After a brief stop at Pearl Harbor, MIDWAY entered Tokyo Bay October 5 to begin her for- ward deployment from the Naval base at Yokosuka . ' On this extended deployment the married man had more time to spend with his family be- tween MIDWAY ' S at-sea periods, and the single man had an unequalled opportunity to ex- perience Japan and her people on an extended, resident-type basis. MIDWAY ' S first days in Japan were thrilling for her crew, most of whom were new to the ship and were overseas for the first time in their lives. They soon discovered, once venturing beyond the gate, that this strange land held the promise of adventure and that the Japanese people were friendly and very interested in the new resident in Yokosuka Harbor. The carrier MIDWAY became familiar to the Japanese citizen through various radio, tele- vision and newspaper accounts. The ship hosted thousands of curious visitors from Yoko- suka, Yokohama, Tokyo and the surrounding areas during her first year; and the crew en- deavored to become just as familiar with their new environment. Japan ' s extensive railway system was soon wisking them to points far and wide. MIDWAY sailors explored the centers of business and culture in downtown Tokyo and climbed in pre- dawn darkness to witness the dramatic sunrise from atop Japan ' s sacred summit, Mt. Fuji. From Sapporo to Sasebo, sailors were out to see the sights and have new experiences. With Yokosuka as their home-away-from-home. these Seventh Fleet men, acting as roving ambassadors, acquired an international sophistication not known to crews of transient ves- sels. Bom of this sophistication was an understanding and appreciation of foreign peoples, their cultures and ways of thinking. Consequently, Hong Kong, Subic Bay in the Philippines, and South Korea ' s main port, Pusan, were scenes of memorable times for MIDWAY crew- men. - : MOVIN ' WEST puts all these times together as a memory key for the present and for years to come. This was MIDWAY— MOVIN ' WEST. .

During this crucial period of the Vietnam conflict, L ' SS MIDWAY and embarked Attack Carrier Air Wing FIVI- carried out dev- astating aerial attacks against enemy installations, transportation, and lines of communications in the face of extremely heavy opposition includ- ing nnilti -calibre antiaircraft artillery fire and surface-to-air missiles. Displaying superb airmanship and unwavering courage, MIDWAY C ' W-5 pilots played a significant role in lifting the prolonged sieges at An Loc. k ' ontum, and Quang Tri and in carrying out the concentrated aerial strikes against the enemy ' s industrial heartland which eventually resulted in a cease-fire. By their excellent teamwork, dedication, and sustained supe- y nr performance, the officers and men of MIDWAY and Attack Carrier Air Wing FI ' i: reflected great credit upon themselves and upheld the highest traditions of the United States Naval Service.

Bottenberg Departing LAG VIPS Many distinguished visitors, in- cluding ambassadors, generals, Japanese and American commer- cial, military, and governmental organizations have been welcomed by MIDWAY crewmen during the carrier ' s first year in Japan. In ad- dition to being a major attraction to dignitaries, MIDWAY was flag- ship to several admirals and their staffs. While embarked in the car- rier, the admirals, with their sup- port personnel, were able to observe the Overseas Family Residency Program close up and report on its successes. All who came aboard were impressed by the alertness, appearance, and hospitality of MIDWAY ' S crew. 32 Rear Admiral Weslev L. McDonald, COMNAVAIRPAC REP embarked MIDWAY Left and Above RADM R.P.

V.v v The A-6A Intruders of Air Wing FIVE belong to the Attack Squadron ONE FIFTEEN (VA-115) Arabs. These aircraft, capable of accurately delivering up to 14,000 pounds of bombs in all types of weather, are a far cry from the smaller, propeller- driven A-1 Skyraiders, flown earlier by VA-115. Attack Squadron ONE FIFTEEN also operates Air Wing FIVE ' S airborne gas stations, the KA-6D version of the Intruder. The Arabs ' tankers are cap- able of carrying 10,000 pounds of jet fuel. One of these aircraft, through inflight refueling, can enable four Phantom jet fighters to fly for extended periods of time. it 1 J! 1 CDR J.J. Hower, Commanding Officer, VA-115. From Left LCDR H.

Fighter Sq One Sixty One The mission of Fighter Squadron ONE-SIXTY- ONE (VF-161) is to provide fleet air defense, giving the carrier task force protection from hostile air- craft. Providing air cover in the versatile F-4N Phantom II, the squadron is also tasked with strike missions against enemy surface and ground tar- gets. The Chargers have a history dating back to World War II and have operated from the decks of USS LEXINGTON and USS RANDOLPH. The squadron was decommissioned in 1945, then re- commissioned in 1960. Before joining Air Wing FIVE and the MIDWAY team in February 1971, VF-161 flew with Air Wing SIXTEEN aboard USS ORISKANY, with Air Wing FIFTEEN aboard USS CONSTELLATION and USS CORAL SEA. « '  iiilli Pacific Stars Stripes Photo by SSGT Bob Wickley Standing (1. to r.)
