"While in the San Francisco Naval Yard Ticonderoga received major repairs to her hull and machinery. The engineering plant was reworked in many critical areas. Some equipment was replaced for the first time since the ship's original commissioning. We were one of the few ships to ever come out of the yard on schedule, and all things considered we were much the better for the work, and the liberty."
Ships on page 13 are USS Koiner (DER-331) and USS Atlanta (IX-304).

«BROKEN ARROW» — A TRIBUTE TO LT(JG) DOUGLAS M. WEBSTER

Broken Arrow, 5 December 1965: "While the USS Ticonderoga is en route from operations off Vietnam to Yokosuka, Japan, an A-4E aircraft [BuNo 151022] of VA-56 loaded with one B43 nuclear weapon goes overboard. The aircraft was being rolled from the number 2 hangar bay to the number 2 elevator when it rolled off the elevator with the pilot LTJG D[ouglas] M. Webster and the bomb and sank in 2700 fathoms [16,200 feet; 4,938 meters] of water. A search fails to find the pilot. The Department of Defense states this accident took place 'more than 500 miles from land' when it reveals the accident in 1981. However, Navy documents show the accident occurred about 80 miles east of the Japanese Ryuku Island chain and 250 miles south of Kyushu Island, Japan, and about 200 miles east of Okinawa." (Quoted from "Unofficial U.S. Navy Site".)

"When this happened I was outside of (CIC) Combat Information Center taking a break. The A-4 rolled off the elevator and sank quickly, the [pilot] did not make it out even though the cockpit was open."

James W. Doran, CWO4, USN (Ret) comments: "As I recall the incident, as the A-4 started to roll towards the edge of the elevator, Webster stood up to try and get out. But the landing gear hit the 'safety' lip on the edge of the elevator and the elevator started to do a 'reverse somersault'. When the bird hit the water it was upside down, if Webster had been (and I think he was) still been standing in the cockpit the canopy would have slammed down on him when the bird hit the water. My guess is he was still in the bird when it went down. My prayer is that he was unconscious."

Note: Photo NScv14cb6566-ba of Ticonderoga was actually taken circa 1961–1963. (179Kb)

Note: Photo NScv14cb6566-baa is a frame from a 9' 44" video and the only image we have found of BuNo 151022, modex NF472, LT(JG) Webster's plane. (68Kb)

    Note: These appear to be file photos. The one on the right had been used for the 1965–66 Cruise Book (see NScv14cv6566-19). The one on the left seems to be older and probably pertains to a previous "Tico Trek" to Bremerton, in 1962.
