Comments: My Grandfather served on the coral Sea but I don't know when It could have been in the 1940' or any time after that. I'm trying to work up a history on my grandfather for my children. Not very much papertrails. My grandfather did collect zippo lighters on all the ships in which he served the lighter I have has a flag on the lid of the lighter. along with the ship etched in black on the back and the ship with a blue background on the front. Hope someone knows of my grandfather and could help me with any information. Thanks Robin

Comments: He was on the USS Coral Sea. I have been searching for years on any information on him. He was stationed in Japan around the early 1950's. If you knew him, liked him, thought he was a jerk, knew who he was dating or if he had any family and where they were from, then it is crucial that you respond. He had this big quasi- monobrow and seemed to be a player. I deserve the right to know.

Comments: Looking for list of VC-8 shipmates in 1953 and 1955 Med. Cruisebooks of USS Coral Sea. Earl C. (Bill) Bishop, AD1, plane captain on AJ-1 Savage was killed, along with pilot Lt. Don Bowman, and bombadier/navigator Lt. Powell Waid in crash at Naples on 20 July 1955. AJ left from Port Lyautey for the Coral Sea, had hydraulic problems, diverted, and crashed into a glass factory at Naples, Italy. He was also on Coral Sea during 1953 Med. Cruise. I'm helping his "kids" search for shipmates who knew their dad. I was also in VC-8 on '55 Med. Cruise, but lost the cruisebook.
