Nearing the end of her maiden deployment USS Kearsarge (LHD-3) is at Barcelona, Spain, 1 September 1995, with CH-53 Sea Stallion helicopters parked aft on her flight deck, CH-46 Sea Knights and at least one AH-1 Super Cobra amidships, and "Tilly" (heavy lift crane) forward. Earlier in this deployment (June 8) Marines and helicopters of the 24th Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU), operating from Kearsarge, rescued Capt. Scott O'Grady, USAF, whose F-16 had been shot down over Bosnia on June 2. For this brilliantly executed operation the Secretary of the Navy awarded Kearsarge the Navy Unit Commendation on 21 September 1995. |

The amphibious assault ships of Commander, Task Force Fifty One (CTF-51) come together in an unprecedented formation during operations in the North Arabian Gulf. This marked the first time that six large deck amphibious ships from the East and West coasts have deployed together in one area of operation. Led by the flag ship USS Tarawa (LHA-1), the ships are (from left to right):
USS Bonhomme Richard (LHD-6),
USS Kearsarge (LHD-3),
USS Bataan (LHD-5),
USS Saipan (LHA-2), and
USS Boxer (LHD-4).
CTF-51 led Navy amphibious forces in the Arabian Gulf region during Operation Iraqi Freedom. The 32 ships of CTF-51 composed the largest amphibious force assembled since the Inchon landing, during the Korean War. Operation Iraqi Freedom is the multinational coalition effort to liberate the Iraqi people and end the regime of Saddam Hussein.
