NIMITZ Chester W. Nimitz was born in Fredericksburg, Texas on February 24, 1885. He was appointed to the U.S. Naval Academy in 1901. His graduation with distinction from that institution in 1905 began a career unparalleled in the annals of naval history. Just after Pearl Harbor, on December 31, 1941, Admiral Nimitz was named Commander-in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet. For his service he was presented the Distinguished Service Medal, awarded in the Name of Congress, by the President of the United States. The citation accompanying this award best describes his contribution to important Pacific naval actions during World War ll. For exceptionally meritorious service to the government of the United States in a duty of great responsibility as Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Fleet since December 1941. At the most crucial period of the present war in the Pacific, Admiral Nimitz assumed command of that area and, despite the losses at Pearl Harbor and the tragic shortage of vessels, planes and supplies, organized his forces and carried on a defensive attack which halted the Japanese advance. As rapidly as personnel, ships and material became available, he shifted from defensive to offensive warfare and, by his brilliant leadership and outstanding skill as a strategist, enabled the units under his command to defeat the enemy in the Pacific. On December 15, 1945, Admiral Nimitz relieved Fleet Admiral Ernest J. King as Chief of Naval Operations. The brilliant career of the famous Fleet Admiral ended with his death in San Francisco on February 20, 1966. Adm.

Nimitz, the Navy's last five star Admiral. Funds for the construction of the ship were appropriated by Congress in fiscal year 1967, with the keel being laid on June 22, 1968 at Newport News, Virginia. Catherine Nimitz Lay, daughter of the late Admiral Nimitz, christened the U.S. Navy's largest warship on May 3, 1975. President Gerald Ft. Ford was the principal speaker at the commissioning ceremony. During the first year of commissioned service, the Nimitz crew began the arduous task of building the ship's readiness for duty with the United States Navy. The highlights of the ship's first year were the completion of two intense training periods in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and a month-long cruise to Northern Europe as the lead ship of Nuclear Task Force '75. As the most capable unit of the United States forward deployable forces, Nimitz has played major roles in a wide variety of NATO, Sixth and Seventh Fleet exercises in the Mediterranean, Atlantic, Caribbean, Northern European and Indian Ocean areas. Nimitz has demonstrated the highest standards of combat V readiness, endurance and the ability to rapidly deploy to troubled areas of the globe. These standards of excellence characterize the Nimitz motto Teamwork, A Tradition. SHIPS STATISTICS Type Vessel Nuclear Powered Aircraft Carrier Keel Laying ...... Iune 22, 1968 Launching ......

Ships from several NATO countries rendezvoused with those of Nimitz and the Nuclear Powered Task Group in the North Atlantic. During the tactical maneuvers that followed, the men of USS Nimitz, the nuclear cruisers USS California and USS South Carolina and the nuclear attack submarine Sea Horse proved to the world that the United States Navy could be a powerful, credible and reliable ally. While in port, in Germany, Scotland and England, Nimitz hosted general visiting. High ranking European leaders and thousands of people traveled many miles to see the largest and most capable aircraft carrier in the world. During the underway periods Nimitz proved to be a major contributor to the NATO maritime forces. Nuclear Task Force '75 returned to Norfolk on September 15th, 1975 after a highly successful training period and many European port visits. The Nimitz team had fine-tuned their capabilities and was an active and contributing member of the United State Navy. 8 4111 315.15 -.. 24791.--.-z., .ng V 1 .-,,,,-. , V . -, A , ,,, , Y V . - - - . :wx fr A dal.- . -,+-...-..1uf..-.,.r,-..::...f.:x-,.-f.1.f-.a.,::.:: -'- -vsumeebaazaa.

Batzler relieved Captain Gaskill to become the ship's third Commanding Officer. The following day Nimitz departed Norfolk for Refresher Training and returned to Norfolk on March 10. During periods of carrier qualification and while in port, Nimitz served as the setting for a motion picture, The Final Countdown starring Kirk Douglas, Martin Sheen and Katherine Ross. Nimitz' third Mediterranean Cruise began on September 10, 1979. The first three months passed uneventfully and the crew enjoyed liberty in Rota, Spain, Naples, ltalyg Athens, Greece, and Tunis, Tunisia. Events in Iran and Afghanistan dramatically changed the deployment schedule. Following Christmas liberty in Naples, Italy, Nimitz got underway very early on January 4, 1980 for the indian Ocean. Steaming continuously for 19 days with the nuclear powered cruisers California and Texas, Nimitz arrived on station in the Arabian Sea on January 23, relieved USS Kitty Hawk and became flagship for Commander Task Group SEVENTY. On her 125th day at sea, May 7, 1980, Nimitz was relieved by the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower QCVN-693 at what had come to be known as Gonzo Station. Nimitz' homecoming on May 26 was the largest given to any carrier battle group returning to the United States since the end of World War ll. They were greeted by President and Mrs. Carter, members of Congress, military leaders and thousands of families and friends. . ii' if T. if A-if , QQ.: ,Rx 1' -il' -A W' U73 ' X.

The process of training and improvement is a never ending evolution aboard Nimitz. The months spent in the Norfolk Naval Shipyard were busy ones. The modifications and improvements aided in making the long days at sea more comfortable and enjoyable for all Nimitz crewmen. Among the many refurbishings Nimitz' forward galley became the newer and more efficient 'McNimitz, a restaurant that would travel the world and provide the luxuries of fast food to the tune of 3,600 hamburgers, 2,000 milkshakes, 3,000 orders of fries and some 1,500 submarine sandwiches a day. During the shipyard period, each of Nimitz' 30 ton anchors were sandblasted, primed and painted gold to reflect that Nimitz had earned the Atlantic Fleet Golden Anchor Award for retention excellence in fiscal year 1981. Nimitz hosted more than half of the 9,498 visitors who visited the Naval Shipyard during Armed Forces Day, May 15, 1982. The theme of the shipyard's fourth annual Family Day was Peace Through Strength. Nimitz was asked to participate and readily shouldered the responsibilty. Within a few short weeks after pulling out of Norfolk Naval Shipyard Nimitz returned to sea. SRA '82 had prepared Nimitz materially for the training periods and deployments that soon followed. 23 4 Y 5 f R-we-v.-.....,..5..,-..,-.:q,.--q-gf. , - pomsqn-as ,Y is wwe ,Y L L .-,, as 1 1- I w A s ff 4- 1. f ff 6 V 'W 1 if fa ,7 4 4 , , 5 f . 1 7 f ,,,,.4-f, ff no 1 vu f , gfgw , ' Qfrrv f ' fff Q wma ay. , , Af., XV-2, , f ,Mai .

C-.1?,1r.1ff -ti-j':E1I-3-F?1,' Y- :fn-23, X FLAG STAFF Battle Force Sixth Fleet is the permanently deployed battle staff assigned to the Mediterranean area under the operational control of Commander Sixth Fleet. Its area of responsibility is wide and the missions assigned are di- verse. Under the U.S. Navy titles of Battle Force Sixth Fleet and Task Force SIXTY, the Commander and staff direct oper- ations of U.S. carrier battle groups in the Mediterranean. Another title, Commander Carrier Group TWO, is as- signed tothe Commander within the administrative organi- zation of the Commander Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet fCOMNAVAIFtLANTJ, located in Norfolk, Virginia. Three other carrier groups numbered FOUR, SIX and EIGHT are also assigned to COMNAVAIRLANT. However, unlike COMCAFIGFIU TWO which is home- ported and permanently deployed in the Mediterranean, they are homeported in the U.S. and deploy periodically in carriers of the Second, Sixth or Seventh Fleets. The Battle Force protects the sea lines of communica- tions. The welfare of the United States and that of our allies depends upon the unimpeded movement of trade on the high seas. Through the years, the mission changed only in that the carrier is no longer the supporting element of the battle force, but instead, the major unit in the striking power of U.S. fleets. With this change in mission, the responsibilities of the carrier division commander shifted from command of a supporting element to command of the force itself. In 1981, during a missile exercise held in international waters, two Libyan jets attacked Navy aircraft of the Battle Force and they were shot down over the Gulf of Sidra. The spring of 1982 saw the Battle Force at its strongest since the early sixties,with four carrier battle groups operating simultaneously in the NATO exercise Daily Double '82 . The Battle Force participated in the evacuation of non- combatants from Beirut, Lebanon in June, 1982 and the evacuation of members of the Palestinian Liberation Orga- nization from Beirut that September. Subsequently, Battle Force Sixth Fleet has supported U.S. elements of the Multinational Peacekeeping Force in Beirut. 92 RM2 o.v. Barlow MS1 v.B. copon CAPT J.E. Cartwright LCDFI M.H.

