The young king, who was assassinated in Iraq's bloody coup d'etat in 1959, spent a day at sea on the ship studying with interest both day and night air operations. On September 15, 1952, ORISKANY headed west with the pilots of Carrier Air Group 12 embarked. After two weeks of combat readiness training off Hawaii, the ship set a course for Korean waters. Operating as a unit of the United Nations Task Force 77 off the eastern coast of Korea, ORISKANY participated in the blockade of the North Korean coast, and her planes systematically pounded enemy supply build-ups and wiped out many manufacturing and railroad centers. In addition, her pilots gave close air support to United Nations ground forces, strafing Communist troops and harassing their lines of supply. Under CAPT SHANDS the ship launched 7,001 sorties during 111 flyable days in the forward area. Of these, 5,040 were offensive combat missions over the heart of enemy-held territory. The statistics suggest the scope of ORISKANY's contribution- her planes dropped 4,600 tons of bombs and expended over a million rounds of ammuni- tion. On November 17, 1952, an alert radar operator in the ships combat information center detected bogies', or un- identified aircraft. While four Panther jets flew to the area to investigate, one of them developed engine trouble and had to lose altitude. His wingman followed him down, as is customary. At a distance of about 40 miles from the task force the bogies were confirmed as MIG 15 jet aircraft. Immediately, four of the MIGS began a firing attack on the remaining Panthers, which were flown by LT Royce WILLIAMS and LTJG David ROWLANDS, They foiled the attack by pulling sharply left, and a tail chasing, tight- turning dog fight ensued. LT WILLIAMS shot down the first MIG. Soon after LT ELWOOD in the crippled Pan- ther detached his wingman, LTJG John MIDDLETON, to join the melee. LT, WILLIAMS' Panther suffered a damaged aileron from a MIG shell, and having limited control, he was forced to head for cover in a distant cloud bank. He was pursued by one MIG which was in turn pursued by LTJG ROWLANDS, who was out of ammunition but bluffing. As LTJG MIDDLETON came upon the aerial parade he got the MIG in his sights, opened fire and enfiamed it. The pilot bailed out and LTJG MIDDLETON orbited him while radioing the task group for his rescue. The remain- ing enemy planes broke off and fled. This action was be- lieved to be the first multi-jet aerial dog-fight in Naval history. A month later these pilots briefed President-elect Eisenhower, on the MIG 15's capabilities, during his Korean tour. On March 6, 1955, an ORISKANY Corsair was return- ing from a strike mission over the supply center of Sang- tong-ni. As the plane landed a bomb dislodged from the wing, bounced twice across the flight deck and exploded. Two men were killed, fifteen wounded. One of the dead was Photographer Thomas L. McGraw, jr., whose job was to photograph unusual landing incidents. As the bomb dislodged, McGraw bravely started his camera. The sal- vaged film revealed he held the camera while it recorded the bombis path and even the explosion in which he died. Following the explosion, Airman Richard Donovan plunged through flames and exploding ammunition to rescue the injured and unconscious pilot. The gravest danger to the ship came when the hangar deck was flooded with gasoline from pierced aircraft tanks. Firefighting teams brought the blazes under control and isolated the hangar bay. With re- pair parties working throughout the night the ship was able to resume combat operations the next morning. That same March former Governor Adlai Stevenson and Lieutenant General Matthew RIDGWAY came aboard the carrier for Navy briefings and reconnaissance flights. During the cruise the old expression give 'em every- thing but the kitchen sink was getting on some of the pilot's nerves. So one morning a Douglas bomber took off with a zink tub strapped to its belly. The deadly sink was dropped with a splat into an enemy position at the front, and thus ORISKANY insured that we had given them ueverythingf' On the last day in the combat area, four ORISKANY Panthers conducted a strike against the famous Hamhung Highway bridge. In spite of its invulnerability and heavy anti-aircraft defenses, the pilots scored six direct hits out of a possible eight, demolishing the center span of the huge bridge and heavily damaging its approaches. The pilots had been allowed to choose their own targets, and on that same day Heartbreak Ridge and other hated targets were struck, with great satisfaction to the allies. On the same day eight Panthers from Fighter Squadron 121 raided a 177 building storage area near Pikchong. They started a dozen fires strategically placed so that high winds fanned and spread them. It was estimated that 50070 or roughly 90 buildings were destroyed. During the night ORISKANY's heckler Corsairs and Skyraiders effectively intercepted major Communist convoys. Close to 900 trucks were either destroyed or damaged. Although the men of ORISKANY had their hands full with the business of war, they found time and money for charity. The ship raised a total of 316,000 for charitable organizations while in the combat zone. The baby birds final pre-Bight DRO SHOOT Hf, .,, Wctz Start the props ! Blast uff!

When she would encounter a hatch 'comb- ing too high for her sausage frame, sheld merely look cute and wait for a passing sailor to lift her over. During the Korean War Schatzie had aroused quite a few rumors when it was noticed that she was expecting. Grave suspicions among the crew ended only when it was learned that, the Chaplain had Schatzie mated before the cruise. With her superb sense of timing she delivered a litter of four puppies in the midst of intense combat opera- tions. Eyes were on radar screens and instrument panels, but hearts were with Schatzie that day. The four pups were given the names Ike, Marilyn, Annie and Debbie. They were raffled off to the members of the crew. With increasing nonchalance Schatzie brought forth two more litters. Through puppy raffles she raised over 322,000 for charities, a generosity to which few mothers aspire. At the farewell ceremonies Captain Simpler lauded her gentle-heartedness, perseverance, uncommon sacrifices and exemplary conduct. He noted that she had always re- turned to the ship on time, traversing the gangway under her own power and in a seamanlike maner. Having served her country well, the proud dachshund left for dry ground and green pastures. ORISKANY completed her yard overhaul in February 1955. The ship made a third cruise to the Western Pacific from March through September. Although a less eventful cruise, it was a more enjoyable one, for the ship visited widely throughout the Far East, including Hong Kong and Manila, as well as Japan and Okinawa. And it was a reward- ing cruise, for ORISKANY won the Big E that year- the Naval Air Force's QPacific Fleetj Battle Efficiency Award. In October of 1956 ORISKANY entered San Francisco Naval Shipyard to begin an extensive angled deck conver- sion and modernization. She was decommissioned on janu- ary 2, 1957. During the next two years the workmen of San Francisco Naval Shipyard made a new ship of ORIS- KANY. The most striking change was her new silhouette: the angled flight deck for safer landings, and the stream- lined hurricane resistant bow. The old hydraulic catapults were replaced by steam driven ones capable of launching much heavier aircraft. The cramped combat information cen- ter was relocated in a safer area of the ship and enlarged into an electronic suite. Writing tables were placed in the crew's berthing compartments and the decks in the mess- ing, living and office spaces were tiled. ORISKANY is the last of the Essex Class carriers to be modernized. On March 7, 1959, ORISKANY was recom- missioned in a ceremony held on the ships hangar deck. Vice Admiral Alfred M. PRIDE delivered the principal address. CAPT james Mahan WRIGHT, who served aboard ORISKANY as Executive Officer in 1951-1952, assumed command upon recommissioning. CDR Vincent A. DAHL- STROM became the shipis Executive Officer. After commissioning the ship underwent extensive build- ers trials and bureau tests. She reported to her new home- port of San Diego on june 11, 1959, and immediately started underway shakedown training. At the start of Fiscal Year 1960, ORISKANY was just three months out of San Francisco Naval Shipyard. The first air operations since her recommissioning were con- ducted in August, with the skipper himself, CAPT james Mahan WRIGHT, flying the first aircraft launched and recovered. In September of that year, Vice Admiral Alfred M. PRIDE retired as Commander, Naval Air Force, Pacific Fleet, in a ceremony on ORISKANY's flight deck. His suc- cessor was Vice Admiral C. E. EKSTROM. Upon completion of the shakedown period the carrier passed her first post-conversion administrative inspection with flying colors, receiving an excellent and praise from the inspectors for having started from scratch only eight months earlier.

