was on the deck working with landing planes. He was
hurt when the arrestor cable snapped and whipped him

Unfortunately, while underway to Operation Mainbrace, I became pretty sick, and was diagnosed with Viral Pneumonia with a lesion on my left lung. Because I tested positive for TB, they had to take me off the ship in Edinboro Scotland. Long story short, they put me on the retired list, and my days of glory were all over. I wasn't aboard long enough to make any close buddies, and can't remember any names. But,I still have my Mighty Minnie Zippo lighter, and pictures of the ship. Go Navy !

NATO Navy exercise in the North Sea in 1952. Our mission was to keep
track of Russian Submarines operating out of their Baltic Bases. My crew
and I had some pretty hairy "dark and stormy" night missions. Most
memorable was the night we lost all communications with the ship and
were saved by an alert Scotland radar operator who identified us on his
scope and vectored me back for a safe landing. We did lose one of our
aircraft and the 3-man crew shortly before my incident, and I am
wondering if anyone remembers the identity of that pilot and two
crewmen. I do remember we spent a good part of the next day searching

Comments: Hi All
I was a member of the first squadron VMF 225 to operate off the USS Mindoro. A young Marine fresh out of Boot camp and newly assigned to a Marine Squadron VMF 225 at Miramar in the fall of 1945. We boarded the Mindoro at San Diego and sailed with her through the Canal to Guantanomo Bay for Fleet Manuevers. An interesting sidelight we launched several planes to join in the air search for the 4 Marine TBF lost at sea in 1945.
After the shakedown and manuvers the ship was sent to the Brooklyn Navy yard and part of the squadron remained aboard the rest going to Cherry Point the New home station. After the navy yard we operated out of Norfolk VA for about 18 months VMF 225 staying with the Mondoro for another 2 years before changing desiginations. I went on to radio/radar school becoming one of the first flight radarman operating out of a combat aircraft in the Corps. ( first aircraft WAS A f7f TWIN ENGINE NIGHT FIGHTER, this plane was to hot and heavy for the CVE to handle ) we later switched to the Sky raider, then to the A4d, You need to remember this was in the days before radar was in the fighters and our desigination was to lead the fighters to target aquistion.
I had the opportunity to go aboard the Mindoro when she operated in the Korean conflict for a short stay, still using the Piston engine corsair for ground support of the troops.
