GET REAL
What’s real? Our KC-45 tanker. It’s the only tanker in the Air Force competition that is in production, ﬂying
and ready now. By contrast, our competitor’s concept aircraft exists only on paper—an unproven design
that’s never been built or ﬂown. Our warﬁghters deserve a real tanker—one that will be built here in the
U.S., by tens of thousands of Americans. So let’s get real: KC-45.

On The Cover:

From the Mobile Sea Buoy to docking at the Port of Mobile, only Mobile Bar
Pilots are allowed to move ships in that 30-mile span as well as at the ports
for all inbound and outbound traffic. These pilots safely guide ships, tugs,
oil rigs, barges and even cruise boats from foreign into local waters and
back out, relying on their specialized knowledge of local waters, weather
conditions and how these will affect particular ships. For their commute to
work, the bar pilots use two aluminum hull boats: the MOBILE and the
ALABAMA, built by Breaux Brothers out of Loreauville, La.

Mobile Bar Pilots:

“The boardings become second nature to you, but you still
go through every step every time. There are accidents; that’s
part of it.”

When King Louis XIV of France appointed Mobile’s first permanent bar
pilot in 1711, chances are he couldn’t have even imagined 300 years later,
bar pilots would be tracking ships by highly specialized computer systems,
updating assignments via a secure website and using fuel-efficient engines in the pilot boats.

The Mobile Bar Pilots use two aluminum hull boats, the MOBILE and the ALABAMA. “We have two boats because of
what we ask out of them,” said Wilson. “We push the life
and maintenance out of them.” Every six months the boats
are pulled from the water for necessary repairs and maintenance. While the average life span of an aluminum hull boat
is 20 years, thanks to scrupulous care, the bar pilots’ boats
can last up to 40 years. The aluminum hull pilot boats are
built by Breaux Brothers out of Loreauville, La.

Channeling Commerce for 300 Years

But then as well as now, bar pilots have played an integral part of the
flow of commerce shipping in and out of the Mobile area. Guiding ships
through the narrow Mobile Ship Channel, these pilots have specialized
knowledge of local waters, weather conditions and how these will affect
particular ships. For ships, tugs, oil rigs, barges and even cruise boats,
Mobile Bar Pilots safely guide these ships from foreign into local waters,
then back out. “It’s their ship, but they don’t know our channel, our currents,” explained Mobile Bar Pilot President Patrick Wilson.
While there are currently about 1,000 bar pilots in the United States,
Mobile has 14 serving the Port of Mobile, as well as the ports of Theodore
and Bayou La Batre. From the Mobile Sea Buoy to docking at the Port of
Mobile, only bar pilots are allowed to move ships in that 30-mile span as
well as at the ports for all inbound and outbound traffic. From the 400foot wide Mobile Ship Channel to navigating Mobile’s new turning basin to
docking at the Port of Mobile, the job requires close quarter maneuvering,
skill and years of experience. “We pride ourselves on minimal business
interruption,” said Wilson.
Mobile Bar Pilots operate in a specific geographic area: from the Mobile
Sea Buoy to the Cochran Bridge. For inbound vessels, the bar pilots board
one mile south of the sea buoy, giving them time to board, make the pilot/
master exchange and accommodate any necessary changes in the given
weather. The outgoing exchange is made at the 1 and 2 channel buoys.
While on the vessel, the bar pilot has total control, from the choice of course
to steer to rudder commands and adjustments to the engine speed.
“Daylight, darkness, good weather, bad weather—we just go,” said Mobile
Bar Pilot Marty Stapleton. Ever-changing weather as well as each vessel’s
maneuverability, speed and draft makes each transit different than the last.
When meeting a ship at the sea buoy, either for a bar pilot to board or
disembark, the pilot launch captain matches the vessel’s speed—anywhere
from stop to 12 knots—maneuvering close enough for the bar pilot to climb
a rope ladder on the side of the ship. “We try to never stop,” said Wilson.
“Suction, hydraulics, there’s a lot of water being displaced.” It falls to the
pilot launch captain to maintain consistent speed as well as not damage
either vessel in the process. “Sometimes you just get in and hang on,” said
Vincent Collier, who has been captaining the pilot boats since 1973.
On a ship carrying lighter or less cargo, a pilot might have to climb 30 feet
up a rope ladder to the boat deck from the pilot boat. On a loaded ship, that
climb may only be 10 feet. But it’s still a rope ladder with 2x4s attached to
prevent twisting. “Some things technology doesn’t change,” said Wilson.

Based in Dauphin Island in south Mobile County, there are
two crew members at the Mobile Bar Pilot Station at all
times. Their job is to run the launch, board and disembark
ships, communicate with ships, and remain in constant contact with the Port of Mobile for updated information in cargo delays, “speed ups,” and estimated times of arrival and
departure. There is also an office in downtown Mobile with
a dispatcher and office manager. “There are no business
hours,” explained Wilson. “We never shut down. It’s 24/7
every day of the year, though there is an answering service
to handle logistical queries at night.”

