AULT was recommissioned later that same year to participate in the Korean War. Returning once again to the Atlantic Fleet, on one of her deployments, she became one of the first U.S. war- ships to sail into the Black Sea. When the middle east crisis broke out, AULT was assigned to patrol off the coast of Lebanon. In 1962, AULT received an intensive FRAM II overhaul and be- came the first destroyer with DASH to deploy to the Mediterranean. In late 1964 and early 1965, AULT joined other units of the Atlantic Fleet as a possible recovery ship in the manned space- flights, Gemini I and Gemini II. In May 1965, AULT deployed for a four-month tour of the Medi- terranean and added glory to her already glorious record by winning three Gunnery ' ' E awards, the Weapons ' ' E award, the Operations E award, and the much coveted squadron Battle Efficiency Award.