McGinnis ADMINISTRATIDN DEPARTMENT The seven divisions of Nimitz' Administrative Depart- ment have been heavily involved with virtually all aspects of life aboard ship this cruise. All the work performed leads toward improvement of day-to-day lives, enhancement of morale and quality management support for the ship. X-I Division includes the Captain's Office, Print Shop, Chaplains Office and Post Office. The division prepared over 700 End of Cruise Awards to Nimitz' top performers, provided printing service for four change of command ceremonies and daily newspapers for the crew while un- derway and accounted for more than a million pounds of mail this cruise. X-2 Division, including the Administrative and Personnel Offices, manages the department and provides manage- ment expertise across a broad spectrum of personnel mat- ters. X-3 Division includes the Ship's CPO compartment cleaners and CPO mess workers. One permanently as- signed Chief Petty Officer supervises the ever transient fifteen member division. Each department assigns men to assist for ninety days. X-4 Division includes the Legal Assistance Office and Discipline Office. The combined offices process hundreds of wills, powers of attorney, personal claims, foreign claims, Courts-Martial and non-judicial proceedings. X-5 Division, Special Services, is in charge of all tours, the Ship's recreational equipment, two gymnasiums and a sauna. The division is also responsible for the ship's Wel- fare and Recreation Fund and the Special Services Gear Locker. X-6 Division includes the combined efforts of Public Af- fairs and Media. Both offices present tours and visits to the public as well as provide entertainment for the crew through daily newspapers, familygrams, Cruisebook and port visit guides. Personnel assigned to the Master-at-Arms Division are the Ship's policemen. They maintain order and security throughout the ship. 94 'lllNb Q li . X-1 Division is comprised of the Captains Office, Post Office and the Print Shop. H I I The Captains Office provides direct administrative sup- port to the Commanding Officer. ln addition, the Captain s Office maintains officer records, controls incoming and outgoing ships official correspondence and classified ma- terials. Unique to the Captains Office is the Word Processing Center. WPC, referred to as the Annex , is the office where thousands of rough drafts of Nimitz Instructions are smoothed and written. The men of the Post Office handle the morale enhancing tasks of processing incoming and outgoing mail. More than one million pounds of mail has been accounted for this cruise. Hundreds of thousands of pounds of mail re- ceived this cruise was flown onboard by helicopters and Carrier Onboard Delivery QCODJ aircraft. The postal clerks worked day and night to maintain the flow of information between the crew and loved ones. They sold forty thousand dollars worth of money order sales and two hundred ten thousand dollars in postage, package handling, and processing of certified, insured and registered mail. Q . , The Print Shop is manned by trained Lithographers. They produced over 3,750,000 copies of high quality pro- ducts such as the Plan of the Day, Flight Plan, Green Sheets and the Ship's Newspaper as well as Ships direc- tives and operations orders. The Print Shop operates 24 hours a day with three eight hour shifts. Several rooms were overflowing with paper in November, however, today they stand empty as silent sen- tinals to the tremendous flow of paperwork. LT A. Jordan CWO3 C. Lichtenhan LIC R Crain Pcc H.

McKinnon X-3 X-3 Division has the responsibility of maintaining all Chief Petty Officer living and dining spaces aboard Nimitz. Ship's company and Air Wing personnel make up the manpower of the division. Men are normally assigned for a ninety day period. The CPO Coop Cleaners work under the direction of the Chief Petty Officer Mess Caterer, the X-3 Division Offi- cer. Personnel clean and maintain assigned spaces around the clock. As a result, the CPO berthing areas are some of the most immaculate compartments onboard. While assigned to the division, non-rated personnel learn proper techniques of deck care, preparation of sur- faces for painting, proper use, care and stowage of paint- ing materials, tiling of decks and innumerable tasks and daily responsibilities assocated with cleanliness. The Mess Caterer also supervises the maintenance of CPO galley spaces and the proper planning, preparation QQ Y?

Frennett 101 X-4 Division of the Administrative Department is com- prised of the Legal and Discipline Offices. The Legal Office processes courts-martials, claims and other investigations, provides legal assistance to the crew and assists other deployed units when necessary. The Discipline Office is responsible for handling and pro. cessing nonjudicial proceedings and provides counseling and guidance concerning military justice matters in gener- al. Crewmen who desire credible, factual information con- cerning legal questions frequently receive immediate as- sistance or are directed to the correct source. During this cruise the combined offices of Legal and Discipline have processed one hundred fifty eight wills, six hundred forty four powers of attorney, thirty six JAG Man- ual lnvestigations, seventy five personal claims, sixteen foreign claims, eight Administrative Discharge Boards, eighteen Special Courts-Martials, one General Courts- Martials, five Article 32 Pre-Trial investigations, twenty five Summary Courts-Martials and more than six hundred Non-Judicial Punishment hearings. In addition, the Command Judge Advocate General and Assistant Command Judge Advocate General act as claims and investigation liaison during foreign port visits and assist the embarked staff in legal matters.

Sports, tours and recreation programs are coordi- nated by the Special Services Officer. The Special Services Tickets and Tours program pro- vided thousands of low cost tours for the crew during the 1982-83 Med Cruise. Direct liaison was maintained with USO representatives throughout the deployment in order to ensure our men received the most for their money. Sports incorporated a variety of varsity and intramural sports with the annual Nimitz Captain's Cup Competition from ping pong and darts to boxing and basketball. Two gymnasiums, one forward and one aft, and a sauna, remained open twenty-four hours a day, each week while at sea, to accommodate the crew.

The Public Affairs mission is to disseminate accurate, timely information to the command and the public. During the deployment, the electronic and print media received many news releases, familygrams and Fleet Home Town News Service Releases. A staff of two jour- nalists and two strikers researched, verified and forwarded more than one thousand Fleet Home Town News Releases to the hometown newspapers of Nimitzmen. Media's functions on Nimitz are important for the morale of the crew. When deployed, Media provided fourteen hours of prime-time television entertainment daily. Live newscasts were televised each evening. A daily newspaper, the NIMITZ NEWS, was published when Nimitz was underway. More than one hundred issues of the NIMITZ NEWS were published during the deploy- ment. Media also supervised an internal radio station which was manned by thirty disc jockeys. They were scheduled to provide live, two hour programs of music that ranged from Classical to Heavy Metal. As a result, the crew enjoyed twelve hours of continuous music daily. PAO and Media combined efforts to organize official ship tours and to host media and distinguished visitors. LT D. Patterson LTJG G. Delcambre SN S. Kimball SN C. Smith AA G. Spencer CHAPLAINS Chaplain, your Holy Helo is standing by. Aw, go tell it to the Chaplain! Stand by for the evening prayer. Divine Services are now being held on the Foc'sle. Maintain silence in the vicinity of the Foc'sle during Divine Services. Good evening, Lord, Chaplain O'Connor down here for the men of Nimitz. Congratulations, Sailor, your wife just had a baby. Chaplain, I have a problem. Orthodox Divine Liturgy is now being held in the Chapel. You need a Navy Relief loan for WHAT? The Regional Librarians say it is the finest library afloat. Do you think she tells that to all the library managers? The Sixth Fleet Jewish Chaplain rode Nimitz during the Jewish Holidays. It appears that for the first time in Navy history, Chaplains of four major faiths served on a ship at sea together. While at sea there was an average of thirty three religious activities per week. The Chaplains led Bible Studies, Worship Services, Fellowship meetings, pre-mar- riage seminars and a post-deployment adjustment ses- sion. Also hundreds of Red Cross messages were handled and thousands of dollars of Navy Relief funds were loaned to crewmembers primarily to assist in getting home on emergency leave. While onboard for the Passover season, the Sixth Fleet Chaplain assisted the Ship's Chaplains in a dedication ser- vice for six new stained glass windows in the Nimitz Chapel. Each window depicts a day of creation. They are truly works of art. n'rP! 'H ' f lu. so MACM J H Pitman MA1 J. P. Carcich AO1 A. Hessler OS1 FLW. McCoy MA1 L D Molden AMH1 V. Turner EM2 C.

It is organized to perform everything from cutting locks and conducting criminal investigations, to providing security for dignitaries. Comprised of various rates and ratings, the Master-At- Arms force is built around a nucleus of permanently as- signed, professional MAA's. As with many police organizationsg the MAA force is subdivided into three groups: Patrol, Investigations and Administration. The three groups work toward the overall security and well being of the ship. At the basic level are the Patrolmen. They rove the entire ship to ensure that order and discipline is maintained. When a crime such as assault, larceny or drug abuse occurs, the Investigators follow leads to determine the origin and recover evidence involved in the crime. The administrative functions are handled by the Chief Master-At-Arms, the Assistant Chief Master-At-Arms, Two Section Leaders and a Division Yeoman. The responsibilities delegated to the administrators in- clude screening prospective Master-At-Arms, supervising the duty section, mustering restricted personnel and train- ing new patrolmen in police related subjects. Regulations and instructions are instituted to protect the rights of Naval personnel on board the Nimitz. Select Petty Officers on board are entrusted to enforce those rules and regulations. That is why the phrase Service and Enforce- ment through Professionalism is more than a motto, it I5 the embodiment of the Master-At-Arms Force. , ,..... .- .fkm-ra-gr --:1--N--'rf r - -'f' l T'7'f' ' ' ' , -...................... ,.,.,....-...Q,-.-...,...,...-..:vr1+-'--'- V ' - - , MM2 G.

Repair capabilities include such items as jet engine structural repair, microminiature components and the cali- bration of test equipment and test benches. One major responsibility of AIMD is to provide enlisted aircrew and maintenance personnel for SALT ONE, the ship's Trader Carrier Onboard Delivery aircraft. AIMD also maintains all the yellow ground support equipment that is used to tow, start and repair embarked aircraft. 108 Managing a precision Measuring Equipment Labratory that calibrates meters and gauges throughout the ship is another responsibility. An inventory of over 14,000 Support Equipment QSEJ items valued in excess of S200,000,000.00 is maintained to support the Air Wing, Air and Weapons Departments and AIMD itself. Various computers assist technicians in trob- leshooting complex equipment black boxes down to in- dividual circuits or faulty parts. An aggressive quality assurance QQAQ program monitors the department's daily production effort and helps ensure that repairable aircraft components are returned to service expeditiously and that they meet the Navy's highest stan- dards. :cnt-f. :.z:.1t.1rf:5.,m'.,....J5.g:f.s-L.,, gt., ,..:,,j--,x-W -'L ' ft--4. - .. ,. ,, ,, ,.:,,- ' W., f g .. , , , , ' ' - - .V -- t. .4 J.. ,,.,. .f....

