25 YEARS OF SERVICE This cruisebook is dedicated to those who have kept the men of USS JOHN F. KENNEDY going--and coming back--for 25 years. For 25 years an estimated 25,000 ship ' s company sailors and Marines plus another 20,000 sailors and airmen in the air wings have dedicated their service to the mission of Big John. Their collective service has made up  , the ship ' s 25 years of service in the national defense. x M i While this book pre- A serves the memories ' of the crew who |% sailed the ship dur- f j I ing the 1992-93 I Mediterranean! (mostly Adriatic) de- ployment, some memories of other crews, other events, other times will be found. Through it all-the entire 25 years a constant was the support of Big John ' s families. You have helped shape this ship ' s history because of your continued, self-sacrjficing support. This is youj|pok, too. Dedication ?

Through 25 17 fyl y f ' TWENTY-FIVE YEARS OF SERVICE USS JOHN F. KENNEDY (CV 67) was named for the 35th President of the United States. John F. Kennedy. The ship ' s keel was laid October 22, 1964, at the Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company in Virginia. Presidcni Kennedy ' s nine-year-old daughter, Caroline, christened the ship in May 1967 in ceremo- nies at Newport News, and on September 7, 1968, the ship was conmiissioned. KENNEDY was originally designated as CVA-67. attack aircraft carrier. In the early 1970 s. the classifi- cation was changed to CV- l, indicating that the ship was capable of supporting anti-sub, larine warfare air- craft, making it an all-purpose, multi-mission aircraft carrier. The designations are reflected in the ship ' s seal, the original one depicted below and the current one above. The seal is based on the coat of arms of the Kennedy and Fitzgerald families. These ancient symbols represent the stability that stems from tradition. In addition, modern symbols have been incorporated to show the progress that stems from innovation. Both stability and progress were notable characteristics of the policies of President John F. Kennedy, and both are essential to the continued accomplishment of the ship ' s mission. The black shield with three gold helmets is the traditional coats of arms of the O ' Kennedy of the Ormonde. The helmets represent the original Gaelic word for Kennedy. Ceinneide . which means helmc head. The red and white borders are the colci.. Fitzgerald of Desmond. Above the shield is the single helmet, crowned with a wreath of the Kennedy colors, black and gold, and flanked by the red and white mantel in Fitzgerald colors, symbolic of courage. The crest of the coat of arms is a mailed forearm, holding a sheaf of arrows and framed by olive branches, symbolizing power and peace, as do the eagle ' s claws in the presidential seal. The bottlenosed dolphins holding the banner at the bottom are traditional symbols of the sea and seamen. They represent our freedom to roam the seas, freedom essential to progress in the world community. Dolphins are friends of man but deadly enemies of aggressors. Dolphins attack only when provoked. The shamrock-shaped banner symbolizes good luck. President Kennedy ' s Irish ancestry and our ties with Ireland. Written on the banner in Latin is the ship ' s motto. Date Nolite Rogare . which means Give; be unwilling to ask. The phrase represents the spirit of President Kennedy ' s inaugural address and specifically the famous line, Ask not what your country can do for you: ask what you can do for your country. The wings are symbols not only of KENNEDY ' S air power but also of progress and the freedom to roam the skies. Stars, representing the 50 states, surround the shield. A 51st star, the topmost in the seal, represents the high state of readiness sought by KENNEDY. In years that she earns the coveted Navy E for effi- ciency, this top star will be gold. Around the seal is an unbroken rope, symbolic of the unifying force among shipmates in a common mission. The ship ' s seal was designed by Kennedy ' s first Commanding Officer, Captain Earl P. Yates. In the early 1970s. KENNEDY deployed several times to the Mediterranean. The first time was in response to a deteriorating situation in the Middle East. | The ship ' s fourth Mediterranean cruise included her first visit to a North Atlantic port. Edinburgh. Scotland. In 1978, KENNEDY recorded 31.568 flight hours and 1 