MD-3A tow tractors are brought out to move F-14A Tomcats that are parked on the snow-covered flight deck of USS Carl Vinson CVN-70, on 21 January 1987.

DANFS noted: "Sailing from Singapore on 11 January, the ship crossed the Pacific and participated in Operations Kernal Potlach 87-1 (24–28 January) and Safe Haven (25 January) in the Bering Sea (23–28 January). En route Carl Vinson's aircraft practiced bombing at Scarborough Shoals in the Philippines (13 January) and at Tori-Shima (16 January). Despite frequent storms of ice and 'blinding snow' which completely covered the flight deck, temperatures that averaged 20Β° to 36Β° Fβ€”and dropped to as low as 10Β°β€”,winds of up to 40 to 60 knots and seas which sent the ship through pitching excursions of 19 feet, the crew persevered and supported amphibious and air landings at Adak and Shemya in the Aleutian Islands. The Engineering Department rigged steam hoses and lances to clear the flight deck for handling aircraft, however, the ship noted that jet exhaust from Intruder's proved the most effective way to clear snow and ice. Battle Group Charlie Northern Pacific Group received the Meritorious Unit Commendation for these grueling exercises. In addition to the weather they completed these operations in 'the midst of heightened and continuous Soviet air reconnaissance,' notes the citation, 'as severe a test of true combat readiness as any carrier battle group had ever encountered.' More than 10,000 sailors and marines and 14 ships participated in the exercises." πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡²βš“πŸ’ͺ