As the outbound vessel passes Sand Island
Lighthouse, the pilot launch matches its speed
and meets it at the 1 and 2 channel buoys for
the bar pilot to disembark.

An AIS-based tracking system, a high-end electronics system
similar to GPS, allows the bar pilots to monitor ships all over
the world in real time for speed and distance. “Technology has
changed the industry,” explained Wilson. A new Web-based
scheduling system allows the bar pilots to check in from
any location to see what trips they are assigned to and the
accompanying details, both of which can change frequently.
Bar pilots have an hour to an hour and a half notice before a
sailing, allowing them to reach the ship in port or travel on the
pilot boat out to the vessel. Assignments for inbound ships
rotate. Once a pilot exceeds a certain number of hours or
trips during a specified period of time, a break is mandated
for safety reasons. “Things are always changing,” said Wilson.
“Some days you run out of pilots, so you have a rotation of
standbys.” Week-long shifts run from Tuesday to Tuesday.
Changing weather is an important variable for bar pilots.
“We are the epitome of the good days are good, but the bad
days are bad,” said Wilson. From a weather front in the middle of the night to a hurricane, Wilson said there are “a lot of
pieces of the pie” that could go wrong when piloting a ship.
The Mobile Bar Pilots average five days out of commission
in a year, mainly due to zero visibility or hurricane conditions.
During hurricane season, the bar pilots are part of a comprehensive plan between the Port of Mobile, the U.S. Coast

The pilot launch captain must match the vessel’s speed, maneuver close
enough for the bar pilot to climb a rope ladder on the side of the ship and
not damage either vessel during the transit.

Disembarking from the vessel onto the pilot launch hasn’t changed with
technology: The bar pilots still use a rope ladder. The length of the climb
is determined by the weight of the boat and its cargo.
Guard and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. “If ships are
sailing, we monitor the weather,” explained Wilson. “We’re
the last leg, then we start our shutdown. We get our boats
at a minimum to the State Docks and further up the river if
necessary.” After a hurricane, the bar pilots assess the status of the channel from the generator-run pilot house. “It’s a
race to get back in business as hurricanes generally mean a
slowdown of at least 48 hours, creating a backlog of ships,”
said Wilson.

Mobile Container Terminal Welcomes New Leader

“We are the epitome of the good days are good, but the bad days are bad,” said Mobile Bar Pilot President Patrick Wilson, left, shown with bar pilot
Marty Stapleton. From the weather to changing schedules to channel traffic, the Mobile Bar Pilots keep commerce flowing through the narrow Mobile
Ship Channel in Mobile Bay.
And occasionally pilots are “carried away.” Unable to disembark from the ship to the pilot boat due to inclement weather
conditions, the bar pilot travels with the vessel to another
port, then returns to Mobile. “We try to avoid it, but it sometimes happens,” said Wilson.
The Mobile Bar Pilots oversee an apprenticeship program
for those applicants working toward becoming qualified to
be branched as active pilots. Wilson said those wanting to
be bar pilots spend years earning degrees, licenses, sea
time and necessary training, an average of four years and
approximately 200 transits in the Mobile Ship Channel, all
while still working day jobs. This lends diversity in the industry with bar pilots bringing experience from maritime schools,
harbor tugs, deep sea tows and barges, and other vessels.
Regular continuing education, required both from the Coast
Guard and from the industry, includes simulator training, radar upgrades, safety and fire fighting, and emergency ship
handling, as well as health screenings and security credentials. With so few bar pilots serving Mobile-area ports, they
require written permission to leave the state.
The first American bar pilots were licensed after Mobile was
occupied by American troops during the War of 1812. The
pilots lived on Navy Cove, across Mobile Bay from Dauphin
Island, in a community known as Pilot Town. During the Civil
War, many pilot boats were used as blockade runners, so
by the time the war ended, the pre-war pilot boats were either captured or damaged. Following the war, the bar pilots
formed the Mobile Bar Pilots Association, purchasing two
boats. In the years that followed, increased channel depths
changed the way cargo was moved in and out of Mobile, a

