muddyboots Posted November 25, 2015 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2015 I picked this one up from eBay this past weekend and I just couldn't let it go. He was a AMM3/c on the Hornet from the shakedown cruise till she was sunk at the battle of Santa Cruz Islands. I can't seem to find any muster rolls for the Hornet. I do know from his Pennsylvania veterans compensation application he was on the Hornet from 1/15/1942 to 10/26/1942. I can't wait to order his file.

KASTAUFFER Posted November 26, 2015 Share #2 Posted November 26, 2015 He was on the USS Hornet when it was sunk. Here is a muster roll of survivors on the USS San Diego after they received survivors from the USS Hughes. Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddyboots Posted November 26, 2015 Author Share #5 Posted November 26, 2015 Thanks KASTAUFFER. I seen the muster roll for the San Diego but missed the scouting squadron. I wonder if he every flew. Sometimes AMM3/c personnel flew as gunners on missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
