S7 ,VMI x 22 lVlore than any other one person aboard, the man who brings Captain Lang's job within the realm of human possibility is Commander Robert P. Bob lVloKenzie, SARA's Executive Gffioer. A man of prodigious ability and seemingly limitless stamina, he is always on the go . . . inspiring that extra effort from all hands . . . Throughout the ship, his f-Way to go, Tiger! is the byword for a job well done. 23 3 l I i These two fine men will combine their efforts to accomplish SARATOGA's first and foremost mission . . . to convey the Air Wing aboard to within striking range of its target. From there on the responsibility for the successful conclusion of a mission rests with CAG . . . Commander Grover Bull Walker, Commander, Carrier Air Wing Three.

These men work above the flight deck keeping a constant vigil from the bridge with one purpose in mind: to get us through our water high- ways safely and correctly. These all important functions are ac- complished with such devices as sextants, charts and radar. The men are skilled in piloting, dead reckoning, long range and celestial navigation. ln addition, the Navigation Officer is responsible for seeing that correct protocol is followed when rendering honors to digni- taries and that the proper en- signs are flying before entering or departing from a foreign port: this then is the Navigation Department. l 1 s Y , X s rl . 1, 4 'ss--J Morgan, Berry, 9 Knighton, Feger, Whittle, Griffin ,ff , K wi X . ifilek i I, l, I 6 gl: ' Q fi E! iii' A m , M .

Commissioned as VF-1B in 1935 flying the Boeing F48-4, the squadron operated from the Navy's first carrier, USS LANGLEY CCV-15. Today the Tomcatters proudly display Felix the Cat on the modern F4l3's, the twin jet PHANTOM ll all weather fighter-bombers. ln its 31 year history, VF-31 participated in most of the major battles of the Pacific theater during World War ll, shot down one of the few lVllG- 15's destroyed by Navy pilots in Korea and flew combat air patrol during the explosive Lebanon and Cuban crises. Steeped in a wealth of history and tradition and now on their twelfth Mediterranean cruise the Tomcatters submit to only one finish other than first they are the second oldest Navy fighter squadron.

OA Division provides .meteo- rological services for air,lsur- face and sub-surface operations. Its forecasts are a prime factor in ship's operations. The responsibility for depar- ture and approach control rests with OC Division. The division also handles the dispatch and receipt of passengers and cargo. OE Division performs the functions of inspection, repair, and maintenance of electronics gear, including radar and com- munications equipment. Ol Division maintains a con- stant alert for any approaching danger to the ship. Clearing the shipping lanes, air defense and radar navigation are their spe- cialties. OP Division is composed of two sections - IOIC and the Photographic Laboratory. IOIC processes aerial photography and processes and stores in. telligence information. The Photo Lab covers flight deck DDOIOSVGDDY. portraits, l.D 5 PAO photography and, 'ml course,cruisebookphotography. 2 OPERATIONS OFFICER CDR Nelson S bin AIR OPERATIONS OFFICER CDR David T.

Fighting 103 transitioned to the F48 in August 1965 and is currently on her first cruise with this versatile and complex all weather fighter.

The union was one of conve- nience, and is still marked by occasional skirmishes between boatswainmates and ordnance- men, although many old wounds have been healed, and order restored by the need for coop- eration in combating the Air Department. Levity aside, it remains true that within Weapons there is such a variety of rates and skills that, wherever you might find yourself, whether it be maga- zines, messdecks, flight deck, fantail or forecastle Cthat's fo'c's'D, you would be in posi- tion to observe some Weapons division at work keeping TOGA ready for action. At sea the deck force is busy taking on fuel, ordna or provisions from other alongside, in port they are pied with shuttling boats so crew can go on liberty, or are simply carrying out the less round of chipping, sa and painting the infinite ex panse of haze gray surfaces that the SARATOGA has to offer av deck seaman. On the other hand, a day in, the life of an ordnanceman is no bed of roses. Nights Spent pushing bombs across the hanger deck, the days when the nineteenth consecutive check on the fire control system stil doesn't discover the bad relayii and Chopsticks, which seemS21' ways to be called away betweeni midnight and dawn, are OW. L ordinary jobs for these highlft trained and dedicated men- f L x .T za- .3 t fag Ji 2 Eli .iq ii ' sf 1,7 A .Y p i'- tr. But the most specialized men in Weapons, those chosen es- pecially for duty at sea, are 5ARATOGA's lVlarines. ln every sense an active force, they can be seen mornings drilling on the hanger deck, or as orderlies, following the Captain or the XO on their lightning tours about the ship, or on watch anywhere, maintaining the vital network of ship's security. On the next few pages are some ot the Weapons personnel who made the '66 lVled Cruiseg that SARATOGA is battle ready, and prepared to defend our country in any emergency, is due largely to their hard work and constant vigilance.

