Comments: Hello, my father told me about the explosion on the USS Boxer August 1952. There are many stories he has held in and we do not or probably will never know about. He told us about this explosion for the first time. He was talking about his life in the Navy and I told him Dad you are lucky to be alive. He started to choke up, grabbed his face and cry. He then said his friends were killed in that explosion. I could feel the pain my dad had in his heart at that time. There was silence and I comforted him and sadly told us about the explosion. My father's name is Joe Ollervides. He retired from the Navy in the early 1970's. Would anyone of you remember him. I came across this website on my search for the USS Boxer. Thank you. Mini Kaplan

Jason Keehr wrote on 2004-11-04 23:51:08.0
Comments: One story I can remember is of an Asian worker that got his hand caught under a transmission as it was being loaded unto a pallet. The worker made no effort to let anyone know of his demise, yet my father saw this and had the transmission lifted. It could have been an engine too, I just can't remember. The worker wanted to go back to work since he could not afford to take the time off to fix his hand (dangling fingers). My father then went to all his buddies and asked them to put their pocket money into a hat and helped the worker out to get the operation needed and time off. This worker was deeply obliged to my father and did many things for him afterwards. I wish I could find who this worker was and his family, but this was a long time ago. i also wish I could find some of the crew mates he was with. Feel free to email me. jason@milescoscientific.com
Keywords: My father Raymond Keehr served on the Boxer in, I think, 52 and 53. He is still alive and I will ask him more info. He has told me many stories about what he had done there and they make me think some people would want to contact him for what he had done for them. Hopefully here on this forum, I will find more. Thank you for posting this website.

I am the son of Eugene Duke. He has told me about the shipboard fire on the Boxer, and many stories of aircraft ditching -- or coming back shot up. He fought the fire on the Flight Deck and the Hanger Deck.
If you are from the V-1 Division or worked with him on the flight deck, please contact me, and I will forward any messages I receive. He lives in California.

Sea School Marine
From: Mary_Lawson@prenhall.comDate: Tue, 30 Apr 96
My father, GSgt. George W. Lawson (USMC ret.), is a veteran of the
Korean War. He was a Sea School Marine and served aboard the USS
Boxer during the Inchon invasion and at least one other tour to Korea.
When I told him about the search capabilities available through your
site, he asked if I could post a notice re: Roy M. Haley .
Sgt. Haley (serial number 1071611) also served aboard the Boxer during
the war and was best man at my parent's wedding (Jan. 12, 1951 - Alameda
Naval Base - my mother's maiden name is Doris Mattocks).They lost touch
during the sixties.
Currently there is no listing for the USS Boxer under the Naval
listings in the "Looking For" section. There is also no way to search
for Marines who served aboard ship. Is it possible to add these?
I can be reached at:
mary_lawson@prenhall.com
if you need any more information.
Thank you for providing this web site. My folks are driving back east
in May and we're planning on visiting the memorial.
