Carleton Thayer Fogg was born on 19 August 1917 and raised in Lynn, Mass.. He graduated from the North Yarmouth Academy, attended the University of Maine, and enlisted in the Naval Reserve on 6 October 1937. After taking flight training at Squantum, Mass. and Pensacola, Fla., he was appointed ensign 1 January 1939. Fogg flew with scout - bomber squadrons in Saratoga (CV 3) and Wasp (CV 7) before joining Scouting Squadron Six in Enterprise (CV 6) in September 1939. Now a regular officer, Lieutenant (junior grade) Fogg was killed in action in the initial attack on Kwajalein, 1 February 1942. He was awarded the Air Medal posthumously for his gallant conduct in the face of heavy enemy opposition.
USS Fogg (DE 57) (1943-1947) was the first ship to be named in his honor. |

12 May 1945: off Boston, Mass. - A port quarter view of Fogg taken near the Boston Navy Yard. She has many interesting late war modifications. Lots of 40-mm plus a gun director on a tower. This was a very unusual refit. The ship was badly damaged by a torpedo and arrived at the Boston Yard on 9 March. The hull from Frame 115 aft was replaced. The 3-in. battery was replaced by 5-in. guns, one of those very few ships to get this alteration.
