MAJOR CONTINENTAL AND EXTRA-CONTINENTAL AVIATION SHORE ACTIWI'IES

The planned Naval Aviation Shore Establishment, including Marine Activities, for the E'iscal Year 1957 is reflected in the assigned missio~rls of individual activities. These missions a r e based on the Basic Naval Establishment P lan for Fiscal Year 1957 and may be modified as revised SECNAV NOTICES a r e issued. Assigned tasks to accomplish the listed mission a r e promulgated by BUAER NOTICES (Series 5451) which supersede the OPNAV NOTICES for each activity. The "units/activities to be supportedft by individual activities a r e designated by the Chief of Naval Operations and will be listed in the appropriate BUAER NOTICE 5451. The eventual planned pre-D-Day base capacity for each activity is contained in OPNAV INSTRUCTION 011010.7A and OPNAV INSTRTJCTION 0011010.10 of 30 June 1956. Permanent duty stations of Naval units a r e contained in tlhe effective edition of OPNAV INSTRUCTFDN 3111.14.

In the following tabulation of bases and satellite fields a n Outlying Field (OLF) is a n airfield having no established facilities in operation except a landing a rea . It is designated as such by the Chief of Naval Operations in this document for the purpose of providing a landing a r e a whereon a i rc ra f t based a t established Naval air installations can conduct landing practice o r other exerc i ses which a r e bes t conducted away from those installations. An OLF is unl3er the cognizance of a nearby parent a i r station to which a r e allocated minimum funds for the maintenance of the OLF. No personnel a r e based a t a n OLF.

An Auxiliary Landing Field (ALF) is an airfield having some facilities in operation in acidition to a landing a r e a . It is designated as such by the Chief of Naval Operations for the purpose of providing a n airfield a t which a i rc ra f t based s ~ t established Naval air installations can be r e - fueled and/or rea rmed for the conduct of gunnery practice. The facilities which a r e i n operation, in addition to the landing a rea , may include several o r a l l of the following: minimum personnel berthing and messing facilities, air traffic control, communications, c r a s h and rescue, refueling or rea rming equipment. Ain ALF is not a separate established Naval activity, and therefore is not listed in the "Catalog of Naval ActivitiesTf. It is under the cognizar~ce of a nearby parent a i r s tauon to which a r e allocated minimum personnel, funds and equipment for i t s support. The parent a i r station may maintain a smal l caretaker detachment a t a n ALF.

AVIATION SHIPS

ATTACK CARRIER CLASS CVA . The inventory presently includes twenty attack a i rc ra f t c a r r i e r s . The present s t a t i s of 'new construction in the FORRESTAL Class is a s follows:

RANGER CVA-61 Newport News SB & DD Co. INDEPENDENCE CVA-62 NAVSHIPYD New York KITTY HAWK CVA-63 New York SB Corp. CONSTELLATION CVA-64 NAVSHIPYD New York

A nuclear powered attack c a r r i e r is scheduled for the FY 1958 program.

Of the three CVA-41 Class attack c a r r i e r s , one (F.D.ROOSEVELT) has been converted (Pro- ject 110) and is now equipped with an angled and strengthened flight deck, steam' catapults, Mark 7 a r res t ing gear , a n enclosed bow and other improvements. The MIDWAY is presently undergoing conversion and is scheduled for completion in August of 1957. The CORAL SEA will commence conversion in April 1957.

All remaining attack c a r r i e r s (formerly the ESSEX Class) have received either the Project 27A o r 27C conversion. Nine ships received the Project 27A conversion. Of these nine, s ix have received in addition, Project 125 and another will complete this improvement in January 1957. Project 125 includes a n angled flight deck, improved elevators, enclosed bow and other changes. The two remaining 27A ships (ORISKANY and LAKE CHAMPLAIN) a r e expected to get Project 125A which will encompass Mark 7 a r res t ing gear and steam catapults a s well a s the angled flight deck.

Of the s ix Pro jec t 27C ships, three received angled flight decks (SHANGRI LA, LEXINGTON and BON HOMME RICHARD) and three retained axial decks. All Project 276 c a r r i e r s , however, a r e equipped with Mark 7 a r res t ing gear and steam catapults. The HANCOCK, INTREPID and TICONDEROGA a r e scheduled to complete angled deck conversion in November 1956, April 1957 and March 1957 respectively.

