with historic sights reached in multi-colored jeepneys and farther south the picturesque Taal volcano. For the real adventure- some, there was a thrilling ride in a banca boat shooting the rapids at Pagsanjan Falls. And, for those seeking peace and auiet in a cool atmosphere away from the humid, tropical valleys, tnere was a trip up north to the mountain city of Baguio. This island paradise will likely be remembered by the crew of Enterprise as a port that had nearly something for everyone.

Ferry boats shuttled the men of Enterprise from the ship to the Victoria waterfront at Fenwick Pier every 40 minutes. Once ashore, the crew could go any number of ways and find it difficult not to have an interesting, inexpensive time on the town. Many headed for the China Fleet Club and a heavy round of shopping for such treasured items as a tailor-made suit or two, jade and gold jewelry, ivory and porcelain, rugs, camera .terns from every corner of the globe. For those desiring to really bargain for what they ' re getting, there were merchants eager to do business in shops from one end of Hong Kong Island to the other as well as across the harbor in Kowloon. crowd the harbor. Taking a tram ride to the top of Victoria Peak gave an even different perspective — a panoramic view of Victoria, Hong Kong Island, the harbor and Kowloon across the a reproduction v..  ... the New Territories in the countryside away from the cities.

OPS I 93 I he men of the Enterprise Carrier Air Wing Eleven team have a reputation for being generous in contributing to worthy charitable projects. They showed their generosity early in the 1 984 deployment by raising funds to purchase two computers for Miller Elementary School in Alameda and to fully equip a 10-team junior baseball organization for children at Alameda Naval Air Station. Later in the deployment following a port call at Subic Bay Naval Base, Enterprisemen demonstrated they were friends in deed to Filipino friends in need by donating more than $6,000 to aid in disaster recovery operations after deadly typhoons ripped through the Philipine Islands. Then, during their 93-day voyage in the Indian Ocean, the men of the Big E CVW-1 1 team once again displayed generosity when the call for their support came. This time, however, the cause was bigger in scope and the challenge much greater. The 5,400 men of the Enterprise CVM-1 1 team were challenged to pledge contributions to reach a $200,000 shipboard goal for the annual Combined Federal Campaign — and they had just 1 days, October 1 5-25, in which to do it. But, the men of the Big E CVW-1 1 team were more than equal to the challenge. They not only reached their CFC goal, but went on to amass more than a quarter of a million dollars — $240,000 to be exact — in contributions to aid the many CFC agencies that serve the needs of and provide benefits to people in a variety of situations. What is almost as significant as the amount of money raised and short time it took to do it, is the fact that Enterprisemen actually enjoyed doing their part to give a fair share in the campaign. The idea was to have fun with CFC as well as raise money, according to CDR jim Griffin of VAQ-133, the overall shipboard coordinator for the Big E CVW-1 1 effort. The fund-raising drive was planned as a diversion from the hectic daily routine of normal under- way operations. Enterprise Commanding Officer, CAPT R.L. Leuschner jr., set 100 percent crew participation as the main goal in the campaign. The fund-raising effort began on Oct. 1 5 with a kickoff ceremony and a cake cutting. During the ceremony CAPT Leuschner; the Executive Officer, CAPT J.J . Dantone Jr. ; Commander Carrier Air Wing Eleven, CDR D.L. Carroll; and Big E Command Master Chief, AFCM M.W. Weaver, made their CFC contributions to LT Loren Brooks, Ship ' s Company Keyman for the campaign. On Oct. 17, a special bingo game televised live over Enterprise TV to raise money for CFC unexpectedly became a media happening when viewers called the studio to bid with donations for the Aard- vark orange bow tie worn by NCI Vince Shay of VF-1 1 4, the show ' s Squad, discovered a unique way to beat the drum for CFC. Don- ning children ' s fireman hats and breaking out hammers, saws, a harmonica, cassette tape player and other instruments, the Flying Squad resembled a displaced Fisherman ' s Wharf street band as they gathered on the mess decks one day during lunch hour to serenade their shipmates. Of course, the roving Flying Squad troubadours ensured that their midday concert did not go unrewarded as they circulated a tin cup in which diners placed pocket change offer- ings for CFC. In the days following the telethon, officers, chiefs and leading petty officers could be seen about the ship swabbing decks, washing dishes in the sculleries and taking a turn on the field day in a head — apparently carrying out their end of the deal in exchange for the challenge contributions made to CFC by members of their division, department or squadron. On Oct. 1 8, the air wing and ship ' s company held a bake sale and flea market to provide additional cash to the CFC fund. Later in the day, VAW-1 1 7 sponsored 5- and 10-kilometer foot races on the flight deck, with entry fees being donated to CFC. the various events that were beginning to become commonplace on the ship were not only garnering more money in the campaign but were also providing at the same time entertainment for the crew. Our approach wasn ' t so much a ' campaign ' as it was a celebra- tion, CDR Griffin explained. We wanted something fun, active and quick to help us meet our $200,000 goal. It wasn ' t all fun and games. Behind the scenes, LT Brooks, Ship ' s Company Keyman, and CW02 Charles Gower, CFC Treasurer, juggled the routine in their normal Operations Department jobs to aid CDR Griffin. We sometimes worked ' round the clock keeping track of the donations flooding in and coordinating the different events with the ship ' s schedule, LT Brooks related. The whole th i ng could never have come off as we! I as it did without the excel lent support we received from everyone. Tne CFC drive was topped off with a benefit carnival on Oct. 25. All hands pitched in with innovative and creative ideas to transform the aft end of Enterprise ' s 4 ' 2-acre flight deck into the midway of a carnival, complete with booths offering hamburgers, hot dogs, chili, popcorn and soft drinks. And, there were a variety of game and other activity booths. One of the most popular activity booths was En- gineering Department ' s Delbert Dunker. The dunker featured a small seat suspended over a tank of water. Chiefs and officers took turns sitting in the seat. For a dollar, a customer had three throws with a Softball to hit a small target next to the dunker. When the target was struck, the occupant of the seat was dunked in the water. Many officers and chiefs got wet that day for the cause of CFC. Comedians, singers and instrumentalists had an opportunity to CoMBiiMED Fed emcee. Petty Officer Shay agreed to sell his tie to the highest bidder with proceeds going to CFC. The bidding went higher and higher as viewing crewman after crewman called in their offers. Finally, VF- 114 Commanding Officer, CDR Lyie Bien, and the men of the squadron bought the flashy tie for $1 ,000. With the completion of the bingo game and the sale of the bow tie, the program spontaneously turned into a telethon as Enterprisemen suddenly started appearing in the TV studio to present CFC chal- lenges. Laying cash on the barrel head, they challenged their officers, chiefs and leading petty officers to trade places in their jobs in return for generous CFC pledges. When all the donations were counted up at the conclusion of the impromptu telethon, a total of $10,000 was added to the growing CFC fund. The telethon, attracting the attention and stirring the interest of a majority of the Enterprise community via TV, played a big role in getting the campaign rolling. Though the CFC drive was approached in earnest, the efforts to collect money sometimes evolved into lighthearted, comic scenarios. For example, CW02 Ken Stone, Big E ' s fire marshal, and his group of shipboard firefighters, the Flying entertain their shipmates at the carnival talent show held on a makeshift stage on the flight deck in the late afternoon. The Executive Officer, CAPT Dantone, even got into the act, dazzling the audience with his yo-yo magic tricks. The highlight of the carnival — for at least a lucky few — was a raffle drawing at the end of the day. The Commanding Officer, CAPT Leuschner, and Command Master Chief Weaver drew tickets from a revolving barrel specially built by the ship ' s AIMD. The raffle included a grand prize of a new pickup truck or $5,000, two second prizes of round trip airl ine tickets to anywhere in the U.S.A. or $1 ,000, four third prizes of video cassette recorders or $500 and numerous lesser prizes. The figures show the drive was a tremendous success for the ship and air wing, CDR Griffin commented. But, the real success was the way in which the ship and air wing worked together to exceed the goal. It was the way countless individuals stepped forward to take responsibility for making the drive into a truly enjoyable event for everyone aboard Enterprise. And it was the way the entire Big E and Air Wing Eleven crew pitched in selflessly to help CFC. 94 ERAL Campaign I.O. OPS I 95 CFC 1 0K RUN 96 I.O. OPS I.O. OPS I 97 98 I I.O.

