Final Mission of LT John J. Parker

LT John J. Parker was a U.S. Navy pilot serving with Attack Squadron 86 (VA-86), Attack Carrier Air Wing 15 (CVW-15) aboard the aircraft carrier USS Coral Sea (CV-43). At approximately 4:45 AM on March 4, 1970, the Coral Sea was conducting flight operations in the South China Sea off the coast of Vietnam when LT Parker launched off the carrier in an A-7A Corsair (#153136). Following takeoff, Parker’s jet was observed to impact the water approximately two miles ahead of the ship where it sank in 250 feet of water. A search for Parker commenced immediately utilizing a rescue helicopter and the destroyer USS Fechteler (DD-870). Search and rescue personnel were unable to locate Parker and ceased efforts after 3½ hours, at which time the missing pilot was presumed dead.
