Air Wing pilots are especially noted for their fondness of the Angels , which orbit starboard of the carrier during all air operations. They know the helicopter crew's primary mission is to aid them should they be forced to ditch or eject up to 150 miles from the ship. Ship's company, oiiicers and men, are also happy to have the helos aboard. If, by some misfortune, one of them should slip and fall overboard at any time, day or night, they know a helicopter will be airborne within minutes to pick them up. The helo is a welcome sight to ships in company with ORISKANY as well. It brings them mail from home, the Stars and Stripes , Chaplains on Sundays, and shuttles patients to the doctors and dentists on the carrier. The eight ollicers and thirty-one enlisted men of the detachment are proud of this popularity. They can usually be seen working around the clock, keeping the helos up to meet the next day's commitments. We're happy to have been of service to ORISKANY and AIR WING 16! 32 Cf'-PTA1 I , . v ' r ,K bm .a-...r,.. .. , ,, My w! . I T Koch LCDR Maze Officer in Chargej, LTJG Beck.

The first aircraft assigned for the purpose of delivering the goods on the ship was the old TBM-known as the Turkey. Later on when the versatile AD became available it was configured for passenger and cargo carrying and replaced the old TBM's. The first aircraft built specifically for the purpose of COD was the TF-1 Trader , which was essentially a modified SZF Tracker',. It had increased capacity for both personnel and cargo plus added safety from its twin engines. It is still currently in use with the new designation of C-1A. The primary purpose of the C-1A and its crew is still logistic support. As a second- ary function, the C-1A provides training and a means for the ship's company aviators to maintain their flight proficiency. The C-1A is the only aircraft owned by ORISKANY. It is scheduled and run directly by the Operations Department, with the maintenance chores done by the Air Department's V-6 Division personnel. Most days you will find the C-1A off for a load of mail or maybe some badly needed AOCP parts or it may be sent to pick up and transport visiting dignitaries and news- men. It also hauls off the short timers and returns with new personnel for the ship to maintain the crew at top combat efiiciency. 136 I V W 3 , Q, 1 arine Detachment 138 I Q N 1,.,...,..-.........----'Lf'-'-fi yd V 74 A :H-' - ! - f ,Y , A , - , -gi.. ,mdhvx H.,-g, AM-,,M vq -fl cl., ,,,pfl'5fTf!1p' 5 4 , ,F xkg J 2' I We fb 4 ik' i WSI 'Q elf N S lb 42919 IIIUIIWWIIIUII ' 1 H lr If 1 N .1 It Q Q af' Commanding Oiiicer Capt. W. M. Van Antwerp 9 o'o' .0 0 f I Since the days of John Paul jones, Marines have served on ships-of-the-line. Their duties have been many and varied: from sniping at enemy ships to grand parades at the Palace of the Emperor of Japan. Modern Detachment Marines are primarily charged with the internal security of the ship and the organization of the Ship's Landing Party. Some of their concurrent duties are: High-line transfers, ammunition unreps, orderly duty, special weapons security, honor guards, small arms instruction, brig duty, and military subjects instruction in basic combat skills. November 10, 1965 marked the One-Hundred Ninetieth Birthday of the United States Marine Corps and its service aboard Naval vessels throughout the world. It was indeed fitting that this birthday was celebrated aboard ORISKANY at sea in support of combat operations. 139 V- ' -nr-- 1-'H '-- - Executive Oliicer lst LT R. N.