Dayton AIR DEP The officers and men of the Nimitz Air Department take great pride in operating and managing the airport onthe worId's largest warship. The Air Boss on the 010 level has the overall responsibility for managing the five hun- dred man department. He is supported by men with tireless energy and dedication who work on the flight deck, in the catapult and arresting gear machinery spaces, on the han- gar deck, in the JP-5 fueling spaces and in the administra- tive offices. Days at sea are often long and always demanding, but they contain a unique opportunity to experience new hori- zons and constant challenges. The challenge of ensuring the embarked aircraft are safely moved, launched, recov- ered, and fueled, has been met with total success. The Nimitz Air Department contributed significantly to the ship's receiving the coveted Admiral Flatley Memorial Award learned by the carrier contributing the most to avi- ation safetyl. Our crews demonstrated that not only can they produce under pressure, but that they can do it safely and efficiently. Entering a Sixth Fleet Mediterranean deployment with the fleet's Battle Efficiency E gave us high expectations. Those expectations were met and exceeded when the RT men of Air Department operated for ten consecutive days around the clock prosecuting an anti-submarine warfare challenge, while simultaneously launching normal cyclic aircraft to keep a watchful eye on the Eastern Mediterra- nean international situation. The department demonstrated versatility by Shifting modes of operation to adapt to the constantly changing situations encountered in the Med . These included refu. eling, launching, and recovering of aircraft, diplomatic vis. its, Vertreps and Unreps for food, dry goods, parts, and the receipt and delivery of mail. During this deployment, more than 16 million gallons of jet fuel was received and issued. The Catapult and Arrest- ing Gear Teams achieved several milestones, with Cat One launching its 32,000th shot, and the department achieving its 96,000th launch and recovery, plus over 10,000 safe aircraft moves being logged. Total teamwork was required and achieved by all hands. The challenge and accomplishments of our department will long be remembered because we did our best to main- tain the freedom of the high seas and the United States of America! 126 -A V V . ,,, , ,, 2..,..,..-....ffv-ff.....,ff--A---H --v-fQf v ' , ,-,,.-..,,... ,..-,. 1. ,- ,.,..N-.yd A,,..+-,,,,.....-V-W1-WM k ' ffi Q, , , I M f 127 sXlMlTs e i ii 4 a f l . , ii -r . 1 . .. i C v v .. im ' I J 'fi T .

The Air Boss and Assistant Boss provide the driving force behind the five hundred man department. From Pri- mary Flight Control lPri-Flyl, they supervise the launch, recovery and refueling of all aircraft. They also monitor the progress of maintenance on the four catapults, arresting gear and fuels equipment. The Aircraft Handling officer supervises the movement and maintenance spotting of aircraft on the flight deck and hangar deck. The White Shirts qtower operatorsl assist the Air Boss in Primary Flight Control. Pri-Fly towers 120 feet above the water and provides the best possible visibility for flight deck monitoring. The Administrative section within V-O Division is com- prised of the Departmental Administrative Assistant, De- partmental Leading Chief Petty Officer QLCPOJ, Depart- mental 3-M and Ship's Force Overhaul Management Sys- tem QSFOMSJ Coordinator and Yeomen. They ensure the efficient and timely accomplishment of all Air Department administrative requirements. 128 CDR T.W. Triebel CDR D. Nimmer CDR J. Phillips ABCM J. Eubanks ABCM J. Miller YN2 J.

Rackley V-1 V-1 Division manages, with great pride, all tasks associ- ated with the huge four and one-half acre flight deck. The Yellow Shirts and Blue Shirts accomplish all aircraft movements, man the four deck edge elevators, and oper- ate the many varied items of mobile ground support equip- ment. The Aircraft Directors, Handlers and Tractor Drivers work as long as the ship remains at flight operations. At times this requires port and starboard working shifts. The division remains continuously on its toes during the ever changing schedule of daily flight operations. Once flight operations secure, the veterans of the flight deck concentrate on training new arrivals. Class- room training combined with hands-on-training has proven to be the best deterrent for flight deck mishaps. The responsibilities of V-1 Division do not end when in port. They are always ready to meet the needs of the nine squadrons of Carrier Air Wing EIGHT QCVW-8l, and to accomplish minor maintenance requirements. This in- cludes providing support for necessary aircraft respots lrepositioningl, and numerous elevator runs. The Crash and Salvage crew Bed Shirts of V-1 Divi- sion provide twenty-four hour on-the-scene crash and fire- fighting protection on the Roof in the event of aircraft accidents. They also remain alert and pay particular atten- tion to aircraft turn-ups and the steam catapults. ,, ,,,.. V ,... V . U --'Sq-:w w N -T .1 wt' . ,. -,f . .gif ,ugh-.4.-Mwiis,...+-0 1' . ,, .

Some with minds that grasp machine technology with ease, others whose me- chanical skills are unsurpassed. Possessing a multitude of skills, they strive for excellence because theirjob leaves no margin for error. Their mission is to successfully and safely provide launch and recovery capabilities for aircrews and multi- million dollar aircraft. A very basic description for a very complex job. Four high technology catapults and five complex arrest- ing gear engines and an endless amount of support equip- ment, all coincide to complete this essential mission to the battle ready carrier. Traveling from zero knots to an aver- age 150 knots in two to three seconds, aircraft are cata- pulted into the sky to rendezvous and conduct their mis- sions. Returning, they engage the wires at 130 knots and completely stop within 340 feet. Under the supervision of a few selected aviators, profi- cient Maintenance Officer and skilled Chief Petty Officers, V-2 Division displays and provides the operational readi- ness demanded of them. They are a unique group, rare in their specialty and in their profession, all very different and yet very much alike in their common goal. LCDR W. Anderson LCDR B. Crawford LCDR A. Rode LCDR R.P.

Using a wide range of media from sophisti- cated computersfcryptographic and satellite equipments to morse code and signal flags, the two divisions of the Communications Department provide rapid, reliable and secure communications to support the command and staff's mission. Business never shuts down in the communications cen- ter, located in the middle of the ship or high up on the 01O level where the signal shack sits. Fladiomen and Signal- men worked a continuous port and starboard watch rotation throughout the cruise in order to provide around- the-clock communications service. The hard work and dedication of the Communications Department enabled the Nimitz to win the prestigious Green C for the second consecutive year. This award is given annually by Commander, Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlan- tic Fleet, QCOMNAVAIRLANTT, for being the best in the ship's class. The men of Communications Department are extremely proud of this accomplishment. ln addition to providing the voice of command and con- trol during Med Cruise 82-83, the Communications De- partment handled thousands of personal telegrams to and from friends and families back home. When direct conver- sation was of the essence, the Military Affiliated Radio System QMARST shack was available, manned by volun- teer operators of many ratings. Even the latest news and sports updates were provided to the ship's crew and embarked squadrons on a daily basis from the high frequency radio circuits maintained in the communications center. The seventy-eight men of the Communications Depart- ment stand proudly behind their excellent reputation of being the fleet's best in providing responsive service to the ship, embarked units and battle force, and even more so, being a part of the Nimitz Team. 152 T ,Q w K ,- ,f gs' X, ,WRX xsxi , X X 35 K xxx V V, VV Limb I it , 5. .

The Signalman rating is one of the oldest in the Navy, performing an important role in the Nimitz' Communica- tions Teams. With the use of Semaphore, Flaghoist, Flashing Light and other visual methods, CS Division makes Battle Group Communications possible when all the sophisticated and technical complex systems are limited by radio silence or unavailable equipment. Over eight thousand tactical and record messages are handled per year. Additionally, they provide vital ship tracking and identifi- cation data to the Bridge and Combat information Center on approximately two thousand ships annually. While the Signal Team's primary role is that of communi- cations, they also carry out ceremonial traditions that date back to the beginning of the U.S. Navy. CS Division must ensure that the applicable flags and pennants are correctly displayed for distinguished visitors and embarked com- mands. They perform passing honors to other maritime vessels, fly the international call signs upon entering and leaving port, and dress the ship in a colorful display of flags for various holidays. lt is no wonder that first impressions of a ship are often judged from the sharpness of its Signal Bridge. 158 SMCM W.

Bradford 1 -ST First Division of Deck Department is responsible for Nlmitz' Forecastle fFoc'sle for shorty, her giant anchor chain, and mighty anchors. It comes as no surprise that First Division has acquired the nickname The Chain Gang. Nimitz' Forecastle is one of the most impressive spaces onboard. It is available for religious services, inspections, musical entertainment and special ceremonies. Maintaining the Forecastle's immaculate appearance re- quires a daily effort, superb seamanship and a personal interest. During the deployment, the division also over- hauled Deck House 42, the port sponson and preserved the ship's two, thirty ton anchors and huge anchor chains that measure 1080 feet. Each one is composed of links that weigh 365 pounds each. During underway replenishment fUnrepJ First Division is responsible for the Unrep stations which receive both fuel and cargo. Many of the Boatswain's Mates jobs are difficult and dangerousg however the watchful eyes of experienced Pet- ty Officers and conscious concern for safety have given First Division a track record of accident free operation. The Boatswain's Mates of First Division's Chain Gang take a great deal of pride in being a part of Nimitz, where Teamwork is a Tradition. f, 162 me DP. wilson cwos P.

