Garland, I was thre too, V-3 Div, I too am suffering from PTSD and tomorrow will be 61. I will never forget fearring for my very life. I hid in my bunk in my compartment. I prayed that no one would look there. I have since been trying to prove that I was aboard the Kitty Hawk with no luck. Do you know how I can find documentation of the ships crew?
I have the Cruise Book and looked up V-3 Division. There is an ABH-1 J. Richardson pictured (page 268) if that helps.