ASW SUPPORT CARRIERS (CVS). The nine unconverted ESSEX Class c a r r i e r s and the ENTERPRISE (CVS-6) have been reclassified CVS. Of these ten c a r r i e r s only seven a r e active. The CVS c a r r i e r s a r e by virtue of their speed, size, and better aeronautical equipment, a more effective close a i r support and ASW-vessel than the CVL/CVE c lass c a r r i e r s which they replace. In addition, the CVS c a r r i e r has a limited capability of operating jet f ighters in their own defense, a capability which i s lacking in the CVL/CVE c lasses . One ship, the ANTIETAM h a s an angled flight deck.

The following char t s depict the current s ta tus of aviation ships for 1 October 1956.

NAVAL AIR RESERVE FACILITIES

Naval Air Reserve Facilities a r e facilities for flight and technical a i r training established on municipal o r other than Naval Air Stations to support and t rain squadrons, units and individuals in the Naval and Marine Air Reserve Training Programs; wherein the scope of training and the number of units do not justify the establishment of a naval a i r station. NARF's a r e established a t the following locations:

Birmingham, Alabama Spokane, Washington

DETACHMENTS

Naval Air Reserve Training Detachments a r e established to provide flight training for Auxiliary Air Units where lack of accessibility to the parent station makes ferrying of a i rc ra f t to AAU's on dr i l l weekends impracticable. Paren t activities a r e provided with appropriate numbers of additional personnel and a i rc ra f t in o rder to permit permanent flight operations a t these fields. Detachments of the following stations a r e planned for operation a t the indicated locations during the coming fiscal year:

PARENT STATION

NAS Seattle NAS Denver NAS Dallas

DETACHMENT LOCATION

Salem, Oregon Salt Lake City, Utah Houston, Texas

Training Load: Approximately 7,000 r e s e r v e pilots will utilize these facilities during regularly scheduled dr i l l s and active duty for training. It is anticipated that approximately 400 aviators recently released from active duty will affiliate with organized squadrons during the year and that a somewhat l e s s e r cumber will drop out for various reasons. The dr i l l p rograms of the Naval Air Reserve a r e divided into 3 groups in t e r m s of the number of d r i l l s authorized annually in a pay status: the 48-drill, the 24-drill and the 12-drill programs. In addition to the d r i l l p rograms training is conducted for individuals in the Active Status Pool. Programs of the Marine Air Reserve a r e divided into two groups: the 48-drill and the 24-drill programs. All personnel attached to the d r i l l pay units a r e in the READY RESERVE and the Active Status Pool is a l so largely made up of READY RESERVE personnel. READY RESERVE personnel may be ordered to active duty ei ther in t ime of war, in t ime of national emergency declared by the Con- g r e s s o r prqclaimed by the President , o r when otherwise authorized by law. STANDBY RESERVE personnel may be ordered to active duty only in t ime of war o r national emergency declared by Congress o r when otherwise authorized by law.

a . The'48-drill program is composed of combat and combat support type squadrons in addition to administrative Air Wing Staffs. These squadrons a r e organized and trained to conform in composition and mission with their regular Navy and Marine counterparts. They attend 48 dr i l l s per year in addition to an annual 14 day active duty training period.

b . The 24-drill program is composed of Auxiliary Air Units and Auxiliary G r a n d Units and Marine Ai r Control Units. These wits t ra in individuals to supplement the Naval Estab- lishment upon mobilization. They attend 24 dr i l l s per year in addition to an annual 14 day active duty training period.


c . The 12-drill program is composed of Bureau of Aeronautics Reserve Training Units (BARTU's). These units t rain individuals for specific Navy mobilization billets in the Bureau of Aeronautics and i t s field activities. They attend 12 dri l ls per year in addition to an annual 14 day active duty training period.

d. The Active $tatus Pool i s composed of personnel in a non-drill pay status who a r e car r ied on the rol ls of the District Commandant. They attend no dri l ls but may volunteer to attend an annual 14 day active duty training period.

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

During FY 1957, i t is planned to transition 575 pilots to new model a i rc ra f t by means of a n ex t ra period of 14 days active duty for transitional training. This transition will be pr i- mari ly to jets, however, a substantial portion will be to new V P and VS models. In addlition, many enlisted men will be given an extra 14 days training in o rder to qualify in maintenance of the new a i rc ra f t and, in some cases, a s plane Captains. It is planned that extra active duty o r d e r s will be issued to 300 officers and men 'lor a 10 day course a t FAETULANT - PAC in order to qualify them for operation of the electronic equipment on these new model aircraf t .