The Philippines, weather, people and land, are beautiful and volatile. You may set into harbor in torrential rain and tie up in the sun with only the brittleness of the sunlight and a few tatters of cloud to mark the passing of the storm. There is a cement bridge you must cross to get into Olongapo. Under this bridge runs a river of filthy water. Out of it projects a piling on which perches a little brown boy, all ribs and eyes and hands. He holds out a cone of chicken wire begging you to throw some coins into it. Below him in the water swim more children offering to dive for coins if you will only throw them down. They all cry out to you in voices that seem to say feven though you don't understand the wordsj, We need food. We need clothes. We need love. And yet you may see these same children a few moments later yelling and laughing along the river bank in a happy chase. You hurry from the bridge and there is the town waiting, with its bright neon, and its muddy streets, and the open sewers behind its drab buildings and the smell of frying meat from the small grills of the street venders and the boom and twang of the body-twisting, finger-twitching music from its countless bars. The next day you may visit Manila on a tour and feel the tradition of a Spanish past eddying around you, or feel something that you thought you were past feeling clutch at your throat when you view the dignity of acres of white-crossed death, or feel en- chantment when you smell the heavy perfume of flowers on the air, and sweep the explosive green of the hills with your eyes, and hear the solid rush of downhill water and the happy laughter of children washing the family cattle.

S-QQ Reynolds Reynolds Hong Kong In Hong Kong the first phrase a child learns to say is, I make you special deal in seven languages. It is probably the only place in the world where you can buy a Swiss watch for fifty cents and the chain off your dog tags. We went there to buy and' that is what we did-American colonial chairs, French tables, Armenian rugs, japanese tape recorders, German cameras, shoes of Italian leather, cribbage boards of African ivory carved by Chinese hands, English watches, and huge bolts of Thailand silk for the wife back home. There is analmost oppres- sive abundance of everything-people, food, wealth, and poverty. Everything to satisfy any desire is there . . . for a price. And for the Navy man of limited means and a thirst for the land that only forty days at sea can engender, there is the awesome beauty of the place itself. 180 - r,,. 1 w l ,W 1 at .1-p -nl ..-.,.-...- -bw 1- . ,. ,. ,,.., . , --fu-1-1-M-f-mn' f: -, ,.,,4,.,,f.:4.-qvef , V ,, ,, ,' , , - M K. ,.,..--..V-fu., ,. m,.,.m.-. -,,.Il,.,..Y.. .'

It participated in action at Tarawa, Wake, the Gil- bert Islands, Kwajalein, Truk and the Marianas Turkey Shoot while embarked aboard LEXINGTON and was awarded a Presi- dential Unit Citation for these operations. At the end of WW II, Air Group 16 was decommissioned. On 1 September 1960, Air Group 16 was recommissioned at NAS Cecil Field, Florida with five component squadrons: VF-161, F-3B Demons, VF-162, F-6A Skyraysg VA-165 and VA-164, A-4B Sky- hawksg and VA-165 A1HfJ Skyraiders. Air Group 16 participated in various Atlantic Fleet exercises until September 1961 when it traveled across the United States to its new home at NAS Lemoore, California. VF-162 remained with the Atlantic Fleet to make a Mediterranean cruise aboard USS Front row Paulos YNC Qulzon DK2 Back row Rob INTREPID- ertson DK5 Terry SN Air Group 16 deployed to the Western Pacific aboard USS ORIS- KANY on 7 June 1962. For the 1962 cruise VMF-232 replaced VF-162. VF-162 rejoined Air Group 16 when this cruise concluded in December 1962. In August 1963 Air Group 16 embarked in ORISKANY for another cruise to the Far East. During this deployment, the Air Group was redesignated Attack Carrier Air Wing 16. This deployment was also the last for VF-161's F-SB Demons. VF-161 and VA-165 have been assigned to other Air Wings. For the current oper- ating cycle, Marine All-Weather Fighter Squadron 212 and VA-152 are new members of Air Wing 16.

Attack Squadron 165 was commissioned on 1 September 1960 at Naval Air Station, Cecil Field Florida as part of Carrier Air Wing 16. The Saints moved to Naval Air Station, Lemoore, California a year later. Assigned to ORISKANY, the squadron deployed to WESTPAC in 1963, 1964, and 1965. Under the Command of CDR. Harry Jenkins, jr. during its present deployment, the squadron has been continuously employed in combat operations against communist forces in North and South Viet Nam and Laos. The Saints participated in actions at Nam Dinh, Thanh Hoa, Son La, Vinh, Ha Tinh, Phu Qui, Kep and Bon Moc Chao. Day and night for periods of up to forty days the Saints have roamed the high- ways and byways of North Viet Nam disrupting the flow of vital military goods by destroying bridges, trains, trucks, barges, and roads. During its first month of combat the squadron estab- lished an all-time high for number of hours flown by a jet squadron. The Saints have flown more than 2400 combat sorties, accumulated more than 5100 carrier landings, delivered over 6,- 000,000 pounds of ordnance and earned more than 400 decorations. 200 T A C K A R Q .

