I am trying to find out anything and everything I can about my father's Naval history. All I know is he served aboard the USS Kitty Hawk in the early 70's. Pre 73 at least. My dad's name was Philip Jay Carlton Jr. He lived in Morgan Hill, CA and was stationed out of San Diego. He passed away 10 years ago. All his records, medals, flag etc were lost in the Camp Fire of Northern California.
