With their hopes, skills, unselfishness. With their despair and courage . . . and curses, and some- times tears . . . To the guy carrying that umpteenth case of lettuce up the gangway. To the guy handling the lines with red and often blistered hands . . . to the woman in grey pin-stripes who wearily walked the passageways checking on a serious patient. To the corpsman who squinted to see a thermometer reading in the dim light . . . to the guy who, sleepy-eyed, felt the shock of cold water sloshing about his feet as he swabbed down the decks at 6 A.M .... To the Doctor lighting a cigarette with tremb- ling fingers after standing long hours operat- ing. To the man intently listening to the dot, dot, dash of a message, and to the man stand- ing a boring and routine deck watch , . . To these, and to many, many more who con- tributed so much, this book is sincerely dedi- cated. C. B. HAMBLETT Captain USNR U.S S.

We're from New York, Wisconsin, Alabama, Washington, Florida, Wyoming, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Texas, California, and of course, from the best state, our own. We're doctors, lawyers, merchants, tinkers, tailors, mechanics, cooks, bakers, nurses, students, farmers, miners, foundrymen, carpenters, painters, plumbers, salesmen, insurance men, remittance men, policemen, firemen, confidence men, and almost anything else you can think of. We're Navy . . . regulars, careerists, single hitch men, Reserves extended in- voluntarily, ditto voluntarily lll, Reserves who've volunteered for active duty, and retreads, called back for more service. But one and all, we're Navy. We're the kind of a crowd you'll see anywhere in America. Some are tall, some short, or fat, or thin, dark, light, ruddy, sallow, swarthy, blond, brunette, red-headed, with blue eyes, brown eyes, or grey ones, green ones. We're hand- some, homely, happy, sad, old, young, and in-between., But wherever we've been, who we were, whatever we are or hope to be, we're every one of us here for one thing: we have a job to do.

The gangs from the ship- yard swarmed in and over our ship, cleaning, repairing and replacing, helping to make her ready for sea. For us, there was paint to be chipped, rust to be scaled, boats to be painted, decks to swab, equipment to be checked and inventoried, lists to be made, and orders to learn. We loaded stores until it seemed certain there could be no more in the area. Time passed so quickly that we were some- whatsurprised when suddenly it was time to leave. The chipping and painting seemed close to an end lwhich has never yet been reachedi, the vehicles were hoisted aboard, and finally, the gangway was taken away. The lines were cast off and we were free of the pier .... We took a last long look at our loved ones as the ship slowly made her way through the water. 11 ti' V 'fra , 2 OUR MOOD MATCHED THE GREYNESS OF THE DAY AND THE BLEAK NESS OF ALCATRAZ, FOR WE WERE LEAVING HOME.

The clouds were low and the view was hazy, but by straining our eyes we were able to detect the fuzzy outline of land, and in scattered ar- rangement, a few lights. We inched closer and definite objects began to come into view. We saw giant cranes silhouetted against the morning sky, weather-beaten fishing boats scurrying about us, and all around us, other members of our vast American fleet. There were no skyscrapers, no loud noises, not even rumbling ones. For the most part it was too quiet to suit the occasion. Finally we docked and our predominant thought was a wistful won- dering if the place, this place that was to be our home for some time to come, was to be as dull and dismal as appearances now made it seem. We learned quickly that it was not. Stepping out the main gate was an experience in itself for we couldn't help but notice the terrific atmosphere the place offered. Here were a race of small tan people tripping about in their wooden sandals seem- ingly going in all four directions at once. Taxis and rickshas were busy conveying people, mostly sailors, to their individual destinations while angry horns blew meaningless notes at them. Tiny shops were crowded close together. Each had it's barker beg- ging the sailors to come in, teasing them to buy something. The farther we walked the more interesting the place became. Up one street, down another, tramping up concrete steps, down again . . . maybe embarrassed. Entertainment? Various means and ways. Beer halls dominated the place and most were comparable to the dives back Stateside.. . . The people and their customs gave us a unique form of entertainment, for they were all different . . . the points of interest gave us scenes of beauty and sights to remember, and we saw that this land had its own sense of art, architecture, music and drama. So this was liberty in Japan? We couldn't be sure because this first stay was limited to only fice days. However, we left with a strong desire to come back . . . to come back and really become acquainted with Japan, with that part of the world that to us was the Orient. irriwvvvmw +1 -ei. omfir - - . l i Q. .1 .cal -N?