LUDDEIN COMMANDING OFFICER MARINE ALL WEATHER FIGHTER SQUADRON 212 ...,.,,,,M'mm N.. 1 'few wa... The Lancers of VMF QAWJ 212 possess a notable history of devoted service, military competence, and professional accomplishments. This famous squadron was originally commissioned on 1 March 1942 at Ewa, Hawaii. This squadron is credited with 62 and W enemy aircraft destroyed at Guadalcanal. Following a short tour of the States, they re- turned to the Pacific to fly many combat missions at Midway and Esprito Santo. On V-J Day VMF-212 was credited with 132 and M enemy aircraft destroyed. Normal training was conducted during the post-war years, however, with the outbreak of hostilities in Korea the squadron soon entered the thick of the battle. From September 1950 until the end of the conflict, VMF-212 flew 18,257 combat missions and amassed a total of 39,893.4 combat hours. The squadron remained in Korea until 1955 when it returned to Hawaii. Since that time it has been part of the 1st Marine Brigade at MCAS Kaneohe. Among its noteworthy peacetime accomplishments was a deploy- ment to japan in the fall of 1958. VMF QAWJ-212 was among those who participated in a trans-Pacific flight, via Midway, Wake, and Guam. This was a Marine Corps first. 207 Y--Y 'Y ' '- f - 1 - YVii-i-:-- ---- --- f---f --H 9 l l 1 l l i Sl Z . l A l l l Il .l fl l l l l U 4 lil J i v l r l Back row: 1stLT C. C. Stearns, 1stLT W. C.

Air Group 15 deployed with LCDR David McCampbel1 as Air Group Commander in February 1944 on board USS ESSEX. During this tour Air Group 15 participated in many combat sorties including the Marianas Turkey Shoot for which they received the name Fabulous Fifteen and a Presidential Unit Citation. The Air Group was decommissioned on 20 October 1945. The second Air Group designated 15 was commissioned in September 1951, and VF-713, flying F4U-2's, was part of this Air Group and later was designated VF-152. VF-713 was commissioned in February 1951 from a reserve unit at Denver, Colorado and made its first deployment in Sep- tember 1951 on board the USS ANTIETAM QCV-36D and its second Korean tour on board the USS PRINCETON QCV-321 in January 1953. For these tours the Squadron received the Korean Services Medal with four engagement stars, the Korean Presidential Citation and the Navy Unit Commendation. On 4 February 1953 VF-713 was redesignated VF-152. After its return to Moffett Field, VF-152 converted to F2H Banshee's. In July 1954, VF-152 deployed on board the USS YORKTOWN to the Western Pacific. Further deploy- ments were made to the Western Pacific in April 1956 on board the USS WASP QCVA-18j, in 1957 on board the USS HORNET, and in 1958 on board the USS BENNING- TON. In 1958 VF-152 received AD-6's and AD-7's QA-1HfD and was redesignated VA- 1952. The first deployment of VA-152 was made on board the USS HANCOCK CCVA- 191 in 1959. Since then, VA-152 has made three tours to the Western Pacific on board the USS CORAL SEA QCVA- 431, 1960 to 1961, 1961 to 1962 and in 1963. In 1964 VA- 152 was sent to Viet Nam to train Vietnamese pilots to fly the A1Hfj Skyraider. This task was completed in No- vember 1964 and in December 1964, VA-152 was assigned to Carrier Air Wing 16 and began training for a Western Pacific deployment on board the USS ORISKANY QCVA- 34D in April 1965.

