Clary deck tried to reduce the Supe Carrier do Ign d. Eisenhower s Speed somewhere we is of Sar Dinia As 40 knots of cold wind ripped the tops off id foot seas. Tremy five knots of wind Over the deck is Ideal said the Carrier s skipper As the naval giant headed for the French port of Toulon. "1 like to it cup in thai Way nil he time so that pilots always have the same feeling on Landing. These arc the worst seas we have seen since in Vang Norfolk but the Guys seem to do a better Job of flying when the conditions arc Adverse h gets the Ike and its accompanying ships last month relieved warships entered around tilt 40-year-old, 65.000-Ion Carrier Coral sea. The introduction of the Ike into the Mediterranean gives us the 6th fled a better readiness posture said rear adm. Roland g. Guilbault commander of task Force 60, the 6lh Fleet s Battle Force. The nuclear powered Eisenhower is one of the world s largest warships. The Carrier s iwo nuclear re actors can provide the Energy for 13 years of operation without refuelling or the equivalent of steaming nearly million Miles. It can move faster than 30 Knoll for extended periods. One knot is about 1.15 Mph. And because the Carrier s reactors Don t require conventional fuel Lite additional space is used for air Craft fuel ordnance storage and spare parts. Consequently the i carries 70 percent More aircraft Ord Nance and 50 percent Mure air Wing personnel than conventional carriers. The huge Carrier also has s-3a Viking anti submarine warfare patrol planes aircraft the Coral sen lacked. They give the task Force a significant submarine defense system. Fully loaded the Ike displaces 95.000 tons and has a 4.5-acre flight deck to support As Many As 100 aircraft Lac built of them 4s. There arc a number of things Beck can do to keep conditions right so that those 100 aircraft can talc Olta id land. If the winds arc Light say at 12 Simois. He can head the Ike into the wind at 11 knots to come up with the magic total of 25 knots. However when winds arc blowing at 40 knots there in t much he can do. He Lias already reduced the Carrier s Speed to 31jrats. But Ming at such a slow Speed makes things easy fully loaded the Ike displace ions and his a 4.5-uere night do a support a Many at 100 aircraft. For the ship s navigator cmdr Pete Maizc. Who does t have to do much reckoning to ensure the Ike does t stray from its assigned area. Beck and Maxwell decided to Back Down the Carrier. We did it operated in reverse at 12 or 13 knots during our Shakedown and it worked Fine. Well try it at 10 knots and try to reduce the wind from 40 knots to around 30 knots. If in give them More Ideal wind All the Bill or said mini will. While Beck and Maxwell work to put their plan into action capt. Doug Knapp the Man who orchestrates flying operations keeps Landing one returning aircraft after another. Knappe Ltd if pilots liked the wintry weather Clear but Windy As a Pilot i d Lake my chances on a High sea stale As Long As 1 could we for Many Miles. A High sea state docs i cause us any problems Knapp said the skipper echoed those comments. If in is a Choice of having them jump out of the planes or land them obviously we will land pm. No matter How High the weather problems aside the of the Eisen Hower makes flying conditions belter. The bigger the Carrier the better. There is More room to land and we Don t Pilch around As much As a smaller Beck said. This is la time to come to the Mediterranean.
