Memories of NAS Whidbey’s one and only ship, the USS Salisbury Sound
Oak Harbor loses WWII fighter ace By K ATHY REED
Whidbey Crosswind
A reception will be held at 1 p.m. Saturday in Oak Harbor in honor of retired Navy Capt. Lee Paul Mankin, 90, who died following a brief illness last month at his winter home in Indian Wells, Calif. Mankin, who was born in Mammoth Springs, Alaska, enlisted in the Navy in 1937, at age 17. His first assignment was as a radioman on the USS California. He was accepted for flight training in Pensacola, Fla. and earned his wings in Feb., 1942.

with a length of 100 feet and a wingspan of 117 feet. The P5M Marlin only landed on the water as she did not have landing gear. Westlund recalls when he was stationed in Oak Harbor, the community had one traffic light and the population was under 5,000 as opposed to more than 20,000 today. When Sally came back to Oak Harbor after deployment, you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing someone from the ship. Westlund added that is was nice to see that the brown shoe contingent on Ault Field had 500 or so black shoe brethren on the Seaplane Base.

es Westlund is a Navy chaplain who had an unusual working environment at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. He tended to his flock aboard a Navy ship - a seaplane tender moored to the finger pier behind the commissary on the Seaplane Base. From 1965 to 1967 Westlund served aboard the USS Salisbury Sound (AV-13), or “Sally,” as her men called her, as she made one of her 19 deployments to the Western Pacific from 1946 through 1966.
Cmdr. Orville ‘Wes’ Westlund
Nuts and bolts Sally was a Currituck-class seaplane tender, 540-feet long, 69-feet wide and drew 22 feet. She had room for 684 men with a huge hangar bay on the stern and two huge cranes that picked up seaplanes, or parts of them, easily. She was capable of supporting two, 15-plane squadrons of Mariner type seaplanes both in material, upkeep, repair and personnel. Her shops included engine repair, hydraulic repair, carburetor repair, metal, parachute and photogenic shop. In addition to her own officers and crew, Sally was capable of billeting over 120 squadron officers and 200 crew members. When Westlund was aboard the USS Salisbury Sound, she tended to P5M Marlin, one of the largest seaplanes in the Navy
Time on the water Sally went to sea often and for long periods of time, according to Westlund. Once the captain asked Westlund and Lt. Procetti, the electrical engineering officer, to find out how much time Sally spent at sea. “We went through the log books and when we were done I said, ‘I think we should go over these books again’ and (Procetti) agreed, ‘cause we both thought we had made a mistake,” Westlund said. “But we went over them again and we found out that we were right. We had spent 80 percent of our time at sea and 20 percent in Oak Harbor. When we showed the results to the captain he thought we were right immediately.” Westlund said his ship was older but clean as a whistle. The food was good and the motion at sea was comfortable, when the weather was good. But it could get hot at anchor or in port.

A season of change...
New leadership for VP-40 By Lt. j.g. DANIEL BUCCOLA
Public Affairs Officer, VP-40
The Fighting Marlins of Patrol Squadron Forty (VP40) held its change of command ceremony last Friday, as Cmdr. John M. Maxwell handed the reins to Cmdr. Brett W. Mietus. The ceremony marked VP-40’s 60th change of command since its commissioning on Jan. 20, 1951. The squadron was joined by guest of honor, Navy Capt. Doug Morgan, former CPRW-10 Commodore, as well as family, friends, and other distinguished visitors at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. Skipper Maxwell took command May 7, 2010, after VP-40 returned from its Fifth Fleet and Sixth Fleet deployments. The Inter Deployment Readiness Cycle (IDRC) has heralded many accomplishments. The Fighting Marlins flew 3422.6 flight hours, adding to the squadron’s 272,442 hours of mishap-free flight. More impressively, VP-40 is prepared to go out the door to Seventh Fleet with 11 crews qualified in anti-submarine warfare, and 12 crews qualified in anti-surface warfare, and intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance readiness. “The officers, chiefs, and sailors in VP-40 have done amazing things this home cycle. They have responded so well to every challenge. I am particularly honored to have been their Skipper,” said Cmdr. Maxwell. His next assignment will take him and his family to Norfolk, Va.

As the Marlins prepare for the approaching deployment, Cmdr. Mietus is determined to continue VP-40’s home-cycle achievements. “There is no better deployment for a P-3 squadron than the one we’re about to experience,” said Mietus. “Our daily efforts make clear that the squadron is ready to

Longstanding Naval traditions are honored each time there is a change of command ceremony aboard Naval Air Station Whidbey Island. That was certainly true last week as the command of Patrol Squadron One (VP-1), the Screaming
Eagles, was transferred from Cmdr. Troy Bauder to Cmdr. Gregory Sleppy in a ceremony last Thursday. Bauder, who hails from Franklin, Pa., holds a bachelor of science degree from the U.S. Naval Academy and a degree in national security and strategic studies from the Naval War College. Prior to duty at NAS Whidbey, he
deploy. I look forward to seeing what our sailors are able to accomplish.” Mietus is a native of Richmond, Va., and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy. He began his naval officer career with VP-9 in 1995. After several Fifth Fleet deployments and a Seventh Fleet deployment, Mietus returned to Jacksonville, Fla., to lead the Aircraft Improvement Program (AIP) fleet introduction and be a plankowner for the community’s first Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) class. Following Cmdr. Mietus’s tour onboard the USS John C. Stennis as the Flag Secretary for Commander, Carrier Group Seven in 2001, Mietus earned a Master’s degree in national security and strategic studies at the Naval War College in Newport, R.I. In 2005, Cmdr. Mietus served on the OPNAV Staff as the deputy executive assistant to the director, air warfare, at the Pentagon. Two years later, he transferred to the Eastern Europe and Eurasia division of the Strategic Plans and Policy directorate on the Joint Staff. In 2010, Cmdr. Mietus joined his third operational P-3 squadron in Whidbey Island as the executive officer. Mietus brings motivation and the fortitude to lead the Fighting Marlins through a rewarding Seventh Fleet deployment. “Over our training cycle, the Fighting Marlins have been tested and hardened,” he said. “They are ready to represent our great nation with pride and excellence as we forward deploy.” reported to Navy Personnel and Command as assistant Washington placement officer and also reported to Joint IED Defeat Organization Field Team Iraq and MNCI Counter IED Operation Integrations Center as an analyst. He became the commanding officer in May, 2009, leading the squadron through a six month deployment to Southwest Asia, among other things. “I don’t have any regrets because I know the command is in good hands,” said Bauder. “I know it will continue to operate at the same high level as when I
got here two years ago.” Sleppy, former executive officer of VP-1, comes from Penn Run, Pa., and has a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering from the U.S. Naval Academy. Sleppy is no stranger to the Screaming Eagles. He has served with the squadron three times, and has a great deal of experience to help him lead. “It’s an honor to take over the command that I served all my time with,” said Sleppy. “I couldn’t think of a better group of sailors to serve with.”

Snyder loses battle with cancer A wake for retired Navy Lt. Cmdr. Barbara Jean Snyder, 63, Oak Harbor, will be held from 2 to 6 p.m. Saturday at Wallin Funeral Home in Oak Harbor. Snyder died May 5 after a long battle with cancer. A registered nurse, Snyder reported to duty at Naval Hospital Oak Harbor in 1984, where she was the quality assurance risk management coordinator. She retired from the Navy in 1990. Following her Navy career, Snyder began to work for the Oak Harbor School District in 1992, working as an instructional assistant at North Whidbey and Oak Harbor Middle Schools, and ending her employment with the school district as the ASB secretary at Oak Harbor Middle School. Snyder was born and raised in Chicago. She attended St. Olaf College in Northfield, Minn., where she received her Bachelor of Science in nursing. She went on to receive a Master’s degree in business administration from Pepperdine University. She is survived by her husband, Dennis, two children, one grandchild, one brother and her parents. Snyder will be buried with full military honors at Tahoma National Cemetery in Kent.
NJROTC competes at U.S. Air Force Academy Oak Harbor High School’s Navy Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps was the only school from the state of Washington to compete recently at the National Invitational Drill Meet held at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, Colo. The competition took place April 9 and consisted of armed and unarmed drill teams, color guard and individual and special exhibition drills. All Oak Harbor teams did well in the competition, according to instructor Bill Thiel, who shared these results at the Navy League meeting last week. Oak Harbor’s armed drill team took seventh place out of 12 teams and the unarmed drill team took fourth place out of 12. Color guard one placed tenth out of 20 and color guard two placed eighth out of 20. In the individual and special exhibitions, c/SCPO Chisum Sifford was seventh out of 14. Sifford also placed second out of 80 competitors in the armed drill down. In the unarmed drill down, c/Lt. Jami Zuber came in third out of 110 competitors. When the 26 cadets and six chaperones from Oak Harbor weren’t practicing or competing, they found the time to visit the Garden of the Gods, a national natural landmark in Colorado Springs, and the Olympic Training Center. Two former OHHS graduates, Thomas Chandler and Chris Olson, gave the group a personalized tour of the Air Force Academy.
Tired and Retired Civil Service ladies to meet The Tired and Retired Civil Service Ladies of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island will meet for their annual no-host luncheon at 11 a.m., Thursday, May 19. Ladies will assemble at the Chief ’s Club on Ault Field Road. Those planing to attend should respond by May 16 to Barbara Wilson at 675-0515 or to Jean Hayden at 675-2195. Organizers ask those attending to bring along a funny story about their years working for the government.
So it was that at age 21, Mankin shot down his first Japanese plane during his first day of combat on Aug. 7, 1942. He and five other pilots, part of VF-5, the only fully enlisted fighting squadron, encountered 23 twin-engine Japanese bombers being escorted by 10 Zero fighters, on their way to Guadalcanal. Mankin saw a bomber by itself and took a shot. He was one of only three F4F Wildcat pilots to return that day. Mankin was the Navy’s only enlisted Fighter Ace in World War II, having shot down five enemy planes. He described the moment several years ago in an interview with the Whidbey News-Times. Mankin said he was so close to the Japanese plane he could see the pilot in the cockpit — the one time he almost lost his concentration during a dog fight. “I hesitated for a second because I realized I was aiming at a man,” Mankin said. “Before I couldn’t see the people, just the planes.” The Ace went on to receive a commission and retired 21 years later as a captain. He moved to Westport, Wash., where he operated a charter fishing boat. He and his first wife, Kathleen, moved to Oak Harbor in 1982. Not only was Mankin a well-known figure in the

OUR VIEWS
Superstition still afloat Like the people we queried in our Navy Views question this week, I am not a superstitious person. In fact, I always find Friday the 13th to be a pretty good day. Of course, just the fact that it’s a Friday is enough to bring a smile to my face! But superstitious or not, it’s funny how many things we do in our day to day lives that give a nod, intentional or not, to these beliefs. KATHY I find myself “knocking REED on wood” on a regular basis. While I don’t go out of my way to avoid walking under a ladder, I do think about it, reminding myself I don’t believe in that stuff. I do find myself feeling sorry for black cats on occasion. (However, my exhaustive research revealed that black cats are considered good luck and will bring a sailor home from the sea.) I did manage to unearth a few seafaring superstitions. I’m not saying our Navy sailors put any stock in these, but it would be interesting to know if anyone has heard of them: - It’s unlucky to start a voyage on Friday. - Bananas on board are bad luck. - Throwing stones into the sea will cause storms. - Tattoos and piercings are said to ward off evil. - Pouring or spilling wine on deck is good luck. - Whistling on deck will call up the “wind devil.” - Don’t step on board with your left foot first. - Flowers on board are unlucky. - Swallows seen at sea are a good sign. - It’s unlucky to kill an albatross or a gull. I found these online at www.pacificoffshorerigging.com and dockwalk.com. Read them with a grain of salt and toss them over your left shoulder. Kathy Reed, editor

NASWI personnel honored in Seattle By K ATHY REED
Whidbey Crosswind
Seattle’s Federal Executive Board acknowledged several workers from Naval Air Station Whidbey Island for outstanding job performance last week. At a ceremony held at the Jackson Federal Building in Seattle, Sherry Yates, Mark VanOort and employees of Navy Whidbey Recycle were all recognized for their contributions as federal employees, receiving 2011 Public Service Recognition Awards. “Once a command or an agency meets our criteria, we recognize them in a celebration of public service,” said Anne Tiernan, SFEB executive director. “Employees have to go above and beyond. It’s usually your cream of the crop.” Navy Whidbey Recycle
was one of the agencies recognized for outstanding performance. “We had the opportunity to submit our crew for recognition and had the privilege of being selected for the second time in three years,” said Kassie Gale, recycling office technician for Navy Whidbey Recycle. “One of the things we excel in is our rate of recycling, which fluctuates between 75 to 81 percent at any given time.” According to the SFEB, the recycling center’s waste stream diversion averaged 78.7 percent from 2008 to 2010, and is averaging just over 80 percent this year. The team was also credited with generating more than $1.3 million in sales revenue while saving more than $4 million in solid waste disposal fees. The recycling center was also hailed for its creation of the Department of Defense Northwest
Recycle Team in 2010, which connects military recycling programs in the Northwest. “It was a big deal to get that off the ground this last year,” Gale said. “We’ve had several opportunities to get together (with other military recycling centers) and share best practices.” Airport Facilities Manager at NAS Whidbey, Mark VanOort, was recognized for his development and coordination of flight line construction projects, which improved the functionality of the base’s runways, taxiways and aircraft parking ramps. Finally, Morale, Welfare and Recreation sponsorship coordinator, Sherry Yates, was also honored.

