On 27 April, 1953, the U.S.S. DORTCH (DD 670), a gen- eral purpose destroyer, steamed out of Newport harbor ' with a very definite purpose. Her eighteen officers and three hundred men were resolved to accomplish three things — to steam west- ward to North Korea and engage with the enemy there; to continue around the world and show our good will toward free people everywhere; and finally to return home, experienced and ready to steam out again whenever the occasion might arise. We accomplished what we set out to do. During the crucial months preceding the armistice -we operated off Korea as part of the famous Task Force 77. During the same period we en- tered Wonsan Harbor and delivered direct gunfire against enemy gun positions. Later after the armistice was signed we helped enforce its terms, operating off the western coast of Ko- rea. Then continuing around the world we made good friends in each of the ports we visited — Manila, Saigon, Singapore, Co- lombo, Cannes, and Lisbon. Finally we arrived in Philadelphia to be ready after normal overhaul to steam anywhere in the world again, guns firing if necessary. We accomplished what we set out to do, but we came home with more than just pride in accomplishment. We returned with a deep appreciation of what -we had left here at home and of the cause for which we had been fighting. During long hours of steaming -we had gained a new insight regarding the value of freedom and a deeper understanding of the struggle to preserve it. It is this appreciation, this insight, and this under- standing of which the following pages will always be a re- minder. C IC2