On October 20, 1962 eighty members of the Defense Orientation Conference Association QDOCAQ, made up of Business and Industrial Leaders of the United States, visited ORISKANY for a day at sea off Manila, P.I. The world famous Bayanihan Dance Group performed traditional dances of the Philippines aboard ORISKANY anchored in Manila Bay, on November 24, 1962. This was the first time they ever performed on any U.S. Navy Ship. On December 17, 1962 ORISKANY returned to her homeport of San Diego, California, and commenced a leave and upkeep period and on january 5, 1963 CDR O. L. DAUPHIN relieved CAPT C. S. BROOKS as Executive Ofiicer. Two ORISKANY sailors, L. Lotz, SN, and H. Linn, FN, rescued two Coronado, California sisters, Andrea and Diane Laird, from the waters of San Diego harbor when the two girls capsized the small kayak in which they were riding on March 2, 1963. Lotz and Linn received letters of commendation from Vice Admiral Paul D. STROOP, Commandar Naval Air Force, Pacific Fleet, for the rescue March Sth. On March 29th CAPT Herman TRUM relieved CAPT IARRABINO as Commanding Officer of ORIS- KANY. ORISKANY became the subject of a television docu- mentary April 9 when television reporterfphotographers from KCRA TV, Sacramento, California flew aboard to film life on an attack carrier. On April 30, 1963 ORISKANY was named by Vice Admiral Paul D. STROOP, Commander Naval Air Force, Pacific Fleet, as having the best general mess under his command. PLAT fPilotfLanding Aid Television, System was added to ORISKANY May 7, 1963. PLAT essentially con- sists of three cameras, two center line cameras imbedded in the flight deck, one aft and one forward, with a third manned by a technician located six decks above the flight deck. May 13, 1963 brought a new type of aircraft to ORIS- KANY when two UH-2A fSea Sprite, jet powered rescue helicopters set down on the flight deck, replacing the HUP-2's previously used for angel duty at sea during flight operations. ORISKANY participated in an operational readiness demonstration for President john F. Kennedy off the coast of Southern California on june 6, 1963. The President visited the ship at sea, received honors in flight deck cere- monies and viewed a demonstration of the Naval Tactical Data System. After departing ORISKANY, President Ken- nedy flew to USS KITTY HAWK QCVA-63, to spend the night. Among other ships participating in the demonstra- tion were the NTDS equipped USS KING QDLG-105 and USS MAHAN QDLG-11j. June 22, 1963 ORISKANY was named by the Naval Subsistence Office as runner up', in the Fleet wide Ney Award competition. This was the first time a carrier had ever gone that far in the competition. CDR Jonathan CROWDER relieved CDR O. L. DAUPHIN as Executive Officer on June 17, 1963. From July 15th through the 20th ORISKANY was the key unit in the U.S. First Fleet Exercise GOLF BALL off the California coast. Exercise GOLF BALL was a major fleet strike and anti-aircraft warfare exercise which in- volved 15 ships. Also in july, Admiral George W. ANDERSON, Jr., Chief of Naval Operations, announced on the 19th that ORISKANY had won the Admiral Flately Award for aviation safety in the attack carrier class for fiscal year 1963. August 1, 1963 ORISIQKNY, now flagship for Rear Admiral Frederick L.

On these pages you will see the myraid of tasks performed by the flight deck crew. Their efforts are the obvious part of launching and recovering aircraft. More subtle, but just as necessary are the efforts of all the rest of the crew-the tailors, the cooks, the engineers, the electricians, the technicians and all the rest. To all those who have given so much to make ORISKANY all that she is we give our hearty Well Done! Wetz A hn.

The flight deck swarms with personnel dragging out the barricade, and in a matter of a hundred or so seconds they clear the flight deck and the barricade has been rigged. Into this barricade the pilot flies a normal carrier pass. As he rolls up the deck into the webbing it comes loose from the stantions and pulls out the cables attaching it to its ar. resting gear engine. The arresting gear engine p21yS OUT the cable, and the aircraft is brought gently to a stop. This sequence of pictures shows a letter perfect engage' f ictioning Of EQUIP' ment and a perfect approach and landing by the pilot. T129 . . . X 1 IC Int-nt.

You get dog tired and sleep becomes more and more important. Finally, you reach the point where you would rather sleep than eat or anything else. Suddenly, the nearest place, where you wouldn't even think of sleeping if you weren't so dog tired, becomes your bed.

Through these in- spections, ORISKANY is continually checked to see that she is kept in the best possible state of cleanliness and material preservation. The zone inspection really begins long be- fore the inspecting party arrives at the space. Us- ually about a week ahead of time the word is put out in the Plan of the Day that there will be an inspection. The time and the day are specified and the crew goes to work. Bulkheads are scrubbed and the paint touched up. Anything that is broken is fixed and the com- partment is made shipshape. Finally the moment arrives and the inspecting party is on hand. The space is presented, and the inspecting officer checks everything. You have done all that anyone could, and you get the grade you deserve-OUTSTANDING!

The softball team was unbeaten in winning the ORISKANY softball tournament trophy. The band has been a genuine good will am- bassador throughout the tour. In each port they have given concerts. At sea they entertain during underway replenishments, in the wardroom on special occasions, and while entering Port. The cruise has not been all work and no play. A beach party was held in Subic Bay and hot dogs beans, potato salad, and refreshments were en- joyed by all. In Sasebo, the Staff and Flag Allow- ance had a grand party which helped bring in the New Year. As the cruise draws to an end, we know that we shall soon leave ORISKANY and the many friends we have made here and board another of the carriers which even now is in its training cycle. 7 in 254 CAR DIV O E Commander Carrier Division ONE, RADM F. L. ASHWORTH is the Administrative Com- mander of Carrier Division ONE and during this deployment has been Commander Task Group 77.5. In this capacity he has been responsible, as part of Task Force 77 and the SEVENTH Fleet for a large portion of the Navy's commitments in the Pacific. His staff, headed first by CAPT FAIRFAX and later by CAPT SWANSON, is composed of 19 officers and 58 enlisted men. The enlisted rates are varied and consist of Radiomen, Yeomen, Stewards, Boatswains Mate, Quartermasters, Sig- nalmen, Draftsmen, Photo Interpreters, Musicians, and Marines. The assistance provided by the staff helps the Commander carry out his administrative and operational responsibilities.

Golf, otherwise known as those PFSSSSP from the helo crew have the 'angel' duty primarily, standing by to pick up downed airmen or other sleepy individuals who may 'fall' over the side. In addition to this we deliver personnel and mail ffor which welre dearly lovedj to and from other ships in company, to say nothing of the fact that the harbor pilots find our bird a very nice ride. Our aircraft, the new HZA, has scored a few firsts for the Big '0'. The first to deploy to VUE-STPAC, the first night helo plane guard, and the first HZA rescue during operational deployment. The plane handlers of ORISKANY quickly adapted to the new, larger angel for which our maintenance people are very grate- ful. Those sixteen redeyed individuals who comprise the enlisted portion of the crew, fly in the birds by day and maintain them at night, and have coined the phrase you can hear during holiday routine? ??? holiday for the ship, routine for the helo's. Together with six officers headed by LCDR CROW, the helo crew has been dubbed the expiditers in honor of the Air Boss, and these expiditers may be seen running up and down the flight deck to recover their bird. We get our phy- sical fitness training in every day. Piloted by six stalwarts of the blue ranging from LCDR to ENS, our birds are very sophisticated, and the men who maintain them are a highly trained group of specialists ranging in rate from CPO to Airman. OUR safety record is 4.0 and we've managed to maintain an availibility of well over 90070, a record envied by all, even other HU-1 Dets. The cruise, for the helo crew, was highlighted in October by the difficult recovery of one of the 'Hunters' of VF162 who was well wrapped in his Chute after ejecting from his aircraft, a picture of 'angel in action.' 252 r ,i DET.

The Detachment's parent squadron is based at NAS Wfhidbey Island, Wash- ington, the home of all west coast heavy attack squadrons. 'lHeavy Four is the only squadron which deploys in 3-plane detachments, all of which are assigned to air wings aboard the 27C class carriers. Det Golf consists of 4 fiight crews, an air intelligence ofiicer, and 71 main- tenance and administrative personnel. The make-up of an A313 flight crew includes a pilot, a bombardierfnavigator, and an enlisted crewmanffnavigator. Each crew, having flown together for many months, is fully qualified to execute its mission, in fair weather or foul, flying at speeds in excess of 500 miles per hour. During this cruise, two officers will have headed the Detachment. CDR. Stephen OLIVER was Officer-in-Charge from the Det's formation until 14 Novem- ber 1963. On that date, CDR. Donald HOUCK became the new O-in-C and CDR. OLIVER returned to Whidbey' to take over as Hatron Four Executive Officer. 240 i 3 :qt v 1 9 . i SIGHTSEEING-Our time in the ports of Bepu and Iwakuni was short, and sight- seeing was the order of the day, and most of it by bus with some of the most charm- ing hostz1e. 1 'I ., -e li 'WF L ' XXV, Vifetz Q, :W -, gr AW,, Y' X4 ' Q ,, 'wi if A T WORK sf' , I - 5 A a sa a at i t , ' it 6' - itis f t f f X , ' ., . i X Xf'N NN - A M 5' 2 V s 1 ,1V, Wetz Cleanin the Fudd's secondat means of Bo e detection is C.

