HISTORY 0F THE SHIP The USS HERBERT J. THOMAS was launched aT BaTh, Maine, in March 1945, and commissioned aT BosTon, Massachu- seTTs, in May of The same year. She is named for Sergeanf HerberT J. Thomas, USMCR, of The Third Marine Division, who was killed during The amphibious assaulT on Bougainville in 1942. He losT his life when he Threw himself on a live hand grenade To save his comrades. He was awarded The Congressional Medal of Honor, posThumously, for his acT of heroism. Alfhough The HERBERT J. THOMAS parTicipaTed in no World War Il acTion, she has seen considerable service since her commissioning daTe and has lived up To every TradiTion of The Greyhounds of The Sea, The DesTroyer Navy. As a uniT of The occupafion forces of Japan and Korea immediaTely afTer The TerminaTion of World War Il hosTiliTies, she efficienfly carried ouT her iniTial imporTanT operaTional assignmenf. AfTer This firsT mission in The VVesTern Pacific The THOMAS was Transferred To duTy wiTh The ATlanTic FleeT, and during 1948, 1949, and 1950 parTicipaTed in Training cruises To The MediTerranean wiTh The U.S. SIXTH FLEET. AT The ouTseT of The Korean War, The THOMAS was in CarThagean, Colombia, on a goodwill Tour of SouTh America. This assignmenf was immediaTely inTerrupTed, however, wiTh The orders To proceed immediaTely To The SEVENTH FLEET for duTy in Far Easfern waTers. IT was during This Tour ThaT The ship firsT parTicipaTed in combaT acTion. Shore fire bombardmenf, rescue of downed UniTed NaTions aviafors, and Korea coasT paTrols were among The dufies per- formed. IT was noT unTil January, 1951, ThaT The THOMAS was relieved of her responsibiliTies in Korea, and headed home To her home porT of ThaT period, San Diego. She had noT seen her lasT of Korean acTion, however, as her Two nexT cruises broughT assignmenfs very much The same as Those fulfilled during The lasT half of 1950. May 13, 1953, marked The daTe of The final parTicipaTion of The THOMAS wiTh The UniTed NaTions Forces in The Korean Oufbreak. During The war, she served wiTh The baTTle efficiency ThaT has always characTerized her a proud and spiriTed ship. - I Through all her campaigns only one enemy hif was received, This being a counier-baTTery shof which scored on The main deck. FoiTunaTelv, no personnel and only slighT maTerial damages resulfed. Three more cruises To The VVesTern Pacific infervened in 19511, 1955, and 1956 and on AugusT 31, 1957, The THOMAS commenced The mosT currenf of These cruises. FirsT porT of call was Pearl Harbor in The TerriTory of Hawaii. The crew enjoyed a sevenfy-Two hour weekend aT This island prior To seTTing off for poinfs in The SouThern Hemisphere and Brisbane AusTralia, in parTicular. The crossing of The EguaTor and The iniTiaTion of all pollywogs as shellbacks was The special ceremony of This occasion. RegulaTion haircuTs, a banguef, and bapTism in The royal baThTub were included in The fesTiviTies. Two days afTer King lXlepTune ruled mighTy and supreme aT The EguaTor, The THOMAS sailed inTo The calm and serene harbor of Pago Pago, American Samoa. A Trip To a naTive village and The Polynesian dancing exhibiTion presenTed by The svelTe and graceful children oT This colony were enjoyed by all hands. A day laTer, The lasT leg of The iourney To AusTralia was sTarTed. On SepTember 23, The Three ships of DesTroyer Division 232 which made The cruise arrived in Brisbane. ParTies and general good Times were afforded The officers and crew Through The sincere hospiTaliTy of our lovely Ausfralian friends. This phase of The 1957-1958 VVesTern Pacific Cruise was definiTely The highlighf of The overseas Trip along wiTh The ciTy of Hong Kong, Brifish Crown Colony. The ship was The guesT oT This splendid island in The laTTer parT oT January 1958. CDperaTional commiTmenTs nafurally occupied The greaTesT porTion of The cruise and Two weeks of Task group acTiviTies wiTh The modern aTTack carrier, USS KEARSARGE, evolved as The mosT demanding. Taiwan PaTrol for The lasT Two weeks of December and The firsT Two weeks of January found The ship aT sea The greaTesT porTion of The Time on The norfhern sTaTion, Chrisfmas was spenT underway, buT New Year's eve in porT and a wonderful dedicaTion of 1958 by Cardinal Spellman on This occasion proved meaningful To The enfire ship's company. OTher memorable evenfs of The lasT cruise were close scrapes wiTh four Typhoons, one ouTside of Guam, Mariana Islands, on The leg norTh To Japan from AusTralia and anofher causing The evacuaTion of Subic Bay in OcTober being The mosT aggravaTing.
