    Enterprise Carrier Strike Group Enters 6th Fleet

    USS ENTERPRISE, At Sea (NNS) -- The ships and embarked squadrons from the Enterprise Carrier Strike Group (CSG) entered U.S. 6th Fleet's Area of Responsibility (AOR) Jan. 20.

    This milestone marks the culmination of more than two years of work for thousands of Sailors aboard the world's oldest, largest and first nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.

    USS Enterprise (CVN 65), CSG 12, Destroyer Squadron 2, the guided-missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55), the guided-missile destroyers USS Barry (DDG 52), USS Bulkeley (DDG 84) and USS Mason (DDG 87) and the eight squadrons of Carrier Air Wing (CVW) 1 entered the AOR, an imaginary line that transfers operational tasking authority for the CSG from U.S. 2nd Fleet.

    While in the area, the Enterprise CSG will conduct the full range of maritime operations and theater security cooperation efforts in concert with coalition, joint, interagency and other partners in order to improve maritime safety and security.

    "We already have an extensive schedule of operations and exercises with our maritime partners throughout the region," said Rear Adm. Terry B. Kraft, commander, Enterprise CSG. "The Mediterranean Sea is a critical sea lane in our global economy and remains secure because of the strong relationships between the navies that operate in the area."

    Operating with allied navies and building upon already strong relationships is a key tenant in the Maritime Strategy. Also key to building such relationships is developing our Sailors and Marines to better understand the cultures, history and languages of the region, according to Capt. Dee L. Mewbourne, commanding officer of Enterprise.

    "We have trained hard to get to this day and now look forward to learning from and building upon the relationships of our maritime allies in the area," Mewbourne said. "This team of Sailors and Marines has honed its skills at sea, but is also looking forward to experiencing the culture and history of this beautiful part of the world."

    This deployment, the 21st for the carrier since its commissioning in 1961, also marks the first deployment of the centennial year of naval aviation.

    "For 100 years, we have operated aircraft from the decks of warships. It's appropriate that our most accomplished active aircraft carrier is the first to deploy this year," Kraft said.

    Following its mission in 6th Fleet, the CSG is scheduled to operate in the 5th Fleet AOR to support maritime security operations (MSO) and theater security cooperation efforts.

    MSO help set the conditions for security and stability in the maritime environment, as well as complement the counterterrorism and security efforts of regional nations. These operations seek to disrupt violent extremists' use of the maritime environment as a venue for attack or to transport personnel, weapons or other material.

    USS Essex Departs for Western Pacific Patrol

    [IMG]

    The forward-deployed amphibious assault ship USS Essex (LHD 2) departed Sasebo, Japan Jan. 25 to begin a series of partnership-building exercises throughout the Western Pacific.

    The deployment will feature several bilateral maritime training exercises designed to build relationships and enhance operational readiness between U.S. and Asian-Pacific partner nations throughout the region.

    "Because Essex is permanently forward-deployed, she has the unique ability to continuously engage and exercise with partners and allies in the Western Pacific, as well as forge new relationships with nations with whom we have operated less frequently," said Capt. David Fluker, Essex' commanding officer. "She remains always ready to respond to crises in the region, whether it be by providing assisting during relief efforts following a natural disaster, offering routine humanitarian assistance or by reassuring our friends in support of treaties or national objectives."

    During the deployment, Essex and the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit will participate in exercise Cobra Gold 2011, an annual U.S.-Thailand co-sponsored joint coalition exercise designed to ensure regional peace and stability.

    The deployment will also serve as a first for many of Essex' newest Sailors, many of which will enjoy their first taste of life underway.

    "I'm really looking forward to a couple of things, like the opportunity to learn my job and having a chance to visit all of the ports that I hear we're going to," said Aviation Boatswain's Mate (Handling) Airman Rachel Walker, of Miami. "It sounds really exciting."

    Fluker assumed command of Essex Jan. 20 following an 18-month as the ship's executive officer.

    "I look forward to continuing to work with this remarkable team, he said. "I am constantly inspired with the dedication and unmatched flexibility that the Sailors and Marines of Essex demonstrate."

    Essex is part of the forward-deployed Essex Amphibious Ready Group and is underway in the Western Pacific region.

    USS Enterprise, Leyte Gulf Transit Strait of Gibraltar

    [IMG]

    STRAIT OF GIBRALTAR (NNS) -- The deployed aircraft carrier USS Enterprise (CVN 65) and guided-missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55) successfully passed through the Strait of Gibraltar Jan. 31, bringing the ships from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean Sea as they continue to operate in the 6th Fleet area of responsibility.

    With the ships' homeport in Norfolk, Va. now far behind, Sailors are busy conducting flight operations and cooperative missions with allies in the region in support of maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts.

    The Strait of Gibraltar is a narrow strait which separates Europe and Africa by only seven miles at its closest point and connects the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea. The depth ranges from 980 to 3,000 feet, which makes it difficult to navigate a 90,000-ton warship.

    Quartermaster 3rd Class Tom Sanborn, a quartermaster of the watch aboard Enterprise, said to successfully complete a transit through the strait, skill, planning and concentration are required by all hands.

    "There's a lot of shallow water, and in some areas the land is less than five nautical miles from the ships on either side," said Sanborn. "There is no room for error."

    The process of transiting the strait requires the quartermasters on a ship's bridge to take constant measurements of the ship's position, both electronically and manually by taking bearings and visually watching the distance from the land.

    "The entire process usually takes several hours," said Sanborn. "We take bearings and make sure we're in deep enough water every two minutes, and we cross reference the data with what we see on our screens electronically."

    The strait is dangerous to transit for other reasons including traffic from other ships. Sanborn said that quartermasters spend hours to prepare to make sure the charts are accurate and the equipment works to ensure a safe transit.

