				On December 15, 1998, Joint Task Force–Full Accounting (JTF-FA, 
				now DPAA) identified the remains of Lieutenant Junior Grade Carl 
				Louis Doughtie, missing from the Vietnam War.

				

				Lieutenant Junior Grade Doughtie entered the U.S. Navy from 
				North Carolina and was a member of Attack Squadron 25. On June 
				10, 1965, he piloted an A-1H Skyraider (bureau number 137521) 
				that took off from the USS Midway (CVA-41) on a strike mission 
				against the Co Dinh Power Plant in Thanh Hoa Province, North 
				Vietnam. While in the target area, the aircraft went into a dive 
				but failed to pull out of it and crashed, and LTJG Doughtie was 
				killed in the incident. The crash site was in enemy-controlled 
				territory and his body could not be recovered at the time. 
				In 1997, a joint investigative team recovered remains from the 
				crash sit, and U.S. analysts identified LTJG Doughtie from these 
				remains.

				

				Lieutenant Junior Grade Doughtie is memorialized on the Courts 
				of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the 
				Pacific.