They perform the majority of sewing that is required to make boat canopies, brow curtains, Ouarterdeck curtains and various other banners. They designed a flag commemorat- ing all POWs and MlAs, which was given much praise by the Commanding Officer and Admiral's Staff. Their regular responsibilities consist of manufacturing various covers, bags, tool pouches, curtains and doing a considerable amount of uniform tailoring. Second Division is assigned two underway replenish- ment stations. Station W7 is used to transfer cargo from ship to ship and Station 411 is a refueling station used to bring onboard jet fuel which is needed by their shipmates in the Air Department. Second Division maintains and operates the port motor whaleboat which is used during man overboard evolutions. One of their other major responsibilities is maintaining and operating the Boat and Aircraft Crane. The crane is used to put liberty boats in the water while inport overseas, and to onload cargo and other supplies. While underway, Second Division personnel stand watches on the bridge. They are an integral part of the bridge team and their duty is to steer and assist in navigat- ing the ship. At anchor, they provide boat coxswains and bowhooks for liberty boats.

The professional manner in which these highly trained Boatswain Mates respond is recog- nized by all. Ever vigilant to respond quickly, their expertise has saved many adrift sailors throughout the years. Third Division is responsible for the preservation and upkeep of several high visibility spaces. While pierside, they ensure the Nimitz Room and Quarterdeck areas are spotless and always ready for visiting dignitaries. Another important function accomplished by this hard working division is the rigging and operating of station number fifteen, a Destroyer Refueling Station. Although rarely called upon to demonstrate this skill, they are al- ways awaiting their chance to excel. While underway, Third Division personnel man the ship's incinerator room around the clock. On a ship the size of Nimitz, the disposal of the daily trash is a never ending job. Although relatively small, Third Division is totally dedi- cated to accomplishing their major tasks in a highly sup- portive and professional manner. 166 LTJG A. Gustavson BM1 Fi. Taylor BM2 M.

Personnel assigned are in charge of the storage and issuance of cleaning gear on a weekly and quarterly basis for the entire ship. With six thousand personnel onboard, this is a major task. Two paint lockers are maintained tone forward and one aftl for the control of paint issue for all of the ship's depart- ments. When interior spaces require painting, 5th and 6th Division's spray painting team is tasked with painting the overhead in a timely and professional manner. During Med Cruise 82-83, Deck Department was espe- cially concerned with the training of new arrivals. New personnel reporting aboard assigned to 5th and 6th Divi- sion received instructions in the Boatswain's Mate rating. A strong emphasis was placed in the care, safety and use of job related equipment and materials. 5th and 6th Division runs a PMS team that is tasked with the upkeep of all the ship's two hundred and thirty life rafts and thousands of inflatable life jackets. They are responsi- ble for the cleaning and preservation of the ship's sides. This in itself is a monumental job and it is one in which the men of 5th and 6th Division have a deep seated sense of pride. SN Fl.K. Woodrow SA B. Breining SA T. Carr SN M.E. Swanda SA J.

Dental Department provides a full range of Dental services to the entire crew seven daY5 3 week. Dental Technicians maintain their 6-ClU'P' ment and spaces in a constant state Of max mum readiness. Nimitz' Dental Department is comprised Qf five Dental Officers and twelve Dental Teflllm' cians, and with a full service facility providing the professional specialties of Oral SUVQGVY1 Prosthetics, Endodontics and Periodontics as well as General Dentistry, X-Rays, Cleanings, Stannous Flouride Applications and Oral Hy- giene Education. During the 1982-83 Mediterranean Cruise, the Dental Department received approximately eight thousand patient visits requiring over three thousand six hundred examinations and three thousand x-rays. Over four thousand sev- en hundred tooth surfaces were restored, better than one hundred root canals treated and filled and nearly two hundred prosthetic services ren- dered. The Dental spaces have a small but complete Dental Laboratory capable of fabricating high .t .,........-.-....-...-...- - quality appliances from full dentures to compli- cated multi-unit porcelain fused to metal bridge work. The X-Flay facility includes both a stan- dard and a panographic X-Ray machine. The Dental Department personnel are also actively involved in a variety of collateral and volunteer functions that affect every facet of the ship's activities. The Dental Departments five Cardiopulmon- ary Flesuscitation, QCPFU instructors worked many countless hours to organize and maintain Nimitz' CPR program, and who were responsi- ble for certifying over half of the seven-hundred and fifty qualified personnel on the Nimitz' CPR team. -. ., -... -W .., , ., AA, ,Z .,,. ...-,,............,...--.-.-.....-1, ,.,.-,... -Kv-:-f1+--1-t-,':'vN --'-'f 1r'1::'ff'-f--'-- -vw-A--'f-- - 'Cf'i - ' DENTAL CDR D.

Like all cruises, it was unique, full of new experiences, and many memories. Endless preparations for the complex overhaul to be accomplished by Newport News Shipyard occupied a great deal of time. The ship's force planned hundreds of jobs which will be accomplished during the year-long over- haul. Newport News Shipyard Technicians have to con- duct numerous machinery evaluations and tests. These preparations will bear fruition in a successful overhaul. The most significant achievement of the cruise was re- i Z , ,. 1 if , v. x ceiving the coveted Engineering EH for excellence in all aspects of propulsion and auxiliary maintenance and opef' ation in 1982. Engineering and Reactor DepartmeniS shared the award. ln April, the Engineering and Reactor Departments SUC' cessfully completed the Operational Reactor Safeguards Examination, QORSEJ.

The operation end of the game re- quires that personnel be nuclear trained and be qualified electrical operators. Electrical operator is a watch which monitors and controls the Navy's largest sea going gener- ators, and distribution system. The Electrician's, both Interior Communication Electri- cians and Electrician's Mates, are also responsible for maintenance of many support electrical components and equipment, such as motors, controllers and numerous alarm systems in each main machinery room, shaft alley and diesel room. They are also responsible for the operation and mainte- nance of the ship's degaussing system, that is designed to make the ship safe from magnetic weaponry. Though E-1 Division had minor casualties this cruise, there have been fewer major breakdowns and the men were able to find some much deserved liberty time. Most of the cruise was devoted to training and prepara- tion for the Operational Reactor Safeguards Examination. This preparation included preservation and cleanliness of the propulsion spaces and maintaining a level of knowl- edge which continues to be an ongoing evolution. LTJG RB. Fowler ICC J.E.

Ramppen HAB Habitability Division is responsible for performing rou- tine repairs on plumbing, heating, ventilation and electrical systems throughout the ship. Quick response to trouble calls ensures that the highest quality of living condition is maintained onboard Nimitz. The division handled an aver- age of 75 trouble calls each day while the ship was de- ployed. Habitability Division covers a broad spectrum of respon- sibilities with a division comprised of electrician's mates, hull technicians and machinist's mates. Habitability Division is an essential element of the Engi- neering Department and contributes significantly to the Nimitz. The Habitability Division completed more than 12,000 trouble calls requiring a great deal of skill and technical knowledge in the EM, MM, and HT ratings. They were known for their immediate response and slogan Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. The men of Habitability installed more than 30 toilets, 35 urinals, 40 hand dryers, and replaced 300 shower units with 300 hand held, water saving ones. They refurbished the shop and tool issue room creating a better working environment, and a more professional and workable sys- tem. The division has proven itself to be one of the finest divisions onboard Nimitz. Pride and professionalism have made the men work for a more effective and shining exam- ple onboard Nimitz and in our new Navy. HT2 w.n. wrsgm W EM3 D.H. Vidal EM3 L.R. Watson EM3 D.C.

These men can be found working to supply, in a typical Med deployment, 40,500 engine miles worth of main pro- pulsion, 700,000,000 gallons of pure water, heating steam for showers, laundry, and cooking, as well as running the generators that provide ship's electrical power. During Med Cruise 82-83, M Division completed several long range goals. Besides providing the usual propulsion steam and pure water, they restored the Auxiliary Boiler to service for the first time in many years. On short notice, M Division provided 110,000 gallons of fuel to USS Farragut. This refueling of a small boy WHS another evolution which had not been attempted for many months. lnport to M Division means a chance to work on vital equipment that cannot be taken down at sea, and just as important, a chance to have some liberty ashore. To say that the shipyard is an Engineering evolution is an understatement. M Division alone has projected ahead for more than one third of all Ship's Force Overhaul Manage- ment System work to be completed this period. lnport or at sea, one thing is consistent, that's doing the job right, Nimitz' Snipes are rightfully proud of their Hole and the services they provide to the ship as their role in Teamwork'A Tradition. 7' MM2 R.

This includes continual plotting of the ship's position and the procurement and maintenance of navigational charts, publications and equipment. This highly talented department is composed of three officers and twenty-four enlisted men who carry out their uniquely important mission. All Quartermasters are trained in celestial navigation. Their duties include fixing the ship's position every thirty minutes by celestial and electronic means and maintaining the ship's deck log. Even with the products of mankind's technological ad- vancements readily available, the time-proven art of shooting stars, plotting sun lines and determining the ship's position using heavenly bodies continues to be the primary means of navigation. During critical evolutions such as underway replenish- ment and restricted water transits, Master Helmsmen are required to take the shipls wheel because of their excep- tional steering skills and experience. In addition, the Navigation Department has one Yeoman assigned who manages the administrative functions of the department. As always, the Navigation Department's can do spirit is an integral part of the Nimitz' team. CDR H. McDaniel LT J. Droddy ENS W. Wilkinson QMC J. Murrow QM1 P. Distaso QM2 K, Riese QM2 J.

