CVS-12 USS Hornet 1967 Tonkin Gulf Cruise

DVD Content

Original 8mm home movie footage from USS Hornet (CVS-12) filmed by a S-2F crewman during the 1967 WestPac/Tonkin Gulf Deployment

During this deployment, Hornet was an anit-submarine carrier (CVS). This is a great look into the world of a CVS on a combat cruise

Footage of the Hornet leaving San Diego, as well as footage of Pearl Harbor and Hawaii

Great footage of flight operations. Includes S-2F Trackers (aka Stoof), E-1 Tracers (aka Willy Fudds or Stoof With A Roof)and the SH-3 Sea King (aka The Greatest Flying Machine In History)

Footage of the S-2Fs attacking a target sled towed behind the ship

Great UNREP footage with Canadian destroyers. We even see a cut off valve fail during the break away, and lots of black oil spilling all over the clean, white Canadian destroyer hull!

Footage filmed while flying in the S-2F. Includes a scene of a battleship far below shelling a shoreline, perhaps San Clemente Island

This is color footage, run time approximately 50 minutes

Produced by GRS Videos (TM). GRS Videos is dedicated to the preservation of Naval Aviation film footage. This passion began when the son of a recently deceased Korean War veteran told me how he had thrown away all of those "old 8mm films of planes flying off of a ship". Yes, I cried. Our heritage MUST be preserved. As a veteran of Naval Aviation, I have a strong interest in ensuring that our stories are not forgotten. If you have footage (16mm, 8mm, VHS, Super 8, Beta, or Digital) contact me at PLAT_Collector@verizon.net. I will also gladly trade any footage I have for new footage (any format). So, if I have Naval Aviation footage you want, and you have something I do not have, contact me and I am confident we can work something out. I am always looking for new PLAT mishaps and home movies/video of carrier operations and life on carriers. All proceeds go into obtaining and preserving more Naval Aviation footage. Gary R. Schreffler served on USS Midway (with HS-12) from 1984-1991.
