possible largely because of thede- pendability of the MilitarySea TransportationService operations between the United States ports and the offloadingpoint in Vietnam. It is rare, indeed,that shipments arrive ondates not specified inthe establishedtime frame-despite a multitude of factors which can cause delays. Of course,not all militarymove- mentsare destined for Vietnam. Troops are rotated regularly so that menwho travel east this year, will return to the west next year.

Camera Catches Heroes on the Go Acts of hraoery are notuncommon occurrences aboard Navy ships, but it is a rarity when a single act is recorded on film in sequence, just zs it happened. One ouch act did occur aboard the aircraft carrier uss Hancock (CVA 19) during operations in the Gulf of Tonkin against Viet Cong forces. A 750-pound bomb broke loose from the rack of an A4 Skyhawk aircraft 2s it was being catapulted from the carrier. The bomb was armed, and it went tumbling down the flight deck of the ship, coming to restnear the front of the catapult. Immediate action by two members of an explosioeordnance disposal teamaverted what could have resulted in serious damage to the ship, when they rushed to the bomb as it rolled on the deck and defused it. The two were immediately joined by several other flight deck crewmen who helped them secure the bomb.

Rasher takes with her an outstanding combat record. Commissioned 8 Jun 1943, by the war’s end Rasher had accounted for 99,901 tons of enemy shipping sent to the bottom. This record was sec- ond only to that of uss Flasher (SS 249). Rasher was decommissioned in January 1947, but was taken out of mothballs in 1952 and converted to a radar picket submarine. Perch is a veteran of World War 11, the Korean conflict, and Vietnam. Shemade six war patrols during World War 11, ranging some 100,000 miles in enemy waters. In January 1948 she was redesig- nated a submarine transport after a brief period in mothballs. During the Korean conflict, Perch took part in a daring commando raid which earned thecrew the submarinecombat insignia. Perch was homeportedat Pearl Harbor,while Rasher’s homeport was San Diego.

Shortly after midnight a series of explosions rocked theship and opened her bottom to the sea. Tons of waterrushed through the holes to fill the engine room and two lower decks of the ship. The alertness and training of the watch-threemen- was demonstratedin the following few moments. They secured the en-

VA 125 Greets New Skyhawk The newest member of the Navy’s family ofA4 Skyhawk attack bomb- ers, the A4F,joined theFleet re- cently when the first of the new jets was deliveredto VA-125 at NAS Lemoore, Calif. The A4F is the sixth version of the Skyhawk series to be developed. Earlier models of the attack bomber are beingused extensively inNavy andMarine combat operations in Vietnam. The latest Skyhawk contains sev- eralimprovements over earlier ver- sions of the little jet. Forexample, anupper avionics compartment in- stalled aft of thecockpit gives it a new look. Other innovationsinclude nose wheel steering, wing-lift spoilers whichimprove performance in a cross wind, and a more powerful en- gine which develops 9300 pounds of thrust compared to the 8500-pound thrust engine of its predecessor. The A4F is also equipped with a zero-zero ejection system, so called because it will safely eject its pilot at zero altitude and zero speed, Designed for carrier operations, Skyhawks are less than half the size of many current jet fighters. For this reason, A4s canbe housed comfor- tably in carriers without folding the wings. Thebantamweight bombers are also highly adaptableto tactical missions, and are often flownfrom forwardlanding strips for closeair support. The A4Fweighs only about 10,000 pounds, butit cantake off fully loaded from a carrier at a gross weight of 24,500pounds, including a combat load of up to 8200 pounds of ordnance. More than1900 Skyhawks of all modelshave been delivered tothe Navy since the first of the aircraft went into service in 1956.

Can‘t Buy Buys Ballot‘s Law SIR: As a rule I canaccept varied definitions of certain terms, except one: the interpretation of Buys Ballot’s Law.

What isyour interpretation of this law?-E. J. D., BM1, USN. We wouldn’t presume to offer our own opinion. It’s one of the many sub- jects towhich we pretend no expert knowledge.

2 ALL HANDS TheCaptain and HisShip SIR: DoesNavy tradition oblige a commanding officer to go down with his ship?-C. A. S., SM1, USN. No. The U.S. Navy encourages its commanding officers, and everyone else on boarda sinking ship, to survive- not to engage in false heroics. A captain is, of course, expected to do everything possible to save his ship when it is in trouble. If it becomes necessary to abandon ship, Navy Regu- lations (Article 0778) instruct command- ing officers to be the last to leave. This admonition has, in fact,been included in NavyRegulations for more than a century. It is true that, in complying with this regulation, some captains have been unable to escape their sinking ships. Theirmotive, however, was duty-not dramatics.
