MF - of s. l h PX! I , . y N' .Q K' l,000 FOR THE U.N. Friday, the 'l3th of February T953 was certainly not a dog's day for the Mighty Miss . On that day in our third winter in Korea, the Mispillion serviced her one thousandth ship since the beginning of the Korean conflict. The U.S.S. Twining IDD-5407, a veteran of two tours of Korean duty, had the honor of being number I,OOO . The crew of the Twining received favors of cigars, oranges, and apples for their part in the festive occasion. The mrssgqe Well done from our Captain had deep meaning for the many men who had spent three winters and twenty three out ot twenty nine months in Korean waters since the Mispillion first entered the United Nations action in September 1950. The following message from our Captain to the Commander of Task Force 77 summarized the occasion: WE HAVE TO REPORT THAT THE U.S.S. TWINING NOW ALONGSIDE OUR STAR- BOARD SIDE IS THE ONE THOUSANDTH SHIP RECEIVED SINCE ACTION IN KOREA BEGAN X ANTICIPATE NO DIFFICULTY IN SERVICING NEXT ONE THOUSAND AL- THOUGH WE SHALL HAVE TO RETURN TO PORT FROM TIME TO TIME TO GET MORE OIL X After completing operations with the Twining, signal flags called to the U.S.S. Uhlman to come alongside for replenishment, and the Mispillon crew continued to live up to their motto- IF WE GOT IT-YOU CAN HAVE lT.

The Mispillion received many letters and messages of appreciation and thanks for their part in the rescue operation, and in addition, a gift from the People of Kaoh- siung ofa flag bearing, in Chinese characters the words: BRAVERY THROUGH RIGHTEOUSNESS EXAMPLE TO ALL... Each of the swimmers received personalized sets of chopsticks in rememberance of their heroic efforts. The meritorious deeds performed in this operation greatly helped to streng- then the ties between us, the People of the United States, and our good friends and allies, the people of Nationalist Free China. The following are some of the many messages received: From: Com7thFlt To: USS Mispillion WELL DONE FOR PROMPT OPERATIONS X VADM CLARK SENDS BT . . . From: Commander Task Group 72.1 To: USS Mispillion FOLLOWING RECEIVED FROM MAYOR KAOHSIUNG QUOTE I EXTEND MY WARMEST THANKS TO YOU AND YOUR OFFICERS AND MEN WHOSE KIND- NESS AND BRAVE DEEDS TO OUR CITY CAN NEVER BE FORGOTTEN X SIGNED HSIEN TSEN-ZIANG BT...

Mi' United States Submarine Remora fn 4 , Q ,. t WT? -vf-V' 1 ,, f,,,QvL, , Vw 'V ,X Qwww ,QQ ,.',q:gg4's ' Nwywll 'Maw' lt isn't every day that one has the opportunity to fuel a submarine. Our day came when the Mispillion was in Okinawa and the SS Remora came alongside to drink some precious diesel oil to feed her engines. lt was old stuff to fuel huge ships like carriers, cruisers, and battle- ships, and also to fuel the small ones such as the de- stroyers, frigates, and small craft, but the refueling of such an oddity as a submarine was indeed a novel experience.
