Comments: What was the full name of Cabot for whom the ship was named, and what was his claim to fame?

Comments: In regards to the USS Cabot CVL-28 final disposition. Saw her in June 1998 tied up in Port Isabel, Tx. People were trying to raise money to make her a museum like the USS Lexington in Corpus Christi. Heard this summer she had been moved a little further back up the coast but was still intact. I served aboard the Uss George Clymer APA-27 from July 1954 to April 1956 as a radioman in ships company. Glad to find this site, wonder how many other RM's out there remember those days.

I noticed the absence of the USS Bataan CVL29 from your list of carriers
serving in Korea. I served two tours of duty in Korea aboard the 
Bataan.

Also, I noted the USS Cabot CVL30 is listed. I don't think the Cabot 
was ever in Korea.

More: I have no official information on the CABOT. From personal
knowledge I can tell you that I served on the BATAAN from May 1950 to 
the fall of 1952. My brother was assigned to the CABOT the same time I
reported on the BATAAN in Pensacola (pilot qualifications I guess). 

I am not sure how long he was on the CABOT.   During the period I
was on the BATAAN (May 1950 to fall of 1952) the CABOT was not on the
West Coast. Hope this will help you.

Thanks for the "Page" - I enjoy reviewing it---