hurricane eventually destroyed Pilot Town and the pilot station moved to Dauphin Island. Since 1965, the only change
has been to the organization’s name: It became Mobile Bar
Pilots, LLC in 1997.
The numerous pilot boats used by the bar pilots during the
last century have shared two names, cementing the pilots’
commitment to the area and its commerce. The first pilot
boat was the 100-foot ALABAMA, a schooner that the pilots
lived on with supplies delivered by boat once a week. Built in
1925 and retired in 1965, today it sails charters in Martha’s
Vineyard. When the bar pilots moved to Dauphin Island from
Pilot Town in 1965, and VHF radio was introduced, the pilots
procured a 65-foot new boat, the first MOBILE. In 1975, the
bar pilots received their first motor powered steel hull boat,
the 55-foot ALABAMA.
In 1972, the bar pilots began using aluminum hulled boats
with the 42-foot ALABAMA, then the 47-foot ALABAMA
in 1977, the 47-foot MOBILE in 1996 and the 48-foot
ALABAMA in 2009. Until the new ALABAMA and the
refurbished MOBILE, all the pilot boats were equipped
with “Detroit diesel, old-school engines” requiring heavy
maintenance and lots of fuel, explained Wilson. The
newest boats have fuel-efficient Tier 2 Caterpillar engines
with electronic computer controls; this has also reduced
emissions. “We went from slinging wrenches to computers,”
said Wilson. “It’s an entirely new class.”

Brian Harold joined Mobile Container Terminal, LLC (MCT)
as the new director on Nov. 5, 2010.
Harold is a graduate of West Virginia University and holds a
degree in finance. With nine years experience in the shipping
industry, Harold has held various positions in both marine
and terminal operations. From 2002 until 2004, he worked
for Maersk in Prague, Czech Republic, primarily focusing on
intermodal logistics. He then worked for APM Terminals in
the Port of New York/New Jersey from 2005 until 2010. His
most recent position with APM Terminals was director of terminal operations at their Port Elizabeth facility in New Jersey.
His responsibilities included daily operations management,
labor relations and the strategic development of the facility.
“Brian’s extensive knowledge and experience in our industry
brings the right skills to head up MCT,” said Jimmy Lyons,
CEO of the Alabama State Port Authority. “We are pleased
to welcome him to Mobile.”
When Harold was offered the position as director of MCT,
his accepting the job was never an issue.
“The Port of Mobile has a very strong reputation of efficient
and productive operations,” said Harold. “Mobile Container

ASPA New York Reception 2010

The Alabama State Port Authority (ASPA) held a customer appreciation reception in Birmingham, Ala., at the Harbert Center
on Sept. 28, 2010.

Mobile Container Terminal, LLC (MCT), a joint venture between APM Terminals, Terminal Link and the Alabama State Port Authority, provides containerized
cargo shippers with access to global networks covering all possible trade routes to and from the Port of Mobile.
Terminal is an excellent facility that we’re very proud of and
I’m looking forward to expanding business opportunities and
growing trade across Alabama’s docks.”
In addition to increasing business services, Harold hopes to
maintain the high level of customer service for the shipping
lines and truckers that currently do business at MCT.
“The shipping industry is competitive, and every business
has to find ways to improve customer service. Our transit
times, access to highways, trucker turn times and vessel productivity are very attractive compared to other ports and I
think that stands out to our customers,” said Harold.
At the intersection of five Class 1 railroads, immediate access to Interstates 10 and 65, and located 30 miles from
open ocean, MCT offers an enhanced option in the U.S.
Gulf for reaching Midwest markets, as well as Alabama and
neighboring states.

Clark was hired as project director for MCT in September
2006 and two years later opened the $300 million stateof-the-art facility. The MCT only had one customer when it
opened, and over the course of two years Clark helped bring
in four weekly services with a total of five shipping lines.
“Moving back to Elizabeth was an opportunity I couldn’t pass
up, although I miss the hard workers and great quality of life
that Mobile offers,” said Clark. “I want to thank the Alabama
State Port Authority for the tremendous support that has
made MCT a success.”
In the last 10 years, Alabama’s port has grown from the
14th to the ninth largest seaport in the United States with
a total economic impact of $7.9 billion. In 2005, Governor
Riley championed a bill to invest $80 million to fund a major
expansion that included a container and intermodal terminal.
This expansion allowed the port to more than quadruple its
container capacity and contribute to the creation of more
than 67,000 jobs.

Aside from work, Harold enjoys playing sports and spending
time with his wife, Lori.

MADE IN ALABAMA:
The ThyssenKrupp complex in Calvert, Ala.,
stretches from the Tombigbee River to Highway
43. At 3,700 acres, it is four times larger than
New York’s Central Park. It takes 6.2 miles of
fence to surround it.

