LEYTE EXPLOSION IN BOSTON |
| BILL FORD wrote on January 18, 2012 CITY AND STATE: OCALA FL UNIT: X-DIVISION SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: NAVY VETERAN Comments: I was aboard the Leyte when she exploded while testing steam catapults at 5,000PSI on October 16, 1953. I lost a lot of friends that day. I was a printer and in the printshop at the time, just a few compartments away. I was in charge of a damage control party up forward. There were two explosions and I almost was blown through a hanger deck hatch when the second one happened. There have been a lot of conflicting stories about the explosion(s). I was in the official Navy photograph taking the wounded from the ship. I'm the sailor with the white handkerchief around my neck. Keywords: Uss Leyte CV32 July 1951-November 1953 |

INFORMATION ON LIEUT. LEONARD M DEROSE AND 1953 EXPLOSION |
| FRANK PISACANE SR. wrote on July 1, 2010 CITY AND STATE: SHELTON CT UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: OTHER Comments: Lieut. Leonard M. DeRose was an officer aboard the USS Leyte during the 1953 Boston explosion. He was instrumental in saving the lives of eleven shipmates despite he himself being burned beyond recognition. He died shortly after their rescue. As a friend of his sister and her family, I am attempting to gather additional information regarding the incident. So far the only significant facts are from a Time Magazine article that can be read at "DISASTERS: Tragedy for a Leading Lady - TIME" at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,818969,00.html I believe that there might also have been an article in one of the Boston papers. Any additional information that can be provided would be greatly appreciated. I was deeply and profoundly touched when I first learned of this story. I'm not certain that Lieut. DeRose was ever awarded a medal posthumously. If not, he should be, even after 63 years. Keywords: Leyte aircraft carrier explosion Boston 1953 disaster tragedy |

He was my wife's father, and passed away when she was only 3, in 1969. She never got to know him, and really would like to learn something about her dad. From what research her sister has done, we believe he served aboard the USS Leyte in the early 1950's. It would be greatly appreciated if anyone has any memories of him, or a photo that could be emailed to us. Her mother never really asked for much information about his service to the country, so very little is known. It would mean the world to my wife.