The Willie Fudd has a crew of two pilots, an air controller, and technicianfoperator. The tasks of the Fudd are many and varied. Most important is providing the Task Force with early warning and interceptor control against low- flying aircraft. This airborne CIC can transmit its radar video to surface units operating in condi- tions of radar silence. By relaying radio transmis- sions from distant units, the Fudd makes radio communications possible over a much greater dis- tance. The Fudd also assists the shipis CCA team during recoveries when the ship is operating in conditions of electronic silence. The three E-1B's from VAW-11 at the Naval Air Station, North Island perform these missions through a dedicated team of twelve officers and 37 skilled enlisted men. . . . and they take ours.

Werz VA-163 On the first day of September 1960, the SAINTS were commissioned at the d fLCDR Naval Air Station, Cecil ,Field at Jacksonville, Florida under the comman o J. M.

U June 1961 twelve aircraft had been delivered to the squadronq By this time twelve pilots had reported for duty along with a nucleus of enlisted personnel. The mission of the squadron is the delivery of ordnance which includes bombs, . . . th rockets, guns and missiles. To prepare themselves to carry out this mission, e pilots undergo a long, strenuous training cycle, followed by competitive exercises QCOMPEXQ. The first COMPEX was held in May 1961 with all pilots qualifying and a large number earning fs. for excellence... r . I . During the celebration of Naval Air's 50th Anniversary, the SAINTS were the only fleet aircraft squadron to participate in the Fire Power Demonstration at Pensacola, Florida. Although--the-squadron was young, its performance was superb. On 19 September 1961, CDR MANHERZ was relieved -as Commanding Officer by CDR D. V. MARSHALL jr. One of CDR MARSHALL's first official functions was to lead the SAINTS across the United States to their newly assigned , home, the Naval Air Station, Lemoore, California.

' 9 From April through july the squadron was engaged in various short training cruises once again aboard the Big s O . One inport period was utilized in preparing for and executing theiiPresidential-Fire Power Demoristrationefor President Ken- nedy at the Naval Air Facility, China Lake, California.

ORTON THE HUNTERSH, of VF-162 are ORISKANY'S Day Fighter Interceptor Squadron. Their mission is to gain and maintain air superiority and defend friendly forces from air attack. The squadron's insignia is an adaptation ofthe constellation Orion, who according to Greek mythology, was the greatest of all huntersg hence the squadron's nickname - THE HUNTERSH. ONE SIXTY TWO is the Navy's youngest Operational Fight- er Squadron, having been commissioned on 1 September 1960 just a few minutes after its sister squadron VF-161. The squadron made its first cruise to the Mediterranean aboard the USS INTREPID. Flying the Douglas F4D, VF-162 served as the all weather squadron of Air Group Six. Today VF-162 flies the FSA CRUSADER . Armed with four 20mm cannons and two infrared homing sidewinder missiles, the FSA provides a formidable defense weapons system for ORI- SKANY. The Head Hunter position was filled by CDR F. M. NEV- ITT, jr. from the beginning of the cruise until 29 October when CDR R. D. ORTON took command during the in port period in Iwakuni. 208 ,.,-.F , -'W Ah:-m x F ,Q M item I I ,Q I W K l 'X . , . , i A N- we ' , ., it . N s 12.39 'Z , t I ' ' . ' ff! W l ' , - v . .X X X, lx.

All of these activities are in addition to the normal daily routine of observing the weath- er and sending the information around the ship to those with a need to know. Aerographers must be able to commit some forty-odd forms to memory as well as sixty to seventy code tables and be able to encode or decode weather data at a glance. They must be adroit pencil pushers to plot and analyze charts. A vast knowledge of geogra- phy, topography, and oceanography must also be among his store of knowledge. Al- though the AG rating is primarily a clerical and administrative rating, aerographers must be handy with machinery and electronic equipment as well. Radio teletype and radio facsimile equipment is used as a primary Source of his raw material. The radiosonde Operator must be especially able to apply good old American know-how to his daily work. Many of the advances in forecasting .T 5 technique in the past ten years have been a direct result of aerographers applying their ingenuity in the field of upper air to obtain weather data from higher and higher alti- tudes. The initiative of the OA Division has led to two of their eleven rated men being selected as UORISKANY man of the month. 0 'xolf f I 'bl , A 'i rg' J li .,:. my V- A- X , V 'V Q.

BALDWIN The CAG THE HISTORY First formed in November 1942, Carrier 'Air Group SIXTEEN distinguished itself throughout the Pacific war. As the fighting arm of the USS LEXINGTON, the Air Group participated in such famous battles as Tarawa, Wake Island, the Gilberts, Hollandia, and the Marianas Turkeyshootf' Disbanded in July 1944 for rehabilitation and reassignment, the unit reformed a month later and soon became a part of Task Force 38 aboard the USS RANDOLPH. Throughout July and August 1945, the Group made repeated attacks against the japanese mainland, beating back fierce last-ditch opposition. The Air Group was returned to the East Coast aboard RANDOLPH in October of 1945 and soon thereafter decommissioned. For fifteen years Air Group SIXTEEN lived only in the memories of those who servediin its squadrons and in the records of its accomplishments. On 1 Sep- tember 1960, however, the fighting name of Carrier Air Group SIXTEEN again resounded in the halls of Naval Aviation when the Group was recommissioned at Naval Air Station, Cecil Field, Florida. Composed of five squadrons-VF-161, VF- 162, VA-163, VA-164, and VA-165-SIXTEEN moved to the West Coast in September 1961 and became the Pacific Fleet's newest Air Group. Under the com- mand of Commander Robert B. BALDWIN, and recently redesignated as an Air Wing, Attack Carrier Air Wing SIXTEEN is presently homebased at NAS Mira- mar, NAS Lemoore, and NAS Moffett fields. Now on its second cruise to the western Pacific, it is proud to be a member of the fighting team of ORISKANY. 198 nl---' ,il X ,YI Q 1 w x P, X ,Mg 'fl X 0 f 1 f ' , wif' s gy IX 4 ,JUN- Front row: THOMPSON, LCDR WETZ, CDR DAVENPORT, FREEMAN, GARLAND.

I J 1, Af, ' , 1 '49, 5 'wx s The flight-deck is divided into three distinct arenas for operational control, and the flight-deck chief is the ring- master. The forward arena is called Fly-One. The group here has the task of spotting or moving incoming planes forward during aircraft recovery. After recovery the planes must be pulled back and spotted for the next launch. This movement must be coordinated with the movement of planes being brought up or taken down on the Number One aircraft elevator. During the launch, Fly-One person- nel spot the aircraft on the catapult. This must be done with great skill, and requires special training and much practice. Fly-Two personnel, in the center arena, park, secure, start, break-out, and send forward planes to be launched. They also signal to the pilots, after landing, to raise the tail-hook, fold the wings, and move smartly out of the area, and across the foul-deck line to allow other planes to land. The after arena, Fly-Three, is composed of the unsung heroes of many battles with whirling propellers, stinging jet blasts, and fast-moving cross-deck pendants. When the planes are re-spotted for launch, it is Fly-Three who initi- ates the action. Ill . X 6 5 Q X f The Administration Department is directly re- sponsible to the Executive Officer and is composed of eight different offices. Each is responsible for various activities involving the various adminis- trative functions of ORISKANY. The Administration office handles incoming and outgoing correspondence. This ofiice has control of classified matter, maintains the ship's directive system and officers' records. The super- vision of the post office and the print shops is also assigned to this office. The Legal Office provides counseling on legal matters, preparation of wills, powers of attorney, and all legal documents, as well as its better known disciplinary functions. The Personnel Ofhce is the hub of enlisted activities. Here enlisted records are maintained, orders issued, personnel received, leave papers issued, and TAD orders drafted. The Education and Training Office maintains and distributes educational courses and materials. They also have over-all supervision of adminis- tration of promotional and educational examin- ations. 'igf f ' , ff . XariT.l7 ,-14,11 The duties of the Chaplains are primarily religious, but they are also assigned additional duties that promote the mental, moral and physical well-being of the crew.