ThyssenKrupp Opens Mills with Gala Event

Lynyrd Skynyrd closed the gala with
“Sweet Home Alabama,” among other
classic rock favorites.

tion offers outstanding logistics, with a link to the Port of
Mobile via the Tombigbee River and access to the Gulf of
Mexico for the cost-efficient supply of raw materials to the
plant and shipment of our products.”
“We understood if we were to be successful in securing the
project, it was critical to ThyssenKrupp that the Port develop
innovative handling solutions for millions of tons of raw
materials” said Jimmy Lyons, director and CEO for the Port
Authority. “So we set out to do just that and most would be
surprised to know that Pinto Terminal’s unique design concept
was sketched out on the back of a cocktail napkin during one
of our fact finding trips to Duisburg.” Terminal innovations
include use of magnets to lift slabs from the ship to barges
or storage, Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology
to track and indentify the composition of each steel slab, and
a barge haul system with barge guide units that can operate
independently or in tandem during loading operations. Lyons
noted, “These innovations make Pinto the most efficient and
sophisticated steel handling facility in the world.”

What do Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Mobile Symphony Orchestra,
steel clothing, acrobats and fleece blankets all have in
common? Each played a key role in opening what the
governor called Alabama’s largest industrial project in history.
ThyssenKrupp Steel USA and ThyssenKrupp Stainless USA
formally opened their mills in Calvert, Ala., Dec. 10, with a
dramatic evening gala.
The $5 billion mills will receive 4 million metric tons of carbon
steel slabs annually; the stainless mill will churn out 350,000
tons when fully operational. The carbon mill imports all of
its carbon slab through the Alabama State Port Authority’s
Pinto Terminal and ThyssenKrupp’s carbon and stainless
exports will ship out through the Port Authority’s general
cargo complex at the Port of Mobile.
ThyssenKrupp’s vast complex stretches from a river terminal
where slabs are offloaded from barges to Highway 43,
taking up 3,700 acres, approximately four times larger
than New York’s Central Park. The amount of steel needed
for construction would build ten Eiffel Towers. When fully
operational, ThyssenKrupp expects to employ 2,700 people.

Much of the audience used fleece blankets to stay warm during the
ceremony as temperatures dropped into the 40s.
The Alabama State Port Authority played a crucial role in
luring ThyssenKrupp to Alabama. During the press conference the morning of the opening, ThyssenKrupp AG CEO
Dr. Ekkehard Schulz spoke about the decision. “There were
many important reasons in favor of Alabama: first, this loca-

More than 3,000 employees, company leaders, elected officials and members of the media gathered starting around
5 p.m. to celebrate the opening. The evening started with
a buffet reception. The party then proceeded into a warehouse that had been transformed into a high-tech theater.

green and blue rolls were placed in each chair and many
guests were seen wrapped in them as the ceremony proceeded. A five-screen display showed videos and graphics
as speakers described the construction and operation of the
plants. WALA-TV anchor Bob Grip emceed the event. The
Mobile Symphony provided live music throughout the event.
In his opening remarks, Schulz said the German steelmaker
did not take lightly the decision to locate in Alabama and that
it intended to continue investing in markets served by the
North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). “With the
startup of the plant in Alabama and the launch of the steel
mill in Brazil in the summer, ThyssenKrupp is entering a new
dimension of its history,” said Schulz. “These two projects
are the cornerstones of our transatlantic growth strategy.
We plan to achieve profitable growth in international markets
of the future. That’s why the investments in our plants in the
USA and Brazil are true investments in the future,” he added.
The CEOs of the carbon and stainless mills, Christoph Lackinger and Ulrich Albrecht-Frueh, respectively, took to the stage
and explained the everyday applications and uses of their
products. Stainless’ CEO Albrecht-Frueh joked about the
cold weather by describing in loving detail how warm the hot
strip mill could be. Both also spoke of expanding their market
share into automotive, construction, appliance and tube sectors. TK has already started the process of being certified to
provide steel to automakers in the southeastern United States.
Between speeches, the audience was entertained by unusual
offerings. The first act was Anti-Gravity, a troupe of acrobats.
Men and women jumped, flipped, twirled and bungee-jumped

to a high-tech soundtrack. At one point, a pair of violinists
played live while members of the troupe bounced and flipped
on pogo stick-like stilts.
Another treat was a steel fashion show, including dresses,
skirts, blouses and accessories made from steel and steel components. Different designers contributed pieces so each was
very unique. The show itself was even a challenge for the models. Some of the pieces weighed as much as 20–30 pounds.
Lorraine Hariton, special representative for Commercial and
Business Affairs at the U.S. Department of State also spoke,
noting the tremendous benefits of foreign investment in the U.S.
Alabama Governor Bob Riley also got a chance to address
the crowd. He thanked TK for selecting Alabama. “The
American South is an engine of growth for our entire country, and the new ThyssenKrupp plant in Alabama helps secure that economic leadership position for this region,” said
Riley. “This enormous investment in our state provides new
opportunities for even more growth, gives employees and
their families good jobs, and makes Alabama and the entire region more competitive,” he continued. Riley also talked
about going to Germany to visit Schulz when both men retire
in a couple of weeks.
Executives had referenced “Sweet Home Alabama” throughout the day. The close of the ceremony was a live performance of the song by the band that made it famous, Lynyrd
Skynyrd. Attendees jumped to their feet when the song
started. The band played another half-dozen songs before it
closed with the iconic “Freebird.”

