CINCUSNAVEUR dialed 9-1-1 GW responded at 30 knots On August 5, George Washington was diverted from scheduled exercises in the eastern Mediterranean and called back to the Adriatic Sea. The National Command Authority directed GW return to the area and provide immediate air support. The reason, to respond to Bosnian-Serb violations of the weapons exclusion zone on August 3. Two fully loaded EA-6Bs from VAQ-140 were launched from GW approximately 600 miles out to provide electronic warfare support. Two A-6E Intruders from VA-34 were also sent for refueling support. Once refueling was completed, the A-6Es returned to GW. The EA-6Bs stayed overnight in Italy and returned to GW the next day. At the same time the planes were launched, GW’s Engineering and Reactor crews were hard at work below decks ensuring that a speed of 30-plus knots was maintained during the entire transit back to the Adriatic. Their efforts ensured GW was on station on August 6, flying missions. It was no coincidence, however, that as soon as GW had arrived back in the waters off Bosnia, tensions quieted. The Bosnian-Scrbs once again decided to comply with UN directives. The GW CVW-7 team made yet another difference in shaping world events; so much so that the crew’s port visit to Haifa, Israel, thought to be in doubt after the ship was diverted west, remained on schedule.
