FOR MORE THAN A DECADE, PHM SAILORS HAVE REMAINED EVER VIGILANT AND READY TO DEFEND OUR NATION AND OUR NATIONAL INTERESTS. FROM HAWAII, TO THE CARIBBEAN, TO NOVA SCOTIA, PHMS HAVE NEVER BEEN RELUCTANT TO "FLY" IN HARM'S WAY AND HAVE CARRIED OUR FLAG PROUDLY WHILE PROJECTING AMERICAN POWER IN THE DEFENSE OF DEMOCRACY. 2. IN THE COURSE OF OPERATIONAL EMPLOYMENTS COVERING PERIODS OF BOTH PEACE AND HOSTILITIES, FROM PARTICIPATION IN OPERATION URGENT FURY TO AGRESSOR TRAINING FOR OUR MIDDLE EAST DEPLOYERS, PHMS HAVE PLAYED PAGE 02 RUENAAA2340 UNCLAS MANY VITAL ROLES. OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS, THEY HAVE SET AN ADMIRABLE RECORD IN COUNTER DRUG OPERATIONS, SEIZING OVER 220 THOUSAND POUNDS OF MARIJUANA AND 11 THOUSAND POUNDS OF COCAINE. THESE SHIPS, REPRESENTING ABOUT 3 PERCENT OF THE SURFACE NAVY, HAVE ACCOUNTED FOR OVER 28 PERCENT OF ALL SURFACE NAVY-ASSISTED DRUG SEIZURES. YOUR IMAGINATION, DETERMINATION AND PRIDE HAVE MAINTAINED YOUR SHIPS AS WELL-HONED, HIGHLY VISIBLE AND EFFECTIVE MEANS OF PROJECTING NATIONAL POWER. 3. THE DECOMMISSIONING OF ANY U.S. WARSHIP IS A SAD OCCASION FOR ALL THOSE WHO HAVE FAITHFULLY SERVED HER. THE FINAL DAYS ABOARD AND THE DECK LOG ENTRY TO SECURE THE LAST WATCH HAVE A SPECIAL SIGNIFICANCE ONLY UNDERSTOOD BY THE DECOMMISSIONING CREW. THE PHMS WILL NO LONGER BE IN SERVICE BUT THEY WILL LIVE ON IN THE MEMORIES OF THOSE WHO TOOK THE BATTLE TO THE ENEMY AT FOILBORNE SPEED. 4. TO THOSE OFFICERS AND MEN WHO WALK THE PHM DE-CKS FOR THE LAST TIME AND PARTICIPATE IN THE DECOMMISSIONING CEREMONIES OF THE "FLYING GRAY TERRORS," YOU BROUGHT A NEW DIMENSION TO SURFACE WARFARE AND HAVE SERVED YOUR COUNTRY WELL.

It is a dedication to the operational success of the ship and the men who sailed in her. This solemn ceremony is the point where the commissioning pennant, ensign and jack are hauled down and the watch is secured for the last time. Although the ship is no longer in service, part of her will live on in the experiences of her crew members, past and present. THE COMMJSSIONING PENNANT The origin of the commissioning pennant is to date to the 17th century when the Dutch were fighting the English. Admiral Tromp hoisted a broom at his masthead to indicate his intention to sweep the English from the sea. The gesture was soon answered by the English admiral who hoisted a horsewhip, to indicate his intention to chastise the Dutch. The British carried out their boast and ever since, the narrow, or coachwhip pennant (symbolizing the original horsewhip) has been the distinctive mark of the ship of war and has been adopted by all nations.

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.
