Ofn the bridge, the quartermaster entered in the ship's log, Tied up, starboard side to US-S Shields, San Diego, California . Officially, DesDiv l72's Korean cruise was over. However, it isn't human nature to write off-to forget as easily six months of watches, and powdered milk, of loading ammo, and listening to the five inch guns sound off for days at a time, of walking down muddy Japanese streets, and buy- ing souvenirs with sign language, or riding rickshaws, and trying to coax some heat out of a habachi pot. You remember for quite awhile how good that first taste of fresh milk was or, how good the warmth of Pearl Har- bor felt after Songjin, or, that it was a pretty dismal day as we stood under cover smoking a cigarette, wait- ing for a tug to take us alongside the Shields. The band on the pier was playing Roll 'Out The Barrel-we could barely hear the melody as we stood there watching it rain. But finally the tug came alongside and we headed in. As we approached the pier, the band struck up a new song, one we had never heard before and that black wiggling mass at the end of the pier became the fa- miliar faces of wives and Sweethearts-parents and friends. ln the excitement of seeing them standing and waving rain soaked handkerchiefs, welcoming us home with all their hearts, we forgot the rain and cold for once. But, for a brief moment before we did, it struck a note -someone mentioned Sasebo, someone else mentioned Yokosuka, another one of the fellas added-and don't forget August 20, the day we left the States. Who could?

More and more fellas started taking oft their shirts and soak- ing up the sun. Foul weather jackets were hung up, blues were put on the bot- tom ot lockers and whites were sent to the laundry so that they would be all ready for liberty . . . and finally, Hawaii became part of the horizon one morning. By noon, Diamond Head and Waikiki were on our bea-m-by three, we were tied up and the liberty party was champ- ing at the bit to get ashore to go swim- ming-to go sight seeing-to have a steak-to have a beer . . . and for the fellas that stay on board, there's the first mail call in days-and early liberty to- morrow. 22:2 awk-,-,-sex ,ERxR:,:S::,,::.1S,:.k.,-.-.- ..... - ....,., ....... , . ,...

That evening it was no longer pos- sible to walk on main deck be- cause of the heavy seas which were crashing over the sides. By the next morning, the cooks gave up trying to serve -meals in the mess hall and served a breakfast of sandwiches and coffee right out of the galley. We ran into Chief McCain on the bridge, hanging on tightly, because of the heavy rolls We were taking-and once more he repeated his prediction. That evening the ship rolled 50 de- grees. The next morning the rest of the ships in the division were invisible because of the mountainous seas and heavily flying mist. Once more the cooks served breakfast, dinner and supper out of the galley. BOY, DID You ,See 'rl-Ae BOW mv we-mn X : ,T Time? ,P 5, . A 'Q . 9- I If A .. Q ' -T ,, feivsgiziuf. Course, we took our share too. After supper, we saw the good Chief once more and he said that it looked like we were in for a bit of bad weather. The next morning, the skies had cleared and the seas were abat- ing. That night, after supper, we noticed that the heavy rolls had dipped the whaleboat in the water damaging it, that sev- eral heavy metal blower covers had been caved in, and that a couple of ammo boxes which had been welded to the deck on the fantail were missing. Hang on-this roll was a lulu. Page Twenty five l The Exec at the Conn- with an assist from the OIe Man . lf you have ever thrown a pebble in a pond and noticed how the ripples ran across the surface of the water, you have seen on a small scale how a storm affects the sea. So even though the sun was out warm and bright, we were lazily pitching and rolling thru a choppy, generously white capped sea when combat reported geography on the radar. Strangely, Japan is almost exactly as your mind had pictured it. The terraced mainland, as we steamed up the channel, looking from the dis- tance like a heap of dark green corduroy, the an- cient looking tugs and small craft with their en- gines gasping for air, leaving a trail of sooty black smoke rings in the air behind them as they vibrated downstream. The continually bobbing fishing boats with their single paddle astern being skulled on their way-the oarsman, as he skulls, reminding you an awful lot of the little man who, jerkily and furiously, cranks water out of a wooden well every time a gust of wind spins the propeller to which he he is attached.

