Crowe History of USS Independence The first Independence was a continental sloop of 1O guns, under the command of Capt. John Young. The second ship bearing the name of Independence was a 74-gun vessel. launched in 1814. Until it was placed out of commission in 1912 the second Indy served as a flagship and a receiving ship, Independence number three lived a short life as a member of the Naval Overseas Transportation Service. ltwas commissioned in 1918 and decommissioned in 1919. The fourth Independence, one of the first aircraft carriers to be converted from a cruiser hull, was launched in 1942. The Indepen- dence then Ioined up with the Essex and Yorktown in a strike against the Japanese held Marcus Islands. Then on November 20, 1943, the Indy was attacked by Japanese torpedo bombers and took three hits in the starboard side, of which only one torpedo exploded. The Indy then returned to Pearl I-Iarbor for repairs and was again ready for action by July 1944. I-Ier first mission back in service was as a night carrier with a spe- cially trained air group. Within a years duration the Independence was assigned as one of the target ships in the atomic tests at Bikini Island. Damaged but not sunk she was towed to Kwajalein and decommissioned in August 1946. In two years of war, this ship won eight battle stars. On January 1O, 1959, USS INDEPENDENCE CCVA 621 was commissioned at the Brooklyn, New York, Naval Shipyard. Officials presiding at the ceremony included the Honorable Thomas S. Gates. Secretary of the Navy, and Adm. Arleigh A. Burke, Chief of Naval Operations. Capt. Fihodam Y. McElroy read his orders and was the first commanding officer to assume command of the aircraft carrier INDEPENDENCE. After the ceremonies, congratulations came from countries throughout the world and from leaders of foreign nations. The most remembered of these congratulations was a telegram and gift, a sil- ver coffee service, from the citizens of Independence, Iowa, popula- tion 4,865 In 1962, INDEPENDENCE was ordered to the Cuban coastline by President John F, Kennedy as part of the naval blockade during the Cuban Missile Crisis. In 1964, the ship broke almost all of its own aircraft operational records during a 217-day at-sea period that included over 1OO days off the coast of Vietnam in the South China Sea. For her outstanding performance during that period INDEPENDENCE was awarded the Navy Unit Commendation. Following a short yard period in 1966, INDEPENDENCE hosted the carrier suitability tests for the Navys first vertical take-off and landing aircraft, In 1970, INDEPENDENCE was awarded the Meritorious UnitCom- mendation for her performance in Jordanian contingency Opera- tions. The ship hosted the change of command events for 2nd Fleet in August 1971, and a month later, crossed the Arctic Circle, making each crew member an official l'Bluenose. lndy's 150,000th arrested landing occurred in February 1972, shortly after the Chief of Naval Operations, Adm. Elmo Zumwalt, visited the ship. In 1973, President Richard M. Nixon delivered his annual Armed Forces Day address from INDEPENDENCE. In 1977. after lndy's 12th Mediterranean deployment, it began a lengthy complex overhaul. The work lasted for nine months and cost over S90-million. The ship was awarded its first Navy Expeditionary Medal in 1980 for her performance in lranfAfghanistan contingency operations. Dur- ing that deployment, INDEPENDENCE made the first carrier south- to-north transit of the Suez Canal after the canal's reopening. INDEPENDENCE made two more deployments, one to the Indian Ocean, and one to the Mediterranean. The Navy Expeditionary Medal was awarded to the ship in 1982 for its work with the Multi-National Peacekeeping Force in Lebanon. The year 1983 was the most exciting for the crew and her air wing. In Operation Urgent Fury, the ship participated in the assault of Grenada, and the combined Indy and USS JOI-IN F. KENNEDY car- rier battle group air strike against Syrian targets in Lebanon proved the ship ready to carry out its mission on short notice. INDEPENDENCES 25th Anniversary year, 1984, began with one Mediterranean deployment and ended with another. The ship was awarded its third Navy Expeditionary Medal, and its second Navy Unit Commendation as result of the year's work. The following year, INDEPENDENCE was rewarded for her consistent outstanding per- formance by earning the Atlantic FIeet's Battle Efficiency Award for the 18-month competitive period. It was the ship's first such award. In 1985, Indy entered Philadelphia Naval Shipyard to begin the Service Life Extension Program ISLEPI. The program consists of three phases-fleet modernization, ship's life-enhancing alterations, and repair and replacement. The SLEP is truly a cross between new construction and comprehensive overhaul. Having completed SLEP in 1988, INDEPENDENCE will now serve the United States of America well into the 21 st century. . .Q-ff5g34'n1 1' 9' 4 99 99 gm .41 .ss 95 v 5. -. . . 5-Q' .

