USS Boxer (CV-21)


"Scouts Scout Boxer -- The aircraft carrier USS Boxer, resting after combat duty off Korea, was visited by Washington Heights Boy Scouts from Tokyo while the ship lay tied up at Yokosuka harbor. The scouts ranged from very small to large, but they all enjoyed themselves. Here, trooped around Robert Fine, Seaman, USN ..., are (l to r) scouts Stanley Russell, Philip Conway, Louis Larson, Bernard Freeman, and Raymond Gay examining the Corsair fighter planes on the Boxer's flight deck. After a thorough tour of the ship the scouts were served ice cream and cookies in the wardroom."
Photograph and caption were released by Commander Naval Forces, Far East, under date of 29 July 1952.
