Charles Lyle CV-37 1948

Comments:

Keywords: My name is Stephanie Lyle, i am Charles Lyle's Granddaughter. Unfortunatley my grandfather passed in 1983 and i was unable to meet him. Recently i found many pictures that my grandfather had of the U.S.S Princeton and Aircrafts, he has two names on the back of one picture that are hard to make out, but im giving it a shot, Caldwell and Doss? It is dated May 1948, I am interested in finding out what my grandfathers role was on the Princeton in 1948. I have been told he was part of radio transmition? Any information anyone may have about him I'd love to hear. Also if anyone would like some of the pictures i have i would love to share them, i also have a picture that includes 27 air/navy men if anyone would like to look over it and place names with the faces. Thank you so very much to all our men that served on the USS Princeton and all our Armed services.

My father served on board the Princeton

Comments: My father William Alfred Kane was called back into the service after the outbreak of conflict on the Korean peninsula. He was part of the shakedown cruise that rushed the USS Princeton out of mothballs at Bremerton WA., ferrying aircraft to Korea. This shakedown cruise I learned a few years ago was featured in a Saturday Evening Post article which I bought of off Ebay. My father worked in the boiler room from sometime in 1950 to 51. The famous picture of the 2 Banshees dumping fuel flying past the Princeton in the background before landing on deck was used in our local newspaper to announce his return to service. He captured many a landing and take off with his movie camera and shore leave time in Japan, which I have enjoyed watching over the years obviosuly in his off duty time. My father died at an early age in 1983. He also served onboard the heavy crusier USS Pensacola CA 24 in the Pacific theater joining the Navy following Pearl Harbor from 1942 to 1946. I am very proud of my dad wishing he had more openly talked his time in the Navy with me.

My Dad and my Uncle were on board in 1951

Comments: My dad J.C. Burt was on the Princeton from 1951 through 1953 I do beleive. He had these ship yearbooks that I remember when i was very young. He used to tell me all kinds of stories of things that went on while enlisted. He also had a 45 rpm record that he made with some other guys on the ship as he told me and the song was "That good ole'mountain dew". Does anyone remember that. I think he was a macinists mate. J.C. died in 2004.

My uncle was also on the ship his name was Lloyd Shoemake and I think he was a boatswains mate. This is how my dad met my mom from a picture my uncle had in his locker. He was killed in 1962 or 63 due to a work related accident here in Atlanta. He was also a big Triumph motorcycle enthusiast.

I miss them both greatly!

If you remember either of them let me know!

CV-37

Comments: Growing up in Chesterton, Indiana; in the early 1990's; I always took the time to listen to the old sailors talk about their ships. I add this submission to remember two of them. Dave Milosevich, served aboard in the 1950's twice, I believe he was aboard during the Korean War. Al McNeil, served at least one tour. I was there in their presents when they both learned that they were aboard the "Sweet P" at the same time. They recalled memories of the Regulas Missile firing on the forward flight deck, and being "sunk" by the USS Nautilus (SSN-571). Dave enjoyed razzing Al about being a "Sea Going Bellhop", who was proud of being the skippers guard. One day in Dave's office were he proudly hung a picture of the Princeton, Al gave him an old zippo lighter with the ship inscribed on the cover. Al McNeil passed away shortly after that (July 1994). They both were proud and honored to have served on the Princeton. Thank You.
