U.S.S. INDEPENDENCE CV-62
"Conn . . . ASCAC, I think we have a sub about three miles away."
"ASCAC . . . . Conn,
Thanks guys, he's on the surface going down the port side."
The men of OX Division man a tightly locked space
called ASCAC. Which, as everyone knows, means
Anti-Submarine Classification and Analysis Center.
ASCAC is really the heart of INDY's Anti- Submarine
Warfare capabilities. By analyzing and evaluating
data received from the Air Wing's S-2's and helos,
these skilled technicians can pin point a submarine

Patrick Little ENS
1984 - 1985
OX Division Officer |

 |
V-2 Division
1967 - 1971
Was discharged from the Navy in 1971
Returned to active duty in 1977.
Was subsequently Commissioned as an
LDO Ensign, ASW Aviation Operations,
and assigned as INDY's OX Division
Officer, Operations Department.
LCDR, USN (RET) |
The ASCAC was later called the TSC (Tactical
Support Center) and supported the S-3A Viking
and SH-3D Sea King. In the navy's infinite wisdom,
they then changed Combat to the Combat Direction
Center (CDC) with each warfare specialty as a module
so the TSC became the Anti-Submarine Warfare
Module (ASW Module). During this time frame we
supported the S-3B Viking and the SH-3H and the
SH-60F Seahawk. Finally, as the Indy's story was
coming to a close, it became the TSC for the last time.