A visit by King Neptune requires by tradition that all trusty Shellbacks on board carry out a ceremony so ancient that its origins predate written history. Yet, the majesty of the Crossing the Line ceremony has lived on for thousands of years. The early ceremonies were, to a large extent, meant to determine whether the Polly- wogs, or novices, could endure the hardships of life at sea. Having crossed the line, appeared before the Royal High Court of the Raging Mam as presided over by King Neptune, ruler of the deep, been tried in an initiation by trusty Shellbacks (veterans of cros- sing the line) and proven themselves worthy, the Pollywogs became Sons of Neptune or Shell- backs. On the night of Nov. 8, Davy Jones, Royal Scribe to King Neptune, came aboard Enterprise to meet with the Commanding Officer, CAPT R.L. Leuschner Jr., the crew and air wing squadron members to provide the details of King Neptune ' s visit. The Polly- wogs, in one last fling as novice sons of the sea, put on a beauty talent contest to display their best charms and delight their fellow ' Wogs and taunting Shellbacks alike.

In tne words of an old cliche: The men of the Enterprise worked hard and played hard. The epitome of this practice was the All Hands Party at Cubi Point Officers ' and All Hands ' beaches when the Big E arrived back in the Philippines after 93 continuous days at sea without a port call or liberty. It wasn ' t an ordinary ship ' s party, with a keg of beer and a few mess cooks flipping burgers over a flaming barbec ue grill. It was a professionally catered party, with professional enter- tainment and enough food and drink to accommodate and satisfy an expected 2,500 crewmen. As Enterprisemen walked off the brow onto Leyte Pier, a mere 100 yards away were white sandy beaches, crystal-clear aqua waters of Subic Bay and the biggest spread of food and drink any sailor could imagine set beneath cool palm trees. There were steaks, ribs, c hie ken, beef kabob, lumpia and tacos. And plenty of beer, soda pop and mixed drinks. Bands played, the Navy Exchange rolled out its pers and there were a variety of ac tivities for the hard-t hargers such as water skiing, snorkeling and excursions in speedboats, paddleboats and a glass-bottom boat. Enterprise ' s Welfare and Recreation Fund picked up the tab for the two-day fun in the sun event that was attended by 4,874 crewmen — nearly double the number expected. The manager of the Cubi Point Naval Air Station C tubs, who was responsible for coordinating the catering of the party, said that a party of this magnitude had never been attempted before at NAS Cubi Point or Subic Naval Station. The Enter- prise Special Services Division and the crew not only proved it could nappen, with the cooperation of the host facility, but that it could be a success. The Captain ' s intention was to show his appreciation for the hard work and outstani ing performance by the ship ' s company and air wing during operations in the Indian Oc ean, said LT Richard Sexton, the Big E ' s Special Services Officer, referring to the original idea for a ship ' s party proposed by the Commanding Officer, CAPT R.L. Leuschner Jr. LT Sexton was directed by CAPT Leuschner to make it happen, and make the party trulv exceptional. ment, the party was truly exceptional. PHILIPPINES I III PHILIPPINES mm THE PINES CITY 112 PHILIPPINES PHILIPPINES 113 iife r IZr3 ' TbANkSQlViNQ 115 TEXJE5. After 93 days in the calm waters and tropical climate of the North Arabian Sea, six days of liberty in the Philippines and visions of sailing beneath the Golden Gate for a happy holiday homecoming several weeks away, would the USS Enterprise Carrier Air Wing Eleven team be ready for FLEETEX 85? FLEETEX 85 challenged the men of Enterprise and CVW-1 1 to be at their very best in the demanding environment of ships and aircraft of three carrier battle groups operating in winter weather in a not-so- friendly sea. It was no easy exercise, coming as it did near the end of a long, arduous deployment. Opposition was provided by other Navy units and elements of the Air Force and Marine Corps, plus an occasional Soviet ' eavesdropper — - all eager to test the inter-operability of the battle groups in a simulated 7th Fleet tactical scenario. As soon as it got underway from the Philippines, the Enterprise had to make an end run to the south to evade a typhoon. Turning back north, the Big E faced icy winds, high seas, and airborne, surface and subsurface threats 24 hours a day as it maneuvered through the Philippine Sea and into the northwest Pacific Ocean off the east coast of Japan. Both the operational and logistical coordination involved in an exercise of such magnitude required extreme attention to detail, flexibility and cooperation by all ahnds. The men of the Big E CVW-1 1 team were more than equal to the task. They showed that even after a long deployment they sti 1 1 had the physical and emotional stamina to compete extremely well — and better than most — in the demanding FLEETEX environment. They demonstrated the same very finely tuned operation that had become commonplace during the long line period in the North Arabian Sea. The Big E CVW-1 1 team kept the simulated enemy forces from penetrating the battle group and stayed well ahead of ever-changing situations and taskings throughout the exercise. RADM John R. Batz- ler. Commander Carrier Group Three, noted that, in FLEETEX 85, Battle Flex Deck — thecapabilityof launching a variety of aircraft for different missions to meet changing situations at a moment ' s notice — came of age. This innovative concept, said RADM Batzler, which you (Enterprise CVW-1 1 team) pioneered, refined and de- monstrated, will influence the way the Navy does business for years to come. VADM J.R. Hogg, Commander Seventh Fleet, extended his per- sonal appreciation to the Big E CVW-1 1 team for its performance in FLEETEX. VADM Hogg said: The thorough planning, innovative thinking and precise execution were key in demonstrating our Navy ' s capability to carry out a large-scale sustained maritime operation in the Seventh Fleet. To accomplish an exercise of this magnitude required stressing the entire fleet infrastructure for logistics, repair, tech assist and environmental support. The enthusiasm and persist- ance exhibi ted by each command both ashore and at sea made this exercise a most noteworthy success. Enterprise not only took care of its own in outstanding fashion during FLEETEX, but also made crucial contributions to enable the carriers USS Carl Vinson and USS Midway to succeed in the exercise. The two ships sent Bravo Zulus after receiving vital aircraft repair parts from the Big E. The Carl Vinson said: Received a total of 133 parts from Enterprise during FLEETEX. Will enjoy the effects of their positive support for days to come. Many thanks. The Midway said: Should be able to get hummer ... in air. Working with Enterprise is almost as good as being parked next to Naval Supply Depot Subic. Thanks a million. VADM Hogg further added: Your achievements during FLEETEX 85 have resulted in numerous accolades, especially those made by the Commander in Chief Pacific Fleet, ADM Foley, to the highest levels of Navy leadership. I quote: ' The performance of all FLEETEX 85 participants was outstanding. I believe the last three weeks (of the exercise) have convincingly demonstrated that the Pacific Fleet is fully ready to sail into harm ' s way. ' VADM R.F. Schoultz, Deputy Chief of Naval Operations (Air Warfare), concluded: Your standout performance in FLEETEX 85 . . . typifies the consummate professionalism of the Big ' E ' CVW-1 1 team. Well Done! 116 FLEETEX ]17 TIGER CRUISE The Tigers came two-by-two, ages 8 to 80, some small and others big, from all walks of life and from all corners of America for a special ride aboard Enterprise. The thrill of a lifetime — for both crewman and his Tiger relative or friend — to share life on the Big E during the final seven-day leg of the 1984 cruise. Operation Tiger is the code name for the Navy program that embarks male relatives and friends of crewmen on board ships in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, for the return trip to the West Coast at the end of a major deployment. Some 935 fathers, sons, borthers, uncles, cousins and friends of Enterprisemen signed on for the 1984 cruise. During the cruise. Tigers viewed an air show by Carrier Air Wing Eleven squadrons and a sea power demonstration by the cruisers, destroyers and frigates of Battle Group Foxtrot. They toured work centers from stem to stern and perhaps, in the seven short days they were aboard as our shipmates, learned more about the inner workings of the world ' s first and longest nuclear-powered aircraft carrier than we already knew and gained an insight into the spirit of Enterprise. Our Tigers shared the pride we felt as we stood shoulder-to- shoulder on the flight deck to watch the Enterprise glide be- neath the Golden Gate. Home at last from the sea in time for Christmas and family reunions came the magnificent Big E after a highly successful voyage. The Tigers had plenty of sea tales to tell, some of which are related herewith. They are representative, perhaps, of impress- ions experienced by other Tiger shipmates. 4iw« „ ■ ' 118 TIGER CRUISE TIGER CRUISE 119 120 I TIGER CRUISE TIGER CRUISE TIGER CRUISE 121 ' ' een great rhi ' ' ' ' ' ' se on the li(i :c . been nice l nrin 9°° «iie All th« fast they a° n ' ' ' ° ' ars , psaelor ' ' °° i- ' becauseVeoe?r K ' ot i aSn V OntheT opr r TIGER CRUISE 122 TIGER CRUISE L The Tigev Cruise w ' , g crevj, ' to W« on ' « ' ' ° ; ' i o  ' roa«« ' :ra°s ff«em.

Leaders in both the community and the air wing, they have been the pacesetter through turnaround, work-ups and an arduous WestPac lndian Ocean cruise. Operating aboard USS Enterprise in the Battle Flex Deck mode, VA-94 flew more tiours and sorties than any other air wing squadron. The ' Shrikes ' grade of outstanding {the top attack squadron in the air wing) was only a prelude to their superb performance during the deployment. They took the lead in development of air wing battle group tactics, agressive airmanship, mainte- nance that produced FMC aircraft and sound safety and FOD programs.

Having closely observed VA-94 ' s performance during their 1984 Seventh Fleet deployment, they are with obvious choice for this award. They supported the battle group with standout FMC MC rates and remarkable tanker availability. The outstanding results of their post-cruise corrosion inspection is a testament to their emphasis on quality maintenance. Whenever there was a need for a Corsair, the ' Mighty Shrikes ' were always there. Strongly recommend their selection forthe LTJG Bruce Carrier Memorial Award. RADM JR. Batzler, Commander, Carrier Group Three For Safety VA-94 — The officers and men of VA-94 are congratulated for tying with VFA-113forthe COMLATWINGPAC Quarterly Safe- ty Award for a deployed squadron. This is their second con- secutive award. Their professional performance, attention to detail and all-hands involvement combined with aggressive and supportive leadership create safety awareness and posi- tive results. 1984 CNO Annual Safety Award VA-94 — Most enthusiastically endorse the ' Mighty Shrikes ' of VA-94 for the 1984 CNO Annual Safety Award. Continually a leader in air wing operational statistics, VA-94 is also the pacesetter in the area of safety awareness. Embarked over 70 percent of the year, the ' Shrikes ' had over 5.600 hours and 2,480 traps, 40 percent at night. VA-94 had an umble- mished safety and FOD record, which became increasingly significant considering the challenging conditions inherent to Battle Flex Deck where maintenance is performed simul- taneously with the launch and recovery of aircraft day and night. The squadron ' s outstanding maintenance efforts were rewarded with superior FMC MC rates, outstanding corrosion control inspections and the highest air wing sortie completion rate for WestPac ' 84. Flexibility and determination to meet or exceed goals have been the key elements which mark the most successful squadrons during BED. VA-94 aggressively pur- sued and developed methods to maximize training without compromising safety. Tactically aggressive, the squadron rewrote air wing procedures, developed inter-squadron train- ing and was directly responsible for Increasing air wing com- bat readiness. A most positive command climate and active safety awareness permeate all levels of the squadron. VA-94 has my strongest possible recommendation for the CNO Annual Aviation Safety Award. Commander, Carrier Air Wing Eleven VS-21 — Most strongly recommend the ' Redtails ' of VS-21 for the 1984 CNO Annual Safety Award. VS-21 continues to lead the air wing with their operational accomplishments. Ninety percent of all their award period flight time has been embarked with 33 percent at night. A zero FOD rate, four individuals named CNAP ' Pro of the Week ' and numerous aircraft software and NATOPS procedural change proposals, the Redtails remain in the forefront of the safety arena. While deployed, 36 hours a month per aircrew, zero mishaps and zero personnel injuries typified their perfor- mance. With over 60,000 hours since the last flight mishap and an extremely positive and professional command climate, VS-21 is most deserving of the CNO Annual Safety Award. Commander, Carrier Air Wing Eleven RADM Joseph C. Clifton Award VF-213 — The ' Black Lions ' of VF-213 have attained excell- ence during this competitive cycle in all mission areas, from outer air battle defense to photo recon, and have become the pacesetters of West Coast fighter squadrons. The Black Lions nave established impressive operational records, accom- plished with dynamic leadership and a strong sense of pride and professionalism on the part of each member of the squad- ron. High retention and advancement rates reflect the fighter spirit and high morale prevalent throughout VF-213. Their special achievements in weapons deployment and tactical innovations spanned a Western Pacific deployment with 81 percent of this competitive cycle embarked operating in Battle Flex Deck. Their emphasis on combat readiness combined with their superb professional performance have earned the Black Lions my strongest possible endorsement for the Admiral Clifton Award.

Collectively these two divisions communicate in a wide variety of ways, from the most basic flashing light to the most highly sophisticated state-of-the-art electronic satellite communications systems. CS Division, commonly referred to as the Signal Gang, is primarily responsible for visual communications which include flashing light, semaphore and ftaghoist. There are more than 65 flags and pennants, 32 positions for use in semaphore, and Morse code used for flashing light, all of which must be memorized by the men of the signal bridge. CR Division consists of Facilities Control (FACCON), Message Processing Center (MPC) and Teletype Repair (TTY). Facilities Control is responsible for ensuring all radio circuits are properly set up and patched to various outlying stations. Our Tech Controllers make split-second decisions regarding circuit restoration. They also tune transmitters and receivers over wide frequency ranges in accordance with current frequency plans. The Message Processing Center handles all operational and administrative message traffic for Enterprise and her embarked air wing and staffs. Using computer and manual teletype equipment, the MPC processes between 1,600 and 2,200 messages per day during peak operational periods. The Reproduction and Distribution area of MPC will have produced, by the end of the WestPac deployment, more than eight million copies of message traffic. The Teletype Repair Shop is responsible for maintenance and repair of teletype equipment and Xerox copiers aboard Enterprise. The ability to communicate, whether with flashing light or satellites in space, is vital to the success of the Big E mission. Throughout the cycle of work-ups, readiness exercises as a Battle Group and deployment to the Far East and North Arabian Sea, Enterprise communicators have truly served as The Voice of Command.

Boatswain ' s Mates are responsible for conducting key functions in traditional sailor ' s evolutions, such as Sea and Anchor Detail, refueling, rearming, replenishing, maintaining and running boats — the Captain ' s Gig, motor Whaleboat (lifeboat) and four utility boats, and for supplying and training bridge watchstanders. Whenever ENTERPRISE enters or leaves port. Deck takes care of mooring her to the pier, casting her loose, or dropping and heaving in the anchor. The boats that take the liberty party to the beach are manned by trained Boatswain ' s Mates. Whenever the supply of groceries or jet fuel gets low. Deck Department mans up Underway Replenishment stations and transfers the goods with skill and professionalism. From Reveille to Taps the Bos ' n pipe can be heard piping orders from the Bridge and Quarterdeck. The tradition of piping dates back to before 1492 when Columbus set sail. Deck supplies key personnel to man the bridge underway. Under the close supervision of the Boatswain ' s Mate of the Watch, Deck personnel stand helm, leehelm, lookout, lifeboat, and sponson watches. Boatswain ' s Mates run the ship ' s sail locker, where canvas and other materials are sewn into canopies and covers for equipment throughout the ship. Deck also operates the paint and Bos ' n Lockers and is responsible for issuing and controling paint and cleaning gear for the ship. Fancy work and knot tying are part of a Boatswain ' s Mate ' s craft, as well as the piping of honors in special ceremonies. Deck Department was extremely productive during SRA 83 before deployment, rehabing many interior spaces, sponsons, and preserving the ship ' s sides. FHigh scores were achieved by Deck during Refresher Training and the Operational Readiness Examination (ORE). The senior ORE observer commented that ENTERPRISE had the best CV Deck Department in the Pacific Fleet. Deck Department has continued to maintain high standards throughout the deployment and uphold the Deck tradition of taking up the slack and maintaining an even strain. LCDR L.J.