Mitchler Operations Department is responsible for the planning, scheduling and coordinating of nearly all of Nimitz' activi- ties, ranging from personnel mail and cargo transfer to the interception and elimination of hostile missiles. Combat information Center, KCICJ employs Operations Specialists, Antisubmarine Warfare Operators and Elec- tronic Warfare personnel to collect and evaluate tactical information critical to the successful defense of the ship. The four hundred men in eight divisions, provide Nimitz and her escorts with many special skills and services which include professional photography, meteorology and 208 expert electronic equipment repairs. n I Air Traffic Controllers utilize surveillance and preCISI0n approach radars to enable safe departure and recovery of aircraft, even under the most adverse weather conditions. Carrier Intelligence Center, QCVICJ monitors events of tactical and political importance in order to provide com- prehensive briefs and debriefs for aircrews. I Through the use of photographic interpretation tech- niques and computer data base manipulation, theynare able to disseminate valuable intelligence to appf0Pf'-ate battle group, fleet and national commanders. 209 OX Ops Admin, COX Divisionl, is the administrative nerve center of the operational Nimitz team. During the Mediterranean Cruise 82-83, the personnel assigned to Ops Admin produced a variety of operational reports, such as the Aircraft Material Readiness Reports, fAMRR'sl, Unit Reports, fUNITREP'sJ, Movement Reports, fMOVREP'sJ, and Logistic Requirements, fLOGREQ'sJ, in addition, Ops Admin is the Casualty Report, QCASREPJ control office for the entire ship. The office maintains and routinely updates a file of all casualty reports processed during each fiscal year. They also update and provide Casrep guidance, instructions and notices for all departments. The division is unique in that it is composed of various ratings. An Electronics Technician, QETJ, compiles all 3M information for the department. The Leading Petty Officer, an Air Controlman, QACQ, functions as the Departmental Career Counselor. A Data Processing Technician, QDPJ, coordinates tran- sient sailors who are on TAD, fTemporariIy Assigned Dutyl orders. He designates which divisions within Operations Department will provide men for working party assign- ments and as Leading Chief of the department, he also screens duty sections for the entire department. The Four Yeoman, fYN'sl, of Ops Admin type all corre- spondence and Casrep reports for the eight divisions with- in the department. They monitor all OPTAR, fOperating Targetl, funding requirements and expenditures for the de- partment. They also process personnel evaluations forthe three hundred forty two man department. 210 CDR D. Powers ENS J. Hubbard DPCS W. Cowen ACC J. Sell YN3 Fl Strickland YN2 K.

Strike Operations, fStrike Opsj, a separate component of OX Division, is responsible for the targeting, weapon- eering and planning of all tactical air strikes in addition to producing the daily fight schedule for the embarked Air Wing. Strike Ops produces the green sheet which is the daily schedule of operational events. They also produce the pink sheet iwhich is a preview of events scheduled for the following weekl and maintain records of all readiness and shlpwide competitive exercises. ' The division also assists with the planning and coordina- tion of underway replenishments. Meetings are coordinat- ed in Strike Ops office prior to each event. i l l l l 211 OA The Meteorological Office QOA Divisionl, otherwise known as Fleet Weather Nimitz, provides twenty four hours of continuous forecast service to the ship, Air Wing squadrons, embarked staff and all other ships assigned to the Nimitz Battle Group. There are four ladders between the Weather Office and the Signal Bridge on Nimitz. Every hour underway during the deployment fevery thirty minutes during flight quar. tersl, an Aerographer's Mate climbed those four ladders to take an ob , fSynoptic weather observationl. Each ob includes all the information a meteorologist needs to tell him what was happening, weatherwise, at that particular time and place. By collecting all the obs from the Eastern Atlantic, Europe, the Mediterranean, the Middle East and North Af- rica, Nimitz Aerographer's Mates can draw a map depict- ing the weather all around the ship. Using this map the forecasters make their predictions. ln addition to weather forecasts, OA Division makes range forecasts for radars, radios, weapons systems and the Air Wing's Forward Looking lnfared QFLIRQ equipment. The Aerographer's Mates, iAG'si, present an updated live weather report daily at sea concerning the local Medi- terranean and complete United States weather forecast during the ships evening news program. It requires almost two hours of preparation to compile accurate and informa- tive weather reports for approximately five minutes of live broadcast. LT L. Warrenfeltz AGC W. Gray AGC D.

Air Ops is responsible for notifying the proper 39900595 regarding when and where Nimitz aircraft will be flying, ensuring the ship's daily flight schedule is adhered to, and coordinating everything imaginable that concerns the movement of aircraft, personnel and cargo on and Off Nimitz. CCA provides the air traffic control services that enable our planes to safely depart and return to the ship regard- less of weather or limited visibility. I The Air Transfer Office is probably the least recognIZ9d branch of the division. ATO is responsible for the move- ment of passengers, cargo and mail. The OC Division aboard Nimitz is the home of the finest group of Air Traffic Controllers in the Atlantic Fleet- The seven officers and thirty four enlisted men of the Carrier Air Traffic Control Center, QCATTCJ provide the service that enables our Air Wing to safely operate In 'all weather conditions, day and night. A Controller's familial voice can be a reassuring sound to a pilot who is opefatmg hundreds of miles from the nearest land base. The greatest satisfaction that the men of CATCC re- ceive for their long, tedious hours is from the pilot WHO stops by after a recovery on a pitch black night to offer 8 sincere Well done .

Twelve decks be- low the noise and excitement of the flight deck with quiet precision, nuclear trained men operate and maintain the largest, most sophisticated shipboard nuclear propulsion plant in the world. The Reactor Department is made up of some of the most intelligent, reliable and highly trained men in the Navy. Their mission to ensure Nimitz meets her operational com- mitments. Their record is flawless. As a result of the corrective and preventive maintenance carefully performed by the men of the Reactor Department and their dedication to the operation of the nuclear propul- sion plant, Nimitz has yet to miss a commitment and is always capable of steaming at flank speeds and remaining for long periods of time on the scene. The Reactor Department is made up of an administra- tion section and five divisions: Reactor Controls, Reactor Electrical, Reactor Laboratory, Reactor Mechanical and Reactor Training. Electronics Technicians of the Reactor Department ensure sensors and control functions for the safe operation of the nuclear power plants function depen- dably and accurately. Electricians Mates ensure that the power generating equipment onboard is always in excel- lent condition ready to supply the huge electrical demandS of the ship. Engineering Laboratory Technicians petf0fm the vital function of ensuring that all chemistry associated with the power plants is kept ln Spec and that all radlolfl' gical survey functions are properly conducted. Machinists Mates maintain the mechanical and fluid systems associ- ated with the reactor plants. All nuclear trained operators who report onboard Nimitz are required to complete b3F'f7 nuclear engineering qualificiations in Reactor Training Divi- sion by studying the various mechanical, electrical, reactor control, and chemistry systems associated with the'enQ neering plants. After approximately six months of inten- sive study in Reactor Training, the new operator reports t0 his parent division within the Reactor or EngineerIr19 De' partments. CDR J. Craighill LCDR K.

No team better exemplifies this concept than the personnel of the Reactor Office. Despite voluminous administrative requirements, they adepty respond to each challenge producing punctual, quality products. A proud, professional group, they give their all to support the blue glow. The 1982-1983 Mediterranean Cruise was highlighted by the attainment of several significant departmental milestones. Foremost of these achievements was the win- ning of the COMNAVAIRLANT Red E for sustained excellence in aircraft carrier engineering performance. Painted on the Island by the Commanding Officer, Reactor Officer and the Chief Engineer, the Red E epitomizes the diligent effort and cooperation exerted by each member of the department over the past year. Though many long hours supporting Nimitz through continuous and reliable propulsion, catapulting and electri- cal power generators and through long hours of classroom training, written and oral examinations, drills, an Oper- ational Reactor Safeguards Examination QORSEJ, Pre Overhaul Testing and Inspections QPOT 8t l'sJ and other multitudinous Pre Overhaul Preparations, the capabilities, endurance and determination of Reactor Department per- sonnel were continually tested, but each challenge was met with similar results-SUCCESS! ip mg., 530 NAC E IMITZ CS LTJG M.

Hood iReactor Laboratory, QRLJ, Division consists of highly trained Nuclear Machinist's Mates who, in addition to their normal qualifications, have qualified as Engineering Labo- ratory Technicians QELTJ. The ELT's or Wizards of RL Division are responsible for maintaining proper chemistry and radiological controls of the nuclear reactor plants. Proper chemistry control ensures the safe and reliable operation of Nimitz' fluid systems for years to come. This task involves the daily monitoring, sampling and analysis of Nimitz' fluid systems involving the use of highly sophisti- cated equipment to determine the chemical concentra- tions existing in the water. The rigorous radiation monitor- ing program continually verifies that no unsafe conditions exist from Nimitz' nuclear reactor plant operation. The men are also qualified on mechanical watchstations and maintain watches on various pieces of equipment along with the other divisions of Reactor and Engineering Departments. Reactor Laboratory Division was a bench- mark for the highly successful Reactor Safeguards Exami- nation held in April. The division attained a grade of above average in radiological controls and chemistry for the third examination in a row. The members of RL Division take great pride in the con- tributions they have made to the department and to the Nimitz Team. Through uninterrupted attention to detail and painstaking precision, the men of RL division have earned the right to boast, We're Number One ! r 1 3 J I I i i J E Reactor Mechanical QRMJ Division is comprised of ap- proximately seventy-five nuclear trained Machinist's Mates who are responsible for the operation, maintenance and repair of all fluid and mechanical systems associated with both complex Nimitz nuclear power plants. Prior to reporting aboard, each Reactor Mechanic com- pletes one year of intensive training, which includes ther- modynamics, nuclear physics, electrical theory, radiologi- cal controls and chemistry. It culminates in qualification as a mechanical operator at a land-based prototype. Once aboard, when the Real Job starts, the Reactor Mechanics begin qualification on six major watchstations and become a vital part of the Nimitz' team. RM Division has energetically worked around the clock throughout the cruise containing and tapping the bound- less energy of the sun inside both nuclear reactors to keep Nimitz alive and breathing. Amidst this already awe- some responsibility, the Reactor Mechanics flawlessly re- paired two important systems which suffered damage while underway. The Division's motto, We Run the Sun, was reinforced when several Reactor Mechanics were awarded commen- dations by the Commanding Officer and Commander Bat- tle Force Sixth Fleet!Commander Carrier Group TWO for untiring and professional efforts. Only an effort of Nimitz Teamwork on the part o' Division personnel brought success. LTJG M. Detzel ENS J.A. Leonaitis MMCS E, Willingham MMC G. Davis MMC K. Dunn MM1 V.J. Delheary MM1 D.H.

