My father, Walter J. Brown was an airdale on the Randolph in the mid fifties. He did a Carribean cruise and a Med cruise. He was an aviation store keeper in the S division. His battle station was on one of the fantail 5-inch guns. He was the gun's telephone talker. He was aboard during the Suez Crisis when the Randolph assisted in the evacuation of US civilians from the mideast. He told me the gunners had orders to shot down any plane which entered the fleet's airspace whether it was Egyptian, Israelis, French or English. He passed away with coronary proplems in 2007.

On board from 9/1962 - 2/1966. Spent time in most of the IC shops and the last 1 1/2 years in the Fresnel lens shop with Frank Tiboni. Lots of good times as well as a few not so good times! Enjoyed it and still think it was a good experience. Had a lot of good friends, a few of whom I still see one in awhile.

I SERVED ABOARD THE RANDOLPH FROM NOV. 1958 UNTIL JUNE 1961. I WAS A BT AND MY ASSIGNED FIREROOM WAS THE NUMBER ONE FR. SOME OF THE MEMORIES HAVE LEFT MY MIND, BUT STILL REMEMBER A FEW GOOD ONES. I REMEMBER A COLLISION WE HAD WITH A FOREIGN SHIP THAT MESSED UP OUR BOW AND HAD TO GO TO PORTSMOUTH NAVY YARD TO BE REPAIRED. ALSO REMEMBER GOING TO DRY DOCK SAME YARD TO HAVE THE SONAR BUBBLE PUT ON OUR HULL WHEN WE CHANGED TO CVS. IT WAS GREAT TO GO TO THE 07 LEVEL AND WATCH PLANES TAKE OFF AND LAND. IF ANYONE REMEMEBERS ME GIVE ME A SHOUT.

To whom this may concern, Mr. Fred Ferrari Jr., passed away on Apr. 24, 2009. He served aboard as a MM, during WW II, he was 87 years young. His obituary is located in the daily press newspaper at dailypress.com Sunday 4-26-2009 page# 14. I thought you would like to add his name to your taps list, if you have one. We have a list in the Hancock CVA-19, Association. Take good care.henry.mccormick82@gmail.com Mack

There seems to be a glich in the fact that email addresses are not displayed unless they are in the message field or website field. So I will include my email in this followup post:
