Summary
editDescriptionUSS Lake Champlain CVS-39 with VMA-324 1957.jpg |
English: Six U.S. Marine Corps Douglas AD-6 Skyraider aircraft of Marine attack squadron VMA-324 Vagabonds and a single North American AJ Savage fly over the U.S. Navy aircraft carrier USS Lake Champlain (CVS-39) in September/October 1957. The Champ was participating in the NATO operation "Deep Water". This exercise involved protecting NATO’s southern European flank, specifically the Dardanelles, from a simulated Soviet invasion. Operation "Deep Water" culminated in the landing of 8,000 U.S. Marines at Saros Gulf near Gallipoli, Turkey, from a 38-ship amphibious task force, with air support provided by aircraft carriers from the U.S. Sixth Fleet. |