2.438 arrested landings. KENNEDY then under- went a year-long major overhaul that ended in 1979. The ship ' s ninth deployment, in 1981, was her first to the Indian Ocean. KENNEDY transited the Suez ' Canal, hosted the first visit aboard a United States ship by a Somali head of state, and achieved her 150.000th arrested landing. In 1982 KENNEDY won an eighth E, the battle efficiency award, and a fourth Golden Anchor retention •rd. In 1983. as a result of growing crisis in Beirut, _ janon, KENNEDY was called upon to support ef- forts there that defined ship ' s operations into the next year. Awards received by the ship during that period included a ninth Battle E, the Silver Anchor award for retention, the RADM Flatley award for safety, and the Battenburg Cup for being the overall best ship in the Atlantic Fleet. KENNEDY spent the winter of 1984 in drydock at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard for a minor overhaul. In 1 985, the ship received a fifth Golden Anchor retention award and several departmental efficiency awards. While in the shipyard, the ship was also awarded the inaugural Department of Defense Phoenix Award, sig- nifying a level of maintenance excellence above all other Department of Defense components world-wide. In July 1986, KENNEDY served as the centerpiece for a vast international naval armada during the Interna- tional Naval Review in honor of the 1 00th Anniversary and Rededication of the Statue of Liberty. KENNEDY then departed for the Mediterranean in August 1986 and returned in March 1987. After a brief shipyard period. Kennedy visited Bos- ton, Massachusetts, and then Portland, Maine, marking the first visit of an aircraft carrier to that city. In November 1 987, KENNEDY ' S flight deck crew trapped their 200,000th aircraft. KENNEDY departed Norfolk, Virginia, for her 1 2th major deployment to the Mediterranean in August [1988. On January 4, 1989, while conducting routine operations in international waters, F-14s from the em- j barked air wing shot down two Libyan MIG-23s that were approaching the battle group in a hostile manner. In the spring of 1 989, the ship entered Norfolk Naval Shipyard for a short industrial period, and KENNEDY spent the remainder of 1989 honing battle readiness in preparation for deployment. KENNEDY also visited Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and paid a second visit to Portland, Maine. After spending the first half of 1 990 participating in a variety of exercises, KENNEDY paid visits to New York for Fleet Week ' 90 and Boston for the Fourth of luly. In August, with just four days ' notice. Big John deployed in support of Operation Desert Shield. KENNEDY entered the Red Sea in September 1990 and became the flagship of the Commander, Red Sea Battle Force. On January 16. 1991. aircraft from the ship ' s CanierAir Wing THREE began Operation Desert Storm with attacks on Iraqi forces. The ship launched 114 strikes and 2,895 sorties, with the aircrews of Carrier Air Wing THREE flying 1 1 ,263 combat hours and delivering more than 3.5 million pounds of ord- nance in the conflict. After the cease-flre. KENNEDY transited the Suez Canal for the fourth time in seven months and began her journey home. Big John arrived in homeport Norfolk on March 28. 1991, to the greatest homecoming cel- ebration and outpouring of public support since World War II. KENNEDY then entered a four-month shipyard re- stricted availability at Norfolk Naval Shipyard. The ship departed the shipyard at the end of September 1 99 1 with extensive repairs and maintenance accomplished on engineering systems, flight deck systems and equip- ment. Additionally the ship was ready to handle the F A- 18 Hornet aircraft to replace the A-7E Corsair ll ' s that had flown on their last deployment from the deck of Kennedy. The 1992-93 deployment nu,. ' Kennedy ' s 14th to the Mediterranean area. The deployment was driven principally by turmoil in former Yugoslavia and surges of continuing conflict with Iraq. The ship conducted multiple exercises with the armed forces of Mediterra- nean littoral nations, hosted large numbers of visitors in port and at sea, and spent substantial operating time in the Adriatic Sea. USS JOHN F KENNEDY expects to undergo a two- year-long comprehensive overhaul in Philadelphia Naval Shipyard after return from deployment. Following the overhaul.

