Wizards ready for 5th Fleet combat operations By Lt. ROY WALKER VAQ-133 Public Affairs

After a long two-month transit across the Pacific Ocean, the Wizards of VAQ-133 along with the rest of Carrier Air Wing Nine (CVW-9) and USS John C. Stennis (CVN 74) have finally begun what they have been training for since January: Combat operations in support of Operation New Dawn (OND) and Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Iraq and Afghanistan. The road to this point has not been without difficulty, and there have been numerous lessons learned along the way for everyone involved, but it has certainly been worth the

Ships go bump in the night By K ATHY REED Whidbey Crosswind

t some point, ghosts became fashionable. There are television series devoted to searching them out, a rather ironic state of affairs if one assumes the whole point of being a ghost is the mystery of it all, dancing just on the periphery of awareness. Whether or not you believe in ghosts, there are certainly an abundance of tales, especially at this time of year. Even the Navy has ghost stories. Two Navy ships are purported to be haunted — the USS Hornet (CV-12) and the USS Lexington (CV-16). Both are Essex class aircraft carriers commissioned in 1943. Both are now floating museums — the Lexington is in Corpus Christi, Texas, and the Hornet is in Alameda, Calif.

The Blue Ghost Even the USS Lexington’s nickname is spooky — “The

Blue Ghost.” The ship got the name for a couple of reasons: First, the Lexington was painted dark blue as opposed to the standard haze gray. Second, the Japanese believed they sank the Lexington at least four times during the course of World War II, leading the Japanese propagandist Tokyo Rose to dub the ship “The Blue Ghost.” In fact, the previous USS Lexington (CV-2) was lost in the Battle of the Coral Sea in May, 1942. CV-16 was originally to have been named Cabot, but she was renamed while under construction to commemorate CV-2. The “new” Lexington was decommissioned shortly after the war, but updates led it to be reactivated in the 1950s as an attack carrier (CVA) and then an antisubmarine carrier (CVS). Nearly 30 years of her service time was spent as a training carrier (CVT). The Lexington remained active until 1991, longer than any other Essex-class ship. She was

The USS Hornet (CV-12) has been reported to be one of the most haunted places in the country. An annual ‘Monster Bash’ is held on board every year. PHOTO COURTESY OF THE USS HORNET ASSOCIATION designated a National Historic Landmark in 2003. With such a long history, it’s not surprising there are tales of the unexplained surrounding the Lexington. There are reports people have heard screams and cries in one of the shower areas below deck. According to reports, 30 crewmen lost their lives there

when the ship was torpedoed. According to the website www.ghosteyes.com, there have been more than 200 reports from visitors who have encountered a young, blondehaired, blue-eyed man during their visits, some even speaking to him. To this day, an

VP-40 surpasses 275,000 mishap-free flight hours By Lt. j.g. DANIEL BUCCOLA VP-40 Public Affairs

KADENA AIR BASE, Japan – As the Fighting Marlins of Patrol Squadron (VP) 40 celebrated the middle of their deployment to U.S. Seventh Fleet, they also achieved another milestone in aviation safety. On September 5, 2011, the Fighting Marlins of VP-40 surpassed 275,000 mishap-free flight hours, an impressive highlight for the aviation community. “Executing challenging operations while managing an airframe at the end of its service life provide consistent temptations for corners to be cut and procedures to be compromised,” said Cmdr. Brett W. Mietus, VP-40’s Commanding Officer. “I am immeasurably proud of the entire Fighting Marlin tribe. They have kept their focus and kept us safe.” Since departing Naval Air Station Whidbey Island on May 12, VP-40 aircrews have flown 565 sorties and executed 3,543.7 flight hours while deployed to Kadena Air Base in Okinawa. In Fiscal Year 2011, aircrews flew 5,249.4 flight

hours and completed more than 1,600 hours of simulator training. Since FY 2006, VP-40 has flown an average of 5,017.5 flight hours per year. From May to December 2007, VP-40 flew 6,111.0 flight hours while deployed to U.S. Fifth Fleet. VP-40 estimates that by the completion of November, aircrews will have exceeded 4,200 flight hours while deployed to U.S. Seventh Fleet. On September 5, 2011, Combat Aircrew (CAC) 8 took off from Kadena Air Base, Japan, at 4:45 a.m. Five hours into the flight on aircraft BUNO 161610, CAC 8 helped to continue the 47-year streak and achieve the safety record of 275,000 mishap-free flight hours. “This milestone exemplifies the dedication and professionalism of VP-40,” said Lt. Kevin Blake, Mission Commander of CAC 8. “It is truly an honor for our crew to be a part of something that signifies the excellence of past and present Marlins.” While safety is a focus of the U.S. Navy as a whole, safety is most important in the aviation community. Many evolutions present day-to-day hazards for both