After steaming inland for about an hour we passed the old Japa- nese forts and the breakwater, went on into the inner harbor and moored. That night, part of the crew pulled their first liberty in Yokosuka, Japan. Coming into the nest from the back way. Page Twenty-six A liberty boat view of the nest. A sailor ashore in a strange port by simply following the white hats in front of him soon finds where the gang hangs out. Using this tech- nique, we easily found the E. M. lEnlisted Men'sD Club and the shop- ping district of Yokosuka. After that it didn't take us long to learn a lot of other things such asp haggle for everything you buy except food and drink in a restaurant-Japanese beer is good and it comes in quart bottles -you'll freeze to death if you have to depend on a habachi pot to keep you warm. ln fact, some of the fellas even learned a little Japanese so that before the end of our four day stay we knew just where to go in Yoko- suka for whatever we wanted to get. As a result, after four days, every- one was broke and every nook and cranny of the ship was loaded with souvenirs. So maybe it's just as well that we left to join task,force 77. The Em Club.

Carriers - battlewagons - cruisers and destroyers-that's what Task Force 77 was made of. Of the whole, the carriers were the most perma- nent part. The cruisers and battle- wagons were constantly on the go, leaving for shore bombardment at Chongjin-Wonsan-or some other point along the North Korean coast -returning only to refuel and re- plenish. Destroyers would leave to provide fire support for the front line - for shore bombardment - to pick up a downed pilot rescued off Wonsan. Other destroyers would leave with the heavies to screen theam against possible submarine at- tack while carrying out short bom- bardment assignments. lf you stayed with the task force, your main job was to screen the carriers against air or submarine attack. Eleven days after joining the task force we received our first outside assignment.

After two weeks of duty on the Bombline we were relieved and ordered back to Task Force 77 to rejoin DesDiv l72 prior to re- turning to Yokosuka. ln two weeks of round the clock firing we had ex- pended over 3000 rounds of five inch ammunition which resulted' in 400 enemy casualties, and the de- struction of 4 gun positions, 6 build- ings, 2 mortar positions and many supply piles and bunkers.

In fact, there were only a few times when weather conditions were so bad that we couldn't keep our appointments with our floating grocery stores and filling stations.

We were screening to seaward of the New Jersey on November 5th while she lay off Hungnam firing at enemy installations. All day, she had been edging in so that by dusk the Jersey lay within range of the Korean shore batteries-they fired one round . . . it fell several hundred yards short. Immediately the New Jersey opened up, using rapid fire, with every gun that she could bring to bear on the target. How many hits were scored, we don't know. But it is doubtful that the Koreans used that particular gun again. lncidentally, that was the only shot that was fired anywhere near us the entire time we were in Korea.

The Jersey beating, the Big Drum. We were operating with the I New Jersey off Hungnam on November 3rd when an if American plane plunged out 7 of the sky, and into the sea, xl just barely missing the Jer- T sey's bow. Overhead, Ameri- can planes formed a protec- tive cover for the pilot, who had bailed out. We, and the . Jersey's helicopter, which was in the air spotting for gun fire, proceeded to make the rescue. The helicopter was hovering ov-er the spot by the time the pilot hit the water, and im- mediately lowered him a line. But because of the numbing action of the extremely cold water, he was unable to se- cure it. ln the meantime, our ship's boat reached the float- ing pilot, but was unable to tietam and the rest of D'esDiv l72. make the rescue because of an adverse wind and current -which kept moving him away from the boat. Sizing up the situation, the heli- copter pilot lowered his plane to within a few feet of the water, setting up a re- verse wind and current with his plane's whirring blades- floating the pilot right into his rescuer's arms. l 1 l i L li Our ship's boat goes to the aid of a downed And gets an assist in making the rescue from ' pilot . . . the Jersey's helicopter.