Specr i DENTAL 21 3 ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT 214 ENG DEPT iEnterprise, a ghost ship — sitting quietly in the darkness and ' moored to the pier. Without the steam that drives her four massive engines and her eight turbine-generators, without the auxiliary equipment that provides numerous essential services, and without the well-trained and highly skilled men — more than 500 engineers in all — who keep her running in top shape, she would be but a lifeless hulk of steel at the mercy of the tides and wind. The Enterprise power and light company. Engineering Department, whose motto is machina bena constituta and whose mission is making the Big E work, is actually four divisions. Machinery (M). Electrical (E), Auxiliary (A) and Damage control (R) Divisions all work together as a team to accomplish this task. Their story: Thousands of repairs accomplished, tens of thousands of miles traveled, hundreds of thousands of telephone calls processed, millions of gallons of water distilled, and billions of kilowatt-hours of electricity generated. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, from the island to the pump rooms, from the bow to the stern, the men of engineering are on watch and working. M-Division with its Machinist ' s Mates and Boiler Technicians operate and maintain propulsion equipment, evaporators, and the ! turbines that provide everything from electricity to high pressure ■ed water. They work in the mains and arms wnere high eat and humidity are a fact of life, yet they always achieve whatever is required. E-Division is comprised of Electrician ' s Mates who distribute power throughout the ship, maintain lighting systems, repair elevators motors, and galley equipment, and of the Interior Communications Electricians who maintain the ship ' s telephone system, gyrocompasses, main communication circuits. sound-powered phones, engine and steering control networks, and the various alarms and indicators required to operate the ship. A-Division repairs and operates all of the ship ' s auxiliary equipment. The A-Division team is made up of Machinist ' s Mates, Machinery Repairmen and enginemen. They supply steam to the catapults, hydraulic power for steering and elevator equipment, and they insure that the winches, air conditioning plants, emergency diesel generators, fire pumps, ship ' s boats, air compressors, and fiquid oxygen and nitrogen plants operate safely and efficiently. The men of the Machine Shop manufacture, rebuild, and repair needed parts for the ship, the air wing and the entire battle group. Damage Control and Repair Divisions have been merged into Engineering from their previous departmental status. Although it ' s Hull Maintenance Technicians are renowned primarily for their excellent emergency response team, the Flying Squad , R Division actually has two other major functions: they are the ship ' s experts in repair, welding, brazing, and non-destructive testing analysis and they are responsible for the training of the entire crew in techniques for damage control, which enables the ship to keep fighting in all environments. Engineering Department has its own administrative section which handles the overwhelming quantity of paperwork that evolves from running a large organization. From the routine to the complex, the yeomen of the Logroom keep the administration in order. Engineering Department: the men behind the scenes that propel the ship and provide the power to help make ENTERPRISE the premier warship of the U.S. Navy. ENGDEPT 215 LOG ROOM LCDR D.

USMC Commanding Officer The Marine Detachment is a small, independent command aboard the ENTERPRISE composed of 2 Officers and 70 Enlisted. The primary mission of the Marine Detachment is to provide Special Weapons Security. Additional missions include internal external security of the ship, Money Guards, Flag and Commanding Officer Orderlies as well as Honors and Ceremonies. As an independent command, the Marine Detachment is operationally responsible to the Commanding Officer of the ENTERPRISE. Administratively the Detachment falls under the commands of Fleet Marine Force (Pacific) and Headquarters Marine Corps. To accomplish its mission the Detachment is task organized in to a Headquarters Platoon and a Guard Platoon. The Guard Platoon composes the majority of the Marines aboard. Marines assigned to the Guard are highly trained and disciplined in all security matters to include rifle and pistol marksmanship, use of deadly force, anti-terrorist security, riot and crowd control and pertinent General and Guard Orders. These Marines are trained to respond to any emergency that requires the capabilities of a combat trained Marine, be it a Security Alarm in a Weapons Magazine, Mass Casualties on the Flight Deck or Repelling Unauthorized boarders. The Headquarters Platoon is responsible for handling all administrative functions required by an independent command to include: Files, Publications and Directives, Service Record Books, and the Computerized Unit Diary which monitors Promotions, Personnel Orders and all other aspects of Administration. The Headquarters element also includes the Damage Control NCO and Supply NCO. Marines assigned to Sea Duty are selected from the top of their class at either Recruit Training or Infantry Training School. The Marines of the Detachment serve their 2 year tour with Superior Dedication and Professionalism which has been the trademark of Sea Duty Marines for over 209 years. 1 should not deem a man-of-war complete without a body of Marines . . . imbued with that esprit that has so long characterized the old ' Corps ' Commodore Joshua R.

ENTERPRISE maintains the facilities of a small acute care hospital to care for the needs of all embarked personnel and provides support to the rest of the ISattle Group with consultative services. Included in the Sick Bay complex are a total of 72 beds, a two-bed fully ec uipped intensive care unit, a modernized operating room featuring state-of-the-art anesthesia equipment, a laboratory augmented by a Beckman-42 Blood Serum Analyzer, X-ray, a pharmacy, an emergency treatment room, a physical therapy room including probably the only Hubbard tank on a Carrier, and facilities to perform a host of different types of physical examinations. Augmenting the central facility are a total of seven widely dispersed Battle Dressing Stations. The Medical Department team is dedicatcxf to providing the highest quality of health care. In the case of either large-scale wartime injuries or a mass casualty situation, every man on board ENTERPRISE becomes an extension of the Medical Department through the use of skills developed during an intensive training jrogram taught by all members of the Medical team. The endless lours of training and drilling have served tcj provide all with the confidence that we are rc ady in peacetime and in battle. program. The potable water, for example, is tested for human consumption on a daily basis as are the huge variety of food stores brought on board. Annual physicals, immunizations and sanitary inspections are conducted by the Mc dical Department to ensure the continued health of the crew. The end result is that ENTERPRISE remains one of the cleanest and most habitable ships afloat today. 260 MEDICAL LCOR M.|. Grayson IT |.M. Squim IT T.C. Falvo IT I.VV. Taylor CW02 B.C. Ross HMCS C.R.

Thus, navigation is the process of directing the movements of a ship from one point to another. The members of the Navigation Department have taken great pride in their profession. The Quartermasters are skilled in the use of almanacs, sextants, charts and other tools of the profession. The precision demanded by navigation requires a comprehensive knowledge of the use of these instruments. The information derived must be interpreted and applied in such a fashion that precision is tempered with good judgement and safety. The QMs are a close knit, hard-working group. Each one has contributed to the task of getting the Big E around the oceans of the world. Each member of the team has his own interpretation of the ways of the sea. In essence some are just saltier than others. The wise man of the sea lives in each of us. The QMs are from all different parts of our country. In fact some needed a sense of navigation just to get out of places like Kentucky to begin with! Many have laid claim, but we all know . . . the QMs are King Neptune ' s chosen! CDR R.M.

The Naval Tactical Data System (NTDS) is the principal system used in assisting the Commanding Officer and the embarked flag officer in the exercise of command. High-speed digital computers, display consoles and data links present a real-time comprehensive display of tactical air, surface and subsurface information. CDC is primarily concerned with the supply and flow of information pertaining to the tactical situation for ship, group or force operations and the dissemination of this evaluated information to the units concerned. Strike Operations is responsible for the overall scheduling and coordination between the ship and Air Wing for weapons employment and readiness training and prepares command UNITREP and OPREP-3 reports as required. Combat readiness objectives are achieved through long-range planning based on operations orders, letters of instructions and other tasking from higher authority. Daily Air Plan scheduling depicts immediate ship and Air Wing training requirements. 268 OPS ADMIN CDR A.A. Nichols LCDR O. Conklin LCOR M.|. CiKftin YN1 R.K. Kennedy YN2 D.E.

Yonts I RM 1 303 The ENTERPRISE Safety Department is a small but essential part of the ENTERPRISE Team. The Safety Department is responsible for implementing a comprehensive safety program based on objectives established by the Commanding Officer. In carrying out this Safety Program, the ship ' s Safety Department must promote maximum cooperation in Safety Matters at all levels, ensure a wide distribution of safety information, monitor the submission of required safety reports, and maintain appropriate safety records and statistics. In implementing safety programs involving General Safety, Aviation Safety, Motor Vehicle Safety, Environmental Protection, and Personnel Safety, the Safety Department must instill all crewmembers with an attitude of Safety Awareness on a daily basis. Common sense and Safety Awareness lies with the individual; promoting and improving that attitude is the task of the Ship ' s Safety Department. CDR. P.D. SULLIVAN Safety Officer 304 I SAFETY ABCS D.

