Entry: 82007 USS VALLEY FORGE (CV-45)	CV-45 ENTERS THE KOREAN WAR
T.E. MOORE wrote on February 6, 2012 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: OTHER Comments: On 3,July 1950, the USS Valley Forge CV-45, at 0500, from the Yellow Sea, began lauching combat strikes against hostile airfields in and around the North Korean capital city of Pyongyang. The launch point was only 100 miles from Chinese communist airfields on the Shantung Peninsula, and less than 200 miles from the Soviet Air Garrison at Port Arthur. Propeller-driven Corsairs and Skyraiders were launched, then the F9F-3 Panther jets were launched. The sortie of these 8 Panthers marked the (first) time in aviation history that naval jets flew in combat. The aircraft were from CAG-5. The aircraft reached their target, and swooped in on the enemy Yak aircraft, destroying at least 9 on the ground, and shooting 2 out of the air. The CAG-5 aircraft demolished 3 hangers, cratered the runways, and scored a direct hit on the field's fuel storage facility. That afternoon, with British aircraft from the Royal Navy's carrier HMS Triumph, hit railroad facilities around Pyongyang, North Korea, destroying 15 locomotives, and assorted rolling stock, as well as dropping one of the spans of a key railroad bridge across the Taedong River. Working with the USS Philippine Sea CV-47, and the HMS Triumph, the Happy Valley later in July 1950, in TF-77, went into the Sea Of Japan off the eastern coast of North Korea, and launched aircraft for the target of The Wonsan Oil Refining Factory, which produced 500 tons of refined petroleum products each day. CAG-5 launched 7 Panthers, 10 F4U Corsairs, 11 AD Skyraiders, who swooped in and destroyed the refining facility. A tower of smoke rose, visible for 60 miles. Later when the U.N. seized Wonsan, witnesses to the airstrike reported that the main power plant, coke furnaces, water tanks, air compressors, and storage buildings,had all been destroyed, and that oil had run in Wonsan streets as deep as two feet. The Happy Valley strike ended production at the refinery. The Pyongyang airstrikes decimated the North Korean Air Force, and in so doing futher discouraged Soviet total involvement in the air war. The destruction of the Wonsan Oil Refinery also dealt a serious blow to the North Korean war machine. Keywords: CAG-5-F9F-3-HMS Triumph-The Wonsan Oil Refining Factory-
