USS WASP (CV-18) - POST TRUCE

Comments: The HOBSON was classified and named DMS-26 )Destroyer Minesweeper prior to the collison with the WASP near the Azores in the Atlantic Ocean on 4/26/52. She was no longer (DD-464). Check it out!

Also, the USS WASP left Norfolk, VA on 9/16/53 crossing the Atlantic Ocean and transiting the Suez Canal on her way to Japan. The WASP could not transit the Panama Canal, due to the recent addition of new gun sponsons for her 5"-54 cal guns mounted on port and starboard sides of the vessel. The Panama Canal locks are only 110 feet wide and WASP would never pass through the locks. Check it out!

I rode WASP during that period and have a cruise book showing WASP transiting the Suez Canal.

Respectfully,

He passed away when I was 27 and I never had the opportunity to talk with him about his days in the service because my parents divorced while I was very young. His only grandson (my son) is currently serving in the Navy and we'd like anyone that may have known him to share any/all information of him during this time with us. I know he was on the Wasp and I believe he was a Machinist Mate (?).

Comments: 2 Questions, First if you knew my Dad, emeial me so I can hook ya guys back up

I am building a 1/350 scale model of the wasp ( Trumpeter Models - CV9 _ Just released as WWII version) Very nice kit by the way,,,,,I was wondering if you had any nice deck shots in color...to help me detail. I am building for my dad who was on CV18 52-56. We were at Pennsicola Fl Naval musuem and saw a larger model of the WASP....gave me the idea, and it so happens a new kit was just introduced. Dad was on her before and after the deck retro fit, so any pics would be helpful. Though I am not building the retro fit. Anyway, just wondering, thank you Regars David

Comments: I am looking to find anyone who might have known my dad, Reginald R. Johnson, who served on the Wasp during the Korean War. I know he was on the ship when it collided with the Hobson. I believe he was a petty officer at the time.

He died when i was only 21, and i never really got to talk to him about this part of his life. Anyone who knew him who could tell me about him during this time, it would be greatly appreciated.