Special Services supervises the Hobby Shop, Athletic Gear Locker, Television Studio, and the Radio Station. The Special Services Officer and his staff of four men also promotes various athletic programs and parties. The Public Information Officer acts as liaison between the ship and all news media. He is responsible for the publication of the ship's daily and monthly newspapers, and civilian visits to the ship. He also advises the Com- manding Officer in public relations matters and has a staff of three journalists. il .wp hi X .. .M . . . ,--ff, of W K sp V A i I E A fi' A .1 1 ' . f ,g'3 'X f ' T - -- , T 4 g Q f----- ' L fran!!- ' 2.

To keep the aircraft in A-1 condition, a division of 28 men maintain a cargo worth approximately eight mil- lion dollars in 28 storerooms throughout the ship. With today's ever-changing aircraft and complex equipment, the best skill and coordination are required of the S-6 storekeepers. They must order, issue, receive, and account for the many items required to keep ORISKANY oper- ationally ready. The Division maintains a 24-hour watch. As the old saying goes, 'QA storekeeper's work is never finished. This is never more obvious than at the ready issue counter in the Aviation Stores Office. Issues and receipts at the rate of 5,500 a month are routine. Material arrives by COD, Air Parcel Post, Unreps, and from the pier. When the ship moors, the tempo increases and the ship receives those items that could not be delivered at sea. Also, dur- ing this time engines and exchangeable materials are off loaded and shipped to the states for overhaul. The S-6 Division received an outstanding', in its last two annual supply inspections given by ComNavAirPac, which indicates that this Division is tops among the car- riers of the Pacific Fleet. 63 DIVISION Without a decisive naval force we can do nothing definitive and with it everything honorable and glorious. -George Washington xX's H , W if if 2-S'-i 'fy pm, 35 i Q3 r -E iii' . f ll -Ll 1 E ' .A ,WV V75-Q ,: , .

Second Division gets their chance to sparkle when the ship replenishes while underway, often on short notice and under unfavorable conditions. When the word is passed to man all starboard side replenishment stations, Second Divi- sion can be found on the sponson setting up Station Nine or preparing the fueling stations fore and aft. In a short time, their equipment is ready to transfer anything from a Navy Chaplain coming aboard for services to jet fuel. The will and the skill of the Second Division have en- abled them to post outstanding times in their competitive rigging and transfer exercises.

In addition, four private messes draw supplies and bakery products daily. At sea, approxi- mately 8,000 meals are fed daily during the three basic meals and mid-rats, at a cost of about 552,700 per day. To do this, a crew of 50 cooks and 133 messcooks work around the clock preparing and serving such things as 600 lbs. of bread, 330 gallons of coffee, 420 gallons of milk, and 250 gallons of ice cream per week. Total food consumption is 8 tons per day or 4,000 calories per man. Beyond the daily routine, commissary bakers regularly provide decorated cakes for special occasions such as 1000th landings, changes of command, etc. The best seller on the menu would have to be steak, but following close behind is that Italian dish, spaghetti.

This training starts with specialized Class C schools, classroom training within the division, and practical breakout and assembly drills. All this training blends the new men with the ex- perienced into a smooth operating team. Then, prior to deployment, this training is put to the test through several graded exercises: WERTRAEX QWeapons Training Exer- cisej, STRIKEX fStriking Exercisej, and ORI QOpera- tional Readiness Inspectionj. After passing the ORI, the missile team is ready to answer the call, Missiles to the flight deck. When the Combat Information Center, the eyes of the ship, detects an unidentified target, and the fighter aircraft are launched to intercept the target, they know that the missiles they carry are ready and able to shoot the target out of the sky, should it threaten the safe- ty of the task group. So far the only targets that have felt the destructive power of ORISKANY'S missiles have been practice targets. The men of the GM Division hope that their missiles are never needed to blast plane and man from the sky. If the call ever comes however, the Guided Mis- sile Division is ready to deliver their birds of destruction to protect the freedom of the United States and her allies. 137 S W 9 2--I .. . ,Q .X ., l ,, N' . . It if .nlllml p 0 DIVISIQX The colors must never be struck. -Lieutenant William Burrows X..- Cff g - Visual communications constitute an integral part of the over-all communications effort of any ship. As such, the signal bridge, with its signal gang plays an important role. Visual signaling is used for communica- tions in reference to radio wherever practicable. This is attributed to two advantageous reasonsg it eases the work load on radio facilities, and visual communications are not susceptible to enemy detection, interception, or interfer- CHCC. Visual communications fall into three categories. Flash- ing light is used primarily for administrative traffic. At night special infrared adapters make the light visible only with the use of compatible receiving devices. Flaghoist is used for tactical signaling when maneuvering with other ships. The third method of visual communications is the use of semaphore flags. Semaphore is much faster than flashing light for short-distance transmissions in daylight despite the fact that its usefulness is limited by its short range, It is more secure than light or radio. The ORIS- KANY's signal gang is one of the few which use aircraft direction wands to send semaphore during night 0p6f3fi0U5 such as underway replenments. Among this year's highlights for the division was 8 congratulatory message from the admiral for traffic handling during task force operations events were the signalmen winning the ship's physical fig- ness divisional competition, H.

W DIVISION Step right up folks, this is your lucky day. Weire talking about WU division, and we only do that once a year. Now you ask someone about W division and what do they say? Yeah, we know them. They're the guys who wear the pink badges. They work down in a hole and only time we see them is when they come out for chow, and the light makes their eyes blinkf' We do work away from the rest of the crew and no one knows too much about us, so right here we're going to clear up a lot of questions that people have been asking. What's the stand for?', Well, to a sailor, the 'WU could stand for wine, women, well-done steak, or weekend liberty, but in this case it stands for Wea- pons, You never know what we've got down there. It could range from our scotch- tape and rubber stamps, to our shiny coffee urn or do-it-yourself weight-lifting outfit. Or, it could be something entirely different. If you think that perhaps this doesn't rate a marine sentry, consider this: we've got the only stencil-cutting ma- chine on board, and if you think we're going to let that get away from us, your're crazy! What does the division contribute? The W division contributes in three categories. First, to the ship. To ORISKANY we give the highest percentage of Men of the Month of any division on the ship, also a remarkably high per- capita donation on all fund drives, and a practically spotless disciplinary record. Sec- ondl our contribution to the Navy: An incomparable record of outstanding awards ya for safety, administration, and operational efficiency. Our third contribution is to our country, and that is security. Now you may ask, What about personnel? They're the best. The very best. Their background and character are beyond reproach, and their mental, physical, and moral qualities have proven to be above standard. The fact that they are with us identifies them as being truly the pride of the fleet. Their skills are varied. And With us you'll find men wearing the ratings of aviation ordnanceman, aviation electrician, gunner's mate Qboth smooth-bore and technicianj, electrician, pipefitter, ye0maf1, and storekeeper. fWe tried to get a cook and a musician for morale purposes, but they said they got a better offer from the flagj the high morale of the W d1V1Sl0I1 is reflected in the motto of their men: Caveat Emptorj' let the buyer beware. 139 .ESYNXS f, X I Communications-Radio Division is composed of sixty alert, young men, four leading chief really isn't as old as he looksj. The majority are Radiomen, or striking for the rate. There is one notable exception. Our Communi- cation Yeoman is an airman apprentice, but he is learning the code. We get along wonderfully with our department head, our division officer, and our junior officer, but being fun-loving boys, we manage to keep them on their toes. We enjoy Westpac, are one hundred percent behind Naval aviation, and always think of ORISKANY as our home away from home. Our extra services on the ORISKANY have included bringing out the weekly football scores, pirating Press for the morning musket and the executive oHicer's fireside chats, loaning our ditto machine to other divisions, and taping the World Series and Bowl games for the enjoy- ment of the crew. Some of the things we cannot do for you on ORISKANY include fixing your telephone, ad- justing your public address system, connecting you with an outside line, or sorting your mail. Our division is proud of the task we do on ORIS- KANY. We believe that it is an important one and spare no efforts to turn in a good job.