TK Steel USA and TK Stainless USA have been processing slabs since September. The TK complex has a hot rolling mill and
a cold rolling mill. On December 9, reporters were taken on a tour to see both mills at work.

The tour started at the riverfront terminal where cranes
offload slabs from barges. The slabs are taken to the slab
yard for distribution. They come into the Port of Mobile and
are transferred onto barges at the Pinto Island Terminal.

Workers watch a slab running through a mill
stand in the stainless cold rolling mill.

A slab runs through a mill stand in the carbon
steel mill. Steam shoots out of the mill stands
from water sprayed onto the slabs as they are
slowly rolled into coils. Each slab rolls very
quickly from one mill stand to another.
Once the steel is coiled, huge
hooks move it into a storage area
for transport to a coil yard.
The operations are run from high-tech control rooms.
Cameras are aimed at every aspect of the operation,
allowing employees to spot and resolve problems
quickly. The crew in the control room is in constant
contact with those on the floor.

Stainless coils sit inside the mill waiting to be
delivered. Currently, raw materials for the stainless
mill are imported. However, TK officials announced
at the grand opening that the stainless side of the
company will start construction on a meltshop to
be complete in about two years.

Tagert Named to Federal Advisory Board
Mike Tagert, with the Tennessee Tombigbee Waterway
Authority, has been named to the trade and advisory board
with the Federal Reserve in Atlanta. The members of the
bank’s Board of Directors are drawn from the business
community, banks, and labor and consumer organizations.
According to Tagert, this 10-member committee makes
general recommendations on transportation and trade to the
Atlanta Federal Reserve. They have two to three mandatory
meeting times per year; otherwise, they only meet as needed.
“Hopefully, it provides us with another way of promoting
the industry. I am glad that they want inland waterway
transportation represented on the board,” Tagert said.

By Truck. By Rail. By Ship.
How the System Works:

The Atlanta Fed territory covers the Sixth Federal Reserve
District, which includes Alabama and several other
Southeastern states. The Fed shares its research and
expertise with the public in publications, speeches, public
policy organizations and community sponsorship efforts.
Sarah Arteaga of the Regional Economic Information
Network said that the Trade & Transportation Advisory
Council focuses on providing economic information from the
transportation sector as part of the Federal Reserve Bank of
Atlanta’s Regional Economic Information Network.
According to the Fed, the Trade & Transportation Advisory
Council provides a deeper insight into key economic
information related to the transportation sector in that district.
Trade & Transportation Advisory Council members may be
called upon between meetings by the Federal
Reserve for specific economic industry sector
questions pertinent to the economic climate.

Mardi Gras: Mobile’s Biggest Family-Friendly Tradition

Creating a Mardi Gras float is a year-long process.

Mobile during a holiday parade. Photo courtesy of Tad

Beads! Moon pies! King Cakes! All three are signature
items found during the three week Mardi Gras holiday
season. The larger than life parades, masquerade balls and
coronations are some of the many activities to be enjoyed
during the celebration. Contrary to popular belief, America’s
Mardi Gras originated in Mobile, Ala.

Gras has many traditions, some of which are personal
traditions with individuals and some within their families or
societies,” explains Judi Gulledge, director of the Mobile
Carnival Museum. “The most well-known traditions include
moon pies, king cakes, the Death and Folly emblems of
the Order of Myths, doubloons, and formal dress for balls.”

Mobile’s Mardi Gras started in 1703 at Twenty-Seven Mile
Bluff, Mobile’s first settlement. Over one hundred years
later, the first masked society was founded and named the
Cowbellion de Rakin as part of a New Year’s Eve celebration.
Today, Mobile has more than 50 mystic societies including
the two oldest in existence. The Strikers were founded in
1842 and the Order of the Myths in 1867. The latter society is
still parading and is the oldest continuous parading society.

Death and Folly is the emblem float of the Order of Myths.
It depicts folly, or fun, chasing death around the broken
column of life. The Order of Myths is the last parade on
Fat Tuesday. Besides beaded necklaces, it is tradition for
societies to throw doubloons from their floats. Doubloons
are aluminum coins minted each year by the various mystic
societies. One side of the doubloon shows the society’s
emblem and the other side has the parade theme for the
current year. Another popular tradition is masquerade
balls. The formal dress attire mandatory for balls is named
Costume de Rigueur. Gulledge adds, “Men must wear the
most formal of all formal attire, a white tie and tails. Mobile
is the largest owner of formal wear in the world, per capita.”

