A portal to the past and a gateway to the future best describe my publications on U. S. Aircraft Carrier Deployments at  HYPERLINK "http://www.uscarrierhistory.com" http://www.uscarrierhistory.com The history of the USS Coral Sea (CV-43) and a tour of duty illustrate the life of a young sailor who was given responsibilities normally associated with senior officers. Every sailor stationed onboard Coral Sea from her commission October 1 1947, to her decommission in 1994, played a role in naval engagements and activities while in port state side or over seas. My name is Bruce Wayne Henion and I was onboard USS Coral Sea (CV-43) from December 1977 to August 1981. While stationed onboard the Coral Sea, I was known to thousands of sailors as the Green Sheet Man. I was the Operations Department Yeoman for three years and the Special Services Yeoman in port Bremerton, Washington for six months. I arranged ski trips for the crew. My fellow shipmates and I, along with other service members of the USS Nimitz (CVN-68), naval escort ships; Army Rangers, Air Force and Marines, all played a role in Operation Eagle Claw regardless of his duty. Now days I guess I would have to say his or her role. The Coral Sea left Singapore 29 January 1980 and was at sea for 7-days prior to relieving USS Midway (CVW-41) in the northern part of the Arabian Sea on 5 February 1980 in connection with the continuing hostage crisis in Iran. The Coral Sea traveled 6-days before entering a port, spending 89-days in the Indian Ocean and "GONZO" Station in the North Arabian Sea; while the USS Coral Sea (CV-43) was at sea a continuous 102-days. The Coral Sea crew was awarded the Sea Service Ribbon, Meritorious Unit Commendation and the Navy Expeditionary Medal. The Coral Sea story and tour of duty discloses events that have never been disclosed before. Imagine a movie with the crew of a pirate ship sharing moments in history with the Coral Sea would the crew of the Coral Sea be able to see the pirate ship? Is the pirate ship floating around traveling through time visiting the Coral Sea during events in history of significant interest or is the pirate ship the figment of the imagination of one sailor tasked with duties up and beyond the call of duty. Does the crew of the pirate ship help the Coral Sea without the Coral Sea knowing of the pirates ships presence through the sailor? Does the sailor communicate with the pirate ship by using old time flags or do the pirates come onboard not seen by the crew, hanging with the sailor. Does something happen that causes the Coral Sea CIC to report the presence of the pirate ship sailing to close to the ship without a minutes notice in the fog. Is the pirate ship boarded, fried upon or does the CO of the pirate ship make his presence known to the crew of the Coral Sea? Introducing fantasy to real life situations is Hollywoods cup of tea. My story is factual as is the history of the Coral Sea, yet once you have a factual foundation of the life and times of a sailor in a particular setting, during a particular time in history, the stories excitement is based on its content, bringing to bear the importance that one sailor can have to the commands mission. The stories of sailors are posted on the internet and their courageous actions, hardships endured and self sacrifice will never be forgotten and one day movies will be produced in association with historical events illuminating sailors roles in relationship to a particular commands mission.

