2010-2012 Operations

edit

Homeport change

edit
 
Departing Norfolk (January 12, 2010)

On 12 January 2010, Carrier Strike Group One (CARSTRKGRU 1), led by the USS Carl Vinson (pictured), departed Naval Station Norfolk for its new homeport of San Diego.[1][2] Squadrons from Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17) embarked aboard Carl Vinson were:[3]

The strike group's first mission was to transit around South America in the spring of 2010 as the Carl Vinson relocates to its new homeport of Naval Station San Diego, California. Carl Vinson also participates in bi-lateral exercises with naval units from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, and Peru while circumnavigating South America.[1][2] Carl Vinson arrived at its new homeport on 12 April 2010 following a three-month underway period.[2]

Operation Unified Response

edit
Main article: Operation Unified Response
 
Operation Unified Response
 
Southern Seas (2010)

Due to the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the operational focus of Carrier Strike Group One and Carrier Air Wing 17 was changed to provide much needed humanitarian assistance and set up a preliminary base of operations for helicopter operations.[1]

On 12 January 2010, just hours after the 2010 Haiti earthquake, Carl Vinson was ordered to redirect from its current deployment in the North Atlantic Ocean to Haiti to contribute to the relief effort as part of Operation Unified Response. Upon receiving orders from the United States Southern Command, the CARSTRKGRU 1 proceeded to Mayport, Florida where the ships loitered offshore to receive additional supplies and helicopters.[4][5][6] On 15 January, the Carl Vinson arrived off the coast of Port-au-Prince (pictured) to provide humanitarian aid, with its trained personnel, emergency relief supplies, and 19 helicopters on deck.[7] On 16 January, the Bunker Hill arrived in Haiti to assist the Carl Vinson.[8]

In addition to providing medical relief, Carl Vinson's excess desalination capacity proved to be critical to providing fresh drinkable water to Haiti's population during the earthquake relief.[9] In total, the Carl Vinson delivered 1,095,442 lbs. (496,884 kg.) of food; 147,591 gallons (558,693 litres) of potable water; and more than 40,000 lbs. (18,143 kg.) of medical supplies. The ship's medical team treated 60 patients. The Vinson's embarked helicopters flew 1,299 sorties, conducted 1,152 medical evacuations, and delivered more than 2,900,000 lbs. (1,315,418 kg.) of cargo ashore.[10]

On February 1, the carrier Carl Vinson, the cruiser Bunker Hill, and the oceanographic survey ship Henson ended their mission and departed Haiti although ten of Vinson's helicopters remained to support the relief effort.[11]

Southern Seas 2010

edit

On March 2010, during her transit around South America, the carrier strike group participated in Southern Seas 2010 naval maneuvers with the Brazilian, Uruguayan, and Argentine navies (pictured) as part of U.S. Naval Forces Southern Command's Partnership of the Americas program.[12][13] Carrier Strike Group One also paid port visits to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and Callao, Peru.[3][14]

CARSTRKGRU 1 training

edit

Carrier Strike Group One prepared for its 2010 deployment through an Fleet Response Training Plan (FRTP) that included Fleet Synthetic Training Group (FSTGC) and Warfare Commander events, Navy Tactical Planners and Network Centric Warfare Commander's Courses, and a Combined Warfare Commander's Course.[10] For example, during July 2010, the Vinson underwent its Combat Systems Ship's Qualification Trials (CSSQT), which included launching its newly installed Evolved Sea Sparrow Surface Missiles (ESSM) and Rolling Airframe Missiles (RAM) anti-aircraft weapon systems under simulated combat conditions.[15][16] Additionally, CARSTRKGRU 1 was responsible for the training and readiness of CVW-17's deployment preparations through Squadron-level Advanced Readiness Program and Air Wing Integrated Fallon Detachment training.[10]

2010-2011 WESTPAC deployment

edit
 
Passing exercise with the Royal Malaysian Navy in the Strait of Malacca (Jan. 26, 2011)