Since RH division's primary interest is in the ma- terial security of the ship, this is reflected in the divisional watches. A round-the-clock watch is maintained in damage 7 control central. In addition to this, security patrols roam the ship constantly during the ship's non-working hours. These patrols sound voids to check for flooding, watch for fire hazards, and insure that the proper material condi- tion is set. x . f 1' UflRt:l , Fi ' 1 QWMW, 11 If 1 ml UU l IDI willy To wander back through Naval history, one finds that when the Electrician's rate was formed, the Naval tailors were asked to design a rating badge depicting a globe. The tailors, however, not understanding the tech- nical side of the rate, came up with a globe of the world rather than th. desired electric light globe. Due to this it may be said that the Electrician's rate came into being with one mistake already on its record. However, due to the inherent dangers of his day4o-day wvork the Tqaval Electrician strives to make it the last. Going back in the records of the ORISKANY you will find that the Elec- trical Division has never marred their high standard of safety. ,mf - ' 'i 158 r 's 4 '!, ?

This group also maintains the ship's massive steering machinery. The Machine Shop Gang is daily creating and repairing tools and parts for the entire ship. Annually this group saves the ship and the American tax payer thousands of dollars with their skillfully crafted products. Tucked away in three corners of the ship is the 02N2 Gang. They oversee the ship's three plants that produce the liquid oxygen so necessary to today's flight operations. This is A Division. These are the men who make the ship's auxillary machinery work.

Although the concepts of modern warfare have radically chang- ed in recent years with the advent of atomic wea- pons, jet engines and new tectical developments, the ability to seek, strike and destroy the enemy will always be a basic concept of Naval strategy. It is the task of the Main Engines Division, more commonly called the M Division, to ensure this concept of mobility. It does this through the main- tenance and operation of four main engines that propel this seventy-plane airport through the water at speeds of up to 31 knots. Each engine is powered by 600 p.s.i. of steam generating 30,000 horsepower and turning each of the ship's fifteen diameter propellers. rt . 5: h. an iii 1 Y. 4 'Ur i V! 7' 7 A T, is ll if f t if 1 l' fix 'Ee K Q Fm 7 ww , O 2 i i il? . ,Q 57 -gs -Q X i ig f ' l 1 K 1 2 A Q 1 1 I -.Y X h war. i I 393 i if , ,yfy , If , t jf, 1 A - 4 ' 1 Ti I X Q R wg - 3 i .3 gy Q in , 4, , 4 N 1 A ff' d 13 N N 'Q' O 4? 5? if sf 1 3, iff K 5- 4 Al X SY ri LX: 'K x A N dw , ' A 1 , 3' .K J 1 l Front row: BREHAUT, VARNEY, LTJG WASSON, BROWN, ODOM.

X 7 rm, at 5. The 161 man team known as the Boilers Division is the largest aboard ORISKANY. Along with being the largest comes a large job, namely, providing the energy necessary to drive every piece of machinery and electronics gear. The ORISKANY's eight large boilers provide the power to drive everything from the geared-turbine main engines to, via the turbo-generators, the dentist's drill back in the Dental lab. Included in the responsibilities of BH Division is the ship's fresh water distilling plant. Fresh water is used for drinking, cooking, laundry, and for make-up feed water for the boilers. The importance of the fresh water plant needs no explanation. The Oil Gang's job is to properly distribute the fuel oil, feed water, and fresh water through the jungle of piping and to the myriad of tanks and usage points. They also main- tain a testing laboratory and a program of checks that insure the purity of the fuel and feed water. In all, there are seven different gangs in B Division. There are the four fireroom crews, the evaporators, the oil gang, and boiler repair and the storeroom. D To operate and maintain the power plant of a modern warship takes a knowledge of sophisticated machinery, and an ability to stand temperatures that sometimes rise to 140 deg. It isn't all work and no play, though. In every port the boilermen are well represented. Then too, there's the softball team that had a record of 6 and 3.

Some forty auxiliary steam pumps of vary- ing sizes, speeds and constructions which di- rectly or indirectly are associated with the main engines or generators are also included in the division's cognizance. To achieve operating excellence while at sea means the sacrifice of many in-port liberty hours by the hard-working Snipes of the Division. 7 H X A L X Q S mmlllllllllll 'l X 1 ' r - l QW! Q- .uw Six separate and highly individual units make up A Division which carries a normal allowance of 90 men in the rates of MM, MR, and EN. The Hydraulics Gang coddles the three airplane ele- vators, the boat and airplane crane, the anchor windlass, the escalator, the winches, hoists, and dumbwaiters. The Steam Heat Gang is primarily concerned with channeling steam from the boilers to the catapult maf- chinery, the ship's galley, and to the laundry. As if 75 scuttlebutts weren't enough to keep them busy, the members of the Ice Machines Gang also tend the various air-conditioning and ice machines aboard. From the lowest ice cream machine to the sophisticated cooling of the NTDS equipment, the Ice Machines Gang contin- ually works to insure the comfort of the crew and the ship's more fragile machinery. The Diesel Gang nurses the ship's emergency diesel The Electrical Division is manned by two Of. licers and one hundred and two enlisted men with shop facilities and talent capable of performing ninety-nine percent of the electrical maintenance problems arising on ORISKANY, For example, during this cruise the power shop has rewound a total of one hundred and fifty-two motors, fourteen of which were in logistic sup- port of other ships in our task group. Of the one hundred and thirty-nine motor failures aboard, only one was beyond our capability and had to f be sent to the ship repair facility at Yokoguka. Thus, 'with this ninety-nine percent record re- flected throughout the entire division, plus our one hundred percent safety record, the Big O'5,' Electrical Division is on the job and ready to serve, ever mindful that safety is the ORIS- KANY's byword.

Most of these involve damage control and repairs, R Division's seventy men Qalmost equally divided be- tween damage controlmen and shipfittersj perform such varied tasks as fighting fires at sea, repairing hull damage on the ship's boats, and providing locksmith and plumbing service.

For example, a typical job order received in the shop may call for the construction of anything from a small drip pan, to a bulk- Of seas, shzps are the grace, -Anczeni Greek hymn head. Although R division is specifically responsible for repairs to the ship, its firemains, and plumbing systems, RH division's pipefitters also repair many other piping systems on the ship. Despite the fact that each division is responsible for the maintenance of damage control and firefighting equip- ment located in its spaces, the damage control shop makes many non-routine repairs to such items as fire hoses, C02 bottles, and portable pumps.

These stations, manned and maintained by the damage controlmen, are able to supply large quantities of foam instantly for fighting oil and gasoline fires.

SHERMAN, U.S. Navy Communications Oiiicer rl l 5 1 LCDR F. E. SHERMAN was born june 21, 1925 in Salina, Kansas. He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1949 and completed train- ing as a naval aviator in 1951. He has served with the Staff of Fleet Air Wing Atlantic and as in- structor at U.S. Naval Pre-Flight School. Before reporting to ORISKANY he spent two years with VP-42. He joined ORISKANY in September 1962 as Communications Officer. LCDR SHERMAN wears the American Theater, American Defense and the World War II Victory ribbons. He is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Frank W. Sher- man of Roswell, New Mexico and is married to the former Marlene Bauman of Warrington, Flor- ida. They have three children, Stefhan, 10, Mary, 6, and Sharon, 3. The SHERMANS reside at 950 Melrose Avenue, Chula Vista, California. ----W E- t ,, 'ei f 163 Wetz The duties of the Marine detachment aboard ORISKANY are many and varied. The primary mis- sion is to provide the nucleus of the ship's landing party. The detachment maintains the ship's brig, has charge of the ship's internal security, provides order- lies for the commanding ofhcer and executive ofiicer, and provides honor guards for visiting dignitaries. Last year the detachment had the distinct privilege of holding honors during a visit by the late President Kennedy. Along with these responsibilities, the detachment maintains a well-rounded training program in general military subjects both at sea and in port. During in- port periods, facilities permitting, the detachment conducts extensive field maneuvers. The most ideal conditions were found at the Naval base, Subic Bay, Philippine Islands, where the terrain offered great flexibility in the training program. In Subic, the training syllabus was composed of field-firing all the weapons organic to the detachment, small-unit tactics, and the highpoint,. jungle survival, which included the constructing of shelters, identifying and gather- ing. edible plants and roots, and procuring potable water. The detachment, commanded by Captain james E. SWAB, has a total of two oliicers and fifty-nine en- listed, including two staff NCOS. 40 pn 'X - +,, p 1 I 7TH DI VISIO 0 f X. rl.