Page Thirty-four After being detached from the ASW group we proceeded to cut thru the Inland Sea and Shimonoseki Straits ra- ther than go around the southern tip of Japan. The Straits are like a very busy, wide river, so for just about everyone but the Navigator, who was busier than hell keeping us cut in, it was a good chance to get some close range pictures of those odd little Japa- nese boats, or the terraced countryside and row after row of tiny rice paper and wood houses jammed into as little space as possible. And on the left-houses. Mr. Jones and a pelorus. - Q i The OIe Man getting his tray loaded up with a Christmas dinner. The Captain and Mr. Crook pose for one more shot before diggin' in. On December 26th, in the midst of a blinding snow- storm, the task force was contacted by the crew of a T Navy patrol plane being forced down at sea about 20 miles south of the formationQ The Twining, Er- ben and Colahan were temporarily detached to 'search for, and rescue them. Arriving at the last known location of the plane, we had no sooner gone into a search formation when one of our lookouts spotted a flare on the horizon. Moving in the direction of the flare, all three ships began sweeping the water with their huge searchlights. However, the dense snow held visibility to a minimum. We were all getting ready to turn and try searching back when a flare burst about 1,000 yards off the Erben's bow, Since all three ships had their running lights, plus their searchlights and signal lights on, it was easy to watch the Erben edge forward thru the dark, choppy sea- with both hands in front of her as it were, so as not to miss anything in the dark. On our bridge, as we i watched, the silence was thick with hope. Finally, over the radio, came the message, We have the raft in sight. We are proceeding alongside to effect the YESCLIG. lt was l:30 in the morning when we went alongside the Antietam for fuel. However, after that sleepy re-introduction to Task Force 77, the daily routine settled down to a normal round of plane guard details, watches, turn to chow and sleep. Resigned to spend- ing the holidays at sea, crew members turned out Christmas decorations for the mess hall and other parts of the ship. Mail bags were laden with packages so that replenishment day, and mail call, posed a problem in stow- age as lockers began to overflow with cook- ies and the other things that the folks had sent. Several days before Christmas, the trees, which had been received by highline, were set up in the berthing compartments. Since decorations aren't normally stocked on a can , ornaments were devised from sal- vaged Christmas cards and wrappings, wash- ers, wrapped in the silver paper from cigar- ette packages, were strung to replace the tra- idtional cranberriesg tinsel was cut fom the larger sheets of silver paper that comes with pipe tobacco, cotton, begged or borrowed, from sick bay, turned up as snow at the base of trees. Christmas morning we were occupied with replenishment, but we were finished in plenty of time so the Captain and Exec could join us in the mess hall for turkey dinner with all the fixin's. After dinner, they toured the ship to determine which division had done the best job of tree decorating. I The Exec, Mr. Pettit, the Captain, the Bull -and a possible winner in the Christmas tree contest. Page Thirty-five The ringing ot the ship's bell at midnight on New Year's Eve also signaled the start of the March ot Dimes Campaign conducted by Task Force 77. When the cam- paign smoke had cleared away, and the final returns were all in, the Colahan's contribution ot Sl,O50.00, topped the list ot small boys , i.e., destroyers, etc., while the USS Wisconsin topped the list ot heavies -battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers.