Noll L SAFETY 305 In 1775, a 70-foot wooden ship by the name of Enterprise was rapidly being provisioned so that she could rejoin the small but highly effective Continental Navy in their fight against the British Fleet. Her loadout would have been accomplished by the ship ' s quartermaster and his assistants and would have to be meticulous in every detail in order to properly support the ship ' s mission and her crew during their upcoming voyage. This careful planning and attention to detail is just as important today as it was 200 years ago, but the size of the task has grown 100 fold. Today Enterprise relies upon the officers and enlisted members of the Supply Department to ensure that whatever logistical support required in support of her crew and air wing is provided. In order to accomplish this herculean feat, the talents of 14 officers and 475 enlisted men in six different and specialized ratings and 275 non-rated men are put to the test daily. The Storekeepers and Aviation Storekeepers provide the technical research, requisitioning and storage for more than 100,000 line items and tons of consumable material necessary for the support of aircraft and ship ' s equipment. Mess Management Specialists stow, issue and prepare a wide variety of food items to produce more than 15,000 appetizing meals daily for the men embarked in Enterprise. Providing customer-oriented service, Ship ' s Servicemen run retail stores and fountains, process laundry, and man two barber shops. The Big E Disbursing Clerks carefully audit the pay records of the crew, prepare paychecks and serve as the bank on board. Operating the complex Honeywell DPS-6 computer on Enterprise is the job of a select group of individuals known as Data Processing Technicians. The non-rated personnel provide the labor force for moving parts and cargo, processing laundry and providing clean, sanitary eating facilities. True to the motto of quality first equals professionalism, the members of the Supply Department go to any lengths to provide the best in the way of services and material necessary to support the mission of Enterprise.

BROOKS, US Training Officer TRAINING The Training Department is comprised of a diverse group of men who are tasked with the responsibihty of providing numerous services to the entire crew. The Department itself is broken down into the following divisions: the Training Office, TAD Schools Division, Petty Officer Academy, Indoctrination Division, Educational Services Office Advancements Section, PACE Functional Skills Instructors, Special Services and Command Career Counselors ' Office. All requests for off-ship training schools are processed through the TAD Schools Division. Directly responsible for all ship ' s training, the TAD Schools Division obtains school quotas, funding, transportation and makes all other arrangements for individuals or groups attending schools. The Educational Services Office is responsible for all educational programs conducted on and off the ship. Additionally, ESO processes all applications for officer programs such as BOOST, NROTC, EEAP, ECP and the U.S. Naval Academy. During the cruise the Navy ' s Program for Afloat College Education (PACE) was administered by City College of Chicago. The PACE program allows crewmembers to attend college courses while Enterprise is at sea. Approximately 700 students attended courses during this deployment, which represented 2,100 semester hours of college credits. Courses included philosophy, psychology and history. In addition. Functional Skills courses in the areas of math and English were conducted, which afforded crewmembers the opportunity to improve their education in these fields. The Navy ' s Vocational Program for Afloat College Education (VOTECH-PACE) was also available during this WestPac. Approximately 200 students attended courses in data processing, electronics, aviation and air conditioning. The Advancements Section of ESO is responsible for ordering all advancement exams and screening all records to ensure personnel meet advancement exam requirements. During the deployment approximately 1,000 E-4 E-5 Military Leadership and 1,500 E-4, E-5 and E-6 advancement exams were administered to the crew. The Training Department Petty Officer Academy is responsible for providing initial leadership training to all third class petty officers. In addition, this highly successful program fills the training gap for those second and first class petty officers who have not received any formal leadership training. Since its establishment in December 1981, the academy has graduated more than 2,000 ship ' s company and air wing personnel. Students receive tRAINING TRAINING LTIC S.L. Bwba LTIC R.|.

On board the ship Special Services maintains a fully equipped weight room, a recreational gear issue room, and a VCR tape rental library which offers more than 225 movies. Special Services also sponsors special events at sea and in port including bingo nights, ship ' s picnics and other shipboard evolutions. If it has to do with improving the morale and welfare of the Enterprise crew. Special Services is more than likely involved. Rounding out the Training Department are the men of the Command Career Counselors ' Office who form the nucleus of the Command Retention Team. It is these Navy Counselors ' job to provide information that will help the men of Enterprise plan their Navy careers. They also guide crewmen in gaining future assignments to duty that will most assist them in advancement. TRAINING 1 329 A01 T. Mariett NCI D. Zug PN2 V.T. Cooper ABH2 K. Thompson BM3 B.M.

Smith TRAINING TRAINING 331 The mission of the Weapons Department is to provide all ordnance which may be required by the embarked air wing and for the ship ' s physical security. To accomplish this, the Weapons Department is not only capable of assembling and delivering conventional and special weapons, but also maintains the weapons elevators, ordnance handling equipment, magazines and weapons arsenal. The Weapons Department is divided into five divisions. G-1 Division, the ship ' s armory, maintains magazine trunks, magazines and magazine sprinkler systems and also provides gunners for all underway replenishment evolutions. G-2 Division maintains the ship ' s 1 7 weapons elevators and is responsible for the safe transportation of all ordnance from the magazines to the flight deck according to the daily load plan. G-3 Division, bomb assembly, is responsible for the magazines, the assembly and movement of conventional ordnance at the second deck and hangar deck levels, and for the upkeep of all assigned weapons handling equipment. G-4 Division, air launched missiles, is responsible for the handling, stowage, and maintenance of all air launched missiles and torpedoes aboard Enterprise. W Division is responsible for the assembly, test, stowage, maintenance and operation of the associated test and handling equipment. The Administrative Office of the Weapons Department is comprised of two distinct branches. The operational branch consists of weapons handling and movement control under the supervision of the Ordnance Officer and the clerical branch under the supervision of the Administrative Officer. The Ordnance Handling Officer acts as overall coordinator between the air wing and the Weapons Department for the scheduling and supervision of ordnance movements reauired to support flight operations and shipboard training evolutions, ana for ordering and reporting the expenditure of all munitions. The Weapons Officer, known as the Gun Boss, is responsible for the operational and administrative aspects of all shipboard weapons evolutions. Major weapons evolutions are coordinated by the Ordnance Officer and the Ordnance Handling Officer. Stored ordnance is broken out from magazines, assembled, and transported to forward and aft transfer areas by G-1, G-3 and G-4 Divisions. C-3 Division coordinates and controls the receipt and transfer of ordnance in the transfer areas. Ordnance is then sent by weapons elevators to the flight deck where G-2 Division personnel assure its control and transfer to the various squadron ordnance handling personnel. Squadron personnel install the ordnance in or on their various aircraft for delivery on target. During the last training cycle prior to the deployment, the men of the Weapons Department demonstrated their expertise by achieving grades of outstanding during the weapons training exercise (WEPTRAEX), mine readiness certification inspection (MRCI), and Operational Readiness Evaluation (ORE). lAPONS CDR R.J.

McKaig G-5 EOD 1 343 COMDESRON SEVEN Destroyer Squadron SEVEN was first established in September 1920 as a reserve squadron of 15 ships homeported at Charleston, South Carolina. The squadron was deactivated from July 1922 until April 1939 when it was reorganized at San Diego, Cali- fornia. In December 1940, the squadron was reformed at Newport, Rhode Island and until the end of the Euro- pean War was actively engaged in escort duties throughout the Atlantic and Mediterranean Theaters. In May 1945, the squadron was reformed at San Diego and operated with the Pacific Fleet for the remainder of World War 11. In November 1945, the squadron was inactivated and in January 1 946, DESRON SIXTY was redesig- nated DESRON SEVEN. Ships of the squadron partici- pated in the Atomic Bomb tests at Bikini Atoll and saw extended action during the Korean War, including the invasion of Inchon. During the Vietnam conflict, the squadron again saw action on the Market Time patrol and engaged in the bombardment of North Vietnam. In January and February 1979, the squadron was actively engaged in Indian Ocean Arabian Sea opera- tions and participated in the evacuation of Iran. The squadron is assigned to Cruiser-Destroyer Group THREE and operates as an active part of the Pacific Fleet. Since assignment as the Anti-Submarine Warfare Commander (ALFA XRAY) for Battle Group Foxtrot, COMDESRON SEVEN actively participated in all de- ployment work-up exercises and embarked USS En- terprise (CVN-65) on 29 May 1984.