According to the SFEB, Yates’ performance, leadership and dedication to single sailors and deploying units improved the readiness and morale of all commands assigned to NAS Whidbey. VanOort and Yates could not be reached for comment. For more information on the public service recognition program, go to www.seattlefeb.us.

DAV members prepare for state Disabled veterans swear in new members By DENNIS CONNOLLY
Whidbey Crosswind
A prayer, a pledge and a roll call opened the meeting of Disabled American Veterans, Chapter 47, last week in Oak Harbor. Members gathered to swear in new leadership, discuss events related to the club and the upcoming state conference in June. “It was pretty much a regular meeting,” said David Michel, past postcommander and chapter service officer. There were 13 members present at the May 5 meeting. The officers sworn in for one-year terms were: Charles Muggs Monahan, senior vice commander; Floyd Hawkins, junior vice commander; Dottie Michel, junior vice commander; Melissa Vaughn, treasurer; John Callahan,
commander; Steve DeAvilla, post commander; and Michelle McClain, adjutant. Officers were sworn in prior to June’s Department of Washington State Convention, which will be held in Yakima. Disabled American Veterans from all over the state will congregate to discuss issues affecting veterans and veteran’s rights. Regular business included an update by the chaplain, and there was also an explanation of death benefits. In addition, two new members, Mark Takaoka and Jennifer Marzocca, were sworn in. Michel said he’s seen a lot of changes since he was first elected post commander. “When I took over 12 years ago we didn’t have much money and we weren’t very successful,” Michel said. “Now we have increased the number of service officers to 12 and the number of volunteer drivers for our van to approximately 15. Service officers help veterans fill out claims for ser-

Service officers also help following the death of a veteran. If a spouse files for Dependent Indemnity Compensation, that can give the surviving spouse money to help make a mortgage payment or to pay other bills. In other business, members discussed the traveling
Vietnam Veteran Memorial Wall and whether members could afford to have it visit Oak Harbor. The cost would be $20,000. Some 58,000 Americans were killed and 300,000 were injured during the Vietnam war, adding to the ranks of disabled veterans . “Also coming is the Mobile Service Van which is set up by national service,” said Michel. “When we had it in the Safeway Parking lot we had 85
people show up. 75 percent didn’t know there was a Disabled American Veterans in Oak Harbor.” There are many other services the DAV can offer to veterans, including information and organizations they can contact to help veterans collect benefits for injuries, education, tuition or for help with what to do in the event a partner’s death. To commemorate the tenth anniversary of
September 11, a “Never Forget” challenge coin shown. The coins will be sold for $10 each, with all proceeds going to the local chapter. The coins will be available at the DAV office on the Seaplane Base.

Impaired driving panel scheduled for NAS Whidbey Island Memorial Day weekend, besides being the unofficial start to summer, is also one of the deadliest times of year on the nation’s roads, and impaired driving is a large part of the problem. To help ensure a safe holiday weekend, all active duty personnel, military dependents over age 12 and civilian
workers at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island are invited to attend an Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County presentation on May 26. The reserving command is Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 142, but organizers say there are plenty of seats still available for this safety training. The panel will start at 1 p.m. at the Skywarrior Theater. There is no late admittance, so those attending are encouraged to be seated by 12:45 p.m. The IDIPIC program is endorsed by the Naval Safe Center, Navy Alcohol and Drug Abuse Prevention Program and NAS Whidbey.

SALLY | FROM PAGE 1 “There was only air conditioning in the officers’ ward room, so when we got under way we put canvas scoops on the portholes and they forced fresh air down into the ship. It made it a little more tolerable for the crew,” said Westlund.
Interesting service Most of the time Westlund spent at anchor, Sally’s men tended to seaplanes in Cam Ranh Bay, Vietnam, from which many surveillance and anti-submarine patrol flights were made. “We pumped our millionth gallon of aviation fuel in Cam Ranh Bay, which is a lot for a seaplane tender,” Westlund said. The USS Salisbury Sound went to many Pacific ports in her day, including Yokosuka, Japan; Buckner Bay, Okinawa; Sangley Point in Manila Bay, Philippines; DaNang, South Vietnam; and Bangkok, Thailand, among others. Westlund liked Thailand and Japan but said one of his most interesting stops was Taiwan, where the
Nationalist party leader of China, Chiang Kai-shek, had fled in 1949 to avoid the communists and newly formed People’s Republic of China. There were posters and banners of Kai-shek’s picture stretching 30 and 40 feet high, he said. One day the chaplain came down to the pier and took Westlund to dinner at the Inland Christian Mission. The talk turned to the aborigines on the island who had been headhunters. The lived on a mountain with treacherous, but passable roads. Westlund and several other sailors found themselves on a bus going up the mountain. Once at top among the aborigines, Westlund heard about the headhunters’ conversion. “The headhunters told a missionary who was trying to explain Christianity to them that they could not believe in his God,” Westlund said. “(They said) ‘I won’t believe what you (missionaries) are saying unless you go to a hut and live for a time without dying.’” Westlund explained that

