| USS Franklin D Roosevelt_ Crew & Events Section |
Most of the images displayed here were collected when I was a Photographer's Mate in the US Navy from 1957-1961 and several have been donated by photographer shipmates
from their personal collections. I continue to seek out and add other images of ships and Naval Aircraft from that era.
I served first aboard the Aircraft Carrier USS Franklin D Roosevelt CVA-42, then with the Naval Support Activity Photo Lab in Naples, Italy and finally
with the Fleet Camera Party (Atlantic) in Norfolk, VA. I currently serve with honor as the Secretary of the FDR Reunion Association.
I have heard countless stories from my shipmates and other vets of their losing their photos, cruise books and all their other mementos of their time in service to divorces, flooded basements, forgotten seabags left in attics, accidents, tossed during garage cleaning....the list goes on. That's one of the reasons for this site, so that they might be reunited
with a memory or two. It gives me great personal pleasure to hear the stories of their reactions when they receive a photograph as a gift from a friend or family member.
All photographs on this website have been painstakingly digitally re-mastered and are printed on heavy matte lustre paper (high gloss available on request at no extra charge) using the latest in digital printing technology. They are perfect for framing in an office or den. If you or a loved one were aboard any of these ships, or served in any of the squadrons, and don't have pictures, here's your chance. What a gift they would make! Think of the memories that would be brought back!
If you wish to obtain copies of any of these images please email me at larry@usnavyphotos.com and let me know what you're interested in. I'll email you back with the total cost and how to pay. Please refer to the photos by name and the stock number shown in the parentheses i.e. (CR-01) or (VA12-02).
Orders paid with Money Orders or Cashier's Checks will ship within 48 hours. Other checks must clear. The following prices are far from being "commercial prices" as they barely
cover the expense to print and take them to the post office and considering the costs to maintain this website, this could certainly be considered a "non-profit venture".
11" x 14" available on request @ 11.00 ea.
13" x 19" available on request @ 21.00 ea.
USPS First Class Mail shipping for up to 4 - 8 ½" x 11" images per order = $3.35.
USPS Priority Mail Shipping for up to 12oz. of 8 ½" x 11" or larger images = $4.90.
Please let me know if you're looking for a particular photo that might not yet be posted

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you enjoy looking at my collection.
