The predecessors of a ship lend To her The name which she bears, and around iT are buiIT The Tradifions, regulaTions and records which every subsequenT ship of ThaT name musf equal, if noT excel. The name INTREPIP firsr appears in American Naval hisTory, af The very beginnings of our counTry's sea power, during The TripoliTan War, ISOI-ISGS. IT was given To a 60 Ton keTch, called The Masfico, capfured from The Tripoli- Tans. She had originally been builr as a bomb keTch by France in U98 for NapoIeon's EgypTian ExpediTion, and was sold To The Bashaw of Tripoli afTer iTs failure. She was capTured by The American schooner, ENTERPRISE, in December of ISO3, as she was aTTempTing To run The American blockade. The name INTREPID was very probably given To This newly capTured vessel because of The mission ThaT was To be assigned To her, since iT is synonymous wiTh courageous , fearless , bold , and undciunTed , These Qualifies would be needed To slip inTo Tripoli Bay under The guns of The Bashaw's forfgarouse no suspicion among all The Tripoliron ships moored in The harbor, sink The 36 gun frigaTe, Pl-IILADELPI-IIA, an American shipThaT had fallen inTo The hands of The Tripoliron piraTes, which now posed a Threaf To our own forces and, compleTely unescorTed, escape. IT was hoped by Commodore Preble, The Commander of The American blockade fleeT, and LT STephan DecaTur, Jr., C211 years of agel who ioinTIy conceived of The plan wiTh Preble, ThaT INTREPID, wiTh her Middle EasTern rigging would noT arouse suspicion among The TripoIiTans when she enTered Their harbor. DecaTur, who was Commander of The frigaTe ENTERPRISE, volunTeered To command INTREPID on This mission and when he asked for volunTeers To go along wiTh him, every officer and man aboard his ship sTepped forward. Five officers and sixTy-Two men were chosen from ENTERPRISE and five officers from Admiral Preble's flagship, CONSTITU- Tl0N.+ Disguised as Turks and carefully rehearsed in Their mission, lNTREPlD's crew waiTed ouT a six day gale be- fore beginning Their Task...a Task whose acco mplishmenT was To be called The mosT bold and daring acT of The age by The BriTish Admiral, Lord Nelson. On The nighT of February lo, l8O-41, INTREPID slipped quieTIy and un- obTrusively inTo Tripoli I-larbor. When she was righf under PFIILADELPI-llA's guns she was challenged, buT De- caTur's Turkish speaking pilor replied by saying ThaT They were blockade runners who had IosT Their anchors in The sTorm, and wanTed To Tie up alongside The frigaTe. The Tripolifans obligingly senT ouT a boaT wiTh a line, while INTREPID senT her own boaT wiTh anofher. IT was noT unTiI INTREPID was firmly secured, fore and afT, To Pl'lILA- DELPI-IIA ThaT The Turks comprehended whaT was happening. Before They could sound The alarm, DecaTur and his men, armed wiTh curlasses, were aboard. A ong The firsr Ten IIITREPID officers was LieuTenanT J.

To date, lNl'fQEFlD is still tbe only aircraft carrier to ever bave rigged, and actually used, a sail to navigate witb. 'A'-'orkmen labored over INTQEFID and attempted to repair ber battle damage to tbe extent tbat sbe migbt steam to l'lunter's Faint. fbe buge bole in ber port auarter was filled ltbougb not made watertigbtl and ber crumpled rud- der was removed, but no new one added in tbe mistaken belief tbat llNl'l'lQEFlD could steer witb ber engines alone. if tbe last voyage did not conclusively prove tbat INTREFID could not be reliably steered by ber engines alone, tne next one did. Temporary repairs baving been completed, tbe order to flood tbe dfydock was given at Ollll on tbe morning of 29 February l91l1l. By lOl5, INTREPID was on ber way out of tbe dock, and at l202 sbe was joined by the de- stroyers CAFFS and lVlElQTZ, wbo were to escort ber back to San Francisco. Once in tbe open sea, bowever, TG UQ, as tbis tbreesome was designated, discovered tbat llNl-fREFlD was totally unmanageable witbout a rudder. ,itll possible combinations of tbe engines were tried for steering purposes, but even beaded into tbe wind HNITRE- WD would yaw as mucb as 90 degrees. By constantly using tbe engines in opposing directions bowever, it was discovered tbat approximately five to eigbt knots could be made good in any direction, but control at any given instant was problematical.fbis difficulty was due to tbe fact tbat ESSEX Class sbips bad been built to bave very small tactical diameters, an end wbicb bad been acbieved by leaving tbe bull free of any dead wood, and on wbicb tbe rudder acted as a fin stabilizer. Witbout its rudder lNflQEFlD's bebavior was similar to tbat of an arrow witb- out featbers, or an airplane minus its vertical stabilizer. WTFQEFID reported ber difficulties to CINFAC, wbo, in turn, ordered tbe Cruiser Bll?MllNlGl-lAlVl, tbe destroyers .f'fllXlql'LE, Wll.LllXlVl lVlll.l.ElQ, and DEEDE, tbe ocean going tugs TERN, MUNSEE and DUNNADIN and tbe salvage vessel GQAFFLE, to give assistance as necessary to belp INTQEFID return to Fearl l-larbor. A storm blew up bowever, and made it impossible for INTFJEEID to enter tbe cbannel, and so sbe was ordered to remain at its moutb until tbe weatber cleared. Tbis wait lasted for 118 bours during wbicb time the only way control .was maintained was to bave one set of screws going abead standard on one side, and backing two-tbirds on tbe otber. -fbis combination placed an extraordinary strain on ber power plant, and a great many steam and .voter leaks appeared in tbe engine rooms. -fbe use of make-up feed water was also inordinate, and approacbed the capacity of tbe evaporators' ability to provide it.

