Fol- lowing arrival briefs at a fleet anchorage in Cape de Orlando Bay, Sicily, the forty- four ships from eight nations passed through the Straits of Messina and into the basic phase of training east ofSicily. In the second of three phases of Dragon Hammer, LEYTE GULF served as Anti-Air Warfare Commander for the 'Green' forces, coordinating air defense for a sim- ulated amphibious landing on southern Sardinia. Additionally, LEYTE GULF and her two Proud Warrior SH-60's conduct- ed extensive ASW operations including over forty hours of contact and fourteen simulated submarine kills.