    "We call sea and anchor detail before going through the strait, so our Deck department is standing by, ready to drop the anchor in case of an emergency," said Sanborn. "We only let our master helmsmen drive the ship during the transit."

    Transiting important chokepoints takes the skill of multiple departments aboard the ships. The engineering departments must ensure all propulsion capabilities are operating perfectly in addition to many other duties.

    The ships' security divisions and helicopter squadron provide physical security to the ships, and the safety departments ensure everyone mitigates risks. It's an all-ship effort for both.

    The transit is important as a strategic statement as well, said Rear Adm. Terry B. Kraft, commander of Enterprise Carrier Strike Group. "Entering the Mediterranean in the shadow of the rock of Gibraltar is always symbolic to me," he said. "It sends a strong signal that the Enterprise Strike Group has arrived to operate and integrate with our partners in the region."

    Chief Quartermaster (SW/AW) Jacob Lozano, Enterprise Navigation Department's leading chief petty officer, said the process of leaving the Atlantic Ocean and entering the Mediterranean Sea went smoothly because of the entire ship's hard work and professionalism.
    "We have a lot of really well-trained Sailors on this ship," said Lozano. "But we only put our best people on watch for the transit."

    Ensuring the freedom of navigation through vital sea lanes is a core responsibility of the Navy and has ensured that the 90% of goods that travel by sea are free to do so.

    Enterprise Carrier Strike Group consists of Enterprise, guided-missile cruiser USS Leyte Gulf (CG 55), guided-missile destroyers USS Bulkeley (DDG 84), USS Barry (DDG 52) and USS Mason (DDG 87); USNS Arctic (T-AOE 8), Carrier Air Wing 1 and Destroyer Squadron 2.

    El submarino nuclear USS Los Angeles es puesto en reserva luego de 34 años de servicio

    [IMG]

    “Hace 34 años, una tripulacion simiar a esa corrio abordo del Los Angeles, dando asi vida a este cuerpo de metal,” dijo el teniente comandante Darrel Lewis, segundo del Los Angeles y maestro de ceremonias para la ocasion. “Hoy, aunqe no queramos, le decimos adios.”

    Lanzado en 1974 y comisionado en noviembre 13, 1976, Los Angeles fue el primero de una nueva clase de submarinos de ataque rapido, diseñado para reemplazar a la clases Sturgeon, Skipjack y Permit de submarinos nucleares. Un total de 62 submarinos clase-Los Angeles fueron construidos entre 1972 y 1996, convirtiendolo en la clase mas prolifica de submarinos de propulsion nuclear en el mundo.
    “El bote sirvio orgullosamente, asi como los otros botes de esta clase, y contribuyo a la victoria en la Guerra Fria en maneras que el publico general nunca lo sabra,” dijo Harrison.
    La cuarta unidad de la Armada de EEUU en llevar este nombre – los otros fueron un tanquero de la primera guerra mundial (ID 1470), un aeroestatico (ZR 3) y un crucero pesado de la era de la Guerra Fria (CA 135) – Los Angeles recibio varios honores durante sus 3 decadas de servicio, incluyendo 7 medallas de eficiencia de batalla, 7 comendaciones por unidad meritoria y una comendacion como unidad naval. Realizo 16 despliegues, participando en 4 ejercicios multinacionales RIMPAC.
    Los Angeles hzo tambien historia en mayo de 1977 cuando el entonces presidente Jimmy Carter, el unico presidente de EEUU en calificar en submarinos, y su esposa se unieron al almirante Hyman Rickover para una demostracion de las capacidades del submarino en la mar.
    El proceso de despedida del submarino empezo el 23 de enero con la ceremonia publica de decomision en el puerto de la ciudad de Los Angeles. La nave ha sido puesta en reserva.
    La clase Los Angeles fue seguida por las clases Seawolf y Virginia.

    NUEVA NAVE PARA EL COMANDO MILITAR DE TRANSPORTE NAVAL DE EEUU

    El comando militar de transporte naval (MSC) aceptó la entrega de su nueva nave de transporte de carga y municiones, USNS Washington Chambers, durante una ceremonia corta en los astilleros de General Dynamics NASSCO en San Diego. La nave, que fue bautizada y lanzada el 11 de septiembre de 2010, en San Diego y honra al capitán de la marina Washington Irving Chambers, pionero en la aviación naval. Chambers realizó el primer vuelo en el mundo de un avión lanzado desde un buque de guerra el 14 de noviembre de 1910. El vuelo confirmó el potencial de la aviación naval embarcada. Desde su lanzamiento, la nave ha estado experimentando una serie de pruebas y ensayos en su preparación para la entrega al MSC. El USNS Washington Chambers es la undécima de 14 naves de la clase T-AKE para transporte de carga y municiones. Once servirán como fuerza logística de combate y se espera que tres se unan a los escuadrones marítimos que transportan carga estratégica de combate en el mar, permitiendo una entrega rápida a los combatientes en tierra. T-AKE tienen una tripulación de 104 marinos de la función pública que trabajan para el MSC y 11 marineros de la armada que proporcionan la ayuda operacional y proveen la coordinación. La T-AKE es la más nueva clase de naves construidas para el MSC, sustituyendo a las envejecidas naves del MSC, Tales como las de la clase Kilauea y Marte que cumplían una la sola misión de transportar municiones o las de la clase Sirius. El MSC opera aproximadamente 110 naves no de combate, con tripulación civil que reabastecen a las naves de la marina de Estados Unidos. Su misión estratégica es llevar la carga de combate por mar alrededor del mundo y proveer a las fuerzas desplegadas de Estados Unidos y sus socios de la coalición.
