N.Y. Times, Aug. 30, 1972
LAKEHURST, N.J. Aug. 29 (AP)--Three Navy fliers were lost at sea when their helicopter exploded on approach to an aircraft carrier, the Navy announced today.
The men were identified as Lieut. David Williams, 27 years old, of Lakewood, the pilot; Lieut. j.g. Denneth A. Skogrand, 25, co-pilot, and Petty Officer Alfred G. Stymiest, 28, a crewman. Lieutenant Skogrand and Petty Officer Stymiest were from Lakehurst.
The Navy said the helicopter sank yesterday in the Mediterranean area, near the coast of Spain, after one of the two engines exploded while the craft approached the aircraft carrier Bowen.
The helicopter was assigned to an antisubmarine squadron at Lakehurst Naval Air Station.
