Lieutenant Charlie was a nurse who made a single appearance in the Season 3 episode "Bulletin Board". Like Nurse Able and Nurse Baker, the name "Charlie" is taken from the military phonetic alphabet, in this case for the letter "C". These labels were used as generic names for minor nurse characters in the MASH TV series. However, unlike Able and Baker, the name Charlie was used only once. The role of Nurse Charlie was played by prolific recurring cast member Kellye Nakahara. She had earlier appeared as Lieutenant Kellye Yamato and the first of the many Nurse Ables.
