John E. Printy CWO USN Ret - 12/18/97 04:28:31 My URL:http://home.att.net/~j..printy/index.html My Email:j..printy@worldnet.att.net Your ship: USS Lake Champlain, USS Wasp, USS Saratoga, USS Forrestal, USS Independence Date of service: 1948 - 1969 | Comments: Spent my entire naval career in naval aviation. Had one tour in a patrol squadron early in my career. All other sea duty was in carrier squadrons or ship's company on aircraft carriers. To this day, I still dream of my duty on those great ships. A memoria of this type is lasting but it is people who must pass on this legacy and it is our duty and responsibility to pass on the aircraft carrier legacy to future generations. They are an important part of naval history and must never be forgotten. |

Still get a proud feeling when I see movies, either o d or new, about flight ops on the deck of a carrier. Mr. Webmaster, thanks for the effort, nice page! |

Michael Williams - 10/14/97 04:21:27 My Email:williams@saber.net Your ship: Coral Sea CVA-43 Date of service: 1964 | Comments: I'm proud to say I was an "Airdale." Served on the Coral Sea in 1964 and was discharged hours before it sailed for the South China Sea. I was an ABH2 in the V3 division. We liked to have broke the "43 boat" during training for Nam off of Catalina Islan . We set the record for "traps" and never saw anything but the hanger and flight deck for 72 straight hours. Memories I will never forget! Good luck and fair sailing to your group. |

Paul A. Freitag - 10/12/97 15:57:08 My Email:Freitag1@Erols.com | Comments: I have been an avid follower of aircraft carriers since I was a kid. My comments are directed towards any members of the CV-13, U.S.S. Benjamin Franklin that are still with us. I hope you guys are remembered well. The Franklin was built in 13 months and was commisioned as no. 13. Most people would not ha e touched that ship with a ten-foot pole, but the men on board broke the jinx. Even after suffering one the worst kamakaize attacks of the war, the men of the Franklin managed to make repairs and eventually sail back to New York under their own power. All the best from someone who has a lot of respect for all the people who have served on flattops, past, present and future. |