PHOTO COURTESY OF VP-40 PUBLIC AFFAIRS aircrew and maintenance personnel. Although mission execution remains the priority for VP-40, safety is equally as important and crucial to overall mission success. “Naval aviation is a dangerous business

with little margin for error,” said Lt. John Parks, VP-40’s Aviation Safety Officer. “This milestone is a testament to all of the VP-40 aircrew who go out every day with the utmost professionalism to safely accomplish the mission.”

Patrol Squadron 40 teams up with Brunei Armed Forces By Lt. JENNIFER DANIELS VP-40 Public Affairs

BANDAR SERI BAGWAN, Brunei — Patrol Squadron (VP) 40 teamed up with USS Dewey (DDG 105) and USS Pinckney (DDG 91) in support of Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) Brunei 2011. The week-long exercise was designed to strengthen relationships and enhance force readiness for both nations. Combat Aircrew (CAC) Four, led by Patrol Plane Commander/Mission Commander Lt. Lane Drummond and Tactical Coordinator Lt. Dan Hansen, worked with a 12-person maintenance detachment to ensure air support for the duration of the exercise. This year’s CARAT focused on Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA) and Search and Rescue (SAR) procedures, as well as Brunei’s recent decision to integrate female officers into shipboard positions. Sailors from VP-40 were eager to discuss their experiences and learn about Brunei, forming friendships and growing as individuals along the way. “I left Brunei with a sense of pride as a woman serving in the military,”

said Naval Aircrewman 2nd Class Rachel Fontaine. “The women I met from the Brunei Navy reminded me of the obstacles a woman faces in a very male dominant military. It was uplifting to hear their stories of hardships as Muslim women and how they’ve proven they’re strong and capable enough to serve their country.” Following opening ceremonies on Sept. 29, CARAT participants spent two days learning about each other’s platforms and the challenges of MDA and SAR. At the MDA Working Group, VP-40 detachment officer-in-charge Lt. Cmdr. Douglas Fitchett fielded questions from members of the Royal Brunei Air Force and the Chief of the Royal Brunei Navy. “It was a great opportunity to share lessons VP-40 has learned over the last four months since having been deployed to the 7th Fleet AOR,” said Fitchett. “Brunei Air Force personnel were very receptive to what we had to share and thought it would be possible to incorporate into their training program.” During the SAR symposium, the HSL-71 Raptors presented helicopter rescue equipment while VP-40

explained maritime search procedures and factors to be considered when developing a rescue plan. U.S. and Brunei aircrew worked together to conduct realtime calculations of survivor search location based on aerospace trajectory, wind and current drift, and varying search platforms. Eager to use the skills they learned in the classroom, CAC-4 and Brunei’s Number Five Squadron took to the skies for joint MDA flights through Brunei’s Exclusive Economic Zone. The aircrews reviewed procedures for locating and identifying surface traffic transiting through Bruneian waters. CAC-4 crewmembers were also given the opportunity to fly aboard the sleek CN-235 as the Royal Brunei Air Force demonstrated parajumper dropping procedures and successfully located the simulated survivors lost at sea during the SAREX with the Royal Brunei Navy. “It was an awesome experience,” said Naval Aircrewman First Class Scott Wollenhaupt. “You realize how far we have come as nations working together with common goals. This whole experience will be with us all forever.”

Fighting Marlins strengthen Japanese relations By Lt. j. g. Matthew Esche VP-40 Public Affairs

KADENA AIR BASE, Japan - Patrol Squadron (VP) 40 and VP-5 of the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) had an exciting day of cultural exchange and familiarization while conducting Expendable Mobile ASW Training Target (EMATT) training south of Okinawa. Each squadron leveraged these aircrew exchanges to observe differences in aircraft configuration, procedures, and tactics. On October 11, three officers from VP-40 and two officers from Tactical Operations Center (TOC) Kadena attended a pre-sail brief at the JMSDF AntiSubmarine Warfare Operations Center in Naha. Topics included safety of flight procedures, communication plans, as well as the overall schedule of events. In all, the experience was a great opportunity for the two flights crews to connect face to face and alleviate concerns that could arise while on-station due to language barriers.

