While commanding CARRIER DIVISION-SIX, Lambert also assumed command of Task Force SIXTY, the main offensive arm of the U.S. Sixth Fleet. His flagship was the super carrier INDEPENDENCE (CVA-62). Task Force SIXTY normally consisted of two aircraft carriers, supported by two cruisers and screened by fourteen destroyers. On this particular tour, the second carrier was Lambert's earlier command: the SARATOGA (CVA-60). |
