GUNSTON HALL {LSD-5), a 10,000 ton landing Ship Dock, was built by the Moore Dry-dock Company, Oak- land, California, and was commissioned on November 10th, 1943. ' The Gunston Hall was named after the home of George Mason (1725-1792), who was a statesman of Virginia during the Revolutionary War. He was born in Fairfax County, where his family had extensive land holdings and where he later built Gunston Hall. Shortly after her launching, the Gunston Hall commenced her shake-down training, and was soon ready for her first as- signment. After three years of service with the Pacific Fleet she was de-commissioned at San Diego, California, in 1946. In 1949 the Gunston Hall was recommissioned at the Naval Shipyard, Bremerton, Washington. Taking her place once again with the Pacific Fleet Amphibious Force, she took part in Operation Miki, large scale landing operation at the Hawaiian Islands. The outbreak of the Korean War sent the Gunston Hall to the Far East in August, 1950, for her first Korean assignment. She took part in the historic Inchon and Wonsan Landings, and conducted minesweeping operations off the coast of North- ern Korea. Early February, 1951, the Gunston Hall arrived in San Diego after successfully completing her first tour in Korea. After a dry dock period at Bremerton, she returned to the Far East for her third tour in early 1953. This brought to her credit a total of twenty-six months in the Far East since the outbreak of the conflict. CAPTAIN H. M. LINDSAY. JR., USN Captain HARRY M. LINDSAY, Jr., is the present Commanding Officer of U. S. S. GUNSTON HALL (LSD-5). His present and permanent address is 3904 University Way, Seattle, Washington.

The Quartermasters translate those bits of colored cloth flying from the halyards or the flashing light we often see blinking from other ships. They also keep the navigational charts up to snuff . . . and act as assistant to the Navigator and officer of the deck. . . The Radiomen make English out of dits and dahs and dahs and dits out of our English. Through them we learn where we are going and what we will do. Our Bosses learn that we have arrived and have done as they told us . . . The Radarmen . . . the eyes of our ship Through them the OOD scans the air and sea. At night or during bad weather they are the eyes which see through the darkness or storm; they keep us on station . . . And last, but by all means not least, are the Yeo- men. They handle the office work, be it liberty, leave discharge or transfer the Yeomen know what to do . . . These specialists form the C division . . . Well Kiesil smiled, anywav. tt. k f A B H l H K K.

A day that sends men to the golf links, women to their gard- ens, kids to the ball lot before breakfast. The kind that makes a man smile, a boy whistle, a cow lazy, and every living thing breathe. Boy! What a day! It was Saturday, February 21, 1953. A day with a special meaning for the men on the GUNSTON HALL. They were a quiet group of men that stood at quarters at 0915 when the ship slipped slow- ly away from the North Island dock and edged out into the stream. No noise, no more kid- ding, no half-hearted jokes. Just quiet. Faces on the dock were fast becoming blurs. Hands no longer waved. The goodbyes were over. Now the Ensign flap- ped steadily in the wind, the propellers churned, and Berth Mike was blending into the rest of the skyline. On the bridge the quartermas- ter bent over his log. Under- way en route San Diego, Cali- fornia, to Yokosuka, Japan. Steering various courses and speeds to conform with the channel. Captain has the conn. Navigator on the bridge. And then he looked up. And the crew did too. We stood si- lently and watched the ship leave the familiar land marks behind us. Steaming smoothly through the water we passed Shelter Island, Ballast Point, Coronado Roads, and finally Point Loma. And at 1030 we set a course of 260 and headed out into open sea for Yokosuka, 7000 miles away. THE BLUE PACIFIC WAS NOT SO BLUE Towards the end of the second day at sea, old timers nodded toward the thin, grey bank of clouds that stretched across the western hor- izon and predicted rough weather ahead. And they were right. The following morning brought rain, lashing wind, and green seas. Almost immediately the ship began to roll. In the galley, pots and pans clattered, cooks slipped, and