It has a distinguished combat history and a capability which places it high among the fighting units of the United States Navy. Commissioned on Navy Day, 1942, the Air Wing has recorded a significant number of firsts in attaining its place as one of the Navy ' s top fighting organizations. In June 1943, the pilots of Air Group ELEVEN conducted the first daylight raids during fighting in the Solomon and New Georgia operations of WW II. They also took part in air strikes on Leyte Gulf, Indochina, Formosa, and the China Mainland. For the above operations, the Presidential Unit Citation was awarded to the Air Group for its extraordinary achievements against the enemy. During the Korean conflict. Carrier Air Group ELEVEN was the first Naval Air Group to engage and down a MIG jet fighter. The Air Group was instrumental in keeping the Pusan Perimeter from collapsing in the early phases of the conflict, and participated in other significant actions such as the Inchon Invasion, the Wonson landing, and the highly successful movement from the Chosin Reservoir. With the addition of the RA5C Vigilante, A6A Intruder, and E-2A Hawkeye, Air Wing ELEVEN deployed on board the USS KITTY HAWK to the Seventh Fleet in October 1965 with the most modern, complex strike group ever assembled and evaluated under wartime conditions. During the period December 1965 - May 1966, the Air Wing conducted air strikes against targets in North and South Vietnam, and delivered more ordnance than any other strike group. The Navy Unit Citation was awarded to the USS KITTY HAWK and Air Wing ELEVEN in November 1966 for their superior performance. In August 1967, Air Wing ELEVEN and USS KITTY HAWK were again awarded the Navy Unit Citation for their efforts in the Vietnam conflict from December 1966 to May 1967. The Attack Carrier KITTY HAWK and Air Wing ELEVEN became the first ship air wing to receive the Presidential Unit Citation for performance during the Vietnam conflict. The Citation for KITTY HAWK Air Wing ELEVEN was approved and signed by President Lyndon B. JOHNSON in recognition for their combat operations that were conducted from December 1967 through June 1968 as part of the United States Seventh Fleet. Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN set numerous records for the Vietnam conflict, foremost of which was a 61 day line period, longest for the war. Prior to the limited bombing announcement, Air Wing ELEVEN ranged the length of North Vietnam striking enemy power plants, rail yards, and lines of transportation and communications and were instrumental in the defense of Khe Sanh. During Attack Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN ' S sixth WestPac deployment (November 70 - July 71) she again broke all previous records for combat sorties flown and ordnance delivered. This record was short lived, however, for during her seventh deployment she again broke all records. Deployed early due to the 1972 Communist offensive, KITTY HAWK and Air Wing ELEVEN became known as the backbone of the Linebacker operations (the resumption of bombing in North Vietnam). Bombing the length of North Vietnam, Air Wing ELEVEN was instrumental in forcing the North Vietnamese to negotiate a final end to the conflict. In 1973, Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN and KITTY HAWK transitioned to a 13 squadron air wing and 107 aircraft to form the world ' s largest air wing under the new CV concept. This new concept, TACAIR and ASWAIR on the same carrier, was implemented and deployed to Westpac in November 1973 for a most successful cruise highlighted by an Air Power Demonstration for the Shah of Iran and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff while operating in the Indian Ocean. The first CV deployment of a West Coast carrier demonstrated the flexibility of simultaneous TACAIR and ASW employment. Following her first non-combat cruise since 1965, in July 1974, KITTY HAWK CVW-1 1 returned to CONUS for a brief standdown period. In 1975 KITTY HAWK Air Wing ELEVEN once again demonstrated their versatility in the role of a multi-mission carrier with its second CV deployment. FoJIowing this deployment. Air Wing ELEVEN underwent a major reorganization incorporating the Navy ' s newest F-14 Tomcat and S-3A Viking as well as the new A-6E CAINS and E-2C, 1977 saw Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN deployed to WESTPAC aboard the USS KITTY HAWK with the newest aircraft in the fleet. After an eight month extended deployment. Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN began preparations to move the Air Wing to the East Coast. In March 1979, Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN deployed to the Mediterranean aboard the USS AMERICA. The Air Wing was comprised of 10 squadrons with over 90 aircraft stationed throughout the United States. In September 1982, Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN deployed to WESTPAC aboard USS ENTERPRISE. Following the end of an extended seven month deployment. Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN commenced preparations for its next deployment. Today Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN is comprised of two fighter squadrons, (VF-1 14 and VF-213) flying the F-14A Tomcat , two light attack squadrons (VA-94 and VA-22) flying the A-7E Corsair II , one medium attack squadron (VA-95) flying A-6E Intruders , and two anti-submarine squadrons (VS-21 and HS-6) flying the S-3A Viking and the SH-3H Sea King. 350 CVW-ll COMMANDER DAVID L. CARROLL, USN Commander Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN A native of Winter Haven, Florida, Comnnancler David Carroll attended the University of Nev Mexico v liere tie graduated with a degree in Business Administration. He reported to NAS Pensacola, Florida in June 1965 and received his wings in October 1966. Commander Carroll joined Attack Squadron ONE TWENTY TWO and was a member of the first transition class in the A-7A CORSAIR II. He was the first Ensign to fly the A-7A. A Plankowner in Attack Squadron 147, he participated in the first A-7 combat cruise.

The squadron, under the command of CDR Miles M. Staley, has an illustrious history of anti-submarine warfare (ASW) excellence exhibited by their winning of the Isbell Trophy after the 1982-83 WestPac cruise. The squadron ' s primary function was to provide Battle Group Foxtrot with close in ASW, protecting the ships through the use of dipping sonar, sonobuoy sensors, and magnetic anomaly detection systems. Filling an important and unique role, the Indians are also the ship ' s primary Search and Rescue vehicle, conducting search and rescue operations in the event of an aircraft accident or a man overboard. A man in the water can rest assured in the knowledge that the Indians are on their way, reflecting their long-standing tradition of pride and professionalism. HS-6 is additionally tasked with providing mail and cargo transfers between other ships in the battle group as well as ship-to-ship personnel transfers and MEDEVAC assistance. The challenges have been many and difficult over the years but the Indians of HS-6 have met and conquered them one at a time, continuing to live up to their motto: NOBODY DOES IT BETTER. 354 I HS-6 HS-6 ss CDR M.

Lewis 360 HS-6 HS-6 361 VA-22 Attack Squadron Twenty-Two (VA-22), also known as the Fighting Redcocks, is led by CDR R.A. Kellet. The Lemoore, Calif., based squadron is made up of 250 enlisted men and 21 officers. Their mission is to maintain, fly and fight the A-7E Corsair II aircraft. VA-22 ' s history dates back to July 1948, when it was commissioned as Fighter Squadron 63 at NAS Norfolk, Va. It was not until July 1959 that the Fighting Redcocks gained their present designation as Attack Squadron Twenty-Two. The first Redcock aviators flew the F-8F Bearcat. Succeeding pilots have progressed through the F-4U Corsair, F-9F Panther, F9F-6 8 Cougar, FJ-4B Fury, A-4 B C F Skyhawk, and currently the A-7E Corsair II. Over the last 34 years the Fighting Redcocks have been called into action during the Korean and Vietnam wars, with three combat deployments to Korea and six to Vietnam. During their last combat cruise in 1972, VA-22 participated in the mining of Haiphong Harbor as well as intensive air strikes over North Vietnam. Peacetime crises responded to by the Fighting Redcocks have included readiness maneuvers for the Pueblo Crisis of 1968, the evacuation of Saigon in 1975, the rescue of the Mayaguez in 1975, and the search and rescue of Southeast Asian refugees in the Western Pacific and South China Sea during both the 1979 80 and 1981 deployments. During the January ' 79 and ' 80 and the July ' 80 to December ' 81 competitive cycles. Attack Squadron Twenty-Two received the COMNAVAIRPAC Battle Efficiency E, thus holding it for three consecutive years. Additionally, VA-22 earned the FY-81 CINCPACFLT Golden Anchor Retention Award for deployable squadrons of the Pacific Fleet, and the COMLATWINGPAC John L. Nicholson Retention Award for both FY-80 and FY-81. The squadron won the RADM Clarence Wade MacClusky Award for CY-81 as the best attack squadron in the U.S. Navy. The Fighting Redcocks were awarded the Meritorious Unit Commendation for service while attached to Commander Carrier Air Wing Fifteen and ashore at NAS Lemoore, Calif., from 1 May 1979 to 23 November 1981 for unprecedented fulfillment of the Navywide goals of combat readiness and personnel retention. On 15 January 1982, VA-22 ' s operational command was changed from Air Wing Fifteen to Air Wing Eleven, which is currently deployed aboard USS Enterprise. More recently. Attack Squadron Twenty-Two was named the COMNAVAIRPAC nominee for the RADM Clarence Wade McClusky Award for CY-83. in addition, the prestigious LTJG Bruce Carrier Award for excellence in aviation maintenance was bestowed upon the Redcocks in February 1984 for their efforts during the previous calendar year. The Fighting Redcocks look forward with pride in their past accomplishments and with confidence in their future successes. 362 VA-ll CDR Bums Executive Officer ICOR T.L. Houck LCDR C.W.