Lt. Chris Mottino, Lt. David Rosenfelder, and Lt. Jason Ahmanson were guests on the JMSDF flights. Upon return, each of the officers praised the Japanese aircrew for their professionalism. “On the deck, they were the most gracious of hosts,” said Rosenfelder. “In the air, they were pure professionals.” While the Japanese fly an Update III model of the P-3C Orion, they are in pristine condition due to outstanding upkeep and maintenance. “Everything from the control surfaces to the communication equipment to the tactical systems functioned flawlessly,” said Rosenfelder. “It was impressive to see what can be accomplished when all of their focus can be placed on one mission type.” Post flight, VP-5 aircrew and VP-40 aircrew debriefed the exercise at Kadena Air Base. Both parties were ecstatic with the results of the joint training experience and continue to look forward to future training and real-world missions.

Retired chiefs are here to help By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

very enlisted sailor knows about working parties — most would say it’s not the most memorable experience of their Navy careers. Leave it to the Whidbey Island Retired Chief Petty Officer Association to turn that whole concept on its head. “We’re here to have fun, and to help out, too,” said retired Master Gunnery Sgt. Ken Kesler. “Yes, we do have working parties — and we actually enjoy them,” he said. The organization is open not only to retired Navy CPO’s, Kesler said, but to any retired E-7 thru E-9 of the U.S. military, including Coast Guard. The group looks forward to its parties and social gatherings, such as a December holiday potluck, January chili cook-off, and August ribs barbecue, among other events. Community service also ranks high on their agenda. For those who wonder how a working party can still be a party, beautiful surroundings can make all the difference, says vice president Bud Betz. “This past spring, we adopted Rasar State Park through the state of Washington’s Adopt-aPark program,” said Betz. The park, located on the Skagit River, offers a host of enjoyable activities. Park Ranger Debbie Wyman, referring to their recent volunteer project,

“Whether by word-of-mouth, social networks or however, we want to let people know we’re here.” – Bud Betz posted her “thank you” on the group’s web page. Wyman said park personnel appreciated the group’s reorganization of their lumber shed and planting flowers around the new cabin sites. Possible future projects at Rasar Park include a March/April clean-up to repair the ravages of winter weather, said Betz. The RCPOA engages in other community and civic outreaches as well. Most notable is the annual Edward L. “Gomer” Jones Memorial Scholarship award given to a deserving high school graduate. While today’s social media can inspire people

Going batty The one creature that really creeps me out is a bat. I know they’re not all bad, but I prefer they stay far away from me. When I think back on the creepiest Halloween moments of my youth, I remember one in particular. My parents let me invite five or six friends over for a Halloween slumber party at my house. My parents took their camper to the lake for the night (not even a quarter of a mile away), giving me free rein of the house. The catch was I had to watch my younger sister (nine years my junior). I had gone all out for this party — I hung paper bats from the ceiling and we had plenty of jack o’lanterns to set the mood as we KATHY turned off the lights and listened REED to ghost stories on a record album. When I thought something flitted past my head I just figured I was imagining things. Then I saw my friend, Janie, craning her neck trying to make out something near the ceiling. We caught each other’s eye, paused for just a beat and both began screaming “Bat!” at the same time. Seven high school girls and an 8-year-old can make a lot of noise. That poor bat didn’t stand a chance. With every light now blazing, we rounded up our arsenal — a broom, a fishing net, a few bath towels and a cardboard box. We found the poor bat clinging to a tapestry on the wall in the living room. After a couple of attempts and lots of high-pitched screaming, we perfected our capture procedure. With the net on the bottom and the broom on top, we managed to sandwich the bat and lower it into the box. With the net on top and towels over that, we all carried the bundle outside, where we flung it as hard and as far as we could. We made a mad dash back to the house, lest what we assumed was now an angry bat sought retribution. When I checked the next morning, of course the bat was gone, much more frightened of us than we were of it, I’m sure. Creepy creatures to be sure, but I have that little bat to thank for making my Halloween party a howling success.

Child’s speech fleeting, sentimental

ecently, at a church dinner, I told my boys, “There will be a limit on the bread.” What I meant was that each of them could have two pieces with their lasagna. This was a result of the week before, when my almost-11-year-old son brought his plate to the table with a half loaf of french bread on it. (Side note: College savings are nice, but lately I wonder if Dustin and I should have started a savings account to pay for groceries when we eventually have three teenage boys in the house.) “A limit?” Ford said. “I’ll starve!” Suddenly Lindell started to cry. But his whimpers were mere background noise because I was busy telling Ford to put his knees down and bring his chair closer to the table.

