| Message | I went aboard Randolph in 1959 as ICFN and left her as a second class in '61, retired as FTCS in '77. Best ship I was ever in, we owned every award available to an Atlantic fleet carrier and were on our way to our 5th Battle efficiency E when the Shangri-la picked up the first astronaut and they got it over us, we were not happy, someone said the gold paint had already been ordered. I was aboard during the collision in '61 when Harry Cook was CO, terrific skipper, everyone loved the guy, remember the "Harry and Jim show" when we got closed circuit TV, he and the XO read the news each night. I remember when they passed the word to standby for collision to port, we were playing cards in the IC room and they backed her down so hard the deck plates were jumping to the point it was difficult to walk. I've always credited our high level of training for keeping that from becoming a real disaster, we had some heros that day for sure and BZ to those guys up fwd fighting the fire. The old girl was a mess, but no-one was injured, had we gotten stopped and the tanker passed the bow, she would have cut the Stormes in half. Many wonderful memories of serving with some terrific shipmates in a grand ship of the greatest Navy in the world. |

| Message | I served aboard the USS Shangri-La CVA 38 in 1966-1968. A friend of mine, Sam Taylor served on the Randolph. I wanted to see what life was like on the Randolph and discovered that both ships offered simular conditions. I have enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading the stories. |

| Message | In Memorium to My Uncle Commander William Hoover during WWII. His worst and Best mission was to climb into the well to release landing gear on a COD for touchdown on deck prior to landing. They had no where else to land but the Randolph. Had he not gone in, "We would have been swimming"! He had great memories and passed them on to his family. His Ashes were dumped in the ocean off another carrier at his passing. He loved his Navy. Thank you to ALL of our Veterans on this Veterans day, 2010. Without you, This would not be the Country we are today. God Bless. BPD |
