 Comments: I'm currently working on a model aircraft project on the history of the "jolly Rogers" squadrons
beginning with the original VF-17 and concluding with the current name holder VF-103. This also includes the second
VF-17, VF-5B, VF-61, and VF-84. But I have run into problems. The navy's records state only the aircraft used by the
squadron, for example VF-84 operated the FJ-3 Fury before given the Jolly Rogers name.VF-84 recieved the name when
it traded it's Furys in for F8U Crusaders. In the case of VF-61, I have found very little correct information on
squadron aircraft from 1947 (when it was designated as VF-5B) to about 1954.The little accurate information that I
have states that they operated F8F Bearcats until about 1951. Then they operated the F9F Panther/Cougar series
aircraft until 1956.I'm tring to find more accurate information on VF-5B/VF-61 from 1947-1956, including any
pictures of the aircraft operated by the squadron. I've found only 1 picture of an VF-61 Bearcat and a few on the
F9F-8 Cougar, but no pictures of aircraft in between (maybe F9F-2/3/4 Panther). I understand that the VF-61 operated
from the FDR from 1949-1951? Any information/pictures would be greatly appreciated in getting this model history as
accurate as possible. You can send the information/pictures to my E-mail or to my address.

 Years aboard: 1962 ~ 1965 ~ O.I. Division ~ Radar
 Comments: I served aboard the Rosie ( as a non- com) from late 1962 when I flew in to the airstrip at Palermo
Sicily. I spent two and one half years aboard her through two Med cruises includeing the one where we struck a whale
bending a screw, had to return to Bayonne , N,.J. I then went to OCS for ECM school then back to the Rosi after her
repairs for the second Med cruise. I was the radarman who detected UFO's on mid-watch in 1964 while were were in the
Mediteranen conducting NATO Operations.. I was also mustered in Guantanemo Bay when Castro cut the water while we
were on ORI maneuvers.
Anyone out there who might read this I'd ask if you served in Operations Intelligence, to give me a call at my work
(402) 548-3834. I'm now a teacher, Architect and my Navy training provided me with the know how to have worked with
NASA friends on various projects.
I was honorably discharged from the Navy in July of 1967 with commendations . I served aboard the USS Laffey and USS
Loeser out of the U.S. Naval Gun Factory in Washington, D.C. I was a ECM-CIC Instructor later at the Jones Point
Naval Training Center where I was offered a chance to earn a commission as U.S. Naval Reserve Officer. I instead
opted to study in Italy as a civilian at Temple Univerisity School in Rome to later earn my MFA at Cranbrook
Academy. Life aboard the Rosie taught me many things and provided skills which turned out to be priceless in todays
job market. I owe a lot to the men aboard the Rosie I served with.

 Comments: I am updating my email address. I would like to hear from some FOX Div sailors from that period. I worked
usually in the foward 37 Fire control system director above the bridge. I enjoyed
my tour of the NAVY on the Rosie and as others have said, "I wouldn't trade to for a million dollar ." I might have
bitched at the time, but as I reminisce, I
think what a great experience I had. If only today's kids had such an opportunity. I have lots of photos of flight
ops, and even some photos someplace of the
Russian ships that were around when we were in the Med. I took the photos of the Russian ships through the range
finder in the foward director. Well, I hope
that I hear from some of you FOX Div. Sailors of that period.

months until I read it here.

the Rosie was slowly destroying with every trap. My fondest memories though were the friends I made throughout the
cruise, especially the men in the Navigator Bible studies. Wish I could locate Lloyd Schroder, he was ships company
on the 71 cruise. Would enjoy hearing from anyone that was in VF-41 at that time.

 Comments: I was a radarman in OI Division for 3 yrs., then transfered to OI Division aboard the USS Shangri- La
CVA-38 until 5/17/62. Still a radarman, but worked primarily in ECM (Electronic counter measure). Discharged in May
of 1962. Met a wonderful girl at Thanksgiving, just after our 1958 shakedown cruise in Gitmo, and Married her right
after the 1959 Med cruise on 9/12/59/ and on that same date this year, we'll celebrate our 42nd. Anniversary. We
also raised three children, 2 girls, and one son, all 3 turned out very successful, and were honor students. All 3
now own their own businesses. After getting out of the navy, I ended up as a police officer, and following a stroke
in 1979, I was retired medically. I have very fond memories of my time spent in the navy, that nothing could ever
replace. Congratulations on this site, as I hope to hear from some old shipmates.

leaks in the steam lines-four hour watches and those crabs that John M.Cecil brought aboard from
Haiti.....otherwise, it was GREAT DUTY!

guy or remember him. And do you know how to get in touch with him. Also, After my 3 months of mess duty I went to
CIC. Any old CIC buddies out there? This would all have been late 72, early 73.

