MAJOR CONTINENTAL AND EXTRA-CONTINENTAL AVIATION SHORE ACTIVlTIES

The planned Naval Aviation Shore Establishnient, including Marine Activities, for the F i sca l Year 1958 i s reflected in the assigned missions of individual activities. These m i s s ~ o n s a r e based on the Basic Naval Establishment Plan for F i sca l Year 1958 and may be moddied a s revised SECNAVNOTICES a r e issued. Assigned tasks to accomplish the listed mission a r e promulgated by BUAER NOTICES (Series 5451) which supersede the OPNAV N(YT1CES f o r each activity. The "units/activities t o be supportedv 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 b a s e capa.city fo r each activity is contained in OPNAV INSTRUCTION 011010.7A and OPNAV INSTRUCTION 0011010.10 of 30 June 1956 o r revisions. Permanent duty stations of Naval uni ts a r e contained in the effective edition of OPNAV INSTRU- TION 3114.14.

In the following tabulation of b a s e s and satellite fields, a n Outlying Field (OLF) is a11 airfield having no established facilities in operation except a landing a r e a . It is designated a:; such by the Chief of Naval Operations in th i s document for the purpose of providing a landing a r e a whereon a i r c r a f t based a t established Naval a i r installations can conduct landing practice o r other exerc i ses which a r e best conducted away from those installations. An OLF is under 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 a n airfield having some faci l i t ies in operation iri addition t o 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 r c r a f t based a t established Naval air installations can b e r e - fueled and/or r e a r m e d for the conduct of gunnery pract ice. The facilities which a r e in operation, in addition to the landing a r e a , may include severa l o r a l l of the following: minimum personnel berthing and messing facilities, a i r traffic control, communication, c r a s h and rescue, refueling o r rea rming equipment. An A L F i s not a separate established Naval activity, and therefore is not listed in the "Catalog of Naval Activities". It is under the cognizanct! of a nearby parent a i r station to which a r e allocated minimum personnel, funds and equipment for i t s support. The parent air station may maintain a smal l ca re taker detachment a t an ALF.

AVIATION SHIPS

ATTACK CARRIER CLASS (CVA). T h e inventory presently includes twenty-one attack a i rc ra f t c a r r i e r s . The present s ta tus of new construction in the FORRESTAL Class i s 8s follows:

C INDEPENDENCE CVA-62 NAVSHIPYD New York Completion 6/!j/59 KITTY HAWK CVA-63 New York SB Corp. Completion 2/1/60 CONSTELLATION CVA-64 NAVSHIPYD New York Completion 7/ 15/61

A nuclear powered attack c a r r i e r is included in the FY 1958 budget.

Of the th ree CVA-41 Class Attack c a r r i e r s , two (F.D.ROOSEVELT and MIDWAY) have been converted (Project 110) and a r e now equipped with an angled and strengthened flight deck, s team catapults, Mark 7 a r res t ing gear , an enclosed bow and other improvements. The CORAL SEA is presently undergoing conversion (Project llOA) and is scheduled for zomple- tion in February 1960.

All remaining attack c a r r i e r s ( formerly the ESSEX Class) have received ei ther the Project 27A o r 27C conversion. Nine sh ips originally received the Project 27A conversion. Cjf these nine, seven have received in addition, Projecc 125. Project 125 includes an angled fligbt deck, improved elevators, enclosed bow and other changes. One remaining 27A ship (ORISIIANY) is receiving Pro jec t 125A which wil l encom2ass Mark 7 a r res t ing gear and steam catapillts a s well a s the angled flight deck. T h e ORISKANY i s now undergoing conversions and moljerniza- tion and is to be completed in June 1959. The LAKE CHAMPLAIN, WASP, and YORKTOWN have since been redesignated CVS. Of the s i x Project 27C ships, a l l have received an;led flight decks, equipped with Mark 7 a r r e s t i n g gear and s team catapults.

ASW SUPPORT CARRIERS (CVS). T h e nine unconverted ESSEX C l a s s c a r r i e r s have oeen r e - classified CVS. Of these 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 bet ter aeronautical equipment, a more effective close a i r s u p p ~ t and ASW vesse l than the CVL/CVE c l a s s c a r r i e r s which they replace. In addition, the CVS c a r r i e r h a s a limited capability of operating jet f ighters in their own defense, a capability which is lacking in the CVL/CVE c lasses . One shu.p, the ANTIETAM, h a s a n angled flight deck.

Five CVL c a r r i e r s in Reserve F lee t a r e to be redesignated CVHE pending the availability of funds.

Mission: T o coordinate and d i rec t a l l Naval and Marine Corps a i r technical and sp~scialized aviation t raining and such other training as may be assigned at such act ivi t ies as a r e placed under the cognizance of the Chief of Naval Air Technical Training.

PROGRAMS: I. By the above mission, the Chief of Naval Air Technical Training is assigned the

responsibility for training those Naval aviation personnel who keep naval a i rc ra f t flying. The training programs s e t forth below a r e in effect to fulfill that responsibility.

a. Class "Pt' Training Class "Pv training is provitled to aviation recru i t s to acquaint them with the

aeronaut ical organization (and the dut ies of airmen), to t rain them to a reasonably uniform level of educational background in the sc iences basic to r a t e and in-service training, and to select those bes t qualified for entrance into specific rating schools. The training is offered a t two schools, the Airman (P) School, Naval Air Technical Training Center, Norman, Oklarhoma and the Airman (P) School, Naval Air Technical Traihing Center, Jacksonville, Flor ida. The lat ter school p r o c e s s e s only WAVE and USMC recru i t s .

Training Load: Approximately 6,500 r e s e r v e pilots will utilize these facilities during regularly scheduled d r i l l s and active duty for training.- The dr i l l p rograms of the Naval Ai r Reserve a r e divided into 2 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 p rograms . In addition to the d r i l l p rograms , training is conducted for individuals in the Active Status Pool. P r o g r a m s of the Marine Ai r Reserve a r e divided into TWO GROUPS: the 48-drill and the 24-drill p rograms . All personnel attached to the d r i l l pay uni ts a r e in the 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 Congress o r proclaimed by the President , o r when otherwise authorized by law.

a. T h e 48-dri l l program is composed of combat and combat support type squadrons in addition to administrat ive Air Wing Staffs. These squadrons a r e organized and trained to con- form in composition and mission with their regular Navy and Marine counterparts. They attend 48-dri l ls p e r year in addition t o a n annual 14 day active duty training period.

b . T h e 24-drill program is composed of Auxiliary Ground Units (AGU1s), Bureau of Aeronaut ics Reserve Training Units (BARTU' s) and Marine Ai r Control Units (MAC'S) and Marine Air R e s e r v e Groups (MARG1s).

PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS

During FY 1958, i t is planned t o transition 300 pilots to new model a i rc ra f t by means of an e x t r a period of 14 days active duty for transitional training. T h i s transition will be pr i- mar i ly to V P and VS models. In addition, 100 enlisted men will be given a n e x t r a 14 days t raining in o r d e r to qualify in maintenance of the new a i r c r a f t and, in some cases , a s plane Captains. I t is planned that e x t r a active du1.y o r d e r s will be issued to 100 off icers and men for a 10 day course a t FAETULANT - PAC in order to qualify them for operation of the electronic equipment on these new model a i rc ra f t .
