MAJOR CONTINENTAL AND EXTRA-CONTINENTAL AVIATION SHORE ACTIVmIES

The planned Naval Aviation Shore Establishment, including Marine Activities, for the Fiscal Year 1959 is reflected in the assigned missions of individual activities. These missions a re based on the Basic Naval Establishment Plan for Fiscal Year 1959 and may be modified a s revised SECNAV NOTICES a r e issued. Assigned tasks to accomplish the listed mission a re promulgated by BUAER NOTICES (Series 5451) which supersede the OPNAV NOTICES for each activity. The llunits/activities to be supportedw 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 0011010.10B of 11 June 1958 or revisions. Permanent duty stations of Naval units a r e contained in the effective edition of OPNAV INSTRUCTION 3114.14.

In the following tabulation of bases and satellite fields, an Outlying Field (OLF i s an airfield l having no established facilities in operation except a landing area. It i s designa ed a s such by the Chief of Naval Operations in this document for the purpose of providing a landing area whereon aircraft based at established Naval a i r installations can conduct landing practice or other exercises which a r e best conducted away from the parent installations. An OLF is under the cognizance of a nearby parent air station to which a r e allocated minimum funds for the maintenance of the OLF. No personnel a re based at an OLF.

An Auxiliary Landing Field (ALF) is an airfield having some facilities in operation in addition to a landing area. It is designated a s such by the Chief of Naval Operations for the purpose of providing an airfield at whicx aircraft based at established Naval air installations can be re- fueled and/or rearmed for the conduct of gunnery practice. The facilities which a re in operation, in addition to the landing area, may include several o r all of-the following: minimum personnel berthing and messing facilities, a i r traffic control, communication, crash and rescue, refueling or rearming equipment, An ALF is not a separate established Naval activity, and therefore is not listed in the "Catalog of Naval Activitiesw. It is under the cognizance of a nearby parent air station to which a r e allocated minimum personnel, funds and equipment for its support. The parent a i r station may maintain a small caretaker detachment at an ALF.

All ships have angled decks and all but four of the total a r e equipped with steam catapults.

Three of the 27A-125 conversions (hydraulic catapults) a r e scheduled for redesignation to CVS during the next fourteen months. The ORISKANY and CORAL SEA will return to service in February 1959 and January 1960 respectively. The new INDEPENDENCE (CVA-62) i s scheduled for commissioning in January 1959. The KlTTY HAWK, CONSTELLATION and ENTERPRISE will follow in that order with ENTERPRISE scheduled for commissioning in September 1961.

ASW SUPPORT CARRIERS (CVS . The nine unconverted ESSEX Class car r ie rs , three 27A conversions and one ship with an'experimental angled deck (ANTIETAM) have been reclassified CVS. Of these thirteen ships, ten a r e presently in the active fleet, one has been assigned CNATRA and two a r e in reserve. Four ships (all unconverted ESSEX Class) a r e scheduled for decommissioning and the reserve fleet during 1958 and 1959.

The new organization provides for 16 groups (one for each attack car r ie r , plus one additional a i r group f o r both LANT and PAC). T h e new Air Groups will be composed of two V F squadrons (14 a i rc ra f t each), th ree VA squadrons (12 a i rc ra f t each), and a VAfI squadron o r detachment depending on the c lass c a r r i e r involved. The special mission squadron organization will remain essen- tially unchanged. The reorganization involves a number of squadron disestablish- m e n t ~ , redesignations and changes in permanent duty station. It is expected that the reorganization will be accomplished during FY 1959.

This specialized training of a nature similar to Class "C" i s provided at the field location where the training requirement exists through the use of a seif-sufficient technical school transportable by van. Naval Air Mobile Trainers (NAMT's) are of four basic types:

(1) NAMT(M) - Maintenance of specific models of aircraft.

(2) NAMT(M0R) - Familiarization and instruction in the operation and handling of aircraft munitions (including air-launched guided missiles) and allied equipment including terminal ordnance items of aircraft armament control systems.

(3) NAMT(OF) - Operational flight trainers.

(4) NAMT(TAC) - Operated either independently or in conjunction with an NAMT(O?), these trainers provide pilots and crew members with training in specific models of aircraft and equipment under simulated operating conditions.

Further, trainers a re classified a s being in either Class "AT' or Class "BW status, the essential difference being that Class "Aw trainers a r e manned by NATECHTRACOM personnel and Class "Bv trainers by local personnel.
