Today while showing my dad the way I search the net, we tried a search
on the USS Princeton (of his time).
As he sits here beside me, he is telling me of his time on the
Princeton. I did all of my time on CV-66. Any way, he just returned
from a re-union CV-37, LPH-5 in Las Vegas.
The convention went for 3 days. He met a lot of his old crew mates
including plank owners. And some who were on till it was re-designated
to LPH-5. A good time was had by all!

I am a Korean War vet. I was a naval aviator, 1950-53, CAG 19
(USS Princeton CV-37). Good Lord, was it really 43 years ago! I am
always saddened when I realize that "our war" has been relegated to
a dusty sidelight of history. Nothing ever mentioned.

I served on the USS Princeton CV 37 from Oct 1951 to March 1952, when
I was discharged.
I'm trying to learn what happened to her after March 1952.

I'm looking for anyone with information the 1952 (?) courtmartial of
BM3 Edward Burge. The proceeding arose after the theft of a peacoat
while the carrier was on the west coast.
Any information regarding this incident at all would be appreciated.
Please respond to my e-mail address.
Thanks in advance,

How well I remember the first time I saw that big 37 standing tall on a
foggy night in the Bremerton Naval Yards in 1950. Fresh out of boot camp
in San Diego I was making my way to my assigned compartment with sea bag
on my shoulder.
I was starting through a hatch when I meet none other than the
ex-officer in a big hurry. He bounced off my sea bag and in getting up
he apologized. Thats when I realized I was aboard the best ship in the
fleet. Looking forward to hearing from you.