LANGLEY was commissioned on March 20, 1922. Adm. Moffett told a large gathering, The airfleet of an enemy will never get within striking distance of our coasts while our aircraft carriers are able to carry the preponderance of airpower to sea, and so the aircraft carrier was born. ln 1927, the Navy accepted the first Douglas T2D torpedo bomber. A twin-engine plane, it had the characteristic folding wings of modern carrier aircraft for more compact storage on carriers, and could be equipped with floats or wheels. Largely through the persistent efforts of Adm. Moffett, two additional carriers, the USS SARATOGA and the USS LEXINGTON, were commissioned in December 1927 and January 1928. They had been converted from two heavy cruiser hulls which had been scrapped. Fleet exercises in 1930 used the carrier group for the first time as a complete tactical unit, a trend that was to have vast significance in the years ahead. In 1934 the first ship was commissioned which was desig- nated from the keel up as an aircraft carrier, it was the USS RANGER and was assigned to the Pacific Fleet. As World War ll approached, naval aviation expanded greatly, but not fast enough for the task ahead. By 1941, naval aviation included 5,500 aircraft and about 6,700 pilots. Six aircraft carriers were operationally ready when war came on December 7, 1941. Soon the true worth of the aircraft carrier was to become common knowledge. The war plunged the United States in to a massive program of shipbuilding and the aircraft carrier became the striking arm of U.S. naval power. By the end of the war, naval aviation could boast of 41,200 planes, 28 full size aircraft carriers and 71 smaller aircraft carriers designed for convoy escort duty. One of the lessons of World War ll became apparent early in the conflict. Surface forces were not effective unless protected by airpower Amphibious operations could be carried out only under the friendly shield of carrier-based aircraft. Naval aviation has come a long way since 1922, the early mechanical flywheel catapult was replaced by hydraulic power, and later by modern steam catapults. In the late 1940's and early 1950's the U.S. Navy developed the system to permit safe night air operation from carrier decks, and introduced jet aircraft to the arsenal for the first time. The straight deck was replaced by the wider and longer angle deck thanks to the innovative efforts of our British allies. This broadened the flexi- bility of the carrier by allowing simultaneous launching and landing of aircraft. The world's first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, USS ENTERPRISE CCVN 653 was commissioned in 1965. The second, USS Nllv1lTZ CCVN 683 was commissioned in 1975, followed by her sister ship USS EISENHOWER CCVN 693 in 1977. Powered by two nuclear reactors the NIMITZ class carrier can operate for more than 13 years before nuclear refueling is required. The aircraft carrier will continue to be the backbone of seapower The ability to deploy rapidly to any area of the world, arriving fully ready without external support, and the impressive show of United States resolve and concern represented by this presence make the aircraft carrier the most versatile and effec- tive of all military peacekeeping influences. .1-. .mf-p ., .. , ., - . .L 21, x., -f ? 1 V A vii .5 .Q-f 1, . f , ' f-H'-f, , .