On 30 November 2010, Carrier Strike Group One departed Naval Air Station North Island for a three-week composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX) and its 2010–2011 deployment to the Western Pacific (WESTPAC), Indian Ocean, and Persian Gulf under the command of Rear Adm. Samuel Perez.[17][18] Also, 20 January 2010, the guided-missile destroyer Higgins departed Naval Station San Diego for an independent deployment in the Fifth Fleet area of responsibility (AOR) and was subsequently assigned to Carrier Strike Group One.[19][20]

This was the first Western Pacific deployment for Vinson in more than five years since the ship entered its Refueling Complex Overhaul in the fall of 2005.[17][21][22] This was also the first deployment for Bunker Hill following the completion of its Cruiser Modernization overhaul, the first Ticonderoga-class guided-missile cruiser to complete this mid-life modernization.[21][23] Finally, this was the maiden deployment for the guided-missile destroyer Stockdale and the recently re-established Carrier Strike Group One itself.[18][21][22]

On 31 December 2010, the strike group entered the U.S. Seventh Fleet's area of responsibility, and on 6 May 2011, Carrier Strike Group One returned to the U.S. Seventh Fleet area of responsibility (AOR) after spending 95 days supporting maritime theater security operations for Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan (OEF-A) and Operation New Dawn (OND) in the Fifth Fleet AOR.[21][22][24] On 14 May 2011, a delegation led by President of the Philippines Benigno Aquino III flew out to Carrier Strike Group One to tour its flagship, the carrier Carl Vinson.[25] On 15 June 2011, the carrier Carl Vinson returned to its homebase of Naval Station San Diego, California.[26]

Seventh Fleet operations

edit

On 10 January 2011, two guided-missile destroyers from Destroyer Squadron One (DESRON 1), Stockdale and Gridley, and their embarked detachments from Helicopter Anti-Submarine Squadron Light 49 (HSL-49) participated in a Passing Exercise (PASSEX) with the JMSDF helicopter destroyer Kurama in the Sea of Japan. Later in the same day, Stockdale and Gridley participated in separate PASSEX maneuvers with units of the Republic of Korea Navy.[29]

Fifth Fleet operations

edit
 
Anti-piracy operations in Arabian Sea (May 5, 2011)
Carrier air operations
edit

On 3 February 2011, the group began conducting combat air operations over Afghanistan, relieving the departing Carrier Strike Group Nine led by the carrier Abraham Lincoln.[30] On 13 April 2011, an F/A-18 strike fighter from squadron VFA-113 made a successful single-engine landing on board the Carl Vinson, bursting in flames in the process. However, no fatalities occurred due to the fire-fighting efforts of the flight deck personnel.[31] Carrier Air Wing 17 flew 1,656 combat air sorties, logging a total of 9,140 flight hours while the ordnance expenditure added up to 33 bombs and 2,970 rounds of 20-mm ammunition.[21][22][24]

Operation Neptune's Spear
edit

On 2 May 2011, following Operation Neptune's Spear, the body of Osama bin Laden, the founder of the al-Qaeda terror group, was buried at sea after religious rites were conducted aboard the USS Carl Vinson operating in the Northern Arabian Sea.[32]

Operation Ocean Shield
edit

On 5 May 2011, as part of NATO's counter-piracy Operation Ocean Shield, the carrier Carl Vinson, the cruiser Bunker Hill, and the Turkish frigate Giresun responded to a distress call from the Panamanian-flagged, Chinese-owned bulk carrier Full City. An Indian Navy Tu-142 maritime patrol aircraft located the Full City, and while Giresun boarded the merchant vessel, Bunker Hill and its embarked HS-49 helicopters intercepted a dhow believed to be the 'mothership' for the pirate attack (pictured). Bunker Hill's VBSS boarding party seized weapons and other equipment commonly used in piratcy, and the boarding party also sank a small skiff being towed by the dhow. Giresun's boarding party found the Full City's Chinese crew safe and in control of their ship.[24][33][34] Strike group commander Admiral Samuel Perez noted:

This operation demonstrated that our presence here successfully deters destabilizing activities and is effective in upholding lawful maritime order. The versatility inherent to a carrier strike group allowed for quick coordination with naval and Coast Guard assets from Turkey and India to successfully prevent a pirate attack against the motor vessel Full City.[33]