ENGEL, USN Executive Officer The GHOSTRIDERS fly the A4E light attack jet aircraft and have compiled an impressive record over the past five years. The Squadron enlisted roster consists of approximately 130 men of the many rates necessary to keep a highly complex weapons system in top condition. Of the 22 officers, 19 are qualified attack pilots, two are maintenance specialists, and one an air intelligence olicer. ' Most recent in our history was the Change of Command which took place on 24 july 1965 in Yokosuka, Japan. Commander W. ROBERTS was relieved by Commander D. SHAW as Commanding Ollicer. On this, their third WESTPAC cruise, the GHOSTRIDERS were called into combat for the first time. Arriving on the scene as the Southeast Asian situation developed into open conflict, all hands showed great 'determination to utilize to the fullest degree the training which had prepared them for such an eventuality. The pilots were not alone in experiencing uneasy moments at the beginning, but in no time at all the launching of as many as forty combat sorties per day became common place. LEFT: LCDR T. R.

A quick roll over the top will put you just where you should be. 1 220 With the increased tempo of operations came new records. By the end of August, all pilots had earned a Centurion badge for carrier landings, a feat rarely accom- plished in an entire cruise. In addition, some looked to the prospect of flying more than 100 missions and each had been nominated for at least one Air Medal. Ordnance loading teams composed of men from all divisions were organized to assist our technicians in fitting the air- craft with tons of bombs and rockets. By the end of july, these men had established a record for Navy squadrons by loading more than 2,500,000 pounds of ordnance for the period commencing with our first tour on station in early May. 1 1 I l 1 1 1 1 l . 1 l .

MCINTYRE as Officer in Charge. At that time the detach- ment had six pilots, five controllers and six flight technicians along with a nucleus of the maintenance and administrative personnel. Shortly after formation the detachment was deployed Q2-19 Novemberj aboard the USS ORISKANY for participation in a Weptraex. Following the Weptraex a period of almost three months was spent at NAS North Island where additional training and schooling was provided for detachment personnel. Dur- ing this period the detachment proved itself able to meet its many commitments despite numerous schedule changes. February found us deployed aboard USS ORISKANY again for an ORE and Operation Silverlance. Our missions were many and varied during this period and the results of the concentrated training effort during our shore-based period became evident. Participation in Silverlance also provided an opportunity to detect weak areas that needed bolstering prior to our WESTPAC deployment. The receipt of addi- tional permanent personnel also proved to be of inestimable value. The iifth of April found the detachment embarked for WESTPAC two weeks earlier than planned. This put a severe crimp in last minute plans for maintenance, training and leave. However, all hands pitched in to meet the new LCDR I. G. MCINTYRE OFFICER IN CHARGE deployment date. Now all hands are looking forward to the rest of the cruise, the work and pleasures that lie ahead, but most of all the day we arrive back in CONUS. Upon departing CONUS our first stop was Hawaii. Here we received our four-day ORI and took advantage of some good liberty. Departing Hawaii after the ORI we steamed directly to Cubi Point-in the Philippines. Here we spent one day prior to departing for special operations in the South China Sea. After 29 days we returned to the Philippines. Everyone was glad to feel earth underfoot again and en- joyed a well-deserved rest. On the ninth of june we departed Cubi Point again for special operations. Here we remained until 24 July when we arrived in Yokosuka, japan. Together with our maintenance program and an extensive liberty schedule, a good time was had by all.

U 1 U g DETACHMEN T HISTORY Light Photographic Squadron Sixty-three Detachment Golf was formed early in 1965 and on 1 April 1965 ofiicially became a part of Attack Carrier Air Wing Sixteen, to remain so attached through- out the 1965 cruise aboard the USS ORISKANY QCVA-34j. The detachment was equipped with three RF-SA Photo Crusader aircraft capable of utilizing six cameras simultaneously while taking high quality photography from the surface to above 40,000 feet at speeds in excess of the speed of sound. To fly the aircraft the de- tachment has four highly qualified pilots. To assess the recon- naissance photography and prepare first phase photo interpreta- tion reports detachment golf has one skilled photo intelligence officer. To keep the aircraft flying - the cameras running title, plot, and annotate the film, the detachment has thirty-two highly motivated, skilled, and hard-working enlisted men. This was the Det Golf team where All For One and One For All was the everyday order to provide the best photography possible and to further enhance the VFP status as truly The Eyes of the Fleet. , 23 l E 1 , 1 I CJ LCDR.

