  • Vice Admiral Henry C. Mustin Furthered the Family Reputation for Service to Country
    Introduction Born into an illustrious naval family, Vice Admiral Henry C. Mustin furthered the family reputation for service to country. His grandfather, the first Henry C., is considered by many as the father of naval aviation, having established an air station at Pensacola, being the first to be catapulted off a ship, and being the first American aviator ever to take on live fire. His father, Lloyd, would have a notable career of his own as a "blackshoe," retiring as a Vice Admiral. As will be seen in the narrative, Mustin's father served as one of several life-long mentors. A detailed discussion of this family is contained in the final transcript. Graduating the Naval Academy in 1955, Mustin received orders to a Pacific Fleet destroyer followed by a tour as C.O. on a Mayport-based mine hunter and quickly honed his seamanship skills that prepared him to for a remarkable and varied career in the Navy during the Cold War. There are several areas of note in this oral history. First and foremost, Mustin was a naval warrior who helped bring on line new weapon systems and developed tactics and training methods for their employment. As a Lieutenant, he assisted creating early AAW doctrine; as a Vice Admiral he developed components of the Maritime Strategy. He had a hand in training evolutions such as Damage Control Olympics, NavTag, Surface Training Week, and pierside workups. During the Vietnam War, Mustin had a Pug Henry "Winds of War" experience, witnessing the conflict from Saigon, the Mekong Delta, as an aide to CinCPac, and as C.O.
