'UI-.. af' TTT re A if 'ii ic.-A My high power radar equipment enables me to see aircraft as far as one hundred miles. But with the help of the AD-5W's of VAW-ll, Detachment .luliett, the range of my vision is extended far beyond that. Packed with radar gear and able to tiy at night and in all kinds of weather, they perform a variety of support functions. The men of VAW-ll are a flying link between my strike and fighter aircraft and Combat Information Center. Acting as airborne early warning planes, they search out the enemy with their radar and vector my fighters to the targets. Versatility is the word for my Guppies, for they assist in search and rescue operations and are adapted for carrier on board delivery functions. row ll it to rightl n erson R A R y rarner ar man :ver Hedgcoth, LC., Volght, D.J., Kennedy, R.E., right R L mson a on in 1 son Mi e row e o ri wtj: Meisner, S.J., Turner, C.L., Wilson, R.G., Lt,gF D Fontanesu RE osley g ri o ormiclc Ltgg J.

I, Xia C llx t 2 H I was ordered to depart San Diego on 6 August for my tour of duty in WesPac. But before I could leave, my men had a great deal of work to do. Part of the reason why an aircraft carrier is so potent is that she can operate for months at a time without depending upon shore based support. To be self-sufficient, it is necessary for me to carry all the equipment, stores, and food required for extended periods at sea. Q, .-