David Farragut Fire control is the technique of delivering effective fire on a selected target. It includes the material, personnel, methods, com. munications, and organization necessary to harass, damage, or de- stroy the enemy. Within the Navy, however, the term has been customarily restricted to the control of gunfire. The fundamental problem of gunfire control is to direct the gun in such a way that the projectile will hit the designated target, If the target is stationary, and close enough, the problem is not dif- ficult. Complications are introduced by increasing the range, by shooting from a moving platform such as a ship, by shooting at moving targets, and by shooting many guns at the same target with centralized control. The increase in range increases the time of flight of the projectile, allowing gravity to exert its influence over a longer period of time and to cause the projectile to fall more and more below the projectile axis of the bore of the gun. The Fox Division is comprised of a total of two officers and twenty eight men, one chief petty officer, one first class, three sec- ond class, seven thirds, and sixteen seamen. Their responsibilities include the upkeep, maintenance, and operation of four gunfire control systems, and one target designation system. Fox Division boasts a collection of eleven E s gathered for excellence in ire control over the last four years of competition, a unique distinction throughout the entire Pacidc Fleet. 134 N ' 4 Aw ss D ' ' sk- X T 1 -I .4 If 'Q E x .F j , 'Y 5 L sr pil I - m gs I - if ' 1 Q I I D .. + 'I X, DQ me X we I 4 , W W t . -4 Ni -F F, I Q if X 4? 7 1 et c .rf 2 is 1 ,N . . .f . . ...xz 9.2: Q-e 'R e-f Q 1 si.m' .2 me .

Of these, fifty-one are of the avi- ation ordnance rate and twenty-one are gun- ner's mates. To them falls the task of hand- ling all ordnance aboard ORISKANY. For the greatest efficiency, the men of the di- vision are assigned as teams. Of ,these, three are composed entirely of ordnancemen, and their individual duties are separate and dis- tinct. First, there is the elevator crew. Their re- sponsibility is the operation and maintenance of all bomb and rocket elevators. They are the team that is often referred to as the man behind the man behind the gun. The second team is the hangar-deck crew. This team maintains the bomb-trucks and skids, and is charged w i t h breaking-out all ordnance needed from the hangar-deck magazines. In addition, these men restock the magazines upon the arrival of new ordnance. Up above, is the third team, the flight-deck crew, whose responsibility it is to see that all ordinance coming to the flight-deck is loaded on the assigned aircraft. These men ensure that all ordnance is properly secured, and that all electrical connections are tight. Without their inspection and approval., no aircraft can be launched. This crew also belts fby handj all 20MM ammunition used by the aircraft. Also on the flight deck is the EOD flixplosive Ordnance Disposal, man. His Wetz presence is required in the event that aircraft returning to the ship have ordnance that failed to fire or release due to a malfunction. He will inspect the ordnance and decide whether it is safe to off-load and stow below, or should be jettisoned over the side. The fourth team of the G division is made up of the gunner's mates. They play a very important role in the division, breaking out bombs and rockets and maintaining all the magazines below the third deck. These men also repair and stow in the armory, the ex- tensive arsenal used to train the ship's landing force. During the wcu.

ORISKANY's gunners do not confine their interest to the guns alone but to the associated hoists and magazines as well. No less important are the jobs of those who labor below decks, mak- ing sure that a steady supply of ammunition is available to the mounts above. Together with the gun crews, they form an efficient, hard-working team, dedicated to their ship, the Navy and to gunnery excellence.

L -Oliver Hazard Perry On the Hrst of August, the fifty men of Second Divi- sion waved goodbye to their friends and loved ones as the ORISKANY slowly edged away from the pier beginning a seven month cruise throughout the Western Pacific. The division was seven men short of their full complement, but still retained among both rated and non-rated men, many personnel seasoned by at least one previous cruise and well prepared for their forthcoming duties. On the cruise these men proved their worth not only by their own labors, but in the training of newer men to a high state of readiness. Many hours each working day are devoted to keeping their spaces and equipment clean and in top condition. Besides their cleaning stations in officer's country and areas of the port and starboard sponsons, Second Division attends the port motor whaleboat, and the Number Four personnel boat. The Second Division shows its muscle and professional skill each time the ship has a special evolution. When mooring or casting ORISKANY off, part of the Second Division may be found on the starboard sponson, smartly attending the mooring lines while others man the whale- boat and assist from below in the water. 126 Set ship r under man , sion or pl time P 3 1 gfis . .

Thirty-eight ORISKANY Stewards, assisted by twenty- three Squadron personnel, make up the working comple- ment of the S-5 Division. Of these, three men are assigned to the Captain's quarters, and the remainder fill the needs of approximately two hundred sixty ofiicers. Two Chiefs direct the operations of thirty rated and twenty-seven non- rated men. S-5 Division has many assignments and responsibilities in making the wardroom an efficient and well-run dining space. Food is procured for the wardroom from both the general mess, and from outside sources by the Jack-of- the-Dust and his assistant. The jack-of-the-Dust issues food to the galley and pantry as it is required. The cooks and pantry men prepare the food for the many officers who subsist in the Mess. The wardroom stewards serve the prepared food in accordance with established customs of food service, and the wardroom supervisor carefully observes all activities in the wardroom to insure that the meal is run smoothly and properly. The wardroom is maintained by the wardroom stewards. The stateroom stewards are responsible for the off1cer's staterooms, being charged not only with their cleanliness, but also with providing fresh linen and laundry service daily. The state- room supervisor, keeping a stateroom chart, inspects the rooms carefully, and records an up-to-the-minute status on all rooms. It is the object of the S-5 Division, through the proper performance of the aforementioned assignments, to pro- vide the officers with an outstanding seagoing home that is similar to a gentleman's club where one could be proud to entertain guests or relatives. 4 DIVISI In time of peace it is necessary to prepare and be always prepared for war by sea, --101971 Paul jones ily?

They also supply messengers to shuttle between the bridge and the ship's combat information center QCICQ. A more mundane but appreciated service is keeping the bridge personnel supplied with hot, fresh coffee. Underway replenishments CUNREPSQ make it pos- sible for ORISKANY to operate indefinitely without hav- ing to go into port for supplies. Here first division renders its services by manning several transfer stations and rig- ging the necessary lines between the ships. On these lines ORISKANY may take aboard fuel, medical supplies, am- munition, provisions, mail, or personnel. When General quarters is sounded and battle stations are manned, once again flrst division can be found playing a key role manning two of the ship's five inch gun mounts. In competition they distinguished themselves by winning the navy E , symbol of excellence. Three hashmarks painted beneath it indicate subsequent awards for three more years of consistently good shooting. The sixty-two men of the first division invite you t0 visit them on ORISKANY.

Medical Technology has kept pace with the advance- ment of weaponry from muskets to missiles. From the days of the loblolly boy, the modern Medical Department has evolved to a corps of highly trained hospital corps- men. This is nowhere more aptly demonstrated than in the Medical Department on board ORISKANY. This Division of twenty-four ship's company corps- men Plus SiX Air Group corpsmen, is comprised of men Wh0 are technicians in almost every phase of medicine. Standing ready to perform the everyday jobs of examina- t10fl, treatment, and care of patients, plus any and all emergencies, are technicians in such fields as X-ray, lab- Ofafofy, Surgery., aviation medicine, sanitation, pharmacy, finance, Supply, and medical administration. The equip- mentifmd Space for these many and varied tasks are Contained in the main sick bay spaces. The Medical De- Paffment Contains a complete operating room, laboratory, 185 pharmacy, aviation examining room with an eye tunnel, three quiet rooms, a forty-six bed ward, and all the offices and spaces required for support of these functions. During an average month the medical department expects to see approximately two thousand personnel at Sick Call, and admit and care for some forty patients. During the same month ten operations will be performed of which two will be emergency appendectomies. We ex- pect to receive four personnel a month from other ships in our Task Group with diagnoses ranging from broken bones to diseases of an infectious nature. The ever-present shot,' line is not to betforgotten, and during the course ofa year some twenty thousand immunizations will be given to the ship's company and Air Group personnel. Each month we will expose three hundred X-ray films, perform eight hundred separate laboratory procedures, fill six hundred prescriptions, and process and maintain records of three thousand constantly changing personnel. -.SR -4, V' I Q 5 i ii ' i . ! ,X f, A ft - I 4 , 1 .