Its sphere of responsibility en- compasses the entire ship. The Auxiliary Division is truly the jack-of-all-trades within Engineering. Its responsibility ranges from the anchor wind- Iess aft to the steering engines. From pump rooms on the seventh deck up to and including the ship's whistle. Within these boundaries, it services air con- ditioning, refrigeration, steam heat, hydraulic power and in addition manufactures the oxy- gen and nitrogen used by the SARATOGA and her aircraft. B Division supplies the key to all movement by the SARA- TOGA. With its eight powerful boilers it produces the steam that can simultaneously de- liver the 70,000 shaft horse- power to her propellers, catapult aircraft, supply steam to pro- duce electricity and fresh water, and heat for the ship. CHIEF ENGINEER CDR Donald W. Jones E Division supplies the ship with electricity. With its eight switch boards, located through- out the ship, it controls and distributes power. In addition, E Division is responsible fOr repair and upkeep of electric motors, lighting, interior com- munication equipment, ship'S address system and sound powered telephones. It also maintains the ship's gyro com- passes and repeaters. IVI Division is primarily respon- X,-2' l VW. L , 'S ' uf 1... - L' 7 if l i A I W gf- - it if.. A gem.-iv Q f .9 ,, f 'S N-Q K Q 1 Q.

Erskine, Kaufman - i nv 'U .if VA- 106 Attack Squadron ONE HUN- DRED SIX had its origin as Fighter-Bomber Squadron SEV- ENTEEN in January 1945. The squadron received the first of a long and outstanding line of meritorious awards by receiving the Presidential Unit Citation for action against the Japanese during World VVar ll. Redesig- nated as Fighter Squadron SIX BAKER, the Gladiators set the landing interval record of 20.2 seconds for twenty-six air- craft aboard USS CORAL SEA in 1948. Again renamed Fighter Squadron SIXTY-TWO in 1950, they earned the Battle Efficiency Pennant for that year. l-laving completed operations in Korea, the squadron continued its in- tensive training and was desig- nated Attack Squadron ONE HUNDRED SIX in 1955. Always excelling, the Gladiators again earned the Battle Efficiency Pennant in 1956, and in 1957 set a record for individual E's won by any Jet Attack Squadron during one training cycle. Add- ing to its awards a second place in the Air Weapons lVleet in 1958, the Atlantic Fleet record for jet landings in one day, CNO Safety Award in 1959, COIVINAVAIRLANT E thesame year, the E award for NAT exercises in 1960, and the Bull pup missile Top Shot EIWH in 1964, the Gladiators continued their theory that ' an award is good enough exist, it's good enough to W VA-106 is currently the ho of the CNO Aviation Award for Atlantic Fleet jetl attack squadrons.

VAW- 12 DETACHIVIENT 60 CARRIER AIRBORNE EARLY WARNINGSQUADRONTWELVE, the largest carrier based squad- ron on the East Coast was formed in 1948 at Norfolk, Vir- ginia. Shortly thereafter the squadron was moved to NAS Quonset Point, Rhode Island, and designated as Composite Squadron Twelve. In 1956, the squadron was redesignated to its present title and returned to Seaplane Hangar One, NAS Nor- folk, Virginia in September 1962. The early warning aircraft flown by VAW-12 have included the Grumman TBIVI Aven er 8 and the Douglas Ad Skyraider .

There are two basic elements involved with the functions of the division, namely, the establishment of circuits for receiving and send- ing messages externally of the ship, and the dissemination and receipt of messages within the ship. The first element requires a high degree of skill and knowl- edge in the operation of radio transmitters, receivers and their components. Accordingly, the Navy has seen fit to utilize her schools commands to train SARATOGA radiomen in these fields. The second element in the function of the CR Division is that of preparing messages for transmission off the ship and for delivery within the ship. This task falls into the field of the communications yeoman, CONIIVIUNICATIDNS OFFICER LCDR Lowell H another product of the sc commands. Considering preparation of some 10 messages monthly, this is a job. CS Division is the other the two divisions that make the Communications ment. As opposed to the trical means employed bY CR Division people, CS D communicates utilizing methods. These methodS clude semaphore, flashing I Standing Foster, Ens, Kinum, Chief P.ilevnh Chia!
