Ted,
My Father, Jimmie F. Locklear served onboard the USS BADOENG STRAIT,
CVE-116 from 1951-1953. He has several cruise books and quite a few sea
stories.
Anyone with interest can e-mail me at: locklear@mich.com
My Father also served at Naval Base Guam (Apra Harbor) 1953-54.

Hi, Ted.
I'm looking for information on the USS Badoeng Strait during the
period from 1953-1956. If you can direct me toward any information,
I'd appreciate it. My father served aboard the ship during this period
and I'm looking for any historical information that might be available.
Thanks,

My father in-law, Bill Baughman served aboard the ship during this
period.
He is trying to locate two ship mates, JH Engle (Toad), and BV Scott
(Scotty). I am looking for any information that might be available to
help locate them or other members of the crew.
Thanks,

Cannot seem to find a history or war record regarding the Badoeng
Straits. I served aboard her from April 1950 to May 1952.
I was in charge of the Aviation Electronics shop as an AT-2.

Hi!
My step-father, E. Paul McGee, served aboard this ship during the Korean
War as a pilot. He flew an F4U Corsair. He is now deceased and I would
like to know if anyone knew him or if I could find out about the ship's
role during the war.
I am now an active duty Infantry Officer in the Army and he did not
talk about it that often. I know so little about what he did and regret
never finding out. Can you help me?
Thanks.
