THE SALLY AND HER MISSION To most people, the phrase naval aviation H brings to mind a picture of a division of attack carriers, steaming in the center of a large task force, launching flights of jet and attack aircraft for strikes against the enemyg and of most, the advantages of this type of air warfare lie in the mobility of the carrier task force, and in its ability to operate independently of shore bases at almost any spot on the high seas. Yet. there are not so many who realize that this same mobility of operations is realized fto a lesser extent, perhapsj by the Navy's waterbased patrol aircraft, thereby giving them some very definite advantages over landbased reconnaissance aircraft. A land plane unit can be rendered useless by the destruction of its airstrips, ship and hangar facilities. All that is needed to set up a fully operational seadrome is a protected bay and a tender, and from that one or two squadrons of patrol aircraft can be operated without a shore base. Such a mobile operating unit is the USS SALISBURY SOUND CAV-131, one of the three CURRITUCK class AV's currently in commission. Together with her sisters, the USS PINE ISLAND CAV-121 and the U.S.S. CURRITUCK CAV-7J she has been operating for several years as the flagship for the Taiwan Patrol Force, and in that time has undergone con- version to handle both PBM's and P5M's. She is a self-sustaining unit, and has proved herself to be capable of handling almost every eventuality which might arise in her assigned mission of handling aircraft. With a comple- ment of some 650 men and 30 officers, she offers services to her aircraft which include almost every phase of maintenance and flight operations. Her air department is charged with the function of servicing, over-hauling, and repairing the aircraft with which she operates. Upon landing at the seadrome, an aircraft is taken over by the ship for refueling, rearming, and any maintenance which may be necessary. The operations department is equipped with electronic navigational aids for the aircraft, and her CIC can land and launch planes in limited visibility, using the technique of the TCA Ctender controlled approachj. In addition to this, the department maintains an aerological section and an intelligence section for the briefing and debriefing of pilots and flight crews. The supply department must carry both ship and aviation spares, and the connnissary Officer must always be ready to feed unexpected guests when operating conditions dictate the basing of squadron personnel aboard for long periods of time. The USS SALISBURY SQUND was built by the Los Angeles Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Corporation at San Pedro, California. She was commissioned on 26 November 1945. Some of the factual data concerning the ship is as follows: Length 540 feet Beam 71 feet Displacement 13,650 tonsg normal load, 14,500 tons Power Plant Twin screws, powered by four boilers capable of delivering 12,000 horsepower Crew Peacetime crew of about 650 men and 30 oflicers