Lindell pulled at my shoulder. That’s when I turned around and AMILY saw his red, wet eyes. But I was still frustrated by his whining and IFE pestering. “My gosh, Lindell, what is it?” I ARAH said. “Who will take it off for me?” he MILEY cried. “What? Take what off for you?” “The lemon. I don’t want a lemon on my bread.” This past summer, Lindell took swimming lessons—again. He is still in level one, which is to say, he sits on the side of the pool, arms folded across his chest, and refuses to get in the water. At the end of the two weeks, we are presented with a certificate for Lindell’s “participation” and the recommendation that he take level one — again — next summer.

WIZARDS| FROM PAGE 1 effort for the Wizards, who have looked forward to getting back into the fight since their departure from Al Asad Air Base, Iraq, in 2010. Although still early in the combat phase of the deployment, things are looking very good for the Wizards. The maintenance department has been instrumental in keeping the jets in top working order and allowing the squadron to enjoy their continued success in theater operations. Likewise, the aircrew are studying and flying hard to put the jets to good use. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The missions may be long, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind,â&#x20AC;? said Lt. Brandon Simpson, a VAQ-133 Electronic Countermeasures Officer. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helping to keep people safe on the ground. Our systems are working extremely

â&#x20AC;&#x153;The missions may be long, but I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mind. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re helping to keep people safe on the ground. â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Lt. Brandon Simpson well so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just happy to be here.â&#x20AC;? Just prior to beginning their involvement in OND, the Stennis Strike Group pulled into port for a short period of R&R in Manama, Bahrain. The time off gave sailors and aircrew a chance to decompress and blow off steam before starting the high tempo of combat operations. When asked about how port calls factor into sailorsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; readiness, Logistics Specialist First Class (AW/SW) Julliver Kintz remarked, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There is definitely a strong positive attitude here, which directly affects how well people perform on a daily basis. Port calls certainly help to keep that morale high.â&#x20AC;? When port calls are simply not an option due to operational necessity, another way to give sailors a short reprieve is to hold morale-boosting events such as concerts or a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Steel-Beach Picnicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;. The Stennis enjoyed both of these in

late October. Following a day of flight operations, the ship hosted country music act Lone Star in the hangar bay for all interested sailors. The festivities continued the next day, where a Steel-Beach Picnic offered members the opportunity to relax and participate in numerous activities on the flight deck, as well as partake in traditional cook-out foods and other refreshments while enjoying the thankfully pleasant weather. The day also allowed the Wizards to culminate their â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Deck Washâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; fundraiser, in which sailors and aircrew donated money to MWR towards seeing a squadron-mate scrub the flight deck. The top ten recipients, supervised by several Chief Petty Officers, scrubbed a portion of the flight deck, a job that saw many additional volunteers who simply wanted to be a part of the fun. With so much to do and so many things to look forward to, there is no shortage of opportunities for VAQ-133 to excel. From maintenance to morale to combat sortie completion rate the Wizards are maintaining the high standards they set as an expeditionary unit. With a well established trend of excellence, the expectation is nothing short of unparalleled success as they settle in to the combat opera-

tion mindset for the ensuing months.

NAS Whidbey Island: A city within a city Navy personnel shine as tour guides By MELANIE HAMMONS Whidbey Crosswind

Lt. Eileen Crawford, center, briefs tour group members about the search-and-rescue helicopterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation. MELANIE HAMMONS/WHIDBEY CROSSWIND

East meant â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of cross-coordination with other service branches in operations and training.â&#x20AC;? He reserved some of his highest praise for sailors who were on individual augmentation orders. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of them, especially the enlisted, are already away from their families for 70 percent of the time,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have one sailor in our group that works for me whom I rarely see, (because heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an IA). â&#x20AC;&#x153;But heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s still serving his country, and serving our nation,â&#x20AC;? said Wissel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And tonight, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be hosting an appreciation dinner for all our IAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.â&#x20AC;? Lt. Eileen Crawford and AWS2 David Scott hosted the tour at the Search-and-Rescue hangar. Scott informed them that although their primary mission was to support the Navy, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we also answer search-and-rescue calls throughout western Washington.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We find ourselves in a

