Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!
We searched the Logbooks of U.S. Navy Ships and Stations, 1941 - 1983 and located the deck logs of the USS Wasp (CVS-18) for October 1968, which was part of Task Group 87.1. For access to these records, please contact the National Archives at College Park - Textual Reference (RDT2) via email at archives2reference@nara.gov.
Post-WWII U.S. Navy operational records such as those for TG 87.1 are in the custody of the Operational Archives Branch, Naval History & Heritage Command, 805 Kidder Breese Street, SE, Washington Navy Yard, Washington, DC 20374-5060.
NATO records pertaining to Exercise Silver Tower are in the custody of the NATO Archives. The website is http://archives.nato.int/ and email address is nato.archives@hq.nato.int.
We hope this information is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
