VF-112
I was aboard the Phil Sea With VF-112 during the cruise that was called
the "Korean Encore" (cruise book title). Did Mostly mess cooking and
compartment cleaning for that cruise. I went to AT-A school after that,
and made the next cruise aboard the Kearsarge.

I served in the Navy from 1950-1954. I did two tours with VF-114
aboard the Philippine Sea CV-47. Then I transferred to VS-38 and did
1 tour with that squadron aboard several CVE's; in Japan; and trips to
Hong Kong; Subic Bay; off Formossa; South China Sea.
I am seeking the following:
1. Squadron mates from both VF-114 and VS-38.
2. Anyone who served on the USNS GENERAL NELSON M. WALKER
and andyone who served on an Oiler USS CACAPON.
3. Aso, my brother, 2nd. Lt. William M. Carter was killed
while flying an F-51 while serving with the Air Force.
He went down off Korea on 10 Oct. 1950. He was in the
25th. Fighter/Intercepter Squadron.
Anyone who knew him or served with him, I would like to hear.
Thanks,

Am looking up the name of a Navy man who was stationed on the USS
Philipine Sea and was drowned on July 12, 1953 at Kamakura Bay,
Japan, while on an R & R.
I don't know where to find his name listed. His name was Robert J.
Lawson and he was my fiance. Because he was not killed in action, will
his name be ommitted from any memorials and if not, why?
Drowned July 12, 1953 in Kamkura Bay, Japan while on liberty. Was
assigned to Phil Sea. He was attached to VC3 out of Moffett Field.
He is buried in Ft. Lewis, Wa. because his father had been in the Army
there at one time.
Thank you very much for your help.

Hi,
My dad, George Sherwood, and his brother, Louis Sherwood, were
supposedly the first brothers on the same ship, the USS Phillipine Sea,
in the Korean War since Pearl Harbor. I would like to find out some
information on this. All I have is family say so. Can I contact
someone who was on the Phillipine Sea who might have known either one of
them? All I have is what family members have told me over the years and
would like more information on it. Thanks for your help.

Sgt Kuklinski was my father. He was assigned to the Marine Complement
on the USS Phillipine Sea , CV-47. Pop died in 1991. I am attempting
to gather information on the ship, its duties during the time pop was
assigned to her for our family records.
I would also like find out what decorations he received and if any one
has or had photos, etc of him during this time.
I would like to talk to some of the guys he served with if that's
possible.

My Father, Jerry Marvin Pettengill, was on the Philippine Sea, Carrier
Air Group 11. He was the guy who was in charge of checking out the
hydraulics on the planes as they came in and out. Whatever that is
called.
He is still alive and well outside of Dallas, TX. He was in the Navy
from Feb 16, 1948 until Feb. 16, 1952. He has some photos and
memorabilia, including three "crosses" for three battles.
He would like to get involved in some activities, but doesn't know how.
At his behest, would you respond to this request if you can direct us
in the right direction.
Thanks,
David Marvin Pettengill
