USS KEARSARGE (CVS-33) 1966 WESTERN PACIFIC CRUISE KEARSARGE HISTORY On November 5, 1861, Ellen Stanton, daughter of a U. S. Congressman, christened a 1031- ton sloop of war, the USS KEARSARGE, after the name of a beautiful mountain in New Hamp- shire. In the ensuing century, three ships have borne the illustrious name, each in its own time adding to the Navy ' s proud tradition. KEARSARGE first saw action during the latter stages of the Civil War outside the harbor at Cherbourg, France, after having successfully lured the notorious blockage-running Confed- erate Ship ALABAMA out to sea. In a bitterly contested battle lasting 65 minutes, the ALA- BAMA expended 370 rounds of ammunition while the KEARSARGE fired only 173 rounds. KEARSARGE ' S first shot proved most accurate ol all. however, arid the ALABAMA was sunk. More than 17 years after the first KEARSARGE was lost in heavy seas in the Caribbean, a battleship was designated by Act of Congress to carry on the name. Commissioned in 1898. she weighed 11525 tons and had a compliment of 39 officers and 618 enlisted men. Her arma- ment included four 3-inch guns, four 8-inch breechloading rifles, twenty 6-pounders, one Gat- ling gun, and one field piece. In combination with a top speed of 16 knots, her firepower made the second KEARSARGE the pride of the Navy. KEARSARGE was part of the Great White Fleet which sailed around the world in 1908. The battleship saw duty in the First World War, when she auriously anticipated the third KEAR- SARGE by spending most of her time searching for submarines. After the war, she became a The fi i ( SS KEARSARGE; the hymning of a pr,md iradilit I SSKE IRS tRGE II Twenty-six knots and the pride oj the Fleet training ship, and then was converted to the Navy ' s Craneship No. 1, performing salvage work at Pearl Harbor during World War II. In 1946 the third KEARSARGE was commissioned. On August 29. 1947, lor the first time for a carrier at sea, the KEARSARGE catapult launched a jet-propelled aircraft, ushering in an entire new era of carrier operations. In June of 1950 she began conversion from the ESSEX class to the ORISKANY class carrier, and was recommissioned in 1952 in time to be combat tested off the coast of Korea in early 1953. KEARSARGE toured Oriental waters in 1954 and 1955. and aided in the evacuation of the Nationalist Chinese who were fleeing the Communist threatened Tachen Islands. In 1956 the MIGHTY KAY, as she had become known acquired her hurricane bow and an- gled flight deck, and on October 1. 1958, she was redesignated C S an antisubmarine air- traft carrier, her new mission being to hunt, discover, and kill enemy submarines. In 1959 KEARSARGE deployed on her sixth Far-East cruise, and on her seventh in 1961. This was followed by an overhaul, from which she emerged the most modern anti- submarine carrier in the fleet. Her new capabilities were brought into play in Oc- tober of 1962 in her recovery of Navy Cdr. Waiter M. Shirra Jr. and his spacecraft, SIGMA SEVEN near Midway Island. Several months later she recovered Air Force Major Cordon L. Cooper and the FAITH SE F-.N capsule. One hundred years to the day after the original KEARSARGE sunk the ALABAMA, she be- gan her ninth Far-East cruise. Between August and November 1964, for her service as anti- surface and antisubmarine protection to the U. S. Seventh Fleet ships which had been attacked by North Vietnamese PT boats, the KEARSARGE crew was awarded the U. S. Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal. Testimony to the competence of the KF3ARSARGE crew was given in October of 1965 when the ship received the Vice Admiral James M. Flatley Memorial Award for Naval Aviation Safety in antisubmarine aircraft carrier operations. 1965 also saw the 100,000th arrested landing of the carrier. The twentieth anniversary of her commissioning was marked by KEARSARGE on March 2, 1966. Had she been a sailor, she might have retired with honors and a pension on that date. But as a ship of the United States Navy, she spent the spring in the training operations, and in June deployed to Yankee Station, South China Sea, on her tenth cruise of the Western Pacific.

KEARSARGE has just completed her second cruise to the Western Pacif- ic in support of the combat operations in the waters off Viet Nam. The per- formance of all hands is indicative of a high degree of professionalism and devotion to duty.

These teams give the attack and recon pilots a confi- dence in rescue that has never been greater. With the chance of rescue at sea 99 ' r and land rescue almost as good, the morale of the pilots has been tre- mendously high.

The pilots choose their path carefully to avoid the heavy flak concentrations. Avoiding small arms fire and SAM sites, they are mindful that a moment ' s hesitation may cost the life of a downed pilot or perhaps their own crew. THE LIFTOFF... • i AND THE PICK IP.

Besides the normal requirements of working hours and watchstand- ing, almost daily the ship undertakes evolutions requiring direct par- ticipation of all or nearlv all hands; such as General Quarters drills, under way replenishments. gun shoots. and torpedo and personnel transfers. But there are hours of rest and recreation also. This section pro- ides a brief look at hoth the work and the plav of KEARSARGE men. UNDERWAY REPLENISHMENTS A thirst} destroyer makes iis approach.

After anchoring, Captain Nyburg proclaimed a day of rest and relaxation for all hands: charcoaled steaks on the flight deck, the music of KEARSARGE ' S own TRAMPS , volleyball on the hangar deck, touch football, and a swim call were enjoyed l all. The TRAMPS belt one out. Offsides, but pretty good form. Getting in shape for the tournament. SHARKS!? CROSSING THE LINE: Returning from anchorage off the eastern coast of Vlalasia, KEARSARGE made a slight detour to cross the Equator, the results of which follow in these next pages: Pollywogs have their day also, and the grossly outnumbered Shellbacks had to pay dea ly on the day before crossing the Equator. The few Shellbacks who could be found or ured out of Officers ' Country and Chiefs ' Quarters were promptly treated as befitting the ape-old tradition. But it seemed like there were a lot more Shellbacks than anyone thought when it was time to face the music. . . The afternoon of the day before crossing the Equator brought the Shellbacks out in all their glory; all Pollywogs massed on the flight deck to receive their Summons, and the charges were listed by Davy Jones.

While deployed, some KEARSARCE sailors took advantage of an educational program which, if the student met certain requirements, led to a high school diploma awarded bv Long Beach Evening High School. A course combining study in American Government, American History and Modern American Problems was taught by LTJG John Hearne, and classes met six times weekly, three hours per class for eleven weeks. The men used spare time from their regular duties to attend classes and to study, and the result is a hard earned diploma for eighteen justifiably proud men. Captain Nyburg spoke at the graduation exer- cises and afterward presided at an informal gathering of the students to cut a commemo- rative cake.

He remained in Pensacola as a flight instructor until November 1942, when he became Commanding Officer of Scouting Squadron FIFTY-EIGHT. As a wartime Aviator in the South Pacific area, Captain Sessums earned the Navy Commendation Medal and received the Purple Heart for injuries in battle. Following World War II, he served with various squadrons, was Command- ing Officer of FASRON-201, Commanding Officer of Helicopter Antisubmarine Squadron II.

He also served on the staff of Task Group Alpha and in the Office of Deputy Chief of Naval Operations for Air in the Pentagon.
