Description
USS Guam (LPH-9) transferred to Operational Test and Evaluation Force to assess feasibility of a proposed Interim Sea Control Ship. Tests aim to establish the safe operation of both helicopters (SH-3) and AV8As from the flight deck and establish protocols for combined anti-submarine tactics. USS Okmulgee (YTB-765) escorts the Guam from port. Flight deck operations with Harrier and SH-3s are shown in detail. The Canadian experimental tilt rotor aircraft, CX-84, is also shown operating from the Guam.