strange situation - We wait for calls that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really want - but on the other hand, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what we train for,â&#x20AC;? Crawford said. Scott drew many questions from the group as he demonstrated some of the standard equipment the helicopter carries, including hoists, lifting vests, and a litter for parallel rescues. There are only a couple of Navy Search-and-Rescue units that are training to carry rappelling gear, said Scott, â&#x20AC;&#x153;and we are one of them.â&#x20AC;? He said that the mountainous terrain of western Washington made such equipment a necessity. Popp explained to tour members that it is the base commanding officer who makes the final decision on whether they go out on a civilian rescue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The rationale he bases that on is whether the danger presented could result in loss of life or limb for the victim,â&#x20AC;? said Popp. Crawford said that each training run they make

here is far more at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island than what meets the eye. Sailors and officers had a chance to describe their work to a consortium of individuals who took a tour of the base last Thursday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The commitment of these young people to their military careers is very comforting to me as an American citizen,â&#x20AC;? said Nancy McLaughlin of the Association of Washington Cities, a private, non-profit group. She, along with CEO Mike McCarty and others, accompanied the Navy League and local business representatives on the tour. NAS Whidbey Community Relations Director Tony Popp outlined a brief history of the base. He described NAS Whidbey to the group as a city within a city. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You already know that most of our uniformed personnel are Navy by far. What you may not know is that we also host Marines, Air Force, a couple of Army folks out of Fort Lewis, and even some Canadian military here,â&#x20AC;? said Popp. The sites visited by the group formed a snapshot of NAS Whidbeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s missionat-large: Tour participants visited several air wings, Search-and-Rescue, and the air traffic control tower. At Fleet Air Reconnaissance Squadron (VQ) 1, Lt. j.g. Larry Young explained their air wingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s operation using the acronym ISR (intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance), and introduced squadron commanding officer, Cmdr. J.P. Wissel. Regarding recent missions, Wissel mentioned antipiracy operations over the horn of Africa, describing VQ-1 as being â&#x20AC;&#x153;very involved in that endeavor.â&#x20AC;? Wissel told the group that events in the Middle

SMILEY | FROM PAGE 4 We fear he will one day be the only boy in level one who shaves. But the instructors are very patient. They continue to try, with endless enthusiasm, to get Lindell into the water. One day Lindell ran away from his teacher, back to the safety of the grass and his towel, crying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wanna put my face in the water! I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wanna put my face in the water!â&#x20AC;? The teacher took him by the hand, and while she gently guided him back toward the pool, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not worry about that now. Just get your feet in the pool. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think about putting your face in. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll cross that bridge when we come to it.â&#x20AC;? Lindell stopped and thought about that. Then he said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Okay, but before I go, what bridge are you talking about?â&#x20AC;?

About a year ago, Lindell listened patiently to an intense discussion between Dustin and Ford about space. For about 10 minutes they debated the possibility of other life forms in our galaxy and the feasibility of parallel universes outside of our own. When Ford mentioned the Milky way, Lindell suddenly was interested. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Wait a minute,â&#x20AC;? he said slowly, his face full of intrigue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re telling me there are candy bars just floating around in space?â&#x20AC;? This was science Lindell could get excited about! Over the years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve learned to adapt to these Lindellisms. Indeed, I could draw a special map of our city, with Big Donaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on one corner, and a few streets away, the towering, iconic sculpture of Bangor, Maineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, mythical native son, Tall Bunyan. (Better see a podiatrist about that one.) No one knows where these misnomers came from, but they are catching. More than once Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accidentally told a friend

that Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to â&#x20AC;&#x153;Old Ladiesâ&#x20AC;? (Old Navy) to shop for pants. I remember when Owen, now 8, called yellow â&#x20AC;&#x153;ye-yo,â&#x20AC;? and Ford said â&#x20AC;&#x153;Godâ&#x20AC;? instead of â&#x20AC;&#x153;dog.â&#x20AC;? I also remember how Ford often elongated vowels that should be short (CONE-gress) and pronounced a word phonetically because he had only read it and not yet heard it said aloud. These phases pass too quickly. Soon enough, Lindell will not mispronounce his Rs (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Plestonâ&#x20AC;? instead of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Prestonâ&#x20AC;?), and he will stop saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;whatâ&#x20AC;? when he really means â&#x20AC;&#x153;thatâ&#x20AC;? (â&#x20AC;&#x153;Can I wear the shirt what has a puppy on the front?â&#x20AC;?). But the sad thing is, I probably wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t hear these â&#x20AC;&#x153;lasts.â&#x20AC;? Not really.