On Aug. 1, 1950, VC-801 was redesignated as VS-801 at Miami, Florida with 18 TBM-3E Avengers. The squadron was recalled to active duty on Feb. 1, 1951 due to the military mobili- zation associated with the outbreak of the Korean War and moved its home station to Naval Air Station, Nor- folk, Va. On April 1, 1953 Air Antisubmarine Squadron 801 based at Opalocka Naval Air Station, Miami, Fla., was redesignated as Air Antisubmarine Squadron THIRTY. During these early years, the squadrons emblem was developed from the original theme of a hunter cat stalking its prey. In June 1960, VS-30 changed its base of operations from Norfolk, Virginia to Naval Air Station Key West, Fla., and was designated to the S-2 TRACKER Readi- ness Training Squadron forthe Atlantic Fleet. As the East Coast RAG, VS-30 took nuggets fresh from the training command and honed their skills to the fine edge needed to be fleet aviators, thereby earning the nickname Diamondcutters In October 1962, VS-30 crews integrated fleet squadrons during the Cuban Mis- sile Crisis. On April 1, 1976, after 22 years of flying the S-2 Tracker, VS-30 once again became an operational squadron and transitioned to the S-3A Viking. The squadron received training in the maintenance and tac- tical utilization of their new aircraft at Naval Air Station North Island, California. The Diamondcutters began their first operational deployment with the S-3A Viking in April 1978 embarked aboard USS FORRESTAL fCV 595 as part of Carrier Air Wing SEVENTEEN QCVW 171. Returning form the Mediterranean in October 1978, the Diamondcutters began preparing for their second Mediterranean deployment with the S-3A, which began in November 1979. During this deployment, VS-30, CVW 17 and USS FORRESTAL were members of the first Carrier Battle Group since World War ll to be the only Carrier Battle Group in the Mediterranean. The Diamondcutters returned in May 1980 and deployed again to the Mediterranean aboard USS FORRESTAL in March 1981. This third deployment included opera- tions in the North Atlantic as part of Ocean Venture. 81 The Diamondcutters deployed for a fourth time in June 1982. This deployment included operations in the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean with suppOf'l Of the Battle Group's Participation in the Palestinian eva- cuation of Lebanon. in July 1988, VS-30 became the first fleet squadron to receive the enhanced capability l-larpoon!lSAR equipped S-SB. In August, 1988 the squadron dGP'0Y9d aboard USS INDEPENDENCE iCV 621 for the Around the Horn cruise. In February 1989, VS-30 became the first fully operational S-3B squadron in the Navy. , 4 ' 171 fj'iV'rf5 5 P ' Q if : 'TQ- ,, n. 2.-.wgjci '+?'ifieg:1f.,, , , r. .V H . it .

During the post WWII era, Naval Aviation experienced frequent organizational changes, and on November 15, 1946, VT-153 was redesignated VA-16A. They made one deployment on USS ANTIETAIVI QCV 361 during 1947, flying Grum- man TBM-3E Avengers. Yet another redesigna- tion occurred on July 15, 1948 when the final identity became official. VA-155 received Dou- glas AD-2 Skyraiders during this period, but the squadron was disestablished on Nov. 30, 1949.- The second squadron to bear the VA-155 deSlQ nation, and the one to originate the Silver Foxes name, was established as VA- 71E OH Aug. 29, 1956 as a unit of the Naval Air Resenle as Naval Air Station Glenview, IL. VA-155's third incarnation occurred ten YQHTS after the previous unit to hold the design-HUOII stood down.

Both names proudly identify VAW-125, but each has its own origin and history. Torchbearers is the name selected by the men of the squadron many years ago. This name symbolizes VAW-125's 1 mission Airborne Early Warning and is the basis for the design of its squadron insignia, which is displayed through g decals and patches. Each item on the I insignia has a special meaning the torch represents the squadron s mis sion of lighting the way for the others the lightning bolt represents the sophis ticated electronic equipment used and the trident is the symbol for naval strik ing power Tigertail is VAW 125 s tactical call sign While in flight it identifies the squadron as VAW 125 to other aircraft ships and airbases 235 Commanding Officer VF-103 Executive Officer Fighter Squadron ONE HUNDRED THREE was commissioned in 1952 and has run the gamut of fighter aircraft, each more sophisticated than the previous, the prop driven, gullwinged F-4U Corsair, the F-9 Cougar, both of Korean War fame, the F-8 Crusader, the Navy's first supersonic fighter, the combat-proven workhorse F-4J and F- 48 Phantom Il, and today's highly maneuverable, swing-wing, TARPS configured, F-14A Tomcat. Beyond the acquisition of successively more complex aircraft, the Sluggers have shown themselves totally capable of performing any mission. : f-'x f75.'.v'4u?E1- f f 'EZ' . lf-7f.E-g?-.i.If5lr.f'w5g- Q W f- '4'.5:f'1c. gg 1, 'Z ' f L1-5:22.55-.