Their duties cover the wide range from celestial navigation to correcting charts and rigging the ship's outline lights. The navigation department consists of two officers and twenty-one men. CDR DAVENPORT, the navigator, came to ORISKANY from VA-122 where he had been skipper for sixteen months. The assistant navigator, LCDR WETZ, came to ORISKANY from VR-21 at Barber's Point, Ha- waii. Chief Freeman heads the enlisted crew. His training programs have made navigation the envy of the ship. In the past three and a half years there has only been one quartermaster to take a test who has not been promoted and all of the rated men in the navigation department ex- cept the chief have earned all their rates on ORISKANY. In the athletic field they placed third in the softball competition. Suprisingly enough, it wasn't the larger di- visions that beat them. It was the flag team that proved their undoing. lO6 Y' N 'SP K Yr' G -6- .wi-R. Standing: BROOKS, LT H. A. WAGNERg LTJG G. G. MCKENNEY, jR.g LT R. E. CURRIEQ LT T. G. BIRKEY CMCJQ LT H. J.

Wfhen fully manned for G.Q. and AAWEX, CIC possesses manpower in excess of 120 men. These include 60 rated men, 4 CPOS, 3 MA's, 30 non-rated, and 15 officers. OI division is an active participant in all phases of sports competition. The most recent achievement is a 2nd place finish in ORISKANY's 1963 softball tournament. The annual OI softball world series features a heated rivalry where the officers battle with the enlisted men as age is pitted against youth. The prestige and sense of high achievement is ever-present among the members of OI division. These traits are reflected by the excellent appear- ance and high morale of its men. Personnel in- spections find OI at the top of the list of sharp, neat Navy men. The excellent behavior and clean records of its men are beyond reproach. Any man who wears the radar insignia on his uniform aboard our ship, wears it with pride and dignity. OI DI VISIO The operations intelligence division, under the guidance and leadership of CDR HIGGINS with LTJG WOODWARD as division officer, performs its functions with exactness and rapidity. The nu- merous and intricate functions of OI are carried out to their fullest through the use of the Naval Tactical Data System installed within modular CIC during the yard period of 1961. ORISKANY is the only carrier in the 7th Fleet equipped with NTDS. NTDS consists of high-speed., solid-state digital computers with the ability to complete an instruc- tion in only 20 millionths of a second. The use of data processing by functional programs enables CIC to accomplish its functions with greater speed and accuracy than its sister ships, equipped with conventional installations. The basic function of OI division is the col- lection, display, evaluation, and dissemination of tactical and combat information required by vari- ous command stations for the efficient fighting and navigation of the ship.

The OC Division is composed of two main branches, Air Oper- ations and Carrier Controlled Approach QCCAQ. There are 4 oiii- cers and 24 enlisted personnel in the OC Division. Most of the en- listed personnel are Aircontrolmen or striking for that rate. The Air Operations branch composes the daily air plan, keeps half-hourly positions of the ship, and computes ranges and bearings to diversionary fields required if an aircraft has to bingo or land at a Held ashore. lt is also the dutv of Air Operations to keep a daily log of all departure and arrival times of aircraft. CCA is the title given to the Radar Air Trafiic Control Agency. A departure controller controls the departure of each aircraft by radar. Wfhen an aircraft is readv to return. an approach controller assigns the altitude for the return. After the aircraft commences its approach, it is switched to letdov. n control which provides sufticient separation for a proper arrested landing interval. I-'inal control takes over when the aircraft is six miles astern of the ship ,and pro- vides accurate spacing and turns to position the .tircraft on the n1eatball for an approach and landing.

X te The commanding officers f th 1963 ' , CDR NETHERLAND, left, relieved CDR BANKS xHoeng Kon?ugj3.C. on 21 September THE GHOSTRIDERS STORY The Ghostriders were commissioned as a Squadron on 1 September 1960 at NAS Cecil Field, Florida. They moved to NAS Lemoore in September 1961 and departed on their first cruise aboard the USS ORISKANY in june of 1962. The Ghostriders fly the A4B light jet attack aircraft and have compiled an impressive flight record in their brief but colorful history. After returning from their first WESTPAC Cruise in December 1962, no time was lost in preparing for the next. Training commenced with a weapons deployment to Fallon, Nevada in February 1963, and the first of several shipboard deployments in April. During this time the versatile squadron received a compliment to their capability when they were requested to participate in the Presidential Demonstration for our late Commander in Chief, President Kennedy, at NAF China Lake on 6 june 1963. Two events demonstrating the firepower of the A4B, low altitude loft bombing and rocket delivery., were performed. The squadron consists of 130 enlisted men of the many rates necessary to keep a squadron functioning, and 20 officers. Of the officers seventeen are highly qualified attack pilots, two are non-flying maintenance specialists and one is an Air Intelli- gence Officer. ' During the present cruise, while anchored at Hong Kong, B.C.C., CDR C. A. BANKS, JR. was relieved by CDR R. M. NETHERLAND as the Commanding Offi- cer of this young, eager and proud squadron of Carrier Air Wing Sixteen. 223 SASEBO sf- gtk. 'Rd - 0 95, . W f ,Z V , A .- svn 1 ,,-A- ' ' 1 4 K V 'M I . . A .

The attack aircraft carrier USS ORISKANY con- ducted a transfer at sea with the S. S. WASHINGTON STANDARD early this month to aid an injured seaman. Able Seaman john M. Alsup, husband of Lois A. Alsup of 4326 Burkeway, Freemont, California, was stricken with 2 hemorrhaging duodenal ulcer with complication from a hemophilia condition. . UORISKANY diverted from her original course to give and when the WASHINGTON STANDARD radioed that She did not have facilities aboard for treatment. Alsup was bf0L1ght aboard ORISKANY via a motor whale boat accom- Panied by a member of the medical staff. 69 Yi ll x ., i 'X 'X - - - - passed to helping hands - - - Alsup's condition has now stabilized and has been moved from the critical to the serious list. The prognosis remains guarded, however, steady improvement is now anticipated. HORISKANY, commanded by Captain Herman TRUM, will transfer the patient to a hospital in Pearl Harbor and then continue steaming on her six month Far Eastern deployment with the Powerful U. S.

These are carried out by the two ships steaming side by side and then rigging fuel hoses or lines between them. The stores to be transferred are then carried across on these lines. It is during UNREP's that the deck crew really shines. 279 - - as the replenishment ship sees us. ,f X ORISKANY's rig and unrig times have been exceptional, and her along side time at a minimum. To watch an UNREP it appears that all is confusion, but when the loads are totaled up, we always find that we have loaded much more than we could have taken from a pier in the same length of time.

The ORISKANY departed in May 1060 for her first Far East cruise since her recominissioninttg. She returned tu her homeport of San Diego in Detemher, lflfvll, .after opera ating with the Seventh lileet, .ind nmlting t.ills in .l.ip.in, ,Hong Kong, Oltin.tw.t, .ind the Philippine Islands. After operating out of San Diego, the ORISKANY entered the San Francisco Naval Shipyard in March 1061 for .ft five month overlmul period. During this period moth new equipment was installed in .addition tu normal overhaul work. ln Match of 1961. fi.-XPT Harry ll. BARTON re- lieved C.-XPT Gl'liS'l' as Cotnnmntling Officer. Among the most noticeahle changes were the installa- tion of the Fresnel Lens Landing System. the Yan Zelm Bridle Arrester, and the Sheave Damper System. ln September. 1961. ORISK.-'NNY received 21 new ex- tremely compact electronic computing system. known as the Naval Tactical Data System. The NTDS continually collects tactical data from the ship's radars and communications systems. Data is stored, sorted, and evaluated in electronic computers. The control of the computers is done by a list of instructions called a program. The computers ability to complete an instruction in only 20 tnillionths of a second, or 50,000 instructions in .1 single second is .in indication of its great speed. Also, in September the ORISKANY departed San Fran- cisco and returned to San Diego. Upon her return to San Diego she underwent .1 period of underway training at the completion of which she was awarded a good on her final battle problem. On january 50, 1962, lfirst Lieutenant Richard C. LAND, VSMC, landed his A-1D fSltyhawltj to make ORIS- KANYS 55,000 lantling. tQAl l' Charles A. IARROBINO relieved CAPT BAR- 'rox .ts Cloinmanding Officer on March 25, 1962. ORISKANY took part in Operation Pork Barrel the ist-ek of May ll, 1962, off the California coast. Pork Barrel was designed to test the readiness of deck hands, engineers and pilots. june 2. 1962 ORISKANY began her fifth liar East deployment. Prior to ht-coming it member of the l,l.S.

