Missing, but Never Forgotten
Hospital Corpsman Third Class Roy Gillman Fowler, USNR, was
assigned to the aircraft carrier USS CONSTELLATION
(CVA-64). On October 2, 1969, a C-2A TRADER cargo aircraft
was transferring crewmen from the Naval Air Station, Cubi Point,
Republic of the Philippines to the USS CONSTELLATION on
station in the Gulf of Tonkin. Petty Officer Fowler was a
passenger on the aircraft. The C-2A was inbound and in the hands
of the marshal air controller up to 1 0 nautical miles from the
ship when it went off the radar scopes. Helicopter search and
rescue was initiated from the ship. Although the helicopter crew
sighted an oil slick and debris, none of the bodies of the 26 crew
and passengers were found.