Although I have carefully cataloged all the boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first words (God, car, Spongebob), I might not realize the last time Lindell says Big Donaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s instead of McDonaldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

SPOOKY | FROM PAGE 1 engine room operator killed in battle is said to remain at his post. In Dec., 2009, the USS Lexington was featured in an episode of “Ghost Lab,” a program on the Discovery Channel.

The White Lady

Haunted Hornet The USS Hornet is said to be one of the most haunted warships in the U.S. Navy. There have been numerous reports of supernatural events taking place on board since the ship became a museum in 1998. The Hornet was also to have borne another name. Originally named the USS Kearsarge, she was renamed in honor of the USS Hornet (CV-8), which was lost in the Battle of Santa Cruz in October, 1942, and is the eighth ship to bear the name. During the course of her service, the Hornet came under attack 59 times, but was never hit. The carrier’s aircraft destroyed 1,410 Japanese aircraft; 10 of her pilots attained “Ace in a Day” status; 30 out of 42 of her Fighter Squadron (VF) 2 pilots were aces. In all, the Hornet earned nine battle stars for her service in World War II. She became part of the Pacific Reserve Fleet in 1947. She recommissioned in March, 1951 to sail from San Francisco to the New York Naval Shipyard,

Crewmen abandon ship on board the aircraft carrier USS Lexington, after the carrier was hit by Japanese torpedoes and bombs during the Battle of the Coral Sea. Note the destroyer alongside taking on survivors. The USS Phelps eventually torpedoed the stricken carrier, scuttling it and sending it to the bottom of the sea. U.S. NAVY FILE PHOTO

where she was decommissioned once again and converted to an attack aircraft carrier (CVA). From 1960 to 1970, the Hornet was deployed on a regular basis to the 7th Fleet for operations from the coast of South Vietnam to the shores of Japan and the Philippines. She was also part of the Apollo program, serving as a recovery ship for unmanned and manned spaceflights. The Hornet was decommissioned in June, 1970, and mothballed at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard in Bremerton. She was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1991 and in 1998, was opened to the public as a museum. The Hornet now hosts a variety of events, including the annual Monster

Bash, which will be held on board Saturday. The party plays up the ship’s reputation, which stems from stories like heavy doors opening and closing by themselves, vanishing tools that reappear after much time searching, objects moving on their own and people who have reported being grabbed or pushed when no one is around. (Go to www. hauntedbay.com/features/ usshornet.shtml for more accounts.) A number of paranormal-related television shows have featured the Hornet, including MTV’s “Fear,” “Ghost Hunters,” on the Syfy Channel and the Travel Channel’s “Ghost Adventures.” Beyond Investigation Magazine also conducted an investigation of large

A little closer to home, one Whidbey Crosswind reader wrote in to share a story that didn’t actually happen to her, but to someone she knew. According to Carol Scott, former wife of the late Master Chief Aircraft Maintenanceman Douglas Scott, many veterans of the Vietnam era who spent time at Naval Air Station Cubi Point or Naval Station Subic Bay in the Philippines were familiar with stories of one particular woman. “There was an apparition named the ‘White Lady,’” Scott recalled. “She wandered one road on base at night. The road ran between the base proper and the Naval Hospital. It was said she was searching for her husband, killed in World War II.” Scott said drivers of the local cab company told of seeing “the lady,” and would refuse to take fares on the road at night unless there was a return fare guaranteed. “I took it with a grain of salt until a friend, who was a doctor at the Naval Hospital, told me his story,” Scott said. “He lived in quarters at the hospital compound and told me that late one evening he was sitting in the living room and watched the cafe-type doors between the kitchen and the living room silently swing open, while a ‘fog’ passed through. The doors closed just as silently,” she continued. “Afterward, he said he smelled the slightest wisp of rose water. He said he had no explanation, but he knew what he saw. I never knew him to change his story.” Happy Halloween!

TOUR | FROM PAGE 7 these pieces of information to inform the big decisions we must make in a rescue situation,” she said. One of the group’s stops took them by Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 132. There, they were joined by several members of the State of Washington Veterans’ affairs advisory committee. Lt. j.g. Laura Combs, an electronic warfare officer, proudly showed the visitors a Growler aircraft parked in the hangar and explained that the Scorpions were the first squadron to get the Growlers. Combs answered several questions related to the aircraft’s weaponry and electronic attack capabilities. “My dad flew Cessnas when I was young,” said Combs. She told the group that she first flew by herself at age 15, “and I’ve been hooked ever since.” Air traffic control was the last stop of the tour. Air Traffic Controller First Class Orlando Alvarez conducted much of the tour for this segment.