Subsequently, it boomed, becoming one of the largest cities of the early colonies, and, for a short while, their capital. It has since declined. Today, Philadelphia is the fourth largest city in the United States, and can boast of the largest freshwater port in the world. INDEPENDENCE was lucky enough to have spent three years 11985-1988i in the Philadelphia Naval Shipyard while undergoing the Service Life Extension Program.

The inspection was divided into three phasesg the pre- undervvay phase, the underway phase, and the open-and-inspect phase. According to LCDFI John Canaday, the ships Damage Control Assistant, The inspectors looked at everythingg there's not a thing they missed.

For some, the beach proved to be the ideal retreat for a little peace and quiet, while others chose to hit the links. Regardless of personal preferences, St. Thomas held a multi- tude of possibilities for every Indy sailor.

The beauty of the panoramic tapestry 5 woven by the rare combination of an aquamarine sea studded with islands etched in brilliantly white sand, waving palms, tumbling green mountains, and E expanses of bare grey rock which surrounds the city is matchless.

Port call: Acapulco Acapulco is the most popular resort in Mexico particularly in winter and spring. During Holy Week, there is a flight from the capital every three minutes. The town stretches for 16 kilometers in a series of bays and cliff coves. The hotels, of which there are 250, are mostly perched high in order to catch the breeze, for between 1130 and 1630 the heat is sizzling. lt has all the paraphernalia of a booming resort, smart shops, night clubs, red light district, golf courses, and street vendors, as well as air pollution. The famous beaches and expensive hotels are a different world from the squa- if lid streets, dirty hotels, and crowded shops which are only two minutes walk , away. There are about 20 beaches, all with fine golden sand, deck chairs, and l parasailing. The two most popular beaches are the Caluta, and the surf pounded Los Hornos. ,T ' ,I -1 253- eta, ,5 5,1 , , ,., 55545 - 1' Ji-' if . mi i i l i A :: :af-dal 'i i 'Q -le +2 J, X, i ENUEN EEL E?

T K X V may v7 yofloo 02 1 ., Y 1-'unix California's third largest city, San Diego, is constantly changing, and always charming. Much of the city's appeal lies in its location, climate, and rich Mexi- can - Spanish heritage. San Diego's graceful, well presenfed architecture, and low-key lifestyle reflect its pride in her long history. The oldest European settlement in California, San Diego was established in 1769 when Father Junipero Serra founded a mission on Presidio l-lill. A village sprouted at the bottom of the hill and remained although the mission had been moved in previous years. The village surrounding Presidio l-lill, Old Town, thrived and became the cen- ter of San Diego from 1820 through the l87O's. A vigorous shipping trade emerged and eventually, the city's commerce center was relocated to the har- bor area. The developing new business district, New Town, rapidly grew in importance. San Diego owes much of its expansion during the 1900's to its great harbor. lt is one of the world's best deep water anchorages, and houses the US. Navy's largest fleet, the 11th Naval District. The city was known as a war town during the war years. Today that reputation has been replaced. San Diego is simply laid-back. H San Diego's near perfect weather makes it an all-year vacation city. Residents enjoy an average temperature of 70 degrees, low humidity, and about 10 of rainfall annually. Constant sea breezes help keep the city's air fresh and clean. Small wonder that San Diego is a favorite vacation site. far' M5 sw is rail!! nueieta lliuffq. 0166? W wwf B ,WV -ad!!-,dp , ,fn - fs ,,.-s ,v .,,. 'N nh V.