VMFA-323 and 531 F-4Ns covered CVW-14 during a period of hectic West Coast fighter transition (Ref. 43). The Air Wing was comprised of six squadrons and two detachments (elements of a parent squadron) which, acting in concert, perform the vital functions of attack, air intercept and support. Carrier Air Wing FOURTEEN (CVW-14) was comprised of highly accurate, light-attack weapons platform incorporation a number intricate computer systems adding in the precise deliverance of a variety of ordnance as is the case in the A-7E Corasir, flown by the Shrikes of VA-94 and Redcocks of VA-22, both based at NAS Lemoore, Ca. in 1978. The first time onboard, CVW-14 embarked on Coral Sea in November 1979 in route to the Western Pacific. The air wings fighter arm was comprised of two U.S. Marine Corps fighter squadrons, flying F-4N Phantom IIs. The Death Rattlers of VMFA-323 and the Grey Ghosts of VMFA-531 joined the CVW-14 team, marking the first time since World War II that two Marine fighter squadrons comprised the fighter arm of a Navy Air Wing. They Grey Ghosts were normally a part of the 3rd Marine Air Wing home based at MCAS El Toro. Carrier Air Wing FOURTEEN (CVW-14) was comprised of highly accurate, light-attack weapons platform incorporation a number intricate computer systems adding in the precise deliverance of a variety of ordnance as is the case in the A-7E Corasir, flown by the Shrikes of VA-94 and Redcocks of VA-22, both based at NAS Lemoore, Ca. in 1978. The first time onboard, CVW-14 embarked on Coral Sea in November 1979 in route to the Western Pacific. The air wings fighter arm was comprised of two U.S. Marine Corps fighter squadrons, flying F-4N Phantom IIs. The Death Rattlers of VMFA-323 and the Grey Ghosts of VMFA-531 joined the CVW-14 team, marking the first time since World War II that two Marine fighter squadrons comprised the fighter arm of a Navy Air Wing. They Grey Ghosts were normally a part of the 3rd Marine Air Wing home based at MCAS El Toro. VMFA-323 and VMFA-531 joined Carrier Air Wing FOURTEEN officially on 1 July 1979, and for the first time since World War II, two Marine fighter squadrons deployed aboard a Pacific Fleet carrier. It was also the first time without a Navy fighter squadron in the air wing. Captain Dave Rogers, USN, assumed command of CVW-14 aboard the USS Enterprise when the wing had F-14A Tomcats in place of the F-4Ns deployed onboard the Coral Sea. Captain Rogers or CAG, qualified in the RF-8G Crusader while attached to the Enterprise, bringing a total of 12 different types of aircraft he flew during his tour aboard the USS Enterprise (CVN-65). Prior to Captain Rogers's assignment to the Coral Sea as CAG of CVW-14, CAG Rogers had flown 40 different types of military aircraft, with over 900 landings on 14 different carriers. The Snakes were commanded by LTCOL Dave Denton, and were last deployed overseas during the Vietnam War between 1965 and 1969. During World War II they were one of the most highly decorated Marine squadrons and downed 124 enemy aircraft during the Okinawa campaign. During the Korean conflict, a Snake Corsair shot down a North Korean MIG-15 in aerial combat. The Ghosts were commanded by LTCOL Gary Braun and were last deployed overseas in 1972 when they made a Mediterranean cruise in USS Forrestal (CVA-59). The squadron saw action in Vietnam deploying to DaNang in 1965. In 1978, the Ghosts received the Hanson Award in recognition of being the best fighter squadron in the Marine Corps. CVW-14's attack and early warning squadrons (VA-27, VA-97, VA-196 and VAW-113) have been with the wing for several years and made the USS Enterprise cruise. VA-27, commanded by Commander John McGrath, flew the A-7E Corsair II. VA-96, commanded by Commander Tom Woodka, flew the A-6F Intruder and VAW-113 under the command of Commander Dieter Olsen, flew the E-2B Hawkeye. Rounding out the air wing were VFP-63 Detachment 2 RF-8G's under the OinC, LCDR W. H. Reidelberger and HC-1 Detachment 3 SH-3's with LCDR Richard Sadlier as OinC.

On 19 November, the Iranians occupying the Teheran embassy free three American hostages: a woman and two black Marines. Ten more of the Americans are freed the following day (Ref. 1- Constellation). On 21 November 1979, USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) and her escort ships were directed to sail to the Indian Ocean to join USS Midway (CV-41) and her escort ships which were operating in the northern Arabian Sea (Ref. 1-Kitty Hawk). USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63) arrived on station on 3 December 1979, and with USS Midway (CV-41) provided the U.S. with A-6 Intruder and A-7 Corsair II attack aircraft and F-4 Phantom and the modern F-14 Tomcat fighter aircraft, which could respond to a variety of situations if called upon during the Iranian hostage crisis.