Tucker 1 241 1 :1 1 11 RT Reactor Training, RT Division, is the nuclear operator's first stop on the road to qualification as a propulsion plant watchstander onboard the largest warship in the world. ln RT, a new man must review previous training received onboard other ships or at Nuclear Power School and pro- totype and must become thoroughly familiar with all of Nimitz' systems in order to eventually qualify as a plant operator. The instructors assigned to RT are the best teachers from the other nuclear divisions and are tasked with keep- ing the information flowing with lectures, seminars, and other learning tools. During the 1982-83 Mediterranean Cruise, more than 15,000 hours of training sessions and seminars were held in RT to continually update the knowl- edge level of all the men in Reactor Department. More than 50 men completed the Basic Nuclear Engineering Qualifi- cation. Additionally, over 300 watchstation qualifications were completed and in excess of 200 different examina- tions were written and issued. RT Division also serves as the hub for all advanced divi- sional training. Included in the assigned duties in the man- ning of the Propulsion Plant Drill Team by experienced Petty Officers who conduct casualty control drills on a daily basis to maintain watch team proficiency. During the cruise, the watchstanders were exposed to and evaluated on over 700 various casualty control drills and evolutions. Reactor Training Division serves to ensure that all of the operators are kept continually and thoroughly trained for their entire tour of duty on Nimitz. LTJG R. Spaulding ENS P. Morford ETC M.

The department is split into two functional areas: Safety and 3M. The Safety Officer is responsible for the implementation of numerous programs associated with Aviation, Ship- board, industrial and Traffic Safety. He also investigates and reports all mishaps that result in injury or material damage. Four senior Petty Officers assist in the implementation of various Safety programs. An Aviation Ordnanceman and an Aviation Boatswain's Mate, fNimitz flight deck Safety Observersl, concentrate on ordnance, catapult and arresting gear systems. Below the flight deck, a Hull Main- tenance Technician specializes in Damage Control and a Boatswain's Mate concentrates on small boat safety and underway replenishment operations. The 3M Officer and two assistants, a Chief Machinist Mate and interior Communications Electrician, oversee the Ship's Maintenance, Material and Management sys- tem which is designed to provide standards for planning, scheduling, controlling and performing planned mainte- nance of all ships equipment. The Department also relies heavily on one dedicated Yeoman without who's service the office would come to a stand still. Nimitz won the coveted Admiral Flatley Memorial Award for 1982. This award is presented annually to the aircraft carrier which has the best safety record in the entire Navy. Winning such an award was a team effort involving the entire Nimitz crew and Carrier Air Wing EIGHT. 246 CDR O. Fowler LCDR E McCutchen MMC W. Segovis 1 3 ABE1 W. Buchanan BM1 J. Daniels AO1 J.

This is a tremendous responsibility and in consequence Supply is the largest Department on the ship with fourteen officers and more than seven hundred enlisted men. The functions of the Supply Department are varied. They include financial planning and control, repair part support for the ship and embarked aircraft, laundry and dry cleaning service, food service lincluding a fast food linel, officer billeting lfeaturing the 5-Star Service of Hotel Nim- itz l. Officer messing, barbershop service, tailoring, retail stores iluxury items, sundries, uniforms, tobaccol, dis- bursing services, data processing and cargo handling and storage are additional functional areas of the Supply De- partment. The Supply Department strives to epitomize the Nimitz motto Teamwork is a Tradition . Their role is one of team- work, taking care of the personal needs of a 5500 man crew and embarked Wing and the logistics requirements of all work centers. This job can be quite challenging at times, but it's always rewarding. Logistics support is a key factor in the readiness of ship- board systems, the airwing, and the crew's morale. Rou- tine requirements must be anticipated months in advance to ensure they reach Nimitz overseas. High priority re- quirements must be identified and flown to the ship before their absence degrades Nimitz' readiness. The Supply Department has met many challenges per- forming these functions, llt's not easy to find Sweet and Low in Sardinial, but they were more than a match for the extended Eastern Mediterranean Logistics Pipeline. Diffi- cut jobs were done immediately, impossible jobs just took a little longer. During the deployment, Supply Department sold almost three million dollars of ship store merchandise including 70,000 cases of soda, 1000 boom boxes and 60,000 batteries. Supply Department loaded 5000 pallets of mate- rial and used 18,000 pounds of flour and 36,000 pounds of beef patties each month - that's a lot of sliders . During the deployment the Supply Department enter- tained the Chief of Naval Operations QCNOJ in the Ward- room with a special dinner. The Disbursing Officer made untold number of payments and foreign currency ex- changes. The Computer operators and key punchers ac- cumulated lots of data to help Supply Department plan more effectively. The Aviation Stores Division set a num- ber of records for their outstanding aviation support, No- body does it better . ln short, the Supply Department will look back on this cruise with satisfaction knowing it was a job well done. They've kept many records so that those who remain after the overhaul will remember how it was accomplished. Y, 1 ,- . Q if :xnxx ! 'C we ff . ' e.

This requires monitoring twenty million dollars of expen- ditures annually and processing in excess of 100,000 re- cords per year. S-1 Division is staffed by two Supply Corps Officers, three Chief Petty Officers and twenty five enlisted person- nel. Their duties vary from Administration, Reactor Sup- port, Financial Management, Technical Ftesearch, Inven- tory Control, Data Processing and Communication exper- tise. At sea the division is manned and operates twenty-four hours a day. The men were involved in numerous under- way replenishments. They also processed a mountain of supply requisitions and paperwork. All of it was a success. The Nimitz' crew was supplied with everything from actu- ators to zinc ointment. The men of the S-1 Division are proud of the extended and rewarding role they play on the world's largest and most capable aircraft carrier. CAPT A. Tully LCDR M. Finley LTJG A. Page AKC Ft.

He is responsible for the duties of approximately one hundred and fifty as- signed personnel. Our primary task is to feed the 6,000 men of Nimitz and embarked Air Wing on an around the clock basis with a smile and enthusiasm. We serve foods of both great nutri- tional value and Fast Food McNimitz style. With a for- ward and aft galley, the men of S-2 are proud to say that over 250,000 meals were prepared per month. The Food Service Division received 2700 tons of provi- sions from five unreps, during this deployment, out of which 9,940,000 rations were prepared by both Forward and Aft Galleys. ln addition, 54,150 flight meals were madeg 3500 of which were for personnel who went on tour while Nimitz was at anchor on port visits. The Bake Shop used one hundred and twenty eight tons of flour for bread and pastries. Some of the flour was utilized to bake four hundred and twenty three ceremonial reenlistment cakes. To quench the thirst of the crew, 34 tons of coffee was brewed, along with 43,200 gallons of fresh milk and 440,000 containers of UHT fUltra High Templ milk was used. The crew consumed a whopping 97,500 dozen eggs. 252 ' 'f -- l l l l LT E.rvi. Loftus Mscs FLA. scnack ivisc T.E. Arwine l l T l i l l . l MSC O.D. Castillo MSC C.A. Santiago MS1 FS.

Divided into two sections, their retail and service activities burn lots of midnight oil to strive for one thing: customer satisfaction. Their stores carry a wide variety of items, from simple necessities like toothpaste and soap in Golden Wings, to luxury items such as porcelain and stereos in Nimitz' Main MalI. Many gift items are carried at great savings. Even flower orders are taken and rushed back home to say what a letter sometimes cannot. Each week during the deployment the division pressed more than two thousand five hundred pieces of clothing and drycleaned over five hundred sixty garments. S-3 takes care of it all, besides giving many haircuts so the crew stays sharp. The men of S-3 Division contributed more than S100,000 to the welfare and recreation fund, after making almost three million dollars in sales during the 82-83 Med Cruise. LTJG J.Fl. Howard SHCS J.

The Disbursing Office is also responsible for the accu- rate and efficient processing of hundreds of travel claims that are submitted by members of the Nimitz crew and embarked Air Wing personnel during their tour aboard Nimitz. During the deployment approximately 42,000 Leave and Earnings Statements QLESI were received from Navy Fi- nance Center, Cleaveland, Ohio. They were immediately reconciled in order to have them prepared for Pay Day. This meant that each one had to be balanced, verified and checked for computer error. In addition to these functions, the Disbursing Office offers an array of services including check cashing, foreign currency exchange, allotments and individual financial planning. With the obvious impact pay has on morale, Disbursing Clerks must project the highest degree of integrity, through a broad and ever-deepening knowledge of their jobg includ- ing kind and courteous customer service to their ship- mates. The Disbursing Clerks comprising S-4 Division take great pride in being professionals. This is reflected by their sharp military appearance and their desire to do the best job possible. During the deployment, DKs stood port and starboard duty to provide twenty-four hour services to the crew. - GLB, .,- 260 af DK2 E Lakeman DK2 M. Pererman DK2 Fx. Puzar DK2 G.