In the many years since its birth, Mardi Gras has evolved
into a spectacular celebration with elaborate paper-maché
floats designed and decorated by an assortment of Mobile
societies. Mardi Gras is not just about parades. “Mardi

Most importantly, what separates Mobile’s carnival
celebration from other cities is Mobile’s family-friendly
atmosphere. “There are a lot of families here,” says Carol
Hunter, communications director for the Downtown Mobile
Alliance. “Mardi Gras is a family tradition. People have been
coming for generations; it sets the tone for the celebration.”
People, young and old, line both sides of the street with
hopes of filling their bags with beads and treats.

Of Men & Ships
Swarms of “Yellow Bees” over the Coast
As a high school student in Florence, Ala., during World War
II, Tommy Rye often found himself called out of class to fly
search and rescue missions. Wearing a khaki uniform and
flying a cheerful yellow Piper J-3 Cub, the teenager joined
other Civil Air Patrol cadets in searching for downed training aircraft and crews from nearby Columbus Army Airfield,
flying search patterns over the wooded terrain of northwest
Alabama and northeast Mississippi. He later would recall
that he and his buddies also relied on their uniforms to gain
access to bars, figuring that the bartenders believed that the
Air Corps was now enlisting “the bottom of the barrel” for its
flight officers. But the Civil Air Patrol wasn’t just high school
students out for a lark. Originally conceived as a liaison and
reconnaissance force, the Civil Air Patrol soon found itself
handling serious missions and contributing directly to the
war effort, including anti-submarine warfare.

“Mardi Gras is a tradition put on for the people, by the
people,” Gulledge says. “There are eras of families
continuing their Mardi Gras traditions. Passing down
traditions through generations keeps families involved. The
City of Mobile supports Mardi Gras as safe, fun, family
entertainment.” It is a holiday the entire community gets
excited about and involved in.
“Another aspect families seem to appreciate are the
alcohol-free zones,” says Hunter, “That adds to the
different feel between Mobile’s Mardi Gras and festivals
in other cities.” Not only are the parades a family-friendly
environment, but they are safe as well. The Mobile police,
as well as officers from jurisdictions around the region, are
on patrol in high numbers at every parade to ensure the
safety of all parade goers. There is little crime associated
with Mardi Gras and many officers can be seen riding
horseback along parade routes making sure everyone is
having a safe and fun experience.

The idea of a civilian aviation force to augment the nation’s
flying armed forces was first raised in the late 1930s as
Americans traveling and working abroad witnessed the Axis
Powers’ severe curtailing or halting of general aviation in
occupied territories. To prevent their own government from
taking action to limit general aviation in the event of war, aviation
enthusiasts in the U.S. knew they needed to make a strong
case that civilian pilots could be of benefit during a time of war.

Mardi Gras festivities begin Saturday, Feb. 18, when the
first float makes its way through downtown Mobile. The
parades continue in the weeks leading up to Fat Tuesday,
Mardi Gras’ largest celebratory day. The following day,
Ash Wednesday, marks the beginning of Lent. Hunter
adds, “Our ambassadors work their hardest the night of
Fat Tuesday. They have downtown Mobile spotless by 6:30
a.m. the following morning.”
The street party celebration can be enjoyed at any age
and there are many ways to get involved in the Mardi Gras
holiday. The costumes and floats are enough to entice
parade viewers but it’s the promise of bags filled with
beads, stuffed animals and moon pies that ensures people
will leave satisfied. After just one time experiencing Mobile’s
largest family-friendly celebration, it will become tradition.

Following a 1938 assignment in Nazi Germany, where
he saw firsthand that government’s efforts to restrict civil
aviation, Gill Robb Wilson, the aviation editor of The New
York Herald Tribune, suggested a plan to New Jersey
Governor A. Harry Moore to create a civilian air force that
could augment the military. Moore approved the plan,
which also received the blessing of General Henry H.
“Hap” Arnold, chief of the Army Air Corps. Thus was born
the New Jersey Civil Air Defense Services.
A brightly colored ensemble is a staple at Mardi Gras balls.

The Army Air Corps next introduced a refresher course for
civilian pilots and established the Civilian Pilot Training program in order to have a force in waiting should the nation
go to war (as seemed likely). Thomas Beck, Chairman of
the Board of the Crowell-Collier Publishing Co., prepared a
plan for organizing America’s civilian aviation assets to present to President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. Roosevelt then
established the Office of Civilian Defense in May 1941, appointing former New York City Mayor Fiorello H. LaGuardia
as its director. Gill Wilson, Thomas Beck and Guy Gannett,

