I certainly am enjoying your USS Bennington site.
I just recently began researching my dad's time in the Navy and his service aboard the Bennington.

Here is a picture of my dad and his Bennington service info.

Vernon LeRoy Metz
Fire Controlman, 2nd Class, V-6, USNR
Aboard USS Bennington 1944 - 1945
Was on the Bennington's shakedown cruise.
Separation from Navy PSC NOB TI San Pedro, California, 1 December 1945, two days before his 26th birthday.

Dad died 30 November 1998, exactly 43 years after his last day on the USS Bennington.
