Comments: My grandfather served aboard USS Rendova during the Korean War. Not sure what his rate was, but would have most likely been a machinist's mate or something similar. His name was Billy Youmans, from DeWitt, IA. Sadly, he passed away from cancer in 1995. I'm interested in any information from anyone who may have served with him, especially if anyone might have pictures.

USS Rendova Reunion in Florida 2001 |

Roxanne Hitchcock wrote on 2002-04-30 10:42:12.0
Comments: My dad, Hoyt Roberson, served on the USS Rendova from 1948-(I am not sure when the world tour ended.
My dad attended the last 2 reunions with his shipmates. The last reunion was in Pensacola, Fl. in 2001. When my dad attended this reunion, he purchased a corkscrew willow cane. About 1 week after purchasing this cane, he had a stroke. This cane was such a blessing. Also my dad HAD a hat from these reunion's, and it had little pins on it , which had something to do with these reunions with his shipmates.
About 2 months ago, my dad went to visit my brother in Tucson, AZ. Upon getting off the plane, his hat flew away, and that was the end of the hat. Does anyone know if I can purchase one of these hats and replace it for my dad. He is still upset about losing the hat. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated on where I could obtain another hat. It was dark blue. Thanks again, Daughter of an American Veteran.

He was last seen crashing about 2 miles NW of P'ungch'on 12/6/51
flying a Crusader from the USS Rendova. The F80 crashed 11/5/50 so that
if the plane was identified on the ground it is probably not William.

Subject: USS Rendova (CVE-114)
I'm Rob Richey. I am a 11 1/2 year US Navy veteran - Radioman in the
nuclear submarine force.
I found your web posting via a search for the Rendova. My father served
aboard that carrier during Korea as an Aviation Ordanceman,(AO).
He was discharged at the end of his enlistment, from what I remember,
since he'd gone in at age 17 right out of high school the Navy Dept
was required to discharge him by age 21.
I could be wrong about this but, anyway, he was honorably discharged
with the rank of AO2. He went on to Wake Forest University and graduated
in June, 1963. I was a baby, in that I was born in November 1962 but, I
have two older sisters.
We have been looking for a USS Rendova site - a reunion site - we'd
like to know. We'd like to meet anyone who worked with our dad who
remembers him.
He DID make a VERY successful life for himself and all of us. He
fathered five successful children but, he died on June 24, 1988 at the
age of 53. As his children, we haven't had much success finding his old
US Navy buddies - as a long time US Navy veteran - myself - I WOULD like
to find some of them.
