Tossing in a few miscellaneous patches

East Coast SAR Wet Crewman (may be a Coastie patch, not sure)

Still no positive ID on this SAR patch, any ideas?

USS TRIPOLI (LPH-10)

OPERATION DESERT SHIELD 1990-1991

NIGHT SEARCH AND RESCUE - FREEDOM NEVER SLEEPS

 

Tripoli was once again sent into the combat zone where she assumed the role as flagship of a minesweeping force with six MH-53 minesweeping helicopters embarked. During the night of 18 February 1991, Tripoli was unknowingly steaming in a minefield. At 4:36 a.m., Tripoli struck a moored contact mine. The blast from the mine blew a large hole near the bow, however, fuel and paint fumes that filled forward compartments of the ship did not explode. Fortunately, no one was killed, but four were injured. After nearly 24 hours of damage control, the ship was stabilized and was miraculously able to continue operations, although the damage was more severe than originally anticipated. In a few days, USS Lasalle (AGF-3) took over duties as flagship of the minesweeping force and Tripoli made way to Bahrain to undergo repairs that were completed, 1 April. Chief Damage Controlman Joseph A. Carter and Chief Warrant Officer Van Cavin would later be awarded the Silver Star for their actions in the immediate aftermath of the mine strike on Tripoli.

The ship was able to continue operations after damage control crews stopped the flooding caused by the explosion.

HC-1 SULTANS OF SAR

Det 3 'Sultans of SAR' aboard USS Tripoli (LPH-10) Desert Storm

HC1DET3USSTRIPOLIDESERTSTORM003.JPG.2f7d0f6433aa1354f8273698beecc91a.JPG

Desert Storm USS TRIPOLI

  •  1989-1992. I went through the FRS then went to the operational side of the squadron. Deployed with the Det 3 'Sultans of SAR' aboard USS Tripoli (LPH-10) to Desert Shield / Storm. CDR Littleton, the previous HC-1 CO at the time, was the air boss on Tripoli. Our OIC was LCDR Ed McNamee. He came from the HS community and eventually went on to be the CO of the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63). Prior to transiting the Straits of Hormuz, we cross decked to USS Tarawa (LHA-1) and supported Operation Sea Soldier off the coast of Oman. Tripoli headed into the Gulf with an embarked HM unit to perform mine clearing operations. Tripoli subsequently hit a mine along with USS Princeton (CG-59) and had to be towed to Bahrain for subsequent repairs. Shortly after entering the Gulf, we cross decked again to USS Ogden (LPD-5) for a few weeks and proceeded north to Kuwait Bay. We returned to Tarawa and proceeded some weeks later back to San Diego. Along the way the ARG was diverted to Bangladesh for a Typhoon relief tasking before continuing to home port. I should note that the det had two hotel models, BUNOs 149708 and 151550