Skeen, Ollicer-in-charge 28 May 1965 To Present Heavy Attack Squadron Four, Detachment Golf has distinguished itself in many ways during this 1965 West- Pac cruise. Det. Golf was the first Heavy Attack unit to utilize the A3B in the roll of dive bombing and close air support. Innovations of equipment for this new bombing method include using Douglas A4 gunsights and multiple carriage bomb racks. During the cruise a tanker version of the A3B was re- ceived by Det. Golf as a replacement for a skywarrior last off the port catapult. This is the first ASB tanker to operate on a permanent basis from a carrier of the OR- ISKANY'S class. ' The centurion mark was quickly reached and surpassed by the three permanent Det. Golf crews. Air medals were awarded to all the crews for their meritorious achieve- ments in aerial Hight during the 1965 cruise. LCDR. R. B. WALLS and LTJG. D. ADAMS were with Detachment Golf until their unfortunate accident on May 25, 1965. Both suffered broken legs when their A5B crashed into the water after a catapult launch.

In the 1920's he helped found empire stretched the full length of the Indochinese Penin- sula. Through the centuries many wars were fought against the mighty Chinese Empire to the north. Sometimes the wars were successful, sometimes not. As the centuries passed the people of Dai Nam absorbed culture and science from the Chinese but adapted them to their own environ- ment and thus established a national art, literature and culture of their own. AN ANCIENT CIVILIZATION What is today Viet Nam had been a civilized nation for a very long time when, in the middle of the last century, the French decided to add Indochina to their own expand- ing empire. The Vietnamese, Laotians and Cambodians resisted the French invasion but were doomed to failure. Their biggest problem was their inability to unite against the French. There had never been any cohesion among the diverse peoples of Indochina and even faced with conquest by France, they refused to trust or cooperate with each other. So it happened that much of Indochina became French colonies. The French permitted native kings to remain on their thrones but merely as figureheads. After a century of French rule, the Indochina colonies were thoroughly permeated with French influence, many of the leading native citizens having been educated in France. Yet, throughout the century of harsh French rule the people continued to resist their foreign masters, often with armed rebellion. the Communist Party of France and thus began a long career of service to communism. His name was Ho Chi Minh. RED DAWN IN ASIA World War II was Ho Chi Minh's ticket to fame and suc- cess. He organized guerilla bands to harass the occupying Japanese army. By war's end the Viet Minh had become a formidable guerilla army, ready to tackle France's colonial forces. Freed from Nazi domination, France's attention in 1945 again turned to its overseas empire. Determined that the French Empire should last forever, the Paris govern- ment poured troops and war material into Indochina to stem the rising tide of nationalism. Under the guise of nationalism and with aid from Russia and the Red Chinese forces of Mao Tse Tung, the Viet Minh rallied the Vietnamese people to the cause of free- dom from France. The war in the jungles, mountains and swamps dragged on for many years. Then, in 1949, the 2 4 red conquest of China was completed. Now Mao Tse Tung was able to channel more and better equipment to his southern ally. Red China was also an open highway for Russian aid to Ho Chi Minh. The French gave Ho his chance for final victory in 1954 by grossly underestimating the size and strength of the Viet Minh and by choosing to make a decisive stand in the inaccessable heart of the Viet Minh stronghold. At Dien Bien Phu 40,000 well-armed Viet Minh, backed by modern artillery, surrounded and crushed the French forces. The gallant but futile action at Dien Bien Phu broke the back of French colonial rule and led to a con- ference at Geneva aimed at restoring peace to Indochina. 2 '-ini . 1-fn--A-A-k..nw was ' ' ' 'Hung ' 1r'e 1 ' -ahrehe .1 , K . 1 . l ' I l 7 fi . . fa l ii l l l 1 1 i l !