milk and coffee flowed freely from one end of the compartment to the other. Elswhere men toppled from their bunks, clung frantically to ladders, leaped for falling pic- tures and ink bottles, despondently munched crackers, and swore. And each time we were certain the last roll had been the biggest roll yet. Somewhere about six days out of Yokosuka, the wind subsided, the sea flattened out, and everyone settled down to normal eating and learning to walk again without the aid of a hand rail. However, we soon discovered how unpredictable the Pacific can be. We entered a storm area two days later that surpassed in ev- ery way our first encounter with heavy seas. Some still insist the clinometer registered 43 de- grees on one roll and few of us will bother to deny it. When the GUNSTON HALL finally steamed into the calm, protecting waters of Yokosuka Harbor, and the anchor settled firmly on the bottom of the bay, it was a great relief to all hands. It had been a long journey. And as ample reward most of us turned in for some good sleep. 30 BUT WE HAD OUR HAPPY HOURS 31 K The quarterdeck swarmed with bob- bing white hats. The whitest hats in the fleet. This was the first night of liberty in Japan, and some hundred or more sailors were determined to make it a memorable one. Of course, some had seen it all before, and for these old timers it was like com- ing home again. They were surround- ed eagerly by the first-nighters who prodded them continually with questions about the best places to visit, the prices, the souvenirs, the girlsans, and do they serve beer? After what seemed hours of waiting, the OOD finally loaded the waiting boat, the bowhook threw off the line, and the first load headed towards shore. Minutes later the GUNSTON HALL announced her arrival in Japan. No one knew it then, but the crew off the LSD-5 were destined to leave their own little mark on the Far East. We had just about enough time to dis- cover who served the best saki and for how much ,when we got underway for Wonsan. At Wonsan we began the endless and thankless job of support ship for the many hardworking minesweep boats that were keeping the coastal channels clear. Anchored a few miles off the coast, we provided a haven for these boats and at the same time contributed our potential fighting power to the block- ade then in effect. At night, we were assured there was still a lot of fighting being done along the coast. We could see the flash of guns in the distance and the resulting ' fires on the mainland. We watched our j planes make bombing runs to the north and over the enemy-held Wonsan. And : strangely enough, there were many of us that would have willingly traded our snug little niche at any moment for the hottest spot on the bombline . . . 33 IN APRIL: OPERATIONS AND LIFTS When we left Wonsan there were rumors of an availability period in Yokosuka or Sasebo. These hopes were soon scattered as we com- menced on a series of lifts and amphibious operations that were to last for more than a month. Midnight loading, early morning anchor de- tails, and then midnight unloading. Boats in the water, and out of the water, helicopters on and off the flight deck like flies. And the maze of last minute unanswered questions. Do all the radios work? Can we make that speed? Is the crane operating? Does the supply de- partment know? There was the usual amount of griping in the chow line, but when the Commodore finally signaled us our Well done, and sent us on our way back to Japan, we all agreed that it hadn ' t been so bad, and some of it had even been a little fun. 34 MAY IS FLOODTIME IN FUKUOKA Rocking contentedly at the buoy in Yokosu- ka, we received the inevitable orders to get underway. Liberty parties became working parties and we soon steamed smoothly through the nets and set a southerly course for famous Fukuoka on the island of Kyushu. After twisting our way through the Shimono- seki Straits, we at last anchored in Fukuoka and changed back into whites. The next day it rained. And the next! For almost a week the rain poured into the city, and at the end of the week full-scale flood rescue operations began. Life rafts, supplies, and medical aid were promptly offered to the stricken Japanese by the GUNSTON HALL and the nearby flagship ELDORADO. Chief Carpenter KUISEPPA and Boatswain ' s Mates LAIRD and