The bus and driver that took us to Nagasaki. Sasebo is only fifty .miles from Na- gasaki, so why not charter a couple of busses for the crew. Quite a few of the fellas have said that they would like to see where they dropped the atom bomb. That sounded like a darn good idea, so the recreation committee chartered busses and drivers for Saturday and Sunday and started getting up a list of the fel- lows interested in going. The bus that met us on the pier must have been one of the company's finest. Outside, it was all silver and blue, inside, there were flowers in silver holders, green leatherette seats, and-dark blue, ball fringed curtains on the windows. As soon as we were all aboard, we began squeezing and honking our way thru the narrow streets of Sasebo. Without hitting anyone, or taking any of these delicate little houses off their foundations as we lum- bered down some particularly nar- row street, our driver fought us thru the traffic and out of Sasebo onto a hard dirt road-the main highway to Nagasaki. Once we had passed the level ground that the city was built on, the road started threading its way thru those steep, terraced hills that we had be- come so familiar with going in and out of Japanese ports. Every so often there would be a square, tile roofed house of rice paper and un- painted wood, with every square inch of ground around it cultivated, green, producing. Sometimes thru the bus'window, you would see a man-a woman, he, with his pants legs rolled up-she, with her kimona hitched up behind her, working bare- footed in the alfmost freezing weather in a flooded rice paddy. The road narrowed to one lane, we often had to stop and pull off the road to let someone pass, or, we would pass someone that had pulled off the road for us. About half way to Nagasaki we passed a construction gang working on a cut for a new road. As men with picks and shovels worked on the sides, smoothing them, women and children with scoop-shaped wicker baskets were loading small track mounted carts with the dirt which was accumulat- ing at the cut's base. And so it was with every turn, every mileewe saw more and more of these strange, backward ways' that we had heard, or read about, but being Americans had never quite believed to be true. panese house, be you in the city, or country. Page Th':'ty-seven 1 i The G-inrei--a Japanese restaurant with the decor of an old German tavern. Our stomachs said noon-our wrist watches said noon. Yet, the trip had only been 50 miles long. lt was true tho, it had taken us 4 hours to travel 50 miles. But, we were finally entering Naga- saki. We had reached the crest of the mountains about l l 230-Ever since we had been slowly dropping down, down into the valley that holds the city. On both sides of the bus, buildings jutted out of the hillside, below us we could see streetcars and paved streets. Our guide explained-this part of the city had not been touched by the bomb. We stopped for lunch in a little Japanese restaurant, deco- rated like an old German tavern. After lunch, our guide told us that before going to the site of the A Bomb damage he would like to show us an old temple that overlooked the city. Going from the restaurant to the temple, Na- gasaki looked like any other Japa- nese city with its narrow streets crowded with people in a mixture of western and oriental dress. Its little shops with their shelves of candy jars filled with dark, leath- Left Page Thirty-eight ery looking dried sea horse and shrimp, next to boxes of Hershey bars and Wrigley's gum.

All around the com- pound that held the main buildings were gardens ot colorful Japanese bushes, shrubs and trees. The main buildings of the temple were of stone darkened by time and wood lustrous from years of polishing. The main room was decorated with brilliant red, green and gold drapes, the polished floor was covered with pale yellow reed mats. ln the center was a kneeler. lt was a quiet, serene scene, yet, you felt the air of de- sertion as you looked around the buildings. Even the Japanese people that were there seemed to have come as spectators-coming as you, to view what had been. Hastings: l wonder it I should take a picture of that.

Page Forty One minute we were riding smoothly on a paved street, the next, we were bounc- ing and lurching over a pitted, deeply rutted dirt roadway. Thru the window we could see large chunks of broken con- crete mixed with the dirt. There had been a paved street here, but it had been ripped out and left in- pieces, which time and traffic had ground into the dirt. we noticed that the unpainted wooden buildings weren't so weathered, and that the signs on the stores were newer, fresh- er. Across the street, twisted and broken steel girders formed the rusty skeleton of what had been a mill or factory. lts peaked roof, a sagging jumbled network of broken steel fingers, pointing crazily at the sky. We learned later that this had been a steel mill. Now, there were no buildings at all. Only acres of raw, brown, naked -earth. Off to one side, in the distance, we could see two concrete smorkestacks, one straight and rigid, the other brokenly bent in the m-iddle. Our bus pulled into what would' so-me day be a park. Right now the trees were still saplings, the grass still bore the faint outlines of having been sod. The drive formed a tan circle of gravel around a low mound which was having trouble supporting a patch of grass and a few bushes. From it rose a painted white wood shaft in- scribed in black with Japanese characters. We stopped in front of a sign written in both American and Japanese . . On 9 August i945 at ll:OO A.M. an Atomic Bomb ex- ploded in the air just above here. Across the drive, tucked in a grove of saplings was a white hexagonal building, The Museum of the Atomic Bomb . lnside, there were pictures taken a day or so after the bomb had exploded showing the complete de- struction of those acres of bare earth we had seen. ln show cases which covered the walls there was mute evi- dence of the intense heat of the bomb. A coke bottle melted flat - pieces of glass and stone fused together -a shoe which had partially sunk into a heat softened chunk of concrete: there were watches and cloc-ks stoppgl at ll:OO and clothes heat bleached of their color. Our next stop was at the base of the hill which once had held the largest Catholic church in the Far East. All that was left now was a goodly portion of the bell tower and a section of a side wall. As we climbed the hill to have a look, children ran down to greet us, at the top, chil- dren were everywhere. Running, spinning tops, jumping rope, playing ball between the remains of the old church and the temporary frame school and church that had been put up to one side. lt sort of struck us as being one of those nice satires which nature does so well.

