DECEMBER 2020 the USS TICONDEROGA Veterans’ Association NEWS VOLUME 47 NO 4 CV / CVA / CVS-14 CG-47 DECEMBER 2020 The USS TICONDEROGA Veterans’ Association NEWS VOLUME 47 NO 4 THE 50th REUNION WILL BE UNFORGETTABLE! IN ORDER TO RECEIVE NEWSLETTERS, YOU MUST BE CURRENT ON YOUR MEMBERSHIP. (DUES MUST BE PAID) PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE GREETINGS TO ALL SHIPMATES, FAMILY AND FRIENDS, Well it has been six months since we were unable to get together in Portland for Our Reunion. Sorry to say the world’s health situation has not improved and many countries are now going in to full lockdown for hopefully short periods of time! Just like when we were aboard ship make sure your vaccinations are up to date! I hate shots but recently received the first of two ShingRix shots! Friend of mine recently had case of shingles and it was painful he told me! Please Don’t neglect your health thinking you need to stay away from doctors office because of pandemic. Here in the Lower Hudson Valley Fall Colors are amazing! It has been a few years where we had such a colorful fall season. Hopefully this is a sign that things will improve! The Doubletree by Hilton Norfolk Airport staff is enthusiastically waiting to welcome our Association this coming May. They are taking all steps to keep us safe during our reunion. I will be speaking to our tour company to determine if they need to adjust any of our tours. All of the attractions in Norfolk are at this time in operation. I know that DOD Bases in the beginning of the pandemic were off limits except for base personnel! Hopefully this part of tour will be available but the pandemic infection rate is so fluid only time will tell. Normally Our Hospitality Room has food and drinks available when it is open. Because of the pandemic any snacks will need to be individually wrapped and soda/ beer will be in individual cans not bottles. We will take every precaution to keep our hospitality room sanitary & infection free. I am extremely encouraged by the number of new shipmates on Facebook ,from both CV/CVA/CVS-14 & CG-47 , who have shown great interest on attending our 50th Reunion in Norfolk. Myself and My Fellow Officers want to do everything possible to have this reunion happen. On a Very Sad note Bill Spanbauer’s Father passed away on Wednesday evening, October 21,2020. I was looking forward to meeting Bill’s Father at our Portland Reunion but unfortunately it had to be canceled. We send our condolences to Bill, His Mother and entire family! May he Rest In Peace!

Throughout the course of the war, Leviathan transported more than 98,000 troops. Naval History and Heritage Command 1 United States Navy and World War I: 1914–1922 Frank A. Blazich Jr., PhD Naval History and Heritage Command Introduction This document is intended to provide readers with a chronological progression of the activities of the United States Navy and its involvement with World War I as an outside observer, active participant, and victor engaged in the war’s lingering effects in the postwar period. The document is not a comprehensive timeline of every action, policy decision, or ship movement. What is provided is a glimpse into how the 20th century’s first global conflict influenced the Navy and its evolution throughout the conflict and the immediate aftermath. The source base is predominately composed of the published records of the Navy and the primary materials gathered under the supervision of Captain Dudley Knox in the Historical Section in the Office of Naval Records and Library. A thorough chronology remains to be written on the Navy’s actions in regard to World War I. The nationality of all vessels, unless otherwise listed, is the United States.

  • Additional Historic Information the Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish
    USS Hornet Sea, Air & Space Museum Additional Historic Information The Doolittle Raid (Hornet CV-8) Compiled and Written by Museum Historian Bob Fish AMERICA STRIKES BACK The Doolittle Raid of April 18, 1942 was the first U.S. air raid to strike the Japanese home islands during WWII. The mission is notable in that it was the only operation in which U.S. Army Air Forces bombers were launched from an aircraft carrier into combat. The raid demonstrated how vulnerable the Japanese home islands were to air attack just four months after their surprise attack on Pearl Harbor. While the damage inflicted was slight, the raid significantly boosted American morale while setting in motion a chain of Japanese military events that were disastrous for their long-term war effort. Planning & Preparation Immediately after the Pearl Harbor attack, President Roosevelt tasked senior U.S. military commanders with finding a suitable response to assuage the public outrage. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a difficult assignment. The Army Air Forces had no bases in Asia close enough to allow their bombers to attack Japan. At the same time, the Navy had no airplanes with the range and munitions capacity to do meaningful damage without risking the few ships left in the Pacific Fleet. In early January of 1942, Captain Francis Low1, a submariner on CNO Admiral Ernest King’s staff, visited Norfolk, VA to review the Navy’s newest aircraft carrier, USS Hornet CV-8. During this visit, he realized that Army medium-range bombers might be successfully launched from an aircraft carrier.

  • Members of the USNA Class of 1963 Who Served in the Vietnam War
    Members of the USNA Class of 1963 Who Served in the Vietnam War. Compiled by Stephen Coester '63 Supplement to the List of Over Three Hundred Classmates Who Served in Vietnam 1 Phil Adams I was on the USS Boston, Guided Missile Cruiser patrolling the Vietnam Coast in '67, and we got hit above the water line in the bow by a sidewinder missile by our own Air Force. ------------------- Ross Anderson [From Ross’s Deceased Data, USNA63.org]: Upon graduation from the Academy on 5 June 1963, Ross reported for flight training at Pensacola Naval Air Station (NAS) which he completed at the top of his flight class (and often "Student of the Month") in 1964. He then left for his first Southeast Asia Cruise to begin conducting combat missions in Vietnam. Landing on his newly assigned carrier USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) at midnight, by 5 am that morning he was off on his first combat mission. That squadron, VF-154 (the Black Knights) had already lost half of its cadre of pilots. Ross' flying buddy Don Camp describes how Ross would seek out flying opportunities: Upon our return on Oct 31, 1965 to NAS Miramar, the squadron transitioned from the F-8D (Crusader) to the F4B (Phantom II). We left on a second combat cruise and returned about Jan 1967. In March or April of 1967, Ross got himself assigned TAD [temporary additional duty] to NAS North Island as a maintenance test pilot. I found out and jumped on that deal. We flew most all versions of the F8 and the F4 as they came out of overhaul.