S-5 Division is responsible for the feeding and berthing of the almost four hundred and sixty officers that call Nimitz their Home away from Home . The Division is comprised of a Wardroom Mess Officer who is responsible for the operation of the Wardroom Mess and administration of officer's berthing. The Divi- sion's Leading Chief Petty Officer supervises overall oper- ation and is the lmprest Fund Cashier. A food service chief prepares the menu and supervises the preparation and serving of food. There are more than twenty-five additional positions of responsibility within S-5 Division. Positions ranging from Wardroom Bookkeeper and Cashier, Galley Watch Cap- tain, Scullery man, to Duty Movie Detail are assigned. The two hundred and fifty-six separate staterooms and numerous passageways and heads make up the part of the ship that is called Officer's Country and we care for it. S-5 Division also caters special, formal dinners that the ship hosts for visiting dignitaries. S-5 has hosted many guests including the Chief of Naval Operations and visiting Heads of States. With these special dinners, S-5 rolls out the Red Car- pet and shows off the Nimitz Five Star Service that has made the Division famous fleet wide as a leader in Ward- room Service. CWO2 W.

These items range from the simplest nuts, bolts, washers, and screws to complex, so- phisticated electronic components worth several hundred thousand dollars. The task of maintaining the embarked Air Wing at maxi- mum readiness for any contingency is the responsibility of the S-6 Division. This critical function is carried out twenty- four hours a day by a dedicated team of four Officers, one Chief Petty Officer, and seventy-five Aviation Storekeepers. Throughout the deployment, Aviation Supply continued to provide first rate service to the aviation community. For the majority of the cruise, embarked squadrons had very few aircraft in non-flyable status due to non-availability of supply parts. That is an outstanding achievement consid- ering the complexity of the aircraft and the environment Nimitz' operates the aircraft in. gr' To Keep em flying and fully mission capable to meet any contingency is the goal of Aviation Supply and it's done better on Nimitz than anywhere else. vi- 1 , 1: LT C.

During a recent visit in January, Admiral Watkins, Chief of Naval Operations QCNOJ, stated that the mess decks were the best that he had seen in the fleet. S-8 is one of the few divisions on the ship working twen- ty-four hours a day, seven days a week, fifty-two weeks a year. S-8 Division controls the chow lines that serves more than four-thousand shipmates per meal, ensuring every- one has an opportunity to eat. Along with the duties of sanitation, S-8 Division is responsible for disposing the ship's refuse. ln addition to normal activities, the S-8 Cafe Royale, located in the I Shape, combines soft music, a maitre d' and candelight to enhance the dining atmosphere reminis- cent of an expensive restaurant.

Reed The Training Department, composed of a diverse group of specially trained men, are tasked with providing varied services to the Nimitz crew in an ongoing effort to improve shipboard life, and enhance individual career satisfaction. The Educational Services Office QESOQ is responsible for the management of the entire enlisted advancement pro- gram as well as maintaining records, applications, and rec- ommendations forthe Command Advancement Program, Striker Board and Officer Program Selections. The Human Resource Specialists are primarily con- cerned with the quality of shipboard and Navy life. The Command Career Counselor Team offers career related information and conducts Career Information and Benefits classes. The Substance Abuse Counselor provides drug and al- cohol counseling and education in the form of Navy Drug! Alcohol Safety Action Program iNASAP!NDSAPl classes. The NASAP and NDSAP Program has been very success- ful during this deployment. Another vital role of the Department is the coordination of formal schools required to maintain readiness and pro- fessional training for the 3,000 man crew. Each department submits monthly training accomplishments and projected schooling requirements. The Training Office compiles this information and ob- tains the necessary quotas. Closely related is the funding Of temporary duty orders to accomplish this training. The Training Department also prepares orders and maintains accurate accounting records for an annual bud- get of over S500,000.00. Q 3 A carrier without an Air Wing is just another cruise-ship with the world's largest promenade deck . An Air Wing without ordnance is just another ocean- going flying club . . . They don't really think of either a carrier or an Air Wing in those terms, but the Weapons Department team can make a significant difference in how well the ship does its job . . . and the Weapons Department personnel have made a ma- jority of the difference. There are several different aspects to the jobs of the Weapons Department personnel, including initiating hook- ups with other ships for underway replenishments, ensur- ing the physical security of the ship, providing anti-aircraft defense of the ship, and providing Honors and Ceremonies for visiting dignitaries. The Department's most important function, however,is to provide full support to the nine embarked squadrons of Carrier Air Wing EIGHT with all the bombs, bullets and missiles they need to complete their assigned missions. Their goal is never a lost mission due to a lack of weap- ons , and they met that goal during the 82-83 Mediterra- 74 nean Cruise. lfulfilling their goal frequently required me- ticulous planning and dedicated efforts by many personnel because it was a much more complex job than met the eye. Weapons Department is responsible for ordering the right amounts of the right kinds of ammunition, for getting it safely aboard and stored in the magazines, for later uncrating it and assembling it in various configurations with a variety of fuses and tail-fins, and for transferring it up to the flight deck for issue to the Air Wing . . . on time. The Weapons underway replenishmentloff-load in May was an outstanding success. lt took a tremendous amount of prior planning, precise coordination, and many IOUQ hours of work for the majority of the Weapons Department personnel. Careful assembly work, a lot of determined and careful transporting, safe thinking and most importantly the caution all personnel displayed during the transporting of the sensitive weapons ensured a highly successful and a hazard free event. The men of Weapons Department had a great cruise. They accomplished a great deal of successful ordnance movement that they can be proud of for quite a long time. y.w,:3'-: '--' :st-3t T .-'. - N LCDR T. Schlabaugh AOCS J.M. Isaacs AN L.Fl.

The hangar bay crew is tasked with the safe and efficient transfer of bombs, missiles and ordnance accessories. Their responsibilities span from the time when the ord- nance reaches the hangar bay until it is received by the flight deck crew, or returned to G-2 and the magazines. To successfully carry out this task, the hangar deck crew must maintain twenty nine electric forklifts and several hundred weapons skids. Periodically, the hangar deck crew is tasked with sup- port of major underway replenishment operations. They operate forklifts which transport the many types of supply materials and weapons which the ship receives. Also, in support of the Air Wing's air-to-air missile readiness, G-1 operates and maintains a nitrogen purifying unit. The flight deck crew is responsible for the safe move- ment, issue and receipt of ordnance items. They also re- main constantly aware of which aircraft are loaded and the quantity and types of ordnance they are carrying. Flight deck ordnance safety and coordination are closely monitored by the watchful eyes of the flight deck Ord- nancemen, and by the, if you will , Air Gunner. CWO3 E. Scott AOC R. Kimbrell AOC R.J.

With ten elevators to ser- vice the weapons magazines, they are the only means to transport the ammunition up from the magazines to the hangar deck or if necessary, to the flight deck. The weapons elevators are also used during medical emergencies and casualty incidents. They are used so in- jured can be transported quickly and safely down below decks to medical. The weapons elevators are made up of a complex sys- tem of mechanical, hydraulic and electrical components. Although the maintenance and up-keep can be a dirty job taking twenty four hours a day, the personnel in G-3 Divi- sion take great pride in keeping the elevators continually operational. Maintenance on the elevators consists of the Planned Maintenance System, electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic system repairs. These repairs are accomplished by per- sonnel in the Aviation Ordnance Mate, Gunner's Mate, Electrician's Mate, and Machinist's Mate ratings within G-3 Division. Everyone in G-3 Division agrees that the source of their high morale comes from the satisfaction of doing a hard, dirty job extremely well. AOAA K.Fi. Lotter FA FLA. Olverson AOAA D-E Stout AA C.B.

Composed of one Chief War- rent Officer, two First Class Petty Officers and one Second Class Petty Officer, the EOD Team continually provides their expertise and knowledge to all departments and squadrons assigned to Nimitz. On the flight deck they stand vigilant and ready to re- spond to ordnance related problems. During aircraft recov- ery they can be seen in the vicinity of the de-arming area helping the Weapons and Carrier Air Wing EIGHTY QCVW-87 de-arming crews. Inport they provide diving services to the Security Offi- cer. They inspect and search the hull and anchor chain for damage and possible planted munitions. Their services are also provided to Deck Department and the Nimitz crew by clearing fouled screws and intakes on liberty boats. This ensures a smooth and continuous shuttle of personnel to and from the boat landings. As part of the Weapons Department, they provide train- ing to the ship's company in 3M, radiation control and security. Their expertise extends into the area of Damage Control and training decontamination station and repair-locker personnel. Through the many diversified areas in which the EOD team becomes involved, they must be ever watchful not to lose sight of their primary mission - the identification, rendering safe, recovery or disposal of ordnance items lforeign and domesticl which have been subjected to envi- ronments other than those in which they were designed to operate. Whether on land, underwater, on the deck of a ship or in a magazine they stand ready to serve those who help preserve freedom.

Anderson MARDET A Ship without Marines is like a coat without buttons . . . David G. Farragut The origin of Marines as seagoing soldiers is lost in antiquity, however, the modern genesis of the United States Marine Corps can be traced to the Marines of the Royal Navy. The Continental Congress established the United States Marine Corps on 10 November 1775. The Marines' primary mission in ship-to-ship combat was to pick-off officers and gun crews with musket fire, to repel boarders, and to serve as replacements on gun crews and to be a part of ships' landing parties for oper- ations ashore. Today, the Marine Corps' primary mission is the seizure or defense of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such land operation as may be essential to the prosecution of a naval campaign. This mission is accomplished through the Fleet Marine Force. However, small units of Marines can still be found serv- ing aboard capital Navy vessels in the traditional role of Soldiers of the Sea. Marine Detachments afloat, such as the one assigned to Nimitz, are part of the ship's company. Their mission is to provide a limited landing party, to pro- vide for ship's internal security, and to provide for honors and ceremonies. Relying on unvarying discipline and hold- ing to the heritage of the Corps, each Marine is proud to be serving as a seagoing Marine. intensely proud of their ship, their Corps, their country and themselves, the Marine Detachment is always ready to respond.

