NEW YORK TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, had accounted for two bunkers de- stroyed and six damaged. At Wonaan the destroyer U. S. S. Chauncey scored two direct hits on a truck convoy, while the destroyer U. S. S. Mackenzie dispersed troops working on power lines. The Mac- kenzie received approximately f rounds from enemy shor- ' but no hits or dfl ' Th. •-- We chased submarines for ten days, and then the big one . . . Task Force 95 and WONSAN, For more than two years news clippings like the one above had chronicled the Navy ' s grudge fight in Wonsan liarbor. Even though it was the enemy ' s most strong- ly defended port we were not about to con- ceed the harbor to the Reds. To emphasize our determination we poured 1200 rounds of five inch ammun- tion into his gun caves. We ripped his supply centers, disrupted his truck convoys and raised hell with his marshalling yards. One of our prime missions in the beleagured harbor was to help United Nations ' airmen who ran afoul of Commie guns. Eight times the Mac ' s team in CiC directed the rescue of flyboys who had to ditch their planes or who ran into less serious trouble. But with it all we found time to extend the hand of friendship to those who shared the harbor with us. To the ROK marines on the islands we sent gifts of soap and candy. To those wonderful children on Yodo who learned to live with exploding Communist shells we carried 1000 pounds of clothing from the children of Whitefish Bay, Wisconsin.