With refresher training successfully completeil. ii was time to get ready for the real thing. To ensure the Kennedy and her battle group were ready for the October Mediterranean cruise, a comprehensive training exercise was planned for August, followed in .September by a lleet exercise. During the August training exercise, Kennedy hosted the Presidential Commission on Women in the Military, giving honest answers to the commission members on women ' s role in combat. The interview sessions covered all levels of command, from squadron conunanding officers to the seam en, airmen and firemen of Kennedy. In the middle of the August training exercise, a port visit to St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands was planned. After one day of a planned five- day port visit, Kennedy got underway and headed for the Mediterranean. Forty-eight hours into this exercise, Kennedy was ordered back to the Caribbean to continue the training exercise. After the COMPTUEX and the FLEETEX, the Kennedy Battle Group was ready. The crew had performed admirably on both exercises, and the six-month deployment loomed in the immediate future of the ship and her crew. r Cf - ■■jJ ' ' l ' IM tJ Ml K j ' R.

The dynamic nature of independent and battle group operations demands careful apportioning and application of material and fiscal, personnel and logistical resources. Managing resources, along with continuous process-improvement, is by far the primary challenge for Supply Department.

From arri al to departure Admin has a different meaning to each member of the crew. Supporting a population larger than many small towns, the men of Admin Department provide services such as personnel management, counselling, guidance, special incentive programs, prepare yearly evaluations, reports control and official correspondence. Also, along the same lines, postal affairs, printing and engraving, and radio television networks are in operation for service to the fleet. Admin is comprised of seven distinct work centers in three di isions. Headed by the Admin Officer, LT Pat Hunter, and Leading Chief, YNCS(SW) Diaz, the pace begins in XO Admin. X- 1 Division, under the tutelage of LT Terry Evans, ensures the crew is kept apprised of ongoing world events through newspapers and nightly newscasts. Informing the outside world of John F. Kennedy ' s perfor- mance and contribution as a national asset also is the responsibility of the journalists from X-1 through Hometown News Releases and hosting of numerous distinguished visitors. The Personnel Office and Career Information Program Office are the charge of ENS Howard Denson in X-2 Divisidn. Maintenance of service records, benefits counselling, negotiating with detailers, and departure from the Command are just a few of the many functions provided by the division. CW02 John Bradley leads the X-3 Di ision. His staff in the Captain ' s Office provide officer personnel services and Command administrative support. The Post Office, naturally, provides all the services that can be found in a post office ashore - only better. Incoming and outgoing mail procedures change every single day, but nothing can stop the delivery. The Print Shop staff professionally supports the ship for printing services. Layout, printing, and bindery are merely some of the daily activities of the Print Shop. Administrative Officer LT Pat Hunter Leading CPO YNCS(SW) Dave Diaz 65 1 Division LT Lawrence T.

Teamwork was essential to get the job done and the Legal Department provied it can be done. Aside from providing legal advice to the crew, the department also worked long, hard hours in preparation for court- martials, administrative boards, foreign claims, captain ' s mast and a myriad of other legal necessities.

At sea the outstanding boatswain ' s mates and deck seaman of the Kennedy continue to keep the ship operating. During the cruise the department conducted over 70 undenvay replenishments and numerous destroyer refueling. In port, the department continued to work hard to ensure that all the ship ' s liberty parties hit the beach. We run the ship ' s boats around the clock in heavy seas and high winds. That ' s not to say that the department is all work and no play. We have seen and been to great liberty ports such Marseille. France, and Trieste. Italy. We ' ve enjoyed good liberty in Naples. Italy, with tours to Rome and Mt. Vesuvius. The department has seen various changes in personnel. We have seen Airmen join the ranks of deck Seamen. They ha e fit in nicely and are very professional in their work. All of the men of the Deck Department are true profession- als who have enjoyed great success on this successful deploy- ment.

MMD, P- 1 Division, P-2 Division and R Division. All of these divisions worlc to provide Kennedy with the means to propel herself through the waters, to keep the ship ' hot and cold. ' to keep the electricity on, to keep the ship safe from fires, to keep all maintenance paperwork in order, and if the need be, to repair almost anything that needs repair. This diverse group of individuals are what makes Kennedy go, and what gives Kennedy most of the ' creature comforts ' such as air conditioning and heat. They work long hours, whether at sea or in port, to ensure that Kennedy is always ready to go wherever and whenever she is needed. On this cruise, the Engineering Department was called on time and again to provide extra speed, more heat, or emergency repairs, and the division or divisions called on never failed. , ChiefEngineer CDR Doyle R.

Urick Marine Detachment Sea duty is the oldest and most original duty of Marines. John F. Kennedy Marines continue to cany on this proud tradition. These handpicked. chosen few have stood ready to meet any challenge. In addition to their demanding security and ceremonial duties on the ship, they train hard and are ready at all times for potential contingency taskings in troubled areas of the world. JFK Marines pave the way and set the standard for deployed MARDETs to serve as versatile and capable Carrier Battle Group assets. From Non-Combatant Evacuations and conventional Marine infantry opera- tions to Sunset Parades JFK Marines continually dem- onstrated their unique capabilities. These warriors have proven themselves to be a valuable part of the John F. Kennedy and Carrier Battle Group team and have added new standards to the long history of MARDETs. Commanding Officer Capt.

