' dfxg X zgerf' AV- fx - Our first combat assignment came soon after our arrival in the Far East - Wonsan, one of the most dreaded enemy ports of the Korean War. For some of the crew it was no new experience to steam into the heavily armed enemy port, but for others, this was their first exposure to com- bat. As the days went slowly by, the inaction of enemy guns was welcome but every mind remained constantly alert to react to the words Counter- battery . It was a comforting sight to every man aboard to see the battle- ship New Jersey pull in with her big guns and bombard the beachg but total relief could only come when Wonsan Harbor was miles behind and our course was set again for Sasebo.

The Army and Air Force installations on the island offered a good meal and drinks, but in the extremely hot weather most of us ended up swimming at the beach. After rendezousing with the USS POINT CRUZ, and four other de- stroyers, we commenced our week long Hunter-Killer Exercise, enroute to Yokosuka. 32
