Named after a small town in Pennsylvania made famous during the American Revolutionary War, USS Valley Forge (CV-45) was a 36,380-ton Ticonderoga class aircraft carrier that was built by the Philadelphia Navy Yard at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and was commissioned on 3 November 1946. The ship was approximately 888 feet long and 93 feet wide, had a top speed of 32.7 knots, and had a crew of 3,448 officers and men. Valley Forge was armed with 12 5-inch guns and 72 40-mm guns, and could carry 80 aircraft. After completing her shakedown cruise off Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and in the Panama Canal Zone, Valley Forge was transferred to the US Pacific Fleet in 1947. In 1948, she completed a trip to Australia and the Far East and steamed completely around the world before returning to San Diego, California. In May 1950, Valley Forge was again sent to the Far East and was anchored in Hong Kong Harbor on 25 June when she received news that North Korea had invaded South Korea. She left Hong Kong the next day and steamed north to Subic Bay, the Philippines, to obtain provisions and fuel. From there, Valley Forge left for Korea. Valley Forge was the only American carrier in the region when the Korean War broke out. The first carrier air strike of the Korean conflict was launched from the Valley Forge’s flight deck on 3 July 1950. Waves of communist North Korean troops were pouring over the 38th Parallel and into South Korea, overwhelming the lightly armed and disorganized South Korean and American troops. Valley Forge launched Douglas AD “Skyraider” and Vought F4U “Corsair” ground attack planes to slow down the communist advance and also launched Grumman F9F “Panther” jet fighters to prowl the skies for enemy fighters. The Skyraiders and the Corsairs attacked the North Korean airfield at Pyongyang in North Korea, bombing enemy airplane hangars, fuel storage facilities, and Russian-built aircraft that were parked on the ground. At the same time, the Panther jet fighters shot down two North Korean Yak-9 aircraft. Despite additional carrier-based and land-based aircraft that were sent from the United States and other United Nations countries to join this struggle, American and South Korean forces were steadily forced southward until they were virtually surrounded at Pusan (known as the famous “Pusan Perimeter”). But on 18 September 1950, General Douglas MacArthur launched the brilliant amphibious landing at Inchon. The American landing at Inchon outflanked the communists while the other United Nations forces broke out from the Pusan Perimeter and headed north. During all of this, Valley Forge’s aircraft were making daily attacks against North Korean forces. Aircraft from Valley Forge attacked enemy troop concentrations, defensive positions, and supply lines. More than 5,000 combat sorties were flown and more than 2,000 tons of bombs and rockets were dropped between 3 July and 19 November 1950. Valley Forge returned to San Diego and arrived there on 1 December 1950. She needed an overhaul, but as soon as the ship arrived it was immediately ordered back to Korea. Communist China had decided to enter the war and Chinese troops were flooding into North Korea. On 6 December, as soon as a new air group and fresh provisions could be put on board the ship, Valley Forge left San Diego. She reached Task Force 77 off Korea on 22 December and her planes began flying air strikes against the Chinese the next day. It was the beginning of three straight months of concentrated air operations against a human tidal wave of Chinese troops. During this second deployment to Korea, Valley Forge flew 2,580 sorties and dropped more than 1,500 tons of bombs on the enemy. But, by the end of January 1951, the Chinese advance ground to a halt. United Nations forces had succeeded in pushing the communists back north to the 38th Parallel, while suffering heavy casualties. Valley Forge continued flying missions off the ice cold and snowy coast of Korea, its planes assisting in a major effort to stop the Chinese from advancing any further. On 29 March 1951, Valley Forge was finally allowed to return to the United States for its badly needed overhaul. The ship returned to San Diego and her overhaul lasted until the fall. Valley Forge was then ordered to return to Korea, becoming the first American carrier to be sent back there for a third deployment. On 11 December 1951, Valley Forge launched her first air strikes against communist railway targets. Railway lines, junctions, marshalling yards and rolling stock were decimated by the carrier’s aircraft. By June 1952, Valley Forge’s aircraft had severed communist rail lines in at least 5,346 places. Valley Forge returned to the United States in the summer of 1952, but was sent back to the Far East later that year. In October 1952, the ship was re-classified an attack carrier and was re-designated CVA-45. By 2 January 1953, Valley Forge’s aircraft began bombing communist targets deep behind enemy lines, focusing on supply dumps, troop concentrations, and deadly gun emplacements. During this deployment, Valley Forge’s aircraft dropped approximately 3,700 tons of bombs and rockets on Chinese and North Korean targets. She was sent back to the United States and arrived at San Diego on 25 June 1953. After returning to the United States, Valley Forge underwent another major overhaul. Because her flight deck remained basically unchanged since the end of World War II, Valley Forge was unable to handle the much larger high-performance jets that were being introduced to the fleet after the end of the Korean War. So the ship was converted into an antisubmarine support carrier and re-designated CVS-45. Once the conversion was completed at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard at Norfolk, Virginia, the ship carried only helicopters and propeller-driven aircraft. After the conversion was completed in January 1954, Valley Forge was transferred to the Atlantic Fleet and remained there for seven years. In early January 1959, while steaming in the stormy North Atlantic in winter, Valley Forge was smashed by heavy seas which tore away a large section of the port side of its forward flight deck. This damage proved how vulnerable the “open bow” design was for aircraft carriers built during World War II. This problem was solved by installing new enclosed “hurricane bows” on all carriers built during the mid-1950s and later. Valley Forge’s damage was quickly repaired, using a large section of flight deck that was taken from the decommissioned aircraft carrier USS Franklin (CVS-13). On 6 March 1961, Valley Forge entered the Norfolk shipyard for yet another major overhaul. This time the ship was converted into an amphibious assault ship and was re-designated LPH-8. The conversion was completed on 1 July and the ship carried only helicopters and Marines for amphibious assault missions. Valley Forge spent the rest of her career in the Pacific, making five more deployments to the Far East. The last three of these, from 1965 to 1969, were mostly spent on combat operations off the coast of Vietnam. A typical mission for Valley Forge occurred on 29 January 1966, when an assault was made by Marines off the carrier during Operation Double Eagle. Valley Forge remained off the coast of Vietnam while its Marines were transported by helicopter to assault communist forces on land. Valley Forge provided continuous logistical and medical support to the Marines. Inbound helicopters usually brought supplies to the troops, while choppers returning from the coast brought back casualties for medical treatment. Similar operations that Valley Forge participated in were Operations Fortress Ridge, Beaver Tooth, Badger Catch, Badger Catch II, Badger Catch III, Swift Saber, and Brave Armada, to name just a few of the helicopter assault and logistical supply missions she successfully completed. Valley Forge also occasionally served as a transport for aircraft being brought to South Vietnam. Valley Forge returned to the United States and docked at Long Beach, California, on 31 October 1969. After being stripped of all her planes, ammunition, and usable equipment, the ship was decommissioned on 15 January 1970. After failing to obtain funds to convert this ship into a naval museum, USS Valley Forge was sold for scrapping on 29 October 1971, a sad end to a brilliant career. This grand warship received eight battle stars for her service during the Korean War, nine battle stars for her work during the war in Vietnam, and three US Navy Unit Commendations.