' i9, when the squadron tlew the Douglas A-3 Skywarrior out of NAS Alameda. California. In March 915. VAQ-I.3() was reassigned to NA.S Whidbey Island. Washington, and Iransilioned to the niight (inniinian EA-6B Prowler lircraft. The Prowler has a myriad of missions within the airwing. Perhaps the nost important of them is Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses (.SEAD). This consists of effectively knocking out the enemy ' s eyes and ears ( radars ind communications) so that the airwing ' s bombers can put ordnance on arget unscathed by guided surface-to-air missiles (SAMs), or iiilerccpled )y enemy fighters. This can be accomplished by two means— the soft-kill and the hard-ki 11. The soft-kill concept consists of putting Irons on target --aka. Jamming. The hard-kill option is the utilization of HARM missiles (high speetl anti- adiation missile) to physically destroy the enemy ' s radars. The Zappers have again demonstrated, on their third crui.se aboard Big John, that hard work and dedication pays off. Whether it was the ilectronic Warfare Department preparing for numerous exercises and eal world contingencies with Iraq and the former Yugoslavia, the Maintenance Department maintaining the squadron ' s five EA-6Bs with 98 percent sortie completion rate, or any of the other fine departments vithin the squadron, all these personnel working hard together were able o keep the Zappers up and ready and make Med 1 -93 a successful cruise Command Master Chid ASCM( AW) Robert L.

Flying the distinctive E-2C Hawkeye, VAVV-126 maintained a protective radar umbrella over the Mediterranean Battle Group throughout the deployment. Once the USS John F. Kennedy and a part of her battle group reached the Adriatic Sea, and when Operation Provide Comfort started, VA V-126 ' s Havvkeyes flew numerous surveillance missions in support of the air drop of food and medical supplies to the peoples of the former republic of Yugoslavia. The Seahawks played a vital role in protecting the Battle Group and the aircraft of the U.S. Air Force who made the air drops over Bosnia.

The Commanding Officer, CDR Russ Camot. Executive Officer. CDR Bob Snyder, and Command Master Chief, AVCM Charlie Rogers, had the privilege of leading the superb team of officers and men pictured here who comprise the Checkmates. The S-3B aircraft filled a variety of key roles during this extended deployment. Equipped with the latest in radar technology, the APS 137 ISAR, and with an impressive array of sensors, the Checkmates were often the eyes and ears of the Battle Group. Whether operating as an Electronic Support Mission platform for Operation Provide Promise, as a HARPOON missile equipped long range Anti-Surface Unit Warfare aircraft capable of ranging the Mediterranean, practicing Anti-Submarine Warfare with NATO allies, and hawking as the recovery tanker, VS-22 Viking jets were crucial to the CVW-3 JFK team ' s success. Every Checkmate played an important part in ensuring VS-22 s outstanding mission success. Working around the clock, often in inclement weather, this magnificient team of dedicated professionals operated at the highest operational tempo of any fixed wing aircraft aboard Big John.

Mauer Jr. HS-7 Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron SEVEN was originally established in April 1956 at Naval Air Station Norfolk, Virginia, with the primary mission of harbor defense. As the role of Antisubmarine Warfare (ASVV) became more prominent, the mission of the Shamrocks was changed to provide ASW support for the fleet. HS-7 was then disestablished in May 1966, for a three-year period. In December 1969, HS-7 was officially reestablished as an integral part of Carrier Antisubmarine Air Group FIF TY FOUR at NAS Quonset Point, Rhode Island, flying the Sikorsky SH-3D Sea King. During the 1970s, the Shamrocks deployed with Carrier Air Wing THREE, which integrated the afloat attack ASW concept known as the CV concept. HS-7 deployed to a variety of locations, including Vietnam and the Mediterranean Sea. In 1973, the Shamrocks received the first of eight new SH-3H aircraft, which were kept in their new homeport of NAS Jacksonville, Florida. It wasn ' t until 1981 that HS-7 deployed on USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67). .They answer proudly to the tactical call si n, Dusty Dogs, and provide Big John with the Fleet ' s finest carrier inner zone ASW defense and combat search and rescue services. The Dustys of HS-7 are proud members of the Commander, Carrier Group TWO, L ' SS John F. Kennedy and. Carrier Air Wing THREE team. i J HS-7 LCDR Mark D.

