1953 Crewman inquiry

Comments: I recently recieved a presentation piece and want to find out more about the man to whom it was given. It is the base of a 3"/50 Mk7-1 AA shellcasing, made in to an ashtray. It is inscribed," U.S.S. Kearsarge CVA-33, 1953, Robert M. Raber M.D." I would like to know more about the man, I would like to know more about the ship and crew. If anybody here knows anything about Dr. Raber, please contact me my e-mail or letter. Thank You for your time.

USS KEARSAGE bowling (Alfred Homsher)

Comments: Hello my Name is Lori Homsher youngest daughter of Alfred Homsher who served on the USS KEARSARGE during the Korean war. He joined a bowling team and I have many pictures. He has passed away in 2002 and he left me with many memories of his USS KEARSAGE reunions he went to.I am currently trying to find out when the ship will be in Norfolk VA so I may see it as this is what he always wanted our family to do. He has 4 grandkids and was alive to see them all but they miss him and he now has 2 greatgrandkids he never met. The great- grandkids know of him and the Navy. If anyone can help my family see this wonderful ship by letting us know when it will be docked in D.C. or Norfolk Va or near Pa anytime will be appriciated. Thank You

NAS North Island Photo Lab

Comments: Had a great few months at the NAS North Island photo lab in 1952 when I was a PHAN. Still have some memorable self-portraits I took while nobody was around, blew up, retouched and printed on the arial enlarger. Also a priceless portrait that was done one day when the 1st class in charge (don't recall his name) told me they needed a volunteer for a poster and I was the volunteer. He had me get in my best blues and did a full-front photo. Then blew it up lifesize, had it mounted on a board and sealed, then placed at the departure gate where we caught the nickel snatcher over to San Diego, next to a 6 foot mirror with a sign that read "If you look like this, you are ready to go on liberty". I still have a copy and I tell my grandkids that this is the most aquared-away sailor in the US of N. Also had a hair-raising experience when we went out to the runway, mounted a movie cam in the back of a pickup, and raced down the taxiway at 80 miles per hour shooting an F9F that was landing "wheels-up" on the adjacent runway. A shower of sparks and a lot of flying bits of metal later he spun out in a cloud of dirt ahead of us in the grass. Needless to say the pilot exited in one helluva hurry. Never did get to see the finished product as I was given orders to go to AN"P" school in Norman, Oklahoma the next week and bid a fond adieu. Good to see your message.

I was a WWII Merchant Marine veteran and was assigned to the QM gang based upon my previous training. One of my GQ stations was on the helm as well as during flight quarters. On the night before the ship was to depart Hampton Roads for the Med. Sea, I was the QMOW on the 20-24 quarterdeck watch. Consequently, I was on duty and saw one of our ship's liberty launches swamp while trying to make the gangway and sounded the alarm to the OOD. Next morning, everyone had to muster at quarters to see who was missing. I remained aboard for one year before transferring to a Key West based destroyer that my younger brother was on. I would like to contact any Ms that was on the ship at that time.

Two cruises - 52-53 & 55-56

Comments: I was "draft motivated" to join the Navy. After finishing college in January, I started teaching school at Sulfur, LA, but within two months I had to enlist to avoid being drafted. Went to boot camp at San Diego; went to Treasure Island to go to ET school, but was pulled to go to OCS and got commissioned in March 1952. Went to Kearsarge and served in CIC and A Division. Made the 52-53 Korean cruise and upon return to San Diego in March 1953 I went to flight training. First tour as a pilot was in a Banshee squadron (VF-141 flying the F2H-3)and we deployed aboard Kearsarge for the 55-56 WestPac cruise. That was the last time I was aboard Kearsarge. Learned a lot aboard Kearsarge. My Kearsarge time as an ensign let me learn a great deal about Essex class carriers, and that served me very well when I was ship's company in Intrepid as a LT and later when I was Exec of Hancock as a commander.

Ship's History - Korean War Service

Comments:

USS KEARSARGE (CVA-33)

“The Mighty Kay”

“...the carrier's planes flew nearly 6,000 sorties against Communist forces in North Korea...”

Displacement: 30,800 t. Length: 888' Beam: 93' Extreme Width: 136' Draft: 30'8" Speed: 33 k. Complement: 2,100 Armament: 12 5"; 2 3-pdrs.; 44 40mm; 36 20mm Class: Essex

Kearsarge recommissioned 15 February 1952, Captain Louis B. French in command. Following shakedown, the carrier cleared San Diego 11 August for intensive flight training in the Hawaiian Islands. Her readiness complete, she sailed for the Far East to engage in combat missions in the Korean War.

Arriving Yokosuka 8 September, Kearsarge joined the fast carrier Task Force 77 off the east coast of Korea 6 days later. For the next 5 months the carrier's planes flew nearly 6,000 sorties against Communist forces in North Korea, unleashing considerable damage on enemy positions. She completed her tour in late February 1953, returning to her homeport, San Diego 17 March. While serving in Korea her classification was changed to CVA 33.

Kearsarge sailed again for the Far East 1 July 1953 and operated with the 7th Fleet fast carrier force during the uneasy truce in Korea. The "Mighty Kay" also kept watch over the Formosa Straits to prevent the Communists from interfering with the Chinese Nationalists on Taiwan.

USS Kearsarge received two battle stars for Korean War service.
