reaching the limits of their search area, ENS Reid and his navigator, ENS Swan decided to push their search a little farther. When he spotted small specks in the distance, he promptly radioed Midway: “Sighted main body. Bearing 262 distance 700.” PBYs could carry a crew of eight or nine and were powered by two Pratt & Whitney R-1830-92 radial air-cooled engines at 1,200 horsepower each. The aircraft was 104 feet wide wing tip to wing tip and 63 feet 10 inches long from nose to tail. Catalinas were patrol planes that were used to spot enemy submarines, ships, and planes, escorted convoys, served as patrol bombers and occasionally made air and sea rescues. Many PBYs were manufactured in San Diego, but Reid’s aircraft was built in Canada. “Strawberry 5” was found in dilapidated condition at an airport in South Africa, but was lovingly restored over a period of six years. It was actually flown back to San Diego halfway across the planet – no small task for a 70-year old aircraft with a top speed of 120 miles per hour. The plane had to meet FAA regulations and was inspected by an FAA official before it could fly into US airspace.

He was doing what he loves in Afghanistan as part of the 405th Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron — picking up critically wounded patients and “keeping them alive until we can get them to the higher echelon of care,” he said Friday at the De- ployment Transition Center at Ramstein, where service mem- bers decompress after an over- seas deployment and are given the tools they need to ease back into life at home. Rescigno’s commander at Ba- gram had recommended that he pass through the DTC on the way home so that he could let go of some of the stress he and his unit were under in Afghanistan.

Another example of a mission ready ship because of a U.S. Navy Port Engineer USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) Hosts Micronesian Officials Story Number: NNS180410-04Release Date: 4/10/2018 9:19:00 AM By Ensign Emma Gray,USS Michael Murphy Public Affairs PACIFIC OCEAN (NNS) -- Sailors from USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) met with local officials while the ship was operating off the coast of Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia (FSM), April 7. During the event, the ship hosted officials from FSM for a tour and discussion with Michael Murphy's senior leadership. Guests included government officials from the FSM Department of Foreign Affairs and the Pohnpei State Department of Emergency Management. U.S. and Australian ambassadors to FSM were also in attendance. Additionally, 35 Michael Murphy crew members went ashore for a community service event, where they played softball with the local residents. Michael Murphy is conducting a regularly scheduled deployment to the Western Pacific with the Carl Vinson Strike Group. The ship made port visits to Guam and the Philippines before beginning an Oceania Maritime Security Initiative (OMSI) patrol in March. The Arleigh Burke-class guide-missile destroyer was commissioned in 2012 and is named after former U.S. Navy SEAL Lt. Michael P. Murphy. Murphy was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for his heroic actions during Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan, June 28, 2005. He was the first person to be awarded the medal for actions in Afghanistan and was the first member of the U.S. Navy to receive the award since the Vietnam War.
