WWII Pictures of Lexington Crew member

[jdmcomp]

While sorting through my father in laws WWII items I came across a locket which was not him or his wife. He was a Marine sent to the Pacific theater. I am trying to locate anyone who might know who this person might be. Pictures are attached.

 

The sailors name is Charlie Long and it states USS Lexington Long Beach. I suspect that this is the CV2 version which sank in 1942. The locket has no value to our family but might to the family of Charlie Long. My FIL was injured and with the items found were NZ medical corp insignia. I suspect that he may have met CL in the hospital in NZ while both were recovering there. Any suggestions for additional locations to post to would be welcome.