I, l'ioCllln3' THE PEACE TREATY gave North Viet Nam to Ho Chi Minh's communists. The South was to choose its own form of government. Ho Chi Minh and Red China ac- cepted this treaty only because they were sure the South would fall into their hands within months anyway. To their surprise, the Southern Republic began to thrive and daily showed less inclination to trust its future to Hanoi and Peking. After it became obvious that the expected economic and civil chaos wasn't going to occur under the able leadership of President Diem, the reds decided they'd have to help it along. Hanoi ordered red agents, planted in the South long before, to dig up their weapons and begin a campaign of murder, destruction and terror. With- in a few years after the campaign began more than a thousand village and province leaders had been murdered or kidnapped. Other victims were school teachers, agricul- tural experts - anyone important to the continued growth and progress of the independent South. Again Hanoi was disappointed. The thousands of murders and kidnappings, the sabotage of vital facilities, still didnit result in the collapse of the Republic. Then the active recruitment and training of Viet Cong guerillas went into full swing. Thousands of dissatisfied or adventure-seeking young peasants were smuggled north to be turned into soldiers. A steady stream of military supplies began flow- ing south from Hanoi and Peking. Mao Tse Tung's drive to conquer Asia, with the help of Ho Chi Minh, was off to a flying start, showing ,much more promise than the unsatisfactory Korean affair. AN AMERICAN COMMITMENT To prevent this North Vietnamese conquest of the South in complete violation of the Geneva agreement, the United States has been supplying ever-increasing amounts of aid, both military and economic, to the Republic of Viet Nam. As the American effort to stem communist aggression in- creased, the Viet Cong and Hanoi stepped up their military and terrorist activities. TO THE PILOTS OF ORISKANY'S CARRIER AIR CONSISTED OF ONE WORD . . . ' 2 4 In February of 1965 it was the decision of the President of the United States that North Viet Nam could no longer enjoy the privilege of exporting death and destruction to its southern neighbor while remaining unscathed within its own borders. To convince Hanoi to leave its neighbors alone, appropriate forces were ordered into action against the communist war-making capability.

BY MAY THE UNITED STATES SEVENTH FLEET had become a major participant in the Viet Nam conflict. In addition to air support, other Navy contributions to the war effort included almost daily fire support missions against Viet Cong concentrations in South Viet Nam by Seventh Fleet ships and construction of airfield facilities by Navy Seabees. Within the Republic Navymen are serv- ing as advisers to Vietnamese forces, manning river patrol craft and the junk forces which patrol the coast against communist resupply and reinforcement by sea from North Viet Nam and Red China. The Task Force 77 carrier group included, besides OR- ISKANY, USS MIDWAY, USS CORAL SEA, USS BON HOMME RICHARD and, later, USS INDEPENDENCE and USS TICONDEROGA. On May 8th ORISKANY aircraft fired their first shots in anger since the Korean War at communist targets in South Viet Nam. From the beginning the Big O operated at an extraordinary pace, often flying more than 130 sorties a day, delivering more than 100 tons of ordnance a day on communist targets. The first sea period proved in- dicative of the rugged tempo of combat operations that would be maintained throughout six-and-a-half months in Viet Nam waters. For ORISKANYMEN, working 18 or more hours a day, seven days a week for sea periods of 40 days and more became routine. The strenuous combat work load had also to be achieved under the most arduous con- ditions of unrelenting tropical heat, night and day, short- age of water and other comfort commodities and extra heavy operational demands. In spite of this the Big O never failed to meet a single day's combat commitment. On tbese pages some of the targets struck by ORISKANY aircraft are pictured. These represent only a tiny sampling of the vast number of communist targets damaged or destroyed by ORlSKANY's Carrier Air Wing 16. 4 This North Vietnamese highway bridge was twisted and moved 20 feet sideways off its foundation by bombs from the Big O.
