Casualty at Sea
BM1 Larry J. Young was a Boatswain Mate serving aboard the supercarrier USS America (CV-66). During the summer of 1972, America was on her third deployment to Vietnam, commencing combat operations July 12th. Its tenure would be brief, as a ruptured main feed pump prompted its departure to Naval Base Subic Bay in the Philippines for repairs. On July 20, 1972, before leaving operations at Yankee Station in the South China Sea offshore of the Republic of Vietnam, the Navy announced that Young had expired from a sudden illness. He reportedly succumbed to cardiopulmonary arrest caused by fulminant (sudden) acute bilateral (double) lobar pneumonia. Lobar pneumonia is a type of pneumonia characterized by the infection and inflammation of one or more lobes of the lung. It is typically caused by bacteria, most commonly Streptococcus pneumoniae. Young was 26 years old. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
