Last Known Activity:


Commander John M. Leaver was assigned as a staff officer to Commander Cruiser Destroyer Group 7th Fleet. On May 8, 1972, he and Captain Edmund B. Taylor were passengers aboard a helicopter attempting to make a night landing on the fantail of the USS PROVIDENCE (CLG-6). The helicopter crashed and fell overboard.

Leaver and Taylor were both lost in the crash and their remains were never located. They are listed with honor among the missing because no remains were found.