2011 training exercises

edit

On 9 September 2011, Carrier Strike Group One (CARSTRKGRU 1) returned to San Diego after a three-day underway period off the coast of southern California. The strike group got underway again on 12 September 2011 to begin Fleet Replacement Squadron Carrier Qualifications (FRS-CQ) flight training, and after returning to post, departed for carrier qualification (CQ) exercises with Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17).[48] The Canadian destroyer HMCS Algonquin and frigate HMCS Ottawa joined CARSTRKGRU 1 in bi-lateral task group exercises off the coast of southern California.[49][50] On 16 September 2011, Carrier Strike Group One was underway for its Carrier Strike Group Sustainment Exercise (SUSTEX).[2]

On 26 September 2011, Carrier Strike Group One was visited by Vice Admiral Gerald R. Beaman, Commander U.S. Third Fleet, while the carrier Carl Vinson and Carrier Air Wing Seventeen were completing operations off the coast of southern California prior to visiting San Francisco for Fleet Week between 8–11 October 2011 following a stop-over in Hawaii.[51][52][53]

During composite training unit exercise (COMPTUEX), Carrier Air Wing Seventeen (CVW-17) from the carrier Carl Vinson and Carrier Air Wing Two (CVW-2) from the USS Abraham Lincoln conducted numerous large-force strike drills for a joint task force exercise (JTFEX), an integrated battle force exercise designed to test the capabilities of strike groups operating with multinational forces in a join environment. Large-force air strikes involved simulated targeting and destruction of critical targets while suppressing enemy radars and anti-aircraft fire.[54]

On 28 October 2011, Carrier Strike Group One completed a four-day Fleet Synthetic Training-Joint Exercise (FST-J) involving joint forces from with the U.S. Army, the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Air Force, as well as coalition naval forces from Australia and Canada. These pierside exercises were completed in a virtual environment simulating real-world battle problems, and they integrate geographically-separated joint forces in a tactically and operationally demanding training environment. Within such a virtual environment, Tactical Group Training Pacific trainers have total control of the battle problems, and they make real-time adjustments based on the performance of the strike group, allowing battle problems to be tailored while maximizing training objectives.[55]

Change of Command

edit

On 11 November 2011, Rear Admiral Thomas K. Shannon relieved Rear Admiral Samuel Perez as Commander Carrier Strike Group One (CARSTRKGRU-1) in ceremonies held aboard the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson. Admiral Shannon's previous assignment was as the deputy chief of staff for Operations, Training and Readiness, U.S. Pacific Fleet.[56]

2011–2012 WESTPAC Deployment

edit

On 30 November 2011, Carrier Strike Group One (CARSTRKGRU 1) departed Naval Air Station North Island, California, on its scheduled Western Pacific (WESTPAC) deployment under the command of Rear Admiral Thomas K. Shannon, USN, the Commander Carrier Strike Group One (COMCARSTRKGRU 1).[57][58]

Fifth Fleet operations

edit

On 9 January 2012, Carrier Strike Group One entered the U.S. Fifth Fleet's area of responsibility.[59] Also, on 9 January 2012, Carrier Strike Group One joined Carrier Strike Group Three, led by the carrier John C. Stennis, in the North Arabian Sea, with Carrier Strike Group Nine, led by the carrier Abraham Lincoln, enroute to the Arabian Sea amid rising tension between the United States and the Islamic Republic of Iran over U.S. naval access to the Strait of Hormuz.[60] Also, during its maiden deployment, the new British guided-missile destroyer Daring operated with Carrier Strike Group One and Carrier Strike Group Nine in the Persian Gulf and North Arabian Sea.[61]

On 14 January 2012, Carrier Strike Group One began air combat operations in support of Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan (OEF-A) when its embarked Carrier Air Wing 17 safely launched 58 scheduled combat sorties.[62] On 19 March 2012, flight operations onboard the carrier Vinson was suspended due to dust storms sweeping across the Persia Gulf.[63] Aircraft from Carrier Air Wing Seventeen flew 1,085 missions in support of OEF-A, totaling 6,600 flight hours[48] Carrier Strike Group One departed U.S. 5th Fleet Area of Responsibility (AoR) on 3 April 2012.[48]