For Charles F, Brunke of Central Islip, N.Y., it will mean the fulfillment of a hasty vow he made two decades ago aboard the aircraft carrier Intrepid. For 22 ex-shipmates of the detachment of Night Fighter Squadron VFKNJ-101 who were serving aboard the Intrepid the night of Feb. 17, 1944, it will mean an allbexpense paid trip to New York City and af chance to renew acquaintances. That is, if they can be located. And that's why a major liquor manufacturer has launched an extensive campaign -N including eye- catching advertisements-asking for men of the de- tachment to contact it immediately. 1' 'I fl THE STORY starts back in the early months of 1944. Brunke, an aviation machinist's mate first, an- ticipating being stationed on some far-off island, stowed seven bottles of Hiram Walker Imperial whiskey in his gear. , But instead of landgbased duty, half of Squadron YFrNl-101, the Navy first night fighter squadron, was assigned to the carrier Intrepid and the other half of the carrier Enterprise. Brunke's detachment was assigned quarters on the Intrepid's hangar deck and the gear was lashed down in the open at the ship's stern, V Then, on the night of February 17 off the island of Truk, the Japanese hit the carrier with an air attack. A torpedo ripped into the ln- trepld's stern, severely damaging but not sinking the carrier. X My first thought after the attack, Brunke told Navy Times from his home in Central Islip, was ol those seven broken bottles and my whiskey-soaks-di gear. I could see a court martial in my future. He rushed aft, found his gear, and, much to his delight, discovered the seven bottles still intact. Naturally, we all were quite a hit shook hy the attack and some of the boys started calming down by having a little party below decks? Brimke related. Soon, six of the bottles were empty und the men were eagerly eying the seventh. I had to do something to keep at least one bottle intact, Brunke said, so I stood up and told the boys that I wanted to save that last bottle and that if I was alive 20 years from then, I'd open it up and toast each and every one of them from it. BRUNKE AND BOTTLE BRUNKE, who left the Navy as a chief in 1952, admits that at the time he wasn't thinking of a re- union or of even keeping the bottle for 20 years, but only of some way to rescue his whiskey. Maybe some of the men suspected just that, Any- way, they insisted that if he were serious, he would get the detachment? skipper to autograph the label. And that's how the bottle came to be inscribed Surxfix'or of seven torpedoed aboard the USS lntrcpid Fffb. 17, J944. It was signed by Lt. C. L. Swede Kullbc-rg, Lt. D. A. Dear Old Dad Donovan, and Ens. Charles Sanford. ' For 20 years, Brunke has carried that bottle with him as he moved around the country, Ile admits that he forgot about it for awhile when it was parked away, but not long ago when he moved to his present home it came to light among his possessions. He says he was tempted to open it up several times- but never did. Now in the oil burner repair business, Brunke was working on the furnace of a liquor store recently when he casually mentioned to the owner that he had at home a 20'year-old bottle of Hiram Walker Imperial. A salesman in the store overheard his remark and told the Hiram Walker people. It wasnt long be- fore they were in touch with Brunke and learned his t K , S on 0 0 1 NQW THEY'R'E GOING to help the Navy veteran make his toast with the old Imperial -M and in the presence of his old shipmates, if they can be found. For those who are located, the company is :tag- ing ai reunion dinner with all the trimmings, all fx- penses paid, for them and their wives. We are going to do everything to make this a happy and memorable affair for everyone, says Paul P. Fischer of the companys home office in Detroit. t So far, only two of Brunke's Fx-quadron mates have been located, The skipper--exit, Knllberg now lives in Califmnia - and, ironically cnuugh, former Ens. C. R. Durban was found living within 30 miles of Brunke. Brunke says there were 25 men, including him' self in the dctachmc-nt. He knows of two who have died, This means that there are still 20 exffquadron lTlCJllbEl'S to be heard from. Listed below are the names of the men in the detachment still being gought. Anybody liaxmg in- formation on any of them, get in touch with Nmy Times, An rx-chief with a lwattle-Scarrfd bottle of whiskey will appreciate it. Lt, David A. Dnnnvxn ' En! Hcmwr Gnfcn Env. H.

It first appeared in February 1804 16 when the first INTREPID, A 64 ton ketch, 16 entered Tripoli Harbor and fired the captured 16 Philadelphia. The importance of this act was its Declaration to the world that the young nation was a force for good and not evil--and 16 an international power not to be insulted. 16 On May 16, 1892 the second INTREPID, 16 a 330 ton steamer, was sold. 16 The mystical number reappears in Aug- 16 ust 1943, the commissioning date of the 16 present INTREPID. Six months later, even 16 as the first INTREPID, we were deep in 16 enemy waters, declaring in a naval manner 15 that we were from a nation that was a force 15 for good and not evil. Exactly 140 years after 15 the f1tSt1NTREP1D attacked, we were with 16 a force smashing the enemy. 16 The first INTREPID contributed to the excellent naval tradition of Attack, attack attack . We are proud that the name is still in the attack and that we, a first line vessel, are able to put forth the SHOCKING POWER OF, AMERICAN NAVAL AIRCRAFT. The INTREPID is still, as of yore, a part of this ever forward flying front line ofjustice.

The main meThods Tor carrying This ouT are radio lusing radioTelegraph, radioTelephone and radioTeleTypel and visual lusing Tlashing lighT, semaphore and TlaghoisTi. All oTTicial messages senT or received by These meThods musT clear The com- municaTions oTTice, which is The cenTer oT shipboard communica- Tions. ln addiTion To The above processes The crypTocenTer sees To The encoding and decoding oT messages. AnoTher responsibiliTy oT The communicaTions deparTmenT is The accounTabiliTy Tor regisTered publicaTions auThorized Tor INTRE- PTD.

The 3 main radio rooms are: Qadio l, The main receiving sTaTion and Radio ll and lll, which are TransmiTTer spaces. !3ilThough radio meThods are Tar advanced since They were TirsT esrablished and are by Tar The mainsTay oT communicaTions, visual communicaTions are srill a viTal parT of The overall picTure. There are several reasons Tor This. ln addiTion To being accuraTe They are less subiecT To inTercepTion by The enemy Than are radio means. Secondly, visual communicaTions reauire only The simplesr oT eauipmenT -- eauipmenT noT likely To break down iT The ship Takes a hiT. ln addiTion, visual means oT communicaTions help To lighTen The load on radio meThods when communicaTions TraTTic is heavy. ln porT, The signals division has The responsibiliTy Tor designaieing Through various Tlag hoisTs such evenTs as morning and evening colors, The arrival or deparTure oT The Adniiriil, The Chief oli STTTTT or The CapTain, cihurrh services held on hoard The IN I'l?FTTID, meal hours, and when The alwip has The iriiliTary, iiieilical, or denial guard or The Torres al lriaT parking nik-Tail.

Turtle, AA 1 The existence ot undersea torces make antisubmarine wartare one ot the Navy's most urgent tasks. VS-Q41 along with our other antisubmarine torces, constitutes a strong deterrent to the ene- s.fy's use ot his submarine. Air Antisubmarine Operations have risen trom a position ot relative insigniticance to one ot the most important tunctions ot Naval Aviation. Working as a team with other ASW torces, VS-211 utilizes the carrier based Grumman SQE TRACKER aircratt. The SQE is capable ot detecting and destroying submarines day and night under almost any weather conditions using convention- al or nuclear weapons. The Squadron was initially commissioned on T January T943 at NAS, Nortolk, as VB-T7. The Squadron embarked aboard USS BUNKER l-TILT. and saw action during World War ll. VB-T7 re- turned to the States in March T944, to train and prepare tor a second combat tour aboard USS l-TGRNET. Upon return ot the Squadron to the United States, VB-T7 was awarded the Rresi- dential Unit Citation. The post-war period was one ot great change tor VB-T7. Gn November TS, T946, it was redesignated as VASE and again re- designated as VA-611 in July T948. During this period the Squad- ron was embarked aboard USS WRIGHT and USS TVTTDWAY with TBM-2 and TBM-3 aircratt. With the advent ot the Navy's increased interest in Air Anti- submarine Wartare, the squadron was'once again redesignated as VC-211 on April S, T91T9. It was not until 20 April T950 that VS-QZT received its present designation. Eor the next tew years the squadron maintained its readiness in the SQE aircratt. The squad- ron was de-commissioned on ,Tune T, T956 On May 25, T9oO, the squadron was recornmissioned at NAS, Nortolkl ln June ot l9oO, VS-211 embarked aboard USS VALLEY EGRGE. VS-241 operated with Task Group Alta until Eebruary T9oT. During this period the squadron participated in a Mercury Red- stone Capsule recovery ott Cape Canaveral and the dramatic rescue ot the survivors ot SS Rine Ridge. ln Gctober ot T9oT, VS- 211 embarked aboard USS ESSEX tor a tour month NATG cruise. Atter a short period ashore at NAS, Nortolk, VS-Q11 once a- gain went to sea. This cruise to the Caribbean was aboard the newly designated Air Antisubmarine Wartare Carrior USS TNTRE- RTD iCVS-l TT. Upon completion 'ot this ASW cruise, VS-Q4 lse- gan sending tour plane dotachmeiits to Key Worst, Eloriigla tor surveillance ot shipping aroicind Cuba.