A West- ern style home, with door knobs and hinged doors, rather than the latches and sliding panels of a Japanese home, it com- manded a view of Nagasaki Bay so that she could watch for the ship of her American lover. A watch, which later became fa- mous in the opera, Madame Butterfly . From the hofme of Madame Butterfly, we returned to the little German-Japanese restau- rant, in which we 'had eaten lunch, for supper.

Speculation and rumor, along with loading stores and taking on fuel, make up the biggest part of your last days in port. There's always that big question, where are we go- ing this time? Task Force 77? Most likely, with that trick gyro of ours. They might send us to the Bombline -or, to, Wonsan. And, as it al- ways happens, a day or two before you leave, the orders come thru- and the news filters thru the crew. Didja hear? We're going to Song- jin. Da Shields is going to-the Bomb- line-anda Twining ta NNonsan. Songjin? Yeah, it's just like da Bombline-only further north. ln- stead of supportin' troops on the front line, we'll be shootin' up the supply lines behin' da front. Way behind da front, the-re's only about lOO miles between Songjin and Russia. As it seemed to whenever we left, or entered port, the morning of our departure was gray, dismal-mist- ing, chill. The sun was just edging over the mountains as DesDiv l72 slowly moved out of the harbor, and headed back to Korea. Heading up the coast, we could feel the tem- perature backing slowly down the rungs of the thermometer. Felt lined caps and watch caps were broken out -White hats disappeared into lock- ers. Long underwear started being distributed with the laundry and gloves dangled out of jacket pock- ets. This was going to be a cold trip. Thank God, it's our last one.

Of course, we had more help here than on the bombline, but the area we had to cover was larger, so it came out about equal. By day, we patrolled the area scat- tering occasional parties of rail- road repairmen with five inch shells. And just to rnake sure that the fellows who worked when our backs were turned, would have more than enough to do: as we headed the other way, we kept putting new cuts in the rails. Possibly too, ln- telligence had given us the lo- cation ofa new factory, or some s u p p l y bunkers - then we would lay off and disrupt pro- duction, or create a shortage of supply. By night, our biggest job was patroling the area keep- ing an eye peeled for trains try- 5 Mount 53 cuts loose with one bale of hay.

It looked like the Navy was doing just that. ln a few months, the ship was going into the yards for a face lifting-the past few weeks had seen a large portion of the crew replaced and now-Commander Wil- liam K. Brooks was replacing Commander Gale S. Felton, as Captain of the Colahan. lt was a short ceremony. Before an assembly of the ship's crew and officers Commander Fel- ton read his orders, which sent him to the Bureau of Naval Personnel. Then, Commander Brooks read his orders to take command of the Colahan. Thus ends our story. The Change of Command Ceremony marks the beginning of a new story about new men and of- ficers-a story which we cannot tell you, because it has not as yet been lived. .:Co1mirniander Brooks reading his orders to take command of the Colahan.