In its new attack role, the squadron transitioned from the F|-4B FURY to the A-4 SKYHAWK . The Mightly Shrikes earned their nickname when they became one of the first squadrons to qualify in the A-4, comparing the plane to the small ferocious bird. The Shrikes completed seven consecutive combat deployments to Southeast Asia commencing with a cruise aboard the USS RANGER in 1964. After transitioning to the A-7E in 1970, the squadron was assigned to CVW-15 and completed it ' s final Southeast Asia combat deployment aboard USS CORAL SEA and participated in the first major Navy strikes into North Vietnam since the 1968 bombing halt. In 1974, the squadron was the recipient of both the Admiral Wade McCluskey Award and the COMNAVAIRPAC Battle Efficiency E Award. The Shrikes have been awarded the Navy Unit Commendation, Meritorious Unit Commendation and the | Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal for action in Southeast Asia a well as a second Meritorious Unit Commendation and the Navy Expeditionary Medal for action during the Iranian crisis. In September of 1982, VA-94 departed on their 16th Western Pacific Indian Ocean deployment, this time as members of the { CVW-1 1 ENTERPRISE Team. Following this cruise the Shrikes embarked on an ambitious turn-around training plan which culminated with their designation as the top tactical squadron in| the Air Wing during the ENTERPRISE ' S Operat ional Readiness Evaluation. In May of 1984 the Mighty Shrikes began their 17th Western Pacific Indian Ocean deployment. Some of their achievements during the cruise include: 1 2,000 hours and two and one-half years of accident free operations, 500 days 7000 hours FOD free COMLATWINGPAC ' s quarterly safety award winners, 100% plus sortie completion rate, and the highest number of hours flown inj the Air Wing. With statistics such as these, the excellent reputation and continued outstanding performance of the Mighty Shrikes of VA-94 is assured. | 374 I VA-94 CDR L. Doyle Executive Officer LCDR I.L.

Flying the Grumman A-6 Intruder, the squadron is assigned 15 aircraft. The A6E TRAM (Target Recognition Attack Multisensor) is equipped with a surface search radar, state-of-the-art ballistic computer, on board forward-looking infrared laser (FLIR), and several other software changes that make the latest version of the Navy ' s traditional workhorse the finest bomber in the fleet. Crewed by a pilot and bombardier navigator, it performs close air support, interdiction and deep-strike missions. It is capable of detecting, identifying and destroying tactical targets in any weather, day or night. The FLIR provides the aircrew with infrared imagery of targets not detectable visually or with radar and is coupled with a laser-guided weapons delivery system. The Intruders five external store stations can carry any of more than 30 types of bombs, rockets, missiles, naval mines or fuel tanks. All totalled the aircraft can carry over 18,000 pounds of external stores, second only to the B-52. The squadron also employs the KA-6D mission tanker, using th same combat proven airframe as the A-6E, adopted specifically for inflight refueling of other air wing tactical aircraft. The KA-6D ' s internal refueling system allows the aircraft to transfer up to 18,000 pounds of jet fuel to other aircraft on request. The duties of the aircrew are evenly distributed between two men to maximize their efforts in any scenario. The bombardier navigator operates the weapons delivery systems, allowing the pilot to concentrate on the tactical decisions necessary to fly the aircraft. Unique displays show targets and terrain, making mission ingress, target acquisition destruction an( egress possible any time in any weather. The Green Lizards feel the finest all-weather attack aircraft in the free world is manned and maintained by the most highly-trained technicians in the fleet. Others may get called, bu the Green Lizard Intruders get the job done. , 386 I V -95 jL VA-95 CDR Roienberg Executive Officer CDR D.M. Bteniun CDR A.W. Houcli CDR CM. Sims . . ftJ LCOR R.M.

In actual combat, the EA-6B Prowler ' s mission becomes one of protection. During strike operations the Wizards protect other strike aircraft from land or sea missile systems through active electronic jamming of enemy radar systems. The Wizards are also tasked with protecting the ENTERPRISE and its battle group from surface-to-surface and air-to-surface missile attacks by electronically jamming the radars of the missile launch platforms. In peacetime the Wizards provide VAQ-133 radar jamming of our own units or units of friendly countries, preparing them for actual combat. VAQ 133 was commissioned in 1969. Transitioning from the EKA-3B Skywarrior in 1971, the Wizards were the first EA-6B squadron to deploy with the EXCAP version of the Prowler. Upomj completing this, the tenth, operational deployment, the Wizards will transition to the Improved Capabilities (ICAP II) version of the Prowler. The new Prowler has significantly improved its jamming capabilities, making it the most sophisticated tactical jammer aircraft in the world. With its compliment of 24 officers and 170 enlisted the Wizards of VAQ 1 33 have won two Battle Efficiency Awards, fivt CNO Safety Awards and the Meritorious Unit Citation. Recently surpassing 10,000 mishap free flight hours the Wizards look forward to returning with Carrier Air Wing ELEVEN to USS I ENTERPRISE. 398 VAQ-i:i3 CDR R. Bennett Executive Officer CDR R.

As an early warning platform, the E-2C ' s radar provides Enterprise ' s battle group with a three million cubic mile surveillance envelope; detects and assesses threats from approaching high speed aircraft, and monitors maritime traffic. As an aerial combat information center and aircraft controller, the Wallbangers provide the battle group fighter and attack aircraft with the necessary data to intercept potential enemy aircraft prior to their approach — in both time and distance — to their striking zone. Long range detection, automatic track initiation, and high speed processing, combine to enable the VAW-117 E-2C ' s computers to automatically and simultaneously track air and maritime targets and control airborne interceptors. The E-2C ' s system is able to operate independently, in cooperation with other aircraft, or in concert with ground operations. As a search and rescue platform, the Wallbangers provide to the scene and on scene coordination of air and surface rescue efforts. As a communications relay platform, the E-2C fulfills a very vital link in keeping task group force commanders informed of the most up to date operational data. The VAW-n? Wallbangers are 30 officers and 150 enlisted personnel dedicated to fly, operate, and maintain the complex mechanical, electrical, and electronic systems that is the E-2C — and, in many cases, the Battle Croup ' s first line of offense defense battle plan formulation. The Night Hawks hold the 1983 Battle Efficiency and CNO Safety Awards, which makes them the best E-2 squadron in the Pacific Fleet. But don ' t tell VAW-1 1 7; they believe they ' re the best squadron in the United States Navy. 408 VAW-n 7 m CDR M. Allen Executive Officer CDR R.W. Bromon CDR T.E. Magee ICDR Coolt LT A.R.

Flying the Navy ' s premier supersonic fighter aircraft, the F-14A Tomcat, they represent the first line of defense for the entire battle group. Under the command of CDR Lyie G. Bien, the Aardvarks assume this vital role with dedication and honor. While preparing for deployment at their home base of NAS Miramar, San Diego, the ' Varks continued to add to their impressive record. For the second year in a row, they won both the COMFITAEWWINGPAC High Noon Gun Derby and the coveted Mutha trophy which is awarded annually to the most spirited F-14 squadron in the Pacific Fleet. Blessed with superior sailors and intrepid young aviators, the ' Varks combine a fim honed degree of teamwork, discipline and motivation to guarantee their readiness to do battle and support their reputation as the Navy ' s premier fighter squadron.

Higgini AAR. lohnson VF-114 429 On June 22, 1955, four officers and 20 enlisted men assembled at NAS Moffett Field to hear CDR William ANDERSON read the orders commissioning Fighter Squadron 213 (VF-213). A week later the BLACK LIONS received the first of their F2-H3 BANSHEES and began a 29-year span that would include five types of fighter aircraft and 21 deployments on six different carriers. February 1964 saw VF-213 taking a quantum jump forward in fighter capability by accepting the first of their new, two-seat F-4C PHANTOMS. An 18-month training period followed during which the BLACK LIONS pioneered and standardized much of the Tactical Data System operations in use today. In November 1965, VF-213 joined Air Wing ELEVEN and began the first of six combat deployments in Southeast Asia aboard USS KITTY HAWK (CV-63). This deployment marked the first use of the PHANTOM as a conventional bomber, a role destined to make the PHANTOM the mainstay of the U.S. Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps. Over the next seven years the BLACK LIONS flew over 11,500 combat missions, delivering over 6,000 tons of ordnance. After two peacetime deployments aboard USS KITTY HAWK (CV-63) and a NATO cruise on USS AMERICA (CV-66), the BLACK LIONS took another quantum step forward in fighter capability. VF-213 stood up as an operational TOMCAT squadron in December 1 976. After returning from the 1981 East Coast cruise aboard USS AMERICA (CV-66), the BLACK LIONS were immediately back into an intensive turnaround training period for their first deployment aboard USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65). At NAF El Centro they maintained their reign as the number one F-14 gunners, getting 413 hits on a single banner, a record for an F-14 squadron which broke their own record of 276. In April 1982 the squadron picked up an additional mission, Tactical Air Reconnaissance, and began training with the new Tactical Air Reconnaissance Pod System (TARPS). The BLACK LIONS were the number one F-14 squadron in the 3rd annual Photo Derby and also winners of the first Recce Rally sponsored by COMFITAEWWINCPAC. In July 1982, VF-213 became the first F-14 squadron to successfully shoot four PHOENIX missiles (AIM-54) during O.R.E., along with a record number of SPARROWS (AIM-7) and SIDEWINDERS (AIM-9). The BLACK LIONs deployed aboard USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65) in September 1982 for an eight-month cruise to the Western Pacific and Indian Oceans. The ENTERPRISE, and her air wing, participated in Navy Battle Group Operations to the Northern Pacific Ocean for the first time in many years. During these operations, the BLACK LIONs intercepted and escorted a record number of Soviet reconnaissance aircraft that overflew the carrier task group on surveillance missions. During Indian Ocean operations the BLACK LIONS flew the longest tasked flight from a carriei for a F-14 TOMCAT when they flew a 1,755-mile TARPS mission. In June 1983 the BLACK LIONS began the turnaround training cycle once again for another WESTPAC deployment aboard the USS Enterprise (CVN-65). In October the BLACK LIONS conducted carrier qualifications aboard USS Enterprise (CVN-65) in which VF-213 compiled 105 day and 80 night arrestments in a four-day period while fully qualifying 15 pilots. In December 1983 the BLACK LIONS once again demonstrated their TARPS expertise by winning the Recce Rally 84-2 sponsored by COMFITAEWWINCPAC. The intensive turnaround training continued in the spring of 1984 with two deployments aboard USS Enterprise in February and March that culminated in the squadron ' s successful completion of O.R.E. in early April. The Black Lions deployed aboard USS ENTERPRISE (CVN-65) for a seven-month Western Pacific and Indian Ocean cruise. CDR T. Payne Commanding Officer CDR T.

Suber VF-213 441 VS-21 The Fighting Redtails of Air Anti-Submarine Squadron 21 (VS-21) were the first operational squadron to fly the Lockheed S-3A Viking. No other carrier-based aircraft combines all the anti-submarine capabilities of the S-3A. We continue to successfully operate this multi-mission platform aboard USS Enterprise in support of her Battle Group Foxtrot. The primary mission for the VS-21 Fighting Redtails is anti-submarine warfare (ASW). We are capable of carrying high explosive ordnance and anti-shipping mines as well as torpedoes. No less important is the ability of the S-3 Viking to provide logistics, search and rescue, and medivac support. Often the Fighting Redtails are called upon to bring the mail from loved ones back home. A downed aircrewman or distressed vessel can count on the Redtails to find them. The S-3 ' s ability to loiter over an area for extended periods, coupled with its high dash capability, make it a feared and respected opponent of all submariners. To assist the search, track and attack phases we have at our disposal several sensors. One, the MAD boom, or magnetic anomaly detector, can be extended from the rear of the aircraft. It aids in the detection of underwater targets. Assisting in the surface search ASW effort i our high resolution radar and forward looking infrared radar (FLIR), This FLIR can positively identify a surface contact during the blackest of nights. Tactical planners back aboard the Enterprise can receive from an S-3A over a LINK Net all generated surface contacts, as well as the entire ASW problem. The integral electronic support measures antennas, or ESM, can| detect and fix electronic emissions from incoming aircraft, surface ships or submarines before they become a threat. it requires well-trained and positively motivated crewmen to manage the many systems on board the S-3A and equally trainc and motivated maintenance personnel to keep the systems working to their maximum potential. These are the type of menl who make up the Fighting Redtails and make the Lockheed Vikil the invaluable asset it is to the USS Enterprise, the fleet and ou country. 442 VS-2 1 LT B.A. Rodgers LT |.T.

Prior to commissioning, VRC-50 was an Atsugi based VR-21 detachment. The newly formed squadron initially operated the C-1A Trader aircraft for Carrier Onboard Delivery (COD). The introduction of the C-2A Greyhound, 6 December 1966, marked the beginning of the new squadron ' s totally new capability for providing COD service to the Fleet. The C-2A has a cabin capacity of 10,000 pounds and cruises at 240 knots for a distance of over 1,000 miles. The 10,000-pound cabin load may consist of passengers (26 maximum), mail, or cargo, or any combination of the three. Seven months later, on 11 |uly 1967, the CT-39E Sabreliners (light transport jet) arrived and a new phase of operations commenced. The CT-39E aircraft cruises at 450 knots, at a maximum altitude of 45,000 feet, which provides rapid, fatigue-free transportation between WESTPAC military and civilian airports. During VRC-50 ' s first year of operation as a squadron, its personnel flew 10,374 hours while transporting 8,646 passengers, 357 tons of mail, and 753 tons of cargo. In the years that followed, VRC-50 continued to grow in si e and importance as an integral part of the SEVENTH Fleet. In September 1968, a permanent VRC-50 detachment was established at Naval Air Station, Cubi Point, Republic of the Philippines. VRC-50 then operated 10 C-2A ' s in direct support of SEVENTH Fleet carriers operating in the Tonkin Gulf, Philippines Sea, and South China Sea. In recognition of VRC-50 ' s efforts and tontributions in the Far East, the squadron was awarded the National Defense Transportation Award in 1968. 458 I VRC-50 LT Billington AMH1 Chavez AE2 Brodcway AMS2 Sleimr % VRC-50 AD2 Meskimen AT3 Busalacchi AME3 Hamilton AMS3 Howell AME3 Mikolatczak ADAN Murphy AEAN Wagner AMS3 Reilly TECHIR Bornschien AZAN Henry AMSAN Little AMSAN Storro VRC-SO 1 459 PSALM 23 The Lord is my constant companion There is no need that He cannot fulfill Whether His course for me points to the mountaintops of glorious ectasy or to the valleys of human suffering. He is by my side. He is ever present with me. He is close beside me hen I tread the dark streets of danger and even when I flirt with death itself ' He will not leave me. When the pain is severe. He is near to comfort. When the burden is heavy. He is there to lean upon. When depression darkens my soul. He touches me with eternal joy. When I feel empty and alone. He fills the aching vacuum with His power My security is in his promise to be near to me always, and in the knowledge that He will never let me go. RMC Urry Max POPE.