Coming into the harbor everything looked grey. There were grey tugs belching black smoke, pushing out to herd us into place, with dingy white bow and stern waves trailing along on the oily surface of the water. Pusan itself was situated among and on barren grey hills with it's tired-looking buildings seeming to huddle together trying to keep warm under their ragged grey blanket of smog. There were relatively few streets, as we know them at home, and most of the city seemed cut up helter-skelter by narrow little alleys that twisted here and there. Many were unpaved. ln dry weather these contributed a film of dust to everyone and everything that came that way, while of course in the rain, they became sheets of black, slippery mud. People crowded everywhere, on and off the sidewalks of the few streets that had them, and seemed little con- cerned about the really considerable volume of wheeled traffic always mov- ing through the city so that a tremendous din of automobile horns was added to the confusion. The major buildings of the city seemed solidly and permanently constructed, but all were dingy and old with many windows patched with cardboard or left as staring, sightless sockets. ln every foot of space not already in use there were tiny shacks made of whatever 'material was at hand, and in the outlying areas, this was practically the only type of construction to be seen. Around the edges of the city were military establishments of one type or another- United States Army Hospitals, Ordnance Depots, ammunition dumps, Korean Army Posts, British 'Commonwealth Force compounds, and many others, each surrounded with barbed wire fences interrupted occasionally by a gate or sentry tower. . 5 All the crowding, the traffic, the bustle, the confusion, the noise, the dirt, the misery, helped bring home to us the fact that notfonly is Pusan the capital of battered and war-torn Korea, and the major supplylport for United Nations Forces in the country,,it is also the place of refuge of literally hundreds of thousands of Koreans from all over the peninsula made homeless by the war., -JtJSv5i'i' 4 Q I ,mpm M I .idl its FEA ,f 1 l l A l 4 lwl ll gfQ71lfllllllJll ,WWIZ J f .::Jq: 1 T? 1-ii' Believe we had a mortgage on this is it loaded fthe gun, that igl?

His was one of the toughest jobs on the ship and he did it as few men could. His cheerful greeting, his confident, friendly grin, his keen insight, born of many years in the Naval service, and his tireless interest and devotion to duty were and are an inspiration to us all. From our hearts we wish him fair winds and smooth sailing until he joins the Great Fleet of the Supreme Captain.. O Divine Navigator, whose very words mold a tear, And bid it trickle.from its source, , Whose very laws hold this earth a sphere And bid the planets in their course, Lead all who sail the sea in ships into Thy heavenly port.

PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION The President of the Republic of Korea takes profound pleasure in citing for exceptionally meritorious service and heroism during the period from I8 October l95O to 25 July I952 fs i rrlcNc t rt U s 5 HAVEN CAH 127 if ff 1N,i if ' ' ' - UNITED STATES NAVY X i g .The U.S.S. HIAVEN IAH-IRD has distinguished itself in support of United Nations lr .lil Q Forces in Korea. This vessel provided medical and surgical care and consultative service in the cases of many Republic of Korea war casualties, many of whom were specially aisi- selected cases requiring unusual or particularly difficult types of medical or surgical 'gl' treatment. The HAVEN thereby contributed greatly to the morale of the Army and to Q: f Zil the people of Korea by the assurance of the most modern and effective types of medical x i3 l is care known to science in the many particular instances where these were required. M ig , . A ,,t,r I. ll ll The medical officers of the HAVEN through extra effort, over and above their already strenuous and full occupation in regularly assigned duties, gave unstintingly of their remaining time in visiting Republic of Korea hospitals and medical installations and rendering instructive and consultative services which did much to improve the knowledge and ability of the Korean doctors in the care and administration of war casualties. The activities of a hospital ship, founded on the motives of alleviating the suf- fering caused by war and improving medical care as well as the highly substantial and beneficial effect in the recovery of casualties for further service, served in a great degree beyond the call of duty of its personnel, in the establishment and cementing of relations of friendship between the governments of the United States and of the Republic of Korea and provided an unusually high humanitarian as well as military contribution to the success of the war objectives of the Republic of Korea. The outstanding performance of duty by each individual member of the HAVEN is in accord with the highest traditions of the military service. This citation carries with it the right to wear the Presidential Unit Citation Ribbon by each individual member of the U.S.S. HAVEN IAH-l2l United States Navy who served in Korean waters during the stated period. SYNGMAN RHEE I kc . l 1 i ff Ml'x ' s Yi. 'gg i I V Q, , . ' ,X I, 5? R af if , R ix' X f J. X f , lx Vi :,i I .

T lfl'-lIlOlIfl O G O On a hot, humid day late in July we steamed slowly into lnchon's outer harbor. Because of the shallowness of the harbor proper and the tremendous tides twhich average nearly thirty feet, with currents of as much as six knotsl, we lay at anchor for the next five weeks. The HAVEN was at first unable to accept patients brought in by helicopter, unlike the REPOSE and CONSOLATION, which had been modernized with the addition of flight decks. However, this was remedied within a day or two by taking two surplus pontoon barges, about fifty by one hundred forty feet--which had been employed as supply barges-and mooring them on either side of the ship with the longer dimension extended laterally, These were equipped with warning lights, small wind directional indicators, and fire-fighting equipment. Jacob's ladders and a temporary gangway provided ready access to the platforms and patients were hoisted aboard with the ship's litter hoists. By this means we were able to accom- modate more helicopters than