everyone who had stayed in the hut and spent the night had never come out alive. The headhunters told them if they survived, they would believe them. The missionaries accepted the offer and came out alive. All the aboriginals converted to Christianity and stopped headhunting. Westlund was offered a headhunters’ sword, but thought it might prove difficult to explain why the chaplain was crossing the quarter deck with it.
A long career Westlund was a protestant chaplain. He did the morning and evening prayers over the 1MC, the intercom system on the ship, luncheon prayer in the ward room and held services in the library or the mess decks. On October 27, 1966 the ship left Cam Ran Bay, Vietnam for the last time and pulled into Oak Harbor Nov. 21, 1967. That cruise was 11
months long and Westlund smiles when he remembers it. He served 22 years and retired in Oak Harbor as a commander. The Navy was a life he chose and he’s glad he chose it. As for seaplane tenders, he sailed on one of the last. Seaplanes and seaplane tenders came to an end with the Navy in 1967. The USS Salisbury Sound left Oak Harbor and anchored at Pier Delta in Bremerton.
“We took her to Bremerton in January, 1967 and she ended a 21-year career,” Westlund said. On July 8, 1968 an SP-5B Marlin of VP-40 at Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego made the last seaplane flight for the U.S. Navy. It closed the book on seaplane patrol operations and ended more than 50 years of seaplane service.

From boats to tents, Crescent Harbor Adventures can answer sporting questions By DENNIS CONNOLLY
Sure, Crescent Harbor offers plenty of boats to rent, but it isn’t just boats that draw the military customers, it’s everything else, too. Crescent Harbor Adventures, located on the Seaplane Base in the Marina behind the commissary, offers a full gamut of gear. They have camping gear — from tents and sleeping bags to lanterns and stoves. If you don’t feel like

Armed Forces Day May 21, 2011
In the United States, Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May, near the end of National Armed Forces Week. The day was created in 1949 to honor Americans serving in the five U.S. military branches – the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, and Coast Guard – following the consolidation of the military services in the Department of Defense. The first Armed Forces Day was celebrated by parades, open houses, receptions and air shows. In 1962, President Kennedy established Armed Forces Day as an official holiday. The United States’ longest running city-sponsored Armed Forces Day Parade is held in Bremerton, Washington, which celebrated its 61st Armed Forces Day Parade in 2009. There are approximately 7,300 Active Duty Military Personnel and family members residing on Whidbey Island. Wish them well today!
camper or camping trailer — family camping packages are available. You can get hiking and biking gear, canoes and kayaks and all the gear to go along with them, plus mountaineering, fishing and boating gear. If you’re in need of a boat, you’re in luck. Crescent Harbor Adventures has boats floating in the marina or ready to go on a trailer. They carry aluminum lake boats of various sizes, Bass boats, Navigator Sports boats, 18-foot center console boats and sailboats, both open and with cabins. But you might want to make reservations for boats after July 1, said Mike Rowe, recreational manager of Crescent Harbor Adventures and the Convergence Zone, because that’s the beginning of crabbing season, and that’s serious business. “It’s a big deal for the marina,” said Rowe. “Practically all of our boats are in the water until late
September during crabbing season and Friday we’re crazy with boats. And this year crabbing season is open Thursday through Monday.” Crab and shrimp pots and rings are available for rent at Crescent Harbor Adventures, as are fishing rods and gear. They also offer sailboat and kayak instruction. But if you want to get out on the water, you must be qualified to paddle, motor or sail the boat away from the dock. Anyone interested should have a Washington state boaters safety card, a certificate from the Coast Guard or other recognized boating organization. As far as the documentation goes, getting it is not that hard. Rowe said you can get some of it online, at Crescent Harbor Adventures, and there’s also a Navy sailing club on base or the Coast Guard. Just make sure you have a card before you decide to rent a boat.

It’s also wise to have a float plan, an extra person if using a bigger boat and a cell phone (not required, but eminently helpful). All can make it safer for you to rent a boat. These services are available to all active duty, reserve or retired military, according to Rowe. It’s easy to access the gear, but it can be habitforming. “A family from the middle of the country gets out here and they start renting camping gear and then a camping trailer,” said Rowe. “Then they’re looking to store their RV in our lot.” Crescent Harbor Adventures also has moor-
