U. S. AIRCRAFT CARRIER DEPLOYMENT AND USS CORAL SEA CV-42, CVB-43, CVA-43 and CV-43 HISTORY POWER POINT PRESENTATION

 

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. 

 

The stories of sailors are posted on the internet and their courageous actions, hardships endured and self sacrifice will never be forgotten at the USS Coral Sea CVA-43 Association and USS Coral Sea Tribute Site
