| 90k | Forrest Percival Sherman, born 30 October 1896 in Merrimack, N.H., was a member of the Naval Academy class of 1917. A naval aviator from 1922, his peacetime service included aviation, surface, and staff assignments. Commanding Wasp (CV-7) when she was sunk by a Japanese submarine 15 September 1942, he was awarded the Navy Cross for his extraordinary heroism in command of the carrier during the opening days of the south Pacific operations. Assigned to Admiral Nimitz's staff he became a stellar member of that effective organization. After the war he filled a key position in the Navy Department and then went to command U.S. Naval Forces Mediterranean (later 6th Task Fleet). From 2 November 1949 until his death in Naples, Italy, 22 July 1951, Admiral Sherman was Chief of Naval Operations. Photo #: 80-G-16543. Captain Forrest P. Sherman, USN, former Commanding Officer of USS Wasp (CV-7), describes the loss of Wasp, which was torpedoed on 15 September 1942, during an interview at Pearl Harbor, circa October-December 1942.

Williams (MT2 USS Boston 1961-1964); "Picture of Forest Sherman with Boston was not from 1965/66. It had to be before Boston's yard overhaul in 1960. Boston's Missile guidance directors were replaced during that overhaul period from the Mk 25 Mod 7 to the SPQ-5. Picture shows MK 25 Mod 7 which were removed at that time (1960)." | Roy Anderson | |