the newspaper man, were appointed to create a “blueprint
committee” tasked with organizing a civilian air corps.
The plan was completed by October of that year and, following a review by top military officials, was approved. The Civil
Air Patrol, or CAP, initially led by Major General John F. Curry, was established on Dec. 1, 1941, just six days before the
Empire of Japan bombed American military assets at Pearl
Harbor. The surprise attack in distant Hawaii led to a state
of war being declared between the United States and Japan
on Dec. 8, and between the United States and the European
Axis Powers three days later.
Within a week of Roosevelt’s declaration of hostilities
between the United States and Germany, the first wave of
German U-boats left the sub pens at Lorient, France, bound
for America’s East Coast. On Jan. 14, 1942, the U-123 sank
the Norwegian freighter NORNESS within sight of Long
Island, thus beginning a long and frustrating open season on
Allied shipping along the coast.
Although initially envisioned as simply a liaison force, the
sudden and successful string of attacks on merchant shipping along the nation’s coast provided an opportunity for
the CAP. On March 5, newly appointed CAP national commander Earle E. Johnson received permission to develop a
coastal patrol, with bases at Atlantic City, N.J.; Rehoboth
Beach, Del.; and, later, at Lantana, Fla. The coastal patrol
was given 90 days to prove itself.

stress the frames of the Pipers, Stinson and Rearwins could
take. Most of the smaller planes were configured to carry either a single 50- or 100-lb. bomb. The four-seater Fairchilds
could carry two 100-lb. bombs. Stinsons could each carry a
100-lb. depth charge, but the fins had to be sawn off to clear
the tarmac on takeoff. The Army Air Corps also provided a
simple bomb sight for the CAP crews.

Flying their own aircraft, the CAP volunteers received $8 a
day from the government. This often wasn’t enough to pay
for fuel and maintenance, so civic groups around the nation created “Sink-a-Sub Clubs” to raise additional dollars
for the coastal patrol. The pilots and navigators wore Army
Air Corps uniforms that sported CAP collar devices and a
distinctive CAP insignia on their garrison caps. The planes
were painted yellow and red and featured the CAP logo: a
red propeller inside a white triangle situated on a circular
blue field. At some point, the red propeller was dropped
from the logo to prevent confusion by observers. The planes
largely consisted of Piper J-3 Cubs (and later, surplus numbers of the military version, the Piper L-4 Grasshopper),
Stinson Voyagers and Reliants, and a few Grumman G-44
Widgeon boat planes.
The coastal patrol experienced success from the very beginning. Fifteen minutes into the initial sortie flown from Atlantic
City, a CAP crew located a torpedoed tanker and coordinated rescue efforts. Another CAP crew flying out of Rehoboth Beach sighted a U-boat as it lined up on a tanker off
Cape May, N.J. Recognizing that armed military craft could
not arrive on scene in time to save the tanker, the CAP crew
instead performed mock bombing runs on the submarine.
Rather than waiting to see if the plane was actually armed,
the U-boat commander disengaged from the attack. CAP
pilots soon found themselves patrolling up to 200 miles offshore, keeping watch for U-boats, but the fact that they were
not armed soon became an issue.

The Widgeon followed the sub for a tense three hours and
was about to return to base when the U-boat ascended to
periscope depth. Haggins lined up on the submarine and
dropped to an altitude of only 100 feet above the waves.
As the CAP plane approached the U-boat, bombardier Farr
released the first of his two depth charges. The ensuing explosion blew the sub’s bow out of the water. Haggins banked
the aircraft for a second bombing run. Farr dropped his second depth charge on top of the oil slick that had appeared,
and the crew reported debris floating on the surface before
they departed the area to return to Atlantic City. The CAP
had its first kill, and the sinking of the U-boat quickly became
the stuff of legend. After the war, the Navy officially credited
the Civil Air Patrol with sinking two U-boats, although German records do not confirm either kill.

The CAP was envisioned as a force to augment military aviation—and to
give civilian pilots a wartime role.

In May, CAP crew Thomas Manning and Marshall “Doc”
Rinker were patrolling the waters off Cape Canaveral when
they spotted a German U-boat grounded on a sandbar.
Rinker radioed the CAP base at Lantana, requesting that
a bomber be dispatched to attack the stranded U-boat.
Ike Vermillya, the CAP base commander, radioed Naval Air
Station Banana River, an anti-submarine warfare air base
that was home to Consolidated PBY Catalinas and the
OS2U Kingfisher aircraft. Unfortunately, the air station had
no assets that it could dispatch to the site of the grounded
submarine; neither did Tampa. A bomber equipped with
depth charges was finally located at Naval Air Station
Jacksonville and dispatched. Helplessly, Manning and Rinker
circled the U-boat for half an hour before the sub was able to
free itself and escape into deeper water. It was long gone by
the time the bomber arrived from Jacksonville.
As a result of this missed opportunity, Vermillya contacted
General Arnold, chief of the Army Air Corps, and related the
story. Arnold, sympathetic to the situation, authorized the
CAP to be armed with bombs and depth charges. Civil Aeronautics Administration inspectors worked out how bomb
racks could be attached to the small planes and how much