KRUSICK took the ship ' s life rafts and left for the hills where they helped to save many lives in the badly flooded areas. We all shared their pride in a job well done when they received commenda- tions for their work. 35 MORE LIFTS - June, July, and August merged into endless days of boredom, deadening heat, and shuttle -trips from Japan to Ko- rea. We slept topside, bolted our food to get out of the steam-filled messhall, and made one shower do the work of three. Heat rash and salt pills made the rounds, and the only bright moments were rumors of an armistice and home a month early. And finally, the big news arrived. The truce had been signed at Panmunjom. Once again rumors flew, but they were guickly forgotten as we got underway for Cheju Do to assist in the now famous exchange of prisoners of war. The pa- 36 THEN CHEJU DO pers called it Operation Big Switch. We had other names for it. At Cheju Do, acting as flagship for Commander Landing Ship Flotilla One, we anchored in an unprotected cove and bobbed like a cork for a month. Some of us saw the Communists loaded into the LCUs and LSTs beached on the island. The majority of us remained aboard during the month and turned to, pre- paring for the impending Administrative Inspection. Our only prayer when an- other LST or AKA loomed into sight was ... do they have any new movies aboard? I L i Ki -A ■■ - ' ' iifef ' ' 37 KOBE - AND FIVE Someone somewhere gave us five days of rest in Kobe during October. It gave many of us our first real opportunity to see Japan. The ship was spht up into two 48-hour leave parties for those who wanted a period of R R; the rest of us returned to the ship every other day to stand the watches Kobe had none of the fishing village charm or prevailing odor of little Sasebo, nor any of the glamour attractions of the Yokohama- Yokosuka area, but was an unarranged composition rep- resenting a mixture of Wilshire Boulevard, West Madison in Chicago, and Bourbon Street, New Orleans. The general shopping area of- fered an expensively decorated silk salon next door to Haki Saki ' s trinket shop. In the streets. — ' ■ ' -ii iAssss 38 ii ii ' long sleek Buick Dynaflows jockeyed for posi- tion with pint-sized rickshaw runners. And the roar and rattle of the electric commuter ' s train overhead mingled with the clip-clop of a thous- and wooden sandals on the pavement. A few of the crew traveled inland to Osaka, the second largest city in Japan with a popu- lation count as large as the city of Los Angeles. And some went even further to historic Kyoto by beautiful Lake Biwa. And when we finally singled up the Imes to lea ve Kobe, Osaka, and Kyoto, there were nough tea sets, silks, fishpoles, binoculars, and cloisonne ' vases to represent our entire ten rrionths overseas. It had been a very productive five days. 39 GOODBYE YOKOSUKA AND NIPPON BEER! The last few days in the Far East were just numbers on a calendar waiting to be crossed off. We emerged from the Administrative In- spection with an Excellent, paid a short visit to Otaru on the island of Hokkaido, while participating in an amphibious operation, and then bid an anxious farewell to Yokosu- ka, Nippon Beer, and the Grand Shima. On November 12, a dreary, grey day — but didn ' t it look beautiful — we backed out of the slip, swung the bow into the channel, and headed home. The return trip was somehow not as rough as our previous one, and there were days of firing at balloons and listening to the ship ' s jazz band on the forecastle. Our two-day stop-over in Hawaii was spent on the beaches at Waikiki, touring the island, and at the Moana or Don the Beachcombers. It was thrilling of course, but the biggest thrill came when Diamond Head slipped over the horizon for the last time, and our next stop was San Diego . . . Sweethearts, wives, mothers, and the end of a long, long cruise. It was at that moment that it all began to feel real again. 40 OUR RECREATION COMMITTEE The ship ' s recreation committee has played a great part in the Welfare and Recreation program during our Far Eastern Cruise. One of the main duties of the committee is to see that welfare funds are spent for the benefit of the crew. This is done by arranging ship ' s parties, pur- chasing athletic gear, providing movies and a ship ' s library. ff!tr i i ■i SS% ' !m 0tll • - f r i: jS If r H, ' .
