    McClusky

    70k Clarence Wade McClusky Jr. was born in Buffalo, N.Y. on 01 June 1902 and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1926, becoming a Naval Aviator three years later. Over the next decade, he served in air units and on command staffs, and as an instructor at the Naval Academy. In 1940 he was assigned to Fighting Squadron Six (VF-6) based on USS Enterprise (CV 6), assuming command of the squadron in April 1941. Lcdr McClusky became Enterprise air group commander in April 1942. During the Battle of Midway, while leading his air group's scout bombers on 4 June 1942, he made the critical tactical decision that led to the destruction of the Japanese aircraft carriers Kaga and Akagi, thus making a vital contribution to the outcome of that pivotal battle. Later in World War II, he commanded the escort carrier USS Corregidor (CVE 58). Later in the 1940’s Capt. McClusky served in a variety of staff and shore positions . During the Korean War, he was Chief of Staff to the Commanders of the First and Seventh Fleets. He commanded NAS Glenview, Ill. in 1952-53, and the Boston Group of the Atlantic Reserve Fleet in 1954-56. He retired from active duty in July 1956. At that time, in recognition of his vital contributions to the outcome of World War II, he was advanced to Flag rank. Rear Admiral McClusky died on 27 June 1976 and was laid to rest in the U.S. Naval Academy Cemetary at Annapolis, Md.

    USS McClusky (FFG 41) is the first ship named in his honor.

    Note About Contacts

    Contact information is compiled from various sources over a period of time and may, or may not, be correct. Every effort has been
    made to list the newest contact. However, our entry is only as good as the latest information that's been sent to us. We list only
    a contact for the ship if one has been sent to us. We do NOT have crew lists, rosters, or deck logs available. Please see the
    Frequently Asked Questions section on NavSource's Main Page for that information.
