| Message | Served on the Randolph from 1961 thru Aug., 1963 in the "oil shack". Was onboard for Glenn and Grissom recoveries, Cuban block-cade and the collision. I was in the #3 boiler room operating the steam oil transfer pump when over the head set came the words "secure pumping, oh my god we're going over the top of the ship". (the one we were refueling). The Randolph got its share of "E" awards and the "enlisted" had a lot to do with that. I enjoyed my time on the ship! If you e-mail me I will answer. |

| Message | My uncle, John Henry Price, Newville, Alabama served on the USS Randolph right at the end of WWII - I have the V-J Day Extra, dated Wednesday, August 15, 1945 bearing the headline: "Peace on Earth" announcing Japan's surrender. My uncle, like many WWII veterans never talked about the war or his service - I only wish that I had taken the initiative to have asked him to tell his story, but I have the letters he wrote to his mother (my grandmother) and three of the ship's special additions. Best regards to all that served aboard her. |

| Message | I served aboard Randolph from Feb '60 to May'62 in V-6 Div.ATN2 responsible for support of ARC-27, APS-38, ARN-6, ARC-21 Tacan benches. So many memories from 1st Liberty over St. Patrick's day in March of '60 in New York, Middie Cruise down the St. Lawrence to quebec City over the 4th of July. Recovery of Gus Grissom & Col. John Glenn, to the collision with the Liberian tanker 800 miles of the coast of Charleston, SC. Free diving in Guantanamo Bay, Liberty in St. Thomas V.I. while waiting for weather to clear at Cape Canaveral. Cat shots & traps as an aircrewman aboard the COD. So many good memories from 56 years ago. Learened a lot from the shipmates and crew on being a team player and proud to have served. God Bless |
