MessageI am trying to help my father, Dr. Robert Mansfield Jennings, locate a shipmate, Dr. Herman Kaplan. They served on the Randolph in the Navy Dental Corp (USNR) from 1954-1956 and he became a LT during that time, as did Dr. Kaplan. We know that Dr. Kaplan ended up in California & went on to become an oral surgeon and medical doctor. Would appreciate any information that leads to eventual contact with Herman Kaplan, MD DDS. Thank you!

MessageI WAS ON THE RANDOLPH FROM DEC. 1958 TILL DEC. 1960 IN THE SHIPYARD. ANYONE OUT THERE WHO HAS A CRUSE BOOK FROM THE MED CRUSE OF 1958, THAT CAN LOOK UP OR KNOWS ABOUT THE HEAD OF ENGINEERING COMMANDER HOOVER, WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM AND WHAT WAS HIS FIRST NAME. I UNDERSTAND THAT DURING WW11 HE WAS A MM1 AND WAS SELECTED FOR OCS, AND AFTER THAE WAS DROPED BACK TO MM1 AND LATER GIVEN HIS COMMISION BACK. ALSO THE HEAD OF MEDICAL AT THAT TIME HE WAS A COMMANDER I DON'T REMEMBER HIS NAME HE ALSO WAS A WW11 VET AND POW HE WAS ON THE BATAN DEATH MARCH, AND HAD A LOT TO DO WITH SAVING A LOT OF LIVES AT LEAST THIS IS WHAT I WAS TOLD.HELP.

I WAS ON THERE WHEN THE SECOND CLASS ELECTION WAS KILLED IN #3 FR WHILE STANDING A ROTATING WATCH ON #3 GENERATOR. I USE TO TALK WITH HIM WHEN HE CAME DOWN ON HIS ROUNDS. ANY ONE REMEMBER ALL THE RUSSIAN SUBS AND RUSSIAN SURVEY SHIP WE USE TO CHASE AROUND THE NORTH ATLANTIC? AND HOW THE RANDOLPH ENDED UP IN A COMIC STRIP OVER ALL THAT WENT ON UP THERE. ANYONE REMEMBER WHAT COMIC STRIP THAT WAS, I THOUGHT IT WAS DON WINSLOW OF THE NAVY BUT RESEARCH TOLD ME THEY STOPPED IT IN 1955. I WAS ON THE RANDOLPH FROM EARLY 1958 TO DEC. 1960, SO IT WASN'T DON WINSLOW. ANY HELP?
