Bodell Will Speak On Carrier Wasp Sinking

Experiences related to the sinking of the United States aircraft carrier Wasp will be the theme of a confidential talk to the Caisson Club of the R.O.T.C. by Naval Lieutenant Joseph J. Bodell '41 tonight at 8 o'clock. The meeting place has not yet been decided.

In describing the Wasp disaster Lieutenant Bodell will describe many practical aspects of the military operations in the South Pacific which would be of interest to the military science students of the Caisson Club.

Though the Lieutenant was unable to give information concerning the ill-fated aircraft carrier in a preview for his talk, he said he would promise not to "put in too much Navy, since he was talking to the Army."

Lieutenant Bodell, who was commissioned through the Harvard Naval R.O.T.C., served on the Wasp from September 18, 1941 until it was sunk by submarines last September.
