Comments: My father was navigator of the Bataan in 1951 and 1952. He died in 1989, much before his time. We still have the "yearbook" and other stuff, plus an 8mm movie of a plane crashing on deck as it was landing. I remember going on board at least twice in San Diego. We lived in Coronado.

Comments: Interested in connecting with individuals who knew my father when he served aboard the Bataan from 1950 - 1953. He was a member of the Aviation crewman division of the V7th. If anyone remembers him I would like to hear from you and pass the information over to my father. He fears computers but is very much interested in finding his crew mates during that time.

(dp. 11,000; l. 622'6"; b. 109'2"; dr. 26'; s. 32 k.; cpl. 1569; a. 26 40 mm.; cl. Independence)
“...her aircraft flew strikes in support of the ground forces...”
Bataan was recommissioned 13 May 1950 at Philadelphia. In July 1950 she stood out for San Diego, upon arrival loaded Air Force cargo and personnel, and departed 16 November for Tokyo Bay. She arrived in Korean waters 15 December and until June 1951 her aircraft flew strikes in support of the ground forces.
Bataan departed for the west coast 2 June 1951 and after a brief stop at San Diego steamed to Bremerton, Wash., 9 July for overhaul. She returned to San Diego 20 November and on 27 January 1952 departed for Yokosuka, Japan, and thence to Buckner Bay, Okinawa.
She conducted air exercises and other training maneuvers off Okinawa until 29 April when she sailed for Korean waters. Bataan continued operating between Japan and Korea throughout the summer of 1952 carrying personnel and supplies to the fighting area and launching strikes against the enemy. She left the fighting zone 11 August for San Diego.
On 27 October the carrier once again stood out for the Far East and operated off Korea until 10 May 1953 when she departed for San Diego.
USS Bataan received six battle stars for her World War II service and seven for her Korean service.
