Casualty at Sea

SA Kenneth W. Barslow was a Seaman Apprentice serving on the aircraft carrier USS Kearsarge (CV-33). On January 12, 1968, the Kearsarge was underway in the South China Sea, approximately 59 kilometers (35.4 miles) northeast of Cape Mui Ron, when at 4:42 PM a man was observed overboard. The ships’ engines were stopped, and the destroyer USS Walke (DD-723) was dispatched to the scene. At 5:22 PM, a helicopter was launched from the Kearsarge to assist in the search for the lost man who had been identified as Barslow. At 5:30 PM, another destroyer, the USS Blue (DD-744), was also sent to the scene to continue the search with the assistance of the helicopter. Barslow was presumed drowned in the incident. His body was not recovered. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and information provided by Deborah DeRanieri (October 2017)]
