	The Coral Sea, on its last cruise spent 10 months attacking convoys throughout Indochina. During the Laos invasion, each carrier in the area launched over 100 fighter-bombers a day.

 The crew of the attack aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea have decided to help stop the war by stopping their ship. While Nixon tries to cover up the constant bombing of Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam, the men at bomber bases in Thailand and on aircraft carriers in the Tonkin Gulf cannot be misled.
 After having been out of action for over a year, the Navy wants the ship to leave for Yankee Station near Southeast Asia on Nov. 12. The crew wants to keep the ship from deploying. On Sept. 13 they wrote a petition to Congress stating that a majority of the sailors do not believe in the Vietnam war and asking that their ship not return to Southeast Asia. Before the petitions could be sent to congress they were ripped off by the lifers and are now being held by the ship's executive officer. He said the petition was legal, but ignored attempts by the crew to get it back. So the crew ignored the executive officer and started a new petition. Over 300 men signed the first one and were pissed off when it was ripped off.

 The USS Coral Sea had been out of action for over a year. In August it was taken out on sea trials again. These were short cruises to train the crew and play war games off the West Coast. During one test run designed to shape up recruits, about 74% of the crew worked 19 hours a day. Some men were forced to go without sleep for 36 hours.
