A Whale Returns to Sea

May 2009

(NAVSTA Rota)  30 April 2009 – an EA-3B Skywarrior is loaded aboard USS Wasp (LHD 1) for transport back to the U.S.  This marks the first time in over twenty-years a Whale is chocked and chained to the flightdeck of a USN warship.  How it got to that point is an extraordinary story of one community’s dedication, passion and memory of those who once flew an ancient aircraft in difficult conditions on missions the importance of which few at the time, and even today, did not understand.  More over here.