In October 1962, when President Kennedy placed a quarantine on Cuba, the Sea Griffins were on the front line aboard USS Essex flying numerous surface ships surveil- ance sorties and antisubmarine warfare missions. In 1967, Sea Griffin helicopters participated in the medi- iial evacuation of 'wounded personnel from the USS Liber- ghgyshich was mistakenly attacked during the Mid-East Eglple Sea Griffins were assigned to Carrier Air Wing A , T. lCvw-ay aboard uss Nimitz QCVN-681 providing ntisubmarine Warfare protection, Search and Rescue, and logistics support for the Nimitz Battle Group. thOn November 20, 1982, a Sea Griffin helicopter provided e ph0t09l'8phy and surveillance which enabled the first zuccessful seizure of a drug smuggling boat by a U.S. thavy warship. The surveillance provided by HS-9, allowed Ge seizure-of 20 tons of marijuana by the Special Coast uard Tactical Law Enforcement Team and the USS Mis- sissippi QCGN-401 in international waters off the coast of Columbia. During Christmas 1982, HS-9 transported Santa Claus, and special Sea Griffin stockings and goodies from the Nimitz to make Christmas 1982 a very special day for the 1200 U. S. Marines stationed in Beirut, Lebanon. During January 1983, HS-9 demonstrated superior Anti- submarine Warfare expertise by breaking its own record, set last cruise for having the most submarine contact time by an HS squadron during a Mediterranean deployment. This record was broken prior to mid-cruise with the squad- ron still going strong. Two HS-9 helicopters, Jaguar 611 and 612 reached A Year in the Air on January 21, 1983, making them the only CVW-8 aircraft currently in use to have achieved this mark. Both veteran aircraft were put in service in 1961 and are older than most of the men who work on them. The five other Sea Kings onboard continue to serve- the first to take off, the last to land. Every aviator knows to fly is heavenly , but every Sea Griffin knows to hover, is divine . CDR M. O'Hearn CDR W. McCamy CDR J. TOODG LCDR P. Warr LCDR L. Zimmer LT D. Albrecht LT K. Reynolds LT J.W.

' Air Antisubmarine Squadron TWENTY-FOUR exists solely to ensure the accomplishment of the Navy's primary mission. I 4 ' Potential enemies of the United States have built and are maintaining enormous undersea forces which necessarily make antisubmarine warfare one of the most urgent tasks. This squadron, along withroth-er antisubmarine forces, constitutes a strong deterrent to the enemy's use of his submarines. Air Antisubmarine Operations have advanced from the original methods involving visual sighting and depth bombing to present day techniques which employ a complexity of electronic equipment and advanced under- water ordnance devices. Air Antisubmarine Operations have risen from a position of relative insignificance to one ofthe most important func- tions of Naval Aviation. Working as a team with other ASW forces, the Scouts, utilizing the carrier-based Lockheed-built S-3A Viking air- craft, continues to train to successfully carry out its mis- sion of destroying the submarine or countering its useful- ness through hold-down procedures. The S-3A, the-newest addition to the Navy's air ASW arm, is capable of detecting and destroying submarines day or night, under all weather conditions, by employment of conventional or nuclear weapons. The Squadron was initially commissioned on 1 'January 1943 at United States Naval Air Station, Norfolk, Virginia, as VB-17. The Squadron embarked aboard USS Bunker Hill and saw action during World War ll - participating- in strikes against Flabaul, Gilbert Islands, and Truk: finishing its first combat tour in 1944 to train and prepare for a second combat tour aboard USS Hornet. This tour includ- ed strikes against Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and participation in the Battle of the East China Sea. I Upon return ofthe Squadron to the United States, VB-- 17 was awarded the Presidential Unit Citation. The post- war period was one of the great changes for VB-17. ' During thisperiod the Squadron was embarked aboard the USS Wrightand USS Midway with TBM-2 and TBM-3 aircraft. A Aboard the USS Wright the evolution of the. Duty Cat- began.

Two years later Attack Squadron EIGHTY SIX, QVA-iii, was flying the F7U Cutlass , otherwise known' as t e Ensi n Eater . ln 1957 the squadron received it's first Q A4D Skyhawk which it flew for the next ten years. On June 1, 1967, VA-86 became the first fleet operation- al squadron of A7A's in the Navy. ln it's history, VA-86 has deployed aboard eleven differ- ent aircraft carriers to the Mediterranean and Caribbean Seas, the North Atlantic, Western Pacific, and indian Oceans. ln October 1962, VA-86 was aboard the USS Lexington participating in the Cuban Blockade. ln May 1965, the squadron deployed aboard USS Independence for its first of four combat cruises to Southeast Asia. The Sidewind- ers were aboard USS America in the Tonkin Gulf when the Paris Peace Accords were signed and our POW's released. The VA-86 Sidewinders currently fly the A-7E Corsiar ll for the USS Nimitz and CVW-8 team. This sophisticated single-engine, single seat light attack bomber is flown and maintained by twenty officers and 270 enlisted personnel. Their mission is to conduct air-to-surface attack oper- ations with the full spectrum of air delivered U.S. Navy weapons. The Sidewinders of VA-86 do it better than anyone else, as is evident by their being awarded the Com- gngasnzder, Naval Air Force, U.S. Atlantic Fleet Battle E for As a part of the Nimitz Team, the Sidewinders of VA-86 stand ready to defend America's interests, anytime-any- where. knou 5 M f 'uv 1-,ox-, X , 1 , .N..

In the thirty seven years since the squadron was com- missioned, it has participated in numerous deployments aboard the USS Franklin D. Floosevelt, the USS Midway, USS Independence and the USS Nimitz. The pilots of Fighter Squadron FORTY-ONE have flown many of the Navy's famous figher aircraft, including the F-4U Corsair, the F-2H Banshee, the F-3H Demon and the F-4 Phantom. Today the Black Aces of Fighter Squadron FORTY-ONE fly the F-14 Tomcat, the Navy's newest air superiority fighter. The squadron was the first F-14 squadron to carrier qualify, on the USS Nimitz in July 1977. It has continued to be embarked during-Nimitz' deployments since that time. In February 1982, the Black Aces returned from one of the Nimitz' most successful cruises, capping a highly pro- ductive year. For their efforts, which included unprecedent- ed flight hour statistics and the defeat of two Libyan fight- ers ,in August 1981, Fighter Squadron FORTY-ONE re- ceived the Battle Efficiency Award, E for best Atlantic Fleet Fighter Squadron, the Safety S Award and the Admiral' Joseph C. Clifton Trophy for the best Fighter Squadron in the U.S. Navy. Shortly after this deployment, the Black Aces and CVW- 8, lCarrier Air Wing ElGHTl embarked in USS Carl Vinson QCVN-701 for shakedown training. This was followed by an embarkation in Nimitz for work-ups for the 1982-1983 de- ployment. The Mediterranean deployment started in November, 1982, with a brief swing through the Caribbean. Acttvities included participation in airpower demonstrations for the Republics of Honduras, Colombia and Venezuela. ln December 1982, the ship entered the Mediterranean and proceeded directly to its area of operations off the coast of Beirut, Lebanon. This area proved to be the focal point of our deployment. r The Black Aces of Fighting FORTY-ONE are proud of their heritage and proud to be working together as part of the Nimitz Team to maintain a long and distinguished re- cord of service in defending the freedom of our families, our neighbors and the entire United States of America.

Wright 40 SA T URD 406 YNIGHT FE VER . . 1 1- Ill!! 1 E On Friday, 6 May 1983, approximately one hundred six- ty-five ladies from cities along the French Riviera attended an informal dance onboard in Hangar Bay Two. Personal invitations and news releases had been coordinated by USO representatives prior to Nimitz arrival at Monaco. The ship anchored one mile out of the harbor which made transportation and logistics easier. The resulting ten minute boat ride brought the ladies safely to the Nimitz quarterdeck. More than 1000 Nimitz single enlisted men volunteered to escort the ladies during their brief visit. Two hundred of these men were selected. The ladies were greeted by Nim- itz' sailors as they passed across Nimitz' ceremonial quar- terdeck. -Nimitz' fifteen member band, Ship's Company provided to t . ,411 3 hours of live music entertainment. A selection of country western, rock and roll, easy listening and progressive mu- sic was provided. Between the band's sets, the ladies danced with Nimitz sailors to disco cassette tapes played by the Ship's Company disc jockey. Supply Department's mess specialists provided excel- lent hors d'oeuvres, cakes and punch and the photo lab provided photographic coverage. Preparations for the display of static aircraft, security, seating, PA system and access to Nimitz were a tremen- dous responsibility shared by all departments. Many pen pals were made and addresses exchanged for future cor- respondence during this highly successful international social event. I I l I 407 flew-dk --QQ... L 1 Lf? 'X ,X SRX - WK9' 4. .

Ages ranged from three years and up. The Tigers were flown by special charter from Nor- folk to Bermuda. Upon arriving at Bermuda, they were then transported by ship's boats to Nimitz. The Tigers were soon joined by the crew and squadron sponsors to become familiar with life at sea on board the world's largest nuclear powered aircraft carrier. Sea life for the Tiger adventurers was filled with tours of the ship and dining in the ships mess decks and ward rooms. Many were able to observe flight operations while others viewed movies. Some how- ever, seemed to enjoy the simple view of the sunset at sea while steaming in the Atlantic on the return home to Norfolk.
