| Message | I was aboard the Randolph from the time of re-commissioning(July 1953) till October of 1955. I was a radiomen 3rd class "OR" division. I have read a lot about the Randolph but no one ever mentions how the ship sailed into hurricane Carol in 1954 off the coast of Virginia. Captain Quackenbush, I heard, was shipped off to Alaska after that mistake. Does the Navy want to hide this fact since the ship was very badly damaged, going into dry dock for extensive repairs. Please contact me if you were aboard during that hurricane and let me know it wasn't just a dream. Carl Slutz l l561-483-5263 |

| Message | My father was Gerald "Jerry" Palmer (he passed in 2000), I don't have dates but he served on the Randolph I think from 1957-1958ish. All I know is he worked on planes. He loved motorcycles and dabbled in photography and SCUBA. I would love to know more about his time on the ship. I have the Med. book and photos and other items from his travels. He later went to Alabama for awhile. His hometown was Menasha, Wis. I remember one safety tidbit/story he would tell us about. Never use the ejection seat in the plane under the deck. |

| Message | I served in X Division, between 65 thru 69, looking for Paterson, Ahelert, O'Shay, John Haggard, was our Division Officer. I use to box in the smokers at sea, and enjoyed that very much. John Sheldon; from Washington D.C. use to work with me. There use to be a cook on board, Hawthorne was pretty good in the ring. Does anyone remember us picking up scottish fishermen, when their boat got in trouble? They use to have a 5 cent coke machine outside the infermary, it would dispense coke in a small paper cup. And those wonderful, boring fog foam, watch stations. |

| Message | My father served on the Randolph in the late 60's. He retired around 67 but passed on in 69. My grandson is doing a report on the Randolph and I would appreciate any info from any one that may have known my father-Manuel (Mike) Holman. He was an aviation storekeeper and CPO I believe. Thank you. I will return to this site often. |

| Message | Looking for anyone who may have known about a helo training accident that happened in 1965. My late uncle, ENS Earle Hanselman Jr. (aka Butch) was a helo pilot serving on the USS Randolph in1964/65. He was one of 2 pilots lost at sea during this accident. My family doesn't seem to know much about him or what happened. It is my understanding that 2 enlisted men survived the crash. If you know anything about my uncle or the incident- please contact me.- thank you |
