c iye t t 69r After the war, the SPERRY was inactivated at Boston for a short time and then sent to New Orleans, Louisiana, to assist in training reserve personnel. In July 1950, she was ordered to Norfolk, Virginia, to join Destroyer Squadron SIXTEEN. On 6 September 1950, she, with the other ships of the Squadron, left Norfolk on a high-speed run for Korea. The Squadron ar- rived in Yokosuka, Japan, on 6 October and left almost immediately for the Korean coast. From October to March the SPERRY was a part of every operation against the Reds. During this period she was 84 days out of port in an underway status. The SPERRY parti- cipated in operations at Wonsam and Song ' jin. It was at Song ' jin on 23 December 1950 that the SPERRY was hit by three three-inch shells while reconnoitering the harbor. The SPERRY fired over eighty thousand rounds of five inch ammunition into enemy territory, destroyed two towns, blew up an ammunition dump, destroy- ed three enemy batteries with three more probables, and scattered numerous enemy troops.