Circle to test the "New" steam catapults in the Winter of 1956, on to Mayport and up eastern seaboard. Rode out
terrible storm out of Norfolk. Lost a Sponson Deck, as I remember. I was a Radioman in the OR Division. Would love
to hear from any of the guys I served with. Transferred to USS Leyte in 1957.

 Comments: A-6 Pilot under CDR Alexander/CDR Mikitarian. Flight Officer for cruise. This cruise is the highlight of
my life from the standpoint of excitement danger and romance. I was kept too busy all in all and this explains why I
didn't extend past my 5 year contract in USNR. I'll always remember the FDR with gratitude, and I'll never forget
the perpetual smoke in the groove. Night carrier landings in bad weather are still with me, etched in my small
brain, and serve to define my outside limit of fear.

 Comments: I have heard from a few old friends, would like to hear from more. Anyone from 4th div. '72-'74 I was in
the boat shop and on the GIG with the "dog" and "dink" was the coxson. Millar was the other BM on board.
Would also like to hear from V-2's who remember "Rocky" Roche.
Anyone who can remember a "man-over-board" that I believe happened on a shake-down off the Jax coast. The guy jumped
from 3 elev. one night. Someone saw him and we did the drill. I was the eng. (snipe) on the waleboat that picked the
guy up. An Ens. from 4th div. was the Boat Officer with us, and he and I pulled the guy into the boat. Anybody with
any info on this please mail me.
To the crew of the Adm. BARGE that was with us in Athens in 1974-1975 cruise...I was a EN-3 on the GIG then and we
were outrunning the BARGE on a run from the beach to the ship. The GIG had a single engine and the BARGE had twins
and we were still pulling away from her. Capt. Morin noticed this and made the coxson slow down to allow the BARGE
to get to the ship and debark first. Then he told me to take the shims out of the governer on the engine. Pretty
smart for a birdfarm C.O.! Anyway, I got the Flag off the BARGE later that night while we were tied up in the marina
next to them.
Got a million stories from those days!
Write,

 Comments: I was a S1/C AOM at the time and the cruise in spring of 1947 was her second one. We cruised around the
Carribean for most of the six weeks we were out and we lost six of my squadron aircraft, SB2C's.
Most of them were lost in a storm when they didn't spot them aft and we were taking waves over the flight deck. Some
one decided that they should move them aft and they then had tigers by the tail. Luckily no one went over with them.
Our squadron Skipper, Cdr. Stablein, crashed on the final leg of his landing and the Chief Radioman in the rear seat
went down with the plane. Cdr. Stablein was the second person to be rescued by helo during carrier op's.
Retired Cdr. Bob Shields was the first pilot to be rescued by helo and co-incidentally was also flying a SB2C.
In 1947 the Navy was so short of funds that the ship only went out once a year.
Our only port of call that cruise was Port of Spain, Trinidad, we had three days there.

Then to the Lake Champlain CVA-39. Then back to the Roosevelt when it came to the Med in 1957, went to V-6 Div. When
we went to Brooklyn Navy Yard, I went to the Mess Deck Master Arms Force for 6 months, that is when I met my wife,
thought I was going to stay in the Navy but she changed my mind. Trying to get a FDR Reunion in the Boston area. Had
the best time of my life in the Navy, and saw places in the world that you pay thousands of dollars to see,I think
every one should go in the service,it makes you a better person, I am enjoing retired life now,have two sons & two
grandsons & we all live in Beverly,Mass.

I wouldn't trade to for a million dollar . I might have bitched at the time, but as I reminisce, I think what a
great experience I had. If only today's kids had such an opportunity. I have lots of photos of flight ops, and
even some photos someplace of the Russian ships that were around when we were in the Med. I took the
photos of the Russian ships through the range finder in the foward director. Well, I hope that I hear from some
of you FOX Div. Sailors of that period.

left the ship as DK3 to join airwing as DK2 HS-3
USS Randolph CVS-15. Had a house fire in 1991
destroyed my cruise books and signed photos of Miss
Universe, Phyliss Diller and others on the Bob Hope
Visit. This site brings back a rush of memories as it
was my first duty station and actually my best. Was
lead nossle on replenishment fire where (9) shipmates
lost there life. Better stop now at nearly 55 some
memories get blurry, or is that the water in my eyes
great job shipmate.,
