Moriarty, USN CHIEF OF STAFF Carrier Division Eighteen Bear Admiral Donald Gay, Jr., in his flagship, USS Essex, performs the dual roles of Commander Carrier Divi- sion Eighteen and Commander Anti-Submarine Warfare Carrier Group Three. Anti-Submarine Warfare Carrier Group Three is an anti-submarine warfare group of air, surface and sub-surface units directly responsible to the Commander Anti-Submarine Warfare Eorce, U.S. Atlantic Eleet. Commander Carrier Division Eighteen is the administrative title of the Commander while COMASWCARGRU Three signifies command of the highly integrated ASW task group which is centered around Essex. His mission is to plan the operations and training of ASWCABGBU Three and to direct the operations as they are carried out. l-le has a staff of T3 officers and 28 men to aid him. To do its iob the Elag must maintain its own Elag Bridge, Elag Blot, Elag Communications and, of course, Elag Office Spaces. A tour of these spaces wi ll present a scene of feverish activity as the officers and men go about their numerous tasks. The Flag Qffice is located on the O2 level. To anyone who enters, this must certainly be one of the most foreboding offices on the ship. For there, amid cigar smoke strong enough to sting the eye, are the typewriters and reproduction machines which turn out the reams of paperwork which keeps the task force awake nights. The nerve center of the Task Group is in Elag Plot and Elag Bridge. There one can view much movement as the Staff Watch and Gperations Officers direct the ships and aircraft under the supervision of the Admiral sitting in a large green leather chair on the port side of Elag Bridge. During the cruise, told in pictures on these pages, ASW Carrier Task Group Three added new laurels to an al- ready illustrious reputation. Erom the Caribbean to the North Atlantic, in the Med and Arabian Sea, the job has been done and done well, thanks to the teamuwork of carrier, aircraft and destroyers, Elag is proud to be part of the team.

Griffin, USN, The beginning of This cruise was unevenTful wiTh The squadron providing a varieTy of services for The Taskforce buT afTer ioining The U.S. SixTh l:leeT aT GibralTar we seTTled down To our primary mission of deTecTing submarines. Ofher CVSfhelicopTer squadrons had operaTed wiTh The SixTh l:leeT before buf This was The firsf Time The Sl-l-3A Sea King had operaTed in European or Middle EasTern waTers. Combining hard work wiTh well earned liberTy, we deparTed Barcelona wiTh a record breaking lil mission ready aircrafT waifing To meeT any challenge. This ex- ceprional l0OCZ3 availabiliry represenTed The culminafion of many hours of hard work by all hands, many of whom volunTarily gave up Their off-duTy hours in an efforT To insure maximum availabiliry and performance. This hard work paid dividends when we ioined an aTTack carrier Task force and TransiTed The STraiTs of Sicily. AfTer a series of Top level conferences, we deparTed AugusTa Bay in an opposed sorTie and seT anoTher perform- ance record. The squadron as a Team wiTh oTher ASW uniTs successfully defended The deparTure of a maior porTion of The SixTh l:leeT by deTecTing and TheoreTic'ally desTroying Two aggressor submarines. We had an unprecedenfed l2 aircrafT airborne during This evoluTion. For our parT in These exercises, Admiral Gay senT The squadron a mes- sage of congraTulaTions for a iob well done. . AT Jidda, l-lS-9 flew aboard The American Ambassador To Saudi Arabia and 23 prominenT Saudi Arabian digni- Taries. In Karachi, we exchanged anTi-submarine warfare ideas wiTh The Royal Navy and The l3akisTan Navy. Also in Karachi, we applied special painT markings To Two of our helicopfers and They were used as RoTary Wing l3arges by Admiral Gay and oTher senior officers. As lafe as ll December, off Corsica, l-lS-9 demonsTraTed The poTenTial of Their aircrafT To a group of Germa n Air Force Officers. l-lelicopTer AnTi-Submarine Squadron Nine personnel can look back on This cruise wiTh pride in The knowledge ThaT Their iob was well done.

We may never have suspecTed ThaT Aden is one of The busiesT -harbours in The world wiTh some five Thousand six hundred ships calling for refueling every year and abouT Two hundred Thousand visiTors.

Upon going ashore iT proved To be one of Europe's cosmopoliTan ciTies oTTering iusT abouT anyThing anyone could wish Tor. The single greaTesT aTTracTion in Naples is The exTraordinary NaTional Museum, The mosT imporTanT archeological museum in Europe. Those oT us Trom Essex who visiTed The NaTional Museum, accusTomed To having each Trame of our ship numbered and signs everywhere, were hopelessly losT because There are liTerally no signs inside The museum nor are any oT The exhibiTs idenTiTied or described. The collecTions of Roman and Greek glass and silver work, as well as The gold iewelry, amazed us wiTh Their delicacy, good TasTe and skillful workmanship. Just wandering around, iT again seems Tha'T an accumulaTion of seemingly insigniTicanT impressions will ulTi- maTely be responsible Tor our memories of Naples. In The crowded residenTia1l disTricTs a perpeTual Dress Ship is mainTained using everyThing Tram Table cloThs To undergarmenTs. Along The wider avenues, such as The one-way Via l3arTenope, some cars race along aT speeds ThaT would make a hardened New York Taxi driver Turn pale. Small groups of Essex personnel could be observed waiTing in despair aT busy sTreeT corners unTil a young woman or old man would raise a casual arm and saunTer across The sTreeT, looking sTraighT ahead. ln hoTel siTTing rooms lTalians waTched opera and concerTs on Television.
