THOMAS E. (T.E.) MOORE wrote on November 18, 2009 CITY AND STATE: ESTERO FL UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: NAVY VETERAN Comments: IN 1953, 7TH. FLEET COMMANDER, VICE ADMIRAL J.J.(JOCKO) CLARK OBTAINED PERMISSION FROM COMMANDER IN CHIEF UNITED NATIONS COMMAND, GENERAL MARK W. CLARK, TO ARM HIS 7TH. FLEET FAST CARRIERS WITH NUCLEAR BOMBS. SOON ON THE USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN CVA-39, THERE WERE REFIGERATION MEN RUNNING REFIGERATION LINES IN STOREROOMS BELOW DECKS. THEN SPECIAL EQUIPMENT and LIFTS WERE INSTALLED IN THESE STOREROOMS. THESE REFIGERATION-MEN CAME FROM JAPAN. THEIR BERTHING COMPARTMENT WAS WAY DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE "CHAMP". THEY WERE FED AT SPECIAL HOURS, WORKED FOUR HOUR WATCHES. THESE MEN WERE KEPT AWAY FROM THE CREW, YOU COULD TELL THEM BY THE RADIATION BADGES THEY WORE. WHEN THESE MEN GOT EVERYTHING READY FOR THE NUCLEAR BOMBS, THE LAKE CHAMPLAIN RACED TO SASEBO,JAPAN. THE A-BOMBS WERE BROUGHT OUT ON THE DOCK ON RUBBER TIRED WAGONS,WITH HUGE SUSPENSIONS. THE DOCK WAS LINED WITH US MARINE GUARDS. ONCE LOADED ABOARD, THE "CHAMP" RACED BACK TO THE LINE. THE BOMBS WERE STORED IN THE REFIGERATED STOREROOMS IN SECTIONS, AND IF NEEDED, TO BE ASSEMBLED IN A STOREROOM NEAR AN ELEVATOR. THE USS LAKE CHAMPLAIN CVA-39 HAD THE SCB-27 MODERNIZATION, WHICH AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE FLIGHT DECK,THE FLIGHT DECK ELEVATORS, CATAPULTS, AND ARRESTING GEAR WERE MADE TO SUPPORT AIRCRAFT WEIGHING UP TO 52,000 POUNDS, MAINELY THE AJ SAVAGE BOMBER. THE AJ AIRCRAFT(THE FIRST NAVAL COMBAT AIRCRAFT DESIGNED TO CARRY AN ATOMIC BOMB)HAD WORKED WITH THE CHAMP BEFORE OFF OF THE ATLANTIC COAST, WITH SAND BOMBS FOR THE PROPER WEIGHT, AFTER THE SHIP'S SHAKE- DOWN PERIOD. TO DELIVER THE NUCLEAR BOMBS THE SHIP COULD USE AJ AIRCRAFT FROM VC-6, ATSUGI,JAPAN, AND WITH NEW SPECIAL ORDNANCE EQUIPTMENT, ATOMIC BOMB RELEASES-ETC., FOR VA-45 SKYRAIDERS, THE AD'S COULD BE USED. WHEN THE 7TH.FLEET WAS READY TO DELIVER THE NUCLEAR BOMBS, THE WORD WAS LEAKED OUT TO THE COMMUNIST ENEMY. LATER, VICE ADMIRAL C.TURNER JOY,THE U.N.DELEGATE AT PANMUNJON, STATED THAT THE COMMUNIST GOT BUSY, AND SPEEDED UP THE CEASE-FIRE TALKS, THAT LEAD TO THE ARMISTICE SIGNING, WHEN THEY LEARNED OUR FLEET HAD THE A-BOMB, WHICH SAVED SCORES OF U.N.LIVES. AFTER THE CEASE-FIRE THE CHAMP CARRIED THE NUCLEAR BOMBS,(JUST IN CASE). SHE OFF-LOADED THE BOMBS IN OCT. 1953 AT SASEBO,JAPAN. Keywords: KOREAN WAR
