From the 1967 West Pac Cruise Book:
In Memoriam
The Western Pacific-Veitnam Cruise Book is dedicated to Chief Petty Officer Carlos G. Studabaker. Chief Studabaker died as a result of a heart attack on 6 Dec, 1967. He is survived by his wife and five children, living in White Pidgeon, Michigan and his father living in Constantine, Michigan. The chief had served 20 years in the navy and was due to retire in April of 1968. He was an excellent fire control technician, extremely competent in his field, and the New's performance in her gunfire support missions for friendly troops in South Veitnam relied heavily upon his skills. He was an effective leader who was genuinely admired and respected by the men who worked with him and for him. His absence is felt by all the officers and men aboard the New.
