From the beginning of Naval Aviation, aircraft carriers have played a role in nearly every world conflict with the exception of World War I, the Iraq/Iran and the Afghan/Soviet Union Wars.
A portal to the past and a gateway to the future best describe my publications on U. S. Aircraft Carrier Deployments at 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 pirate’s 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 Hollywood’s 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.
