Does anyone have any knowledge (general or otherwise) as to when the USN changed its policy regarding authorizing surface warfare officers to command the large amphib decks (the LPHs/LHAs/LHDs) ?? I'm thinking it didn't happen until after the 1970s. TIA. MW During my time with the gator-freighters in '81-83, all LPH CO's and XO's were aviators. LHA's had SWO CO's and alternating XO's. TRIPOLI (LPH-10) had a photo board of their CO's back to commissioning in '64 and they were all aviators. Rick |
