Hey Shipmate, I just got a glimpse of your
website. I'm really impressed. How in the world do you handle
advertising for all these people. I'm just completing my website and get
about 60 unique visitors a day. How many visitors are needed to think
about advertising, is it worth it? Any advice? Anyway, keep up the good
work. You provide something great for all of us veterans. BTW, I was on
the USS Oriskany 67-68, and on the USS Hancock 68-69. I miss Olongapo,
what about you? Dennis Lund Click Here's a website made by a member of VA-163 "Saints" onboard the USS Oriskany CVA-34 |

Aircraft Carrier Study Notes |

French Aircraft Carrier Bearn This is the dramatic story of the 1967 fire on board the USS Forrestal, which broke out during its service at Yankee Station off the coast of Vietnam. You'll read of (now senator) John McCain's narrow escape from death and of the crew's struggle as it battled for days to extinguish the fire - a struggle that in the end cost the lives of 134 men. |

The USS Langley - which entered service in 1922 as the first American aircraft carrier - through World War II battles at Midway, the Coral Sea, the Philippine Sea and North Africa, this book takes you through the design, development and operation of U.S. Navy aircraft carriers built prior to World War II the Essex class carriers, which became renowned for their "Sunday Punch" of 36 fighter planes, 36 dive bombers and 18 torpedo planes; the lighter Independence class Lake Michigan's Aircraft Carriers The story of the aircraft carriers USS Wolverine and USS Sable - the only fresh water, paddle-wheeled, coal-powered aircraft carriers in the world - which were based at Chicago's Navy Pier during WWII. At that time, the Navy needed to qualify pilots for aircraft carrier operations and since training stations in the Pacific and Atlantic would be prone to attack, it was decided to train the pilots on Lake Michigan. key battles on land, at sea, and in the air at sites such as Singapore, Tarawa Atoll, Guadalcanal, the Battle of the Philippine Sea, Midway, Kohima, Imphal, Iwo Jima, and Okinawa. While following pilots' firsthand reports of air strikes and dogfights across the Pacific, the author explores the U.S. Navy's critical transformation from its pre-war emphasis on battleships to its victory at Midway and beyond, when aircraft carriers brought an end to traditional naval warfare, though many in the public, the press, the Army, and even the president's inner circle refused to recognize it. The USS America (CV-66), a Kitty Hawk-class supercarrier that served from 1965 to 1996, aircraft including A-6 Intruders, E-2B Hawkeyes, F-14 Tomcats and F/A-18 Hornets the USS Independence (CV-62)- a Forrestal-class aircraft carrier launched in 1958 the story of the second-in-class USS Macon (ZRS-5) rigid airship - which, along with her sister ship USS Akron (ZRS-4), was the largest helium-filled airship ever built - and its capability as a flying aircraft carrier, from her construction in the early 1930s through her 1933 launch and 1935 demise. The story of the first-in-class USS Akron (ZRS-4) rigid airship - which, along with her sister ship USS Macon (ZRS-5), was the largest helium-filled airship ever built - and its capability as a U.S. Navy flying aircraft carrier, from her construction in the late 1920s through her experiments with aircraft launching and landing via trapeze and her 1933 demise. Because of their large size and extreme mass, ground-handling U.S. Navy airships was a risky proposition that too-often resulted in damage to the ships and injury - or even death - to American sailors. the USS Los Angeles at Lakehurst, the USS Macon at Moffett Field, K ship ground handling, ZPG 2 handling with mechanical mules >"Keep America First in the Air." The Story of the Airship features Army blimps including the spy-basket equipped TC-13, the semi-rigid RS-1 and the USS Macon. Blimps Go to Town highlights the Navy's entire 1937 airship fleet. Finally, Blimp Patrol, produced in Brazil, shows blimps in combat and rescue. The decision to retain airships in the U.S. Navy following WWII returned old K-ships to duty and inspired development of the more capable tri-tail ZS2G-1 and the larger "Nan" generation, including the ZPN-1, the ZPG-2 and the ZPG-3W. See the triumphs and tragedies of these airships from 1945-1962 and also learn of current plans to return airships to Naval service.
U.S. Navy F9C Sparrowhawks practice their "takeoffs" and "landings" from the giant USS Akron and USS Macon airships, which were truly the aircraft carriers of the sky.
The USS Macon, the U.S. Navy's "aircraft carrier in the sky" is expertly detailed right down to the giant craft's gondola, engines and the F9C-2 Sparrowhawk hanging from the trapeze. The 1920s saw bold innovations in aeronautics as the Europeans built a fleet of rigid airships. the story of how the United States tried to keep up, first by trying to purchase airships overseas then by building the USS Shenandoah, a copy of a German Zeppelin. Finally, war reparations enabled the U.S. to purchase the USS Los Angeles, the most successful U.S. airship, which served as an aeronautical test bed, observatory, naval scout and flying aircraft In driving rain, a Fairey Swordfish - the Fleet Air Arms' premier torpedo-bomber at the outbreak of World War II - prepares for takeoff from a Merchant aircraft carrier (MAC) to protect a North Atlantic convoy. SBD Dauntlesses and F4F Wildcats from the aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CV-4) attack German shipping in Norway's Bodo harbor on October 4, 1943. F-14A Tomcats from Fighter Squadron 2 (VF-2) - the "Bounty Hunters" from Miramar, California - surpass the speed of sound as they thunder by the aircraft carrier USS Ranger (CV-61). Sopwith Camels, each carrying 250-pound bombs, take to the skies from HMS Furious - the first dedicated aircraft carrier in the world - on a raid against the German Zeppelin sheds at Tondern. Carried out on July 19, 1918, this was the first successful bombing raid ever to be launched from a carrier. The Chance-Vought F4U Corsair was arguably the finest naval aviation fighter of its era. With a kill ratio of 11-to-1 in WWII combat, the Corsair proved superior in the air to almost every opposing aircraft it encountered |

She will mark San Diego's first major new visitor attraction in more than 20 years. She'll serve as the cornerstone of the revitalized North Embarcadero, the gateway to downtown. She'll join the Star of India and other historic and visitor attractions along the waterfront. We are currently planning to begin towing this great ship to San Diego from Bremerton Washington later this summer. She will stop on the way and be spruced up for her debut in San Diego in Fall 2003! In addition, our museum planning committee has completed its plan for opening-day, exhibits, features and demonstrations. In support of exhibits aircraft restoration is underway! Our first aircraft, an E-2C, has been fully restored. Work is also underway on our A-7 and A-6. We have also begun collecting photographs and cruise books for exhibit aboard MIDWAY. If you would like to consider donating artifacts to our collection, visit our Web site. We look forward to welcoming you aboard, |
