Here's an interesting tidbit that I got while reading Airtime's book about the Phantom (looks great so far). Apparantly, during the preliminary design stage, McDonnell and an aide went around talking to naval aviators to see what they wanted. Then, they talked to the aviators' wives about...

Can anyone tell me the system by which USN Aircraft Carrier deployments were named or numbered during the Viet Nam era?; and if so, what was the name by which the last 'carrier deployment was known? Thanks for any info.

I am reading a book entitled "October Fury" by CAPT Peter A. Huchthausen, USN (Ret.). In October, 1962 he was a JO stationed aboard USS BLANDY (DD-943), part of Task Group Alpha built around USS RANDOLPH (CVS-15). He participated, up close and personal, in the Cuban Missle Crisis. He later went...