ALABAMA SEAPORT • DECEMBER 2010

Soon, the skies over the Eastern Seaboard were swarming
with what the U-boat commanders referred to as the “yellow
bees.” The coastal patrol had proven its effectiveness within
its 90-day window, and the program was extended indefinitely. The anti-submarine effort eventually grew to include
21 CAP coastal patrol bases stretching from Maine to Texas.
According to CAP lore, the civilian air corps conducted one
of its most successful operations during a coastal patrol
flight out of Atlantic City. Alerted by another CAP aircraft that
an enemy submarine had been sighted, a Grumman G-44
Widgeon flown by Captain Johnny Haggins and Major Wynant Farr was scrambled to relieve the plane that was running
low on fuel. Arriving on station, pilot Haggins and bombardier Farr sighted a submerged U-boat. Unable to determine
the actual depth of the submarine, the crew radioed in to
report the situation and began shadowing the U-boat, hoping that it would rise to periscope depth.

CAP aviators check their briefing packet before beginning a coastal patrol
mission. The CAP coastal patrol flew nearly 87,000 missions, hunting and
attacking subs, locating floating mines, escorting convoys, and aiding
ships and crews in distress.

ALABAMA SEAPORT • DECEMBER 2010

Whether Haggins and Farr actually sank the U-boat, crippled it or fell victim to the submariners’ trick of creating an
oil slick and debris field to fool attackers, the CAP continued
to provide much-needed support to the war effort at home.
By the time the coastal patrol was discontinued at the end of
August 1943, the CAP had reported 173 U-boat sightings,
attacked 57 enemy subs by dropping 83 bombs or depth
charges, and flown more than 86,800 sorties, logging more
than 244,600 flight hours. During the 18 months that the
coastal patrol was in existence, it also reported 17 floating
mines, flew 5,684 missions for the Navy escorting convoys

and directed assistance to 91 ships in distress. When interviewed for an oral history of the war, one former U-boat commander quipped that the wolf packs had abandoned attacks
along the American coast “… because of those damned little
red and yellow airplanes.” It was true that the U-boat threat
had lessened: Blackouts, the implementation of convoys and
evasive maneuvers by merchant vessels, placement of Navy
Armed Guards on merchantmen, the use of Navy blimps and
the build up of armed military aircraft to conduct more patrols
all combined to eliminate the need for the CAP’s coastal patrol, but there remained other work to be done.
The CAP was well-suited to conduct search and rescue operations. Civil Air Patrol aircraft could fly lower and slower
than most military aircraft, and the pilots were generally
knowledgeable about their local area. For inland search
and rescue operations, CAP pilots coordinated efforts with
CAP ground crews who could traverse rugged terrain to rescue downed airmen. For water search and rescue efforts,
the Grumman Widgeons proved invaluable in the rescue
of flyers who had ditched their aircraft. The first Air Medals
awarded during World War II by President Roosevelt went
to CAP pilots Eddie Edwards and Hugh Sharp for an at-sea
rescue during which their own aircraft lost a pontoon, forcing Edwards to balance on the plane’s wing for 11 cold, wet
and miserable hours while Sharp taxied back to safety. During the war years, the CAP logged more than 24,000 hours
flying search and rescue missions, and in one week alone
located seven missing military aircraft.

quartered at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Ala., today’s CAP has three primary missions: emergency services,
including search and rescue operations and disaster relief
operations; aerospace education; and the cadet program.
While the Civil Air Patrol has also been tasked with some
homeland security missions, its days of hunting and attacking submarines are now only glorious memories.

In October 1942, the CAP launched its cadet program, and
more than 20,000 youths between the ages of 15 and 17
and who had completed their first two years of high school
signed up for the program. Just as Cadet Tommy Rye often
flew search and rescue missions hunting for B-25s that had
crashed in northern Alabama or Mississippi, thousands of
other youths provided equally valuable service across the
nation, flying search and rescue missions, ferrying war materiel or medical supplies, freeing up military-aged pilots for
service with the Air Corps or Navy, and learning military etiquette while training as licensed pilots themselves.
On April 29, 1943, command of the Civil Air Patrol was
transferred from the Office of Civilian Defense to the War
Department, and the CAP became the auxiliary to the Army
Air Forces. The CAP acquitted itself well and earned its
place in history during World War II: Every pilot who logged
more than 300 flight hours with the coastal patrol earned
an Air Medal; 90 CAP aircraft were lost, and a total of 64
CAP aviators died while flying missions during the war—26 of
them killed while flying coastal patrol missions. Following the
war, the CAP kept its affiliation with the newly-created U.S.
Air Force and was relegated to non-combat missions. Head-
