Looking for the Cook of the USS Cabot

Comments: My grandfather, Frank Daniel Boone, served on the USS Cabot as a cook and I'm trying to find any additional information. My father's memory is no help so I don't know the years served. If anyone knows where I can get the cruise book, photographs (that aren't already published online) or a reference to his service, I'll take what ever you've got. My grandfather died in '68 or '69 and there are just no records that I can find. Does anyone remember him?

RES SQUAD. ON CABOT 1950

Comments: We flew down from WILLOW GROVE NAS in R4Ds. Our F-6s did a few "touch and goes" for a day on the runway at Pensacola before trying to land on board the Cabot. We sailed down to Galvestion Texas. We took on fresh drinking water there. Never did get that Sulpher taste out of the tanks. I was in a starboard side "well" just off the flight deck during operations working as a "fly one talker" relaying information. The rest of the time I worked on plane maintence records. We towed a yellow gunnery target some days. Had two planes go over the side, one on a "cold cat shot" the other landed missing everything including the barrier cables. Both men survived. Sorry to hear the old girl is being cut up and scraped.

USS CABOT GUNNERY DIV.

Comments: I served aboard the CABOT from Apr '49 to Jul '51. After the initial "mess-cooking" I was a member of the Gunnery Div. I believe it was the "F" Div. I stayed in the F Div until we went into the Philladelphia Naval Shipyard in Sept of 1950. At which time I was transferred to the 1st Div. and played chip wier brush and pant till I shipped out in Jul '51.

I have just now came across this site but will get to his pictures and other boxes to see what kind of information I may provide anyone. Please feel free to contact me anytime to see if I may have some information. I have scanned in several photo's to see what kind of quality I would get. They look pretty good. Please email me with questions if I can help. My Father passed away on March 23rd, 1998 of a heart attack. He was planning on returning to NY for a reunion in September of that year. He lived out most of his life in Charleston, WV and from 1985 till his death he was in Des Moines, Iowa with my brother Gary.

Re Uss Cabot CVL-28

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.