Pellegrin V FA- 105 Gunslingers Executive Officer CDR David B.Martin The Gunslingers of VFA-103 have proven themselves leaders and profession- als on this, their 10th deployment to the Mediterranean Sea. All personnel contributed in t pical Gunslinger fashion to make their first overseas deploy- ment with the Hornet a success. Flying nearly 1500 sorties and over 2. 00 hours while embarked aboard Big John, the squadron maintenance department led the way with a 99 percent sortie completion rate. The Slinger maintainers took top I honors as the best maintenance department in the airwing. winning the CVW-. Gold Wrench Award. The squadron pilots won the airwing landing coinpetition every line period, and were overall winners of the coveted Top Hook award for the entire cruise. Hard work and long hours fmally paidoff when the Gunslingers were honored as recipients of the 1992 COMNAVAIRLANT Battle E Award. making them the best Strike Fighter Squadron in the Atlantic Fleet. The Gunslingers were originally commissioned as VA-105 on 1 May 1952 as the Mad Dogs flying the AD-1 Skyraider. The squadron transitioned to the new A-7A Corsair 11 light attack jet on I November 1967. Flying the Corsair, the squadron made two deployments to Southea.st Asia participating in combat operations in the Gulf of Tonkin. The squadron also made two Indian Ocean deployments and a 1983 around-the-world cruise. In 1985. the Gunslingers became the first Navy squadron to participate in the Marine Corps Unit Deploy- ment Program, forward deploying to MCAS Iwakuni. Japan. The squadron was redesignated a strike fighter squadron on 10 January 1991 as they began transitioning from the A-7E Corsair to brand new FA- 1 8C Night- Attack Hornets. They then reported to CVW-3 aboard USS John F. Kennedy (CV 67) on 1 September 1991. Throughout their history, the Gunslingers have continually strived for excel- lence in all areas of carrier aviation. Their list of achievements include five previous Battle E awards. The squadron has won three CNO safety S awards, two Navy Unit Commendations, four Meritorious Unit commendations and a Secretary of the Navy Letter of Commendation. In 1977. the squadron was presented with the prestigious McCluskey Award as the number one attack squadron in the U.S. Navy. Their outstanding operational record clearly demonstrates that VFA- 105 is the finest example of a fully capable, combat ready squadron able to project power and American resolve anywhere in the world. ?

Virginia, with visions of far-off lands such as Israel, Turkey. Greece, France, and Italy. Port visits were planned for these countries, and with hopes of even more exotic ports on the horizon. Not unlike a lot of cruises oldtimers have been on, this cruise did not go according to plan. World conditions, tirst off the coast of Turkey in possible support of conditions in Iraq, and then to the Adriatic .Sea off the coast of the lormer Yugoslavia in support of na- tional policy in that region. With commitments being what they were, time was found for JFK to pull into Naples, Italy, twice, Marseille. France, for a two-week Christmas holiday, and what seemed after the third visit as our homeport away from home, Trieste, Italy. These pages reflect some of the sights the crew enjoyed during these port visits. l-V- ML Liberty call Liberty call... First stop- Naples, Italy 340 . Naples, Italy Naples, Italy JFK celebrates Christmas in Marseille, France For sonic of the crew, Marseille. France, offered thcin the opportunity to jump on an airplane and go home to spend Christmas with their loved ones. For others, being dockside in Marseille offered easy access to telephones, both on the pier and in the quaint waterside village. And still for others, it meant touring other countries and cities of Europe, a ski tour or a visit to the city of lights-Paris. There was a lot to do, along with shipboard activities to keep the crew occupied. Of course, work came first, hut there was still plenty of time for liberty, rest and relaxation. Consensus of the crew was that if they couldn ' t be home for Christmas. Marseille, France, was a good substitute. a Marseille, France Marseille - aBT 1 MM T ' 1 it ' awsj| jl ' ffliffi l W- ' ' Jf ' --- { |y ■• ■ - s - ♦ - ■ I iiiiiiiiiiiMiliiiii ' rtR Marseille, France . p m ■ L ' m . — - m k ' C R £ M n rh 9ffi iws MM aA iw f I ' d JO nf Service Marseille, France Trieste, Italy For most sailors who have made a Mediterranean cruise, Naples was always a port you visited. JFK sailors got the opportunity to go into Trieste. Italy, a port very few sailors have been to. Trieste, on the northern end of the former Yugo- slavia border, and at the tip of the Adriatic Sea. is a bustling town unlike most southern Italian ports. For this reason, along with the close pro.ximity to the Alps and Venice, Italy, Trieste was instantly a success as a port of call. Little did JFK sailors realize on that finst visit in November, 1 992, that Trieste would become almost a homeport away from home. r 11 fr 1 | ' - ' ..