ORISKANY attained one of the highest grades for' Operational Readiness ever awarded a carrier of hertlass. l-C.DR D. liORliliS landed his A3D fSkywarriorj on August 10, 1962 to tally ORISKANYE 60,000 landing. ORISKANY achieved at Navy first on August 12, 1962 during the simultaneous refueling of the U.S.S. KING fDl-G-101 and the li.S.S. MAHAN QDLG-llj. The three chips were the first naval units to receive the Naval Tactical Data System. and it was the first time the three ships be- came physically united. September 9. 1962 ORISKANY sailors hosted 20 of thc 28 adopted daughters orphans of the Oriskany Home Orphanage. Kausanagi, japan. The young orphans spent the day touring the ship with their escorts and presented the crew with an entertainment On May 2, 1953, the ship departed Yokosuka, japan. arriving in San Diego on May 18. On june 3. CAPT Charles D. GRIFFIN relieved CAPT SHANDS. After operating off the California coast during the sum- mer of 1955, ORISKANY began its second cruise to the Far East on September 118, with Air Group 19 embarked. The Korean Wfar had cotne to a halt and there was more time to enjoy the liar liast. The ship visited the ports of Yokosuka, Sasebo, and Kobe, japan, and many of the men found time to journey to Tokyo, Yul-tuligttiu, K.unakur.t, .ind the ancient capitol of Kyoto. Sightseeing combined with military matters when in November, officers from URIS- KANY amd the air group visited the front lines of Korea as guests of the Eighth Army and lfifth Air Iforcc.

The home was built by the contributions of the ships officers and men during their first tour in the Far Iiist, Clothing drives and other contributions were periodically cnnrlugtcwli by the ship in the childretfs behalf. In March of 195-t. ORISKANY took part in the Pacific Fleet exercise in which the Third Marine Division assaulted the beaches of Iwo 'lima for the second time in a decade. RADM XVHITNEY coordinated naval air power during the exercise from his flagship ORISKANY. CAPT GRIF- FIN commanded aggressor naval and air forces. On March 2, an unusal accident occurred. An FZH-3 Banshee jet flown by LT F. REPP suffered a partial loss of power as it was approaching the flight deck. REPP couldn't prevent the plane from settling. lt struck the after end of the flight deck, its fuselage breaking in two. A mountain of flame erupted as its fuel tanks exploded. But the nose and cockpit section slid down the flight deck while the rest of the craft fell burning into the sea. LT RIEPP climbed out of the cockpit unscratched. On April 6, 195-1, ORISKANY again turnctl homeward. In .luly CfAl I' l.t-roy Cf. SIMPLIZR relieved CAPT GRIFFIN .is lfommanding Officer. During tht- summer ORISKANY got :mother movie role.

The keel was laid in the Brooklyn Navy Shipsard on May 1, 1944, and the vessel was launched on October 15, 19125, when Mrs. Clarence Cannon, wife of Congressman Cannon of Missouri, christened her ORISKANY. Because the ship was too late for Xlforld XYar ll, actual completion was delayed until the Korean XY ar. Un bepteni- ber 25, 1950, ORISKANY was placed in coniniission in .t Ceremony at the lirooklin Navy Shipyard. ADM lforrest SHERMAN delivered the principal address, and among the guests were representatives of the Uriskani llistorital So- ciety from the Mohawk Valles in New York hearing the baittle nieinentos for their ti.nnes.ike, ffAl'l' Pt-rcs ll.

Italy: Cannes and Golfe De juan on the French Riviera. At Tripoli the American Consul presented the Captain and the crew the gift of a dachshund puppy named Schatzie. Tripoli Schatzie, the only female ever to accompany ORISKANY on the high seas, had no rivals for the affec- tion of her 5,000 masters. At Izmir CAPT John O. LAM- BRECHT relieved CAPT LYONS. ORISKANY steamed into New York Harbor on No- vember 6, 1951, unloaded her ammunition and removed the mast for passage under the East River bridges, then sailed into Brooklyn Navy Shipyard. There she was to be placed in an inactive status for several months during ti flight deck renovation. On the flight deck 1,700 officers and men were in formation spelling out the challenge: HI Nlfkk' YORK! URISKANY CAN DO l0f1f,Q -- CAN YUl'? This referred to the nationwide blood drive which .it that time was reaching ti peak. ORISKANYS crew re- sponded to the drive hv donating over 2,000 pints of blood. litir some time the ship was known as the Blood Vessel, which testified to its esprit, hut hardly its taste in humor. URISKANY was reconimissioned for active duty on May 29, 1952, with it new hridge, new' fiight deck :ind the first opt-r.uion.il automatic steering system, she departed on zi tttiist' .around South America for Pacific duty and eventu- .illv. the Koit-.in coinhnt vone. On june 19. the ship steamed into Riu dt- .l.int-iro, her crew of 1,900 at attention on thc flight dt-tk and her guns thundering a salute to Brazil. llr.i1il's llresitlent Vargas visited the ship to view at jet air show. On june 29. 1952. ORISKANY rounded Cape Horn, the hrst :iirtrnft tzirrier ever to do so. From her decks the men tould see the 1.400-ft, peak on the Cape through the filks of si bright southern sun. The first Patihc port of call was Valparaiso, Chile, where the ships wcltome was at warm one. The Gnal stop was Lima. Peru. whith most of the men found the hes! shopping tits' in South Ameritzi. Their pockets empty and sea Chests filled. these sutcessful diplomat-sailors steamed north, arriv- ing in their new homeport of San Diego on july 21, 1952. Two days later CAPT LAMBRECHT was relieved by CAPT Courtney SHANDS. ORISKANY devoted the next two months to leave, underway training and air group qualifications in prepara- tion for combat. The ship briefly visited San Francisco and Long Beach Naval Shipyards. 1 D . I If xp, 1 r n, Jiniga I 1 f I xt' xl, 1' J fi I, fir' .i 1 'f i x , A XS x X 2 1, 4? . ' en. ff 'xx X X .

A third force under Colonel St. Leger was to proceed westward from Montreal to Oswego on Lake Ontario, from there south. ward to Fort Stanwix fthe present Romej, and thence through the Mohawk Vallev to Albany where they would join forces with Burgoyne and Howe, If this plan had succeeded the consequences might have been fatal to the American cause. St. Leger reached Fort Stanwix on August 3 and began preparations for an attack. Meanwhile, Brigadier General Nicholas Herkimer, who lived thirty-three miles to the eastward, had called the local militia, 800 of whotn on August 4 began a march under his command to relieve the garrison at Fort Branwix. Hearing of this movement St. Leger sent out on ihe evening of August 5 a force composed of 80 whites and most of the Indians to wavlav I-lerkimer's men. Six miles east of Fort Stanwix they hid on the western slope of a heavily wooded ravine at Oriskany across which ran a rough road over which I-lerkimer's force would pass. That same night Herkimer sent scouts to Fort Stanwix to arrange for joint action with the defenders who were to tire a cannon shot to indicate that the messengers had arrived. Early on the morning of August 6 Herkimer was induced against his better judgment to move toward Fort Stanwix before he heard the cannon signal. Xt ten o'clock he crossed the ravine with the major part of his force and w .ts tnet by a murderous fire frotn ambush on three sides. His wagon train which was just entering the ravine halted: the rear guard fled, but Herkimer and those who had crossed the ravine stood and fought it out. liarly in the battle Herkimefs horse was shot from under him and he rceeix cd .t wound in the leg, from which he later died. Propped up on his saddle against a tree he continued to direct the hand-to-hand fighting, with knife, gun and tomahawk. Then carne a terrific thunderstorm which interrupted the fighting. The battle had startelx been resumed when the boom of the cannon at Fort Stattwix w as lieard. The lndians, discouraged by their losses, were alarmed by the sound ul the cannon and raised the cry of retreat. Deserted by their lmliati allies, the whites retreated also and left the held to the exhausted militia Nltfanwlnle .r detatlnnent of 250 men had left Fort Stanwix to attack Nt I tgtr s tanrp nearby.
