Product Description
USS Randolph (CV-15) was one of 24 Essex class fleet carriers built by the US Navy during and immediately after WWII. The ship entered service in October 1944, serving in the Pacific Theatre with TF 58.1, participating in the Iwo Jima campaign before being hit by a Tokko aircraft. The damage was assessed to be too great for the facilities in Pearl Harbour to manage, however the ship was patched at sea with the help of the repair ship USS Jason. In less than a month the carrier was returned to operational status.
Randolph was then able to take part in the Okinawa campaign and other active operations until the surrender of Japan. After Operation Magic Carpet, Randolph was reclassified as a training ship in 1946 but put out of commission only two years later. In 1951 the carrier was put back into service and thoroughly modernized following SCB-27A reconstruction to operate jet aircraft; following deployment in the Mediterranean for NATO exercises, the ship entered dock once again in 1955 for installation of an angled flight deck and undergo SCB-125 modernization. Back at sea in 1956, Randolph was reclassified as CVS (anti-submarine warfare carrier) three years later, to which yet another modernization followed, this time SCB-144.
In July 1951 she was the recovery ship for astronaut Virgil Grissom, who had just conducted US' second manned space flight.
In 1968 Randolph was deactivated for the last time and put in Philadelphia Naval Shipyard. The ship was sold for scrap in 1975.
