American military power in the Far East had by then been reduced to a token force that was ill equipped to oppose the Soviet-backed North Korean military. The United States Air Force (USAF), which had been in the process of moving to an all-jet force in the region, responded immediately with what it had in Japan and Okinawa. The biggest problem for the USAF, however, was that its F-80 Shooting Star fighter-bombers lacked the range to hit North Korean targets, and their loiter time over enemy columns already in South Korea was severely restricted. This pointed to the need for the US Navy to bolster American air power in the region by deploying its aircraft carriers to the region.

  • Another Example of a Mission Ready Ship Because of a U.S. Navy Port Engineer
    Another example of a mission ready ship because of a U.S. Navy Port Engineer USS Boxer ARG completes amphibious landing drill in Djibouti on the Horn of Africa https://navaltoday.com/2019/08/28/boxer-arg-completes-amphibious-landing-drill-in-djibouti/ Boxer ARG is comprised of amphibious assault ship USS Boxer (LHD 4), amphibious transport dock USS John P Murtha (LPD 26), and amphibious dock landing ship USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49). Amphibious assault vehicles (AAVs) from the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) descended on Djibouti’s Arta Beach after departing the well deck of the amphibious dock landing ship USS Harpers Ferry (LSD 49) during an exercise to seize a fictional enemy objective. Maj. Victor Garcia, India Co., Battalion Landing Team (BLT) 3/5 company commander, explained that amphibious assaults are one of the MEU’s primary missions; a capability that makes the MEU one of the most lethal and responsive crisis response forces in the US defense department arsenal. Amphibious assault vehicles are one of the oldest and most reliable platforms in the Marine Corps. AAVs, or “tracks,” are essentially floating tanks that can seize or secure a beach head and enable more forces to flow ashore in the event of combat operations. The group is deployed to the US 5th Fleet area of operations in support of naval operations to ensure maritime stability and security in the Central Region, connecting the Mediterranean and the Pacific through the Western Indian Ocean and three strategic choke points. Webmaster’s Note: USS Boxer (LHD-4) is a Wasp-class amphibious assault ship of the United States Navy.

    Jordan Family Papers, 1941-2009 SCHS# 0601.00 Description: .25 linear feet (1 box) Background / Biographical Note: Correspondence, articles, and documents pertaining to the Jordan family. Three sons from this family- Nathan H. Jordan, Jr., Richard Jordan, and William Jordan- fought in World War II. The majority of the material relates to Nathan Haynes Jordan, Jr. (1918-1944), who joined the army in February 1942, trained at Camp Wheeler, Georgia for two years, sailed for the UK in July, 1944, and was deployed to France as a staff sergeant in Company M, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Division, U.S. Army. He was listed as Missing in Action on August 14, 1944 during fighting near Tinchebray, France, after being severely wounded. Over a year later, on August 15, 1945, he was officially declared dead after the discovery of his remains. With the news of his death came an extensive correspondence in the late 1940s between his parents and the Department of the Army to ascertain what happened to him, locate his burial site (Plot E, Row 10, Grave 14) at the Brittany American Cemetery and Memorial in St. James, France, and determine whether he had a will. In the end, the government was unable to locate a will, and returned to his family only the single British coin and pencil that had been found on his body- his “personal effects”. For his sacrifice, Nathan was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart on September 8th, 1945. Nathan’s two brothers also had notable military careers. The oldest, Richard Holmes Jordan (1917-1963), joined the U.S.

  • After the War and Korea
    BETWEEN WARS Updated 08/15/2012 CHRONOLOGY 1946 Commander in Chief = Harry S Truman 22 January CVG-17 became CVBG-17 – a MIDWAY-Class air group, while squadron designations were unchanged. The four squadrons of CVG-17 that had joined HORNET in January 1945 would change designations three times over the next three years: 1943 1946 1948 1950 VF-17 to VF-5B to VF-61 Jolly Rogers VBF-17 to VF-6B to VF-62 Gladiators VB-17 to VA-5B to VA-64 to VC-24 in 1949 VT-17 to VA-6B to VA-65 Fist of the Fleet VA-64 became VC-24 in 1949, then VS-24 in 1950 and disestablished in 1956. A new VA-64 would join the Air Group in February 1950 – ex-VF-131 (later VF-21) The squadron probably did not use the “Fist of the Fleet” title until June 1949, the same date it adopted the “Fist” patch. 30 January Ens. Richard Bion Kinney was killed while on a check-out flight in SB2C-5 (BuNo 83225). The aircraft entered a spin about 5 miles north of NAAS Fallon, but crashed after three or four partial recoveries. 1 February The squadron prepared to move to NAS Brunswick, Maine, transitioning from the TBM-3E to SB2C-4Es in preparation for AD-1 Skyraiders. March The squadron moved to NAS Brunswick and began transitioning to SB3C-4E/5 aircraft. 1 June NAAS Fallon was reduced to a caretaker status, only 11 months after the station reached its peak operations. 28 June The Air Group, including VT-17departed for Cleveland, Ohio for the air races.
