A propos de cet article

Format is approximately 15 inches by 4 inches, printed on one side with a covered adhesive backing. This has been folded not quite at the halfway point. Text reads USS Antietam CVS-36/CG-54 Association 9701 Bowman Ave. Pensacola, FL 32534 [904] 478 -7481. Today's Antietam [the third with this name] was commissioned on June 6, 1987 in Baltimore, Md. USS Antietam (CG-54) is a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser of the United States Navy. The first deployment, beginning September 1988, took the ship to the Arabian Gulf for Kuwaiti tanker escort operations as part of Operation Earnest Will. Following the first full 18 month competitive cycle the Antietam was awarded the Battle "E", eight of nine departmental excellence awards and the LAMPS MK III Safety Award. The ship's second deployment, the Antietam entered the Arabian Gulf on August 6th assuming duties as anti air warfare commander for Middle East Force during the early days of Operation Desert Shield. USS Antietam (CV/CVA/CVS-36) was one of 24 Essex-class aircraft carriers built during and shortly after World War II for the United States Navy. The ship was the second US Navy ship to bear the name, and was named for the American Civil War Battle of Antietam (Maryland). Antietam was commissioned in January 1945, too late to serve actively in World War II. After serving a short time in the Far East, she was decommissioned in 1949. She was soon recommissioned for Korean War service, and in that conflict earned two battle stars. In the early 1950s, she was redesignated an attack carrier (CVA) and then an antisubmarine warfare carrier (CVS). After the Korean War she spent the rest of her career operating in the Atlantic, Caribbean, and Mediterranean. From 1957 until her deactivation, she was the Navy's training carrier, operating out of Florida. Antietam was fitted with a port sponson in 1952 to make her the world's first true angled-deck aircraft carrier. However, she received no major modernizations other than this, and thus throughout her career largely retained the classic appearance of a World War II Essex-class ship. She was decommissioned in 1963, and sold for scrap in 1974. In late November, 1951 USS Antietam began the only combat deployment of her career. During that tour, she made four cruises with Task Force 77 (TF 77), in the combat zone off the coast of the Korean peninsula. In between fighting assignments, she returned to Yokosuka, Japan. During each of those periods, her air group carried out a variety of missions in support of United Nations forces combating North Korean aggression. Those missions included combat air patrol, logistics interdiction, particularly against railroad and highway traffic, reconnaissance, antisubmarine patrols, and night heckler missions. From late November 1951 to mid-March 1952, Antietam's air group flew nearly 6,000 sorties of all types. She returned to Yokosuka on 21 March 1952 at the conclusion of her fourth cruise with TF 77 to begin preparations for her voyage back to the United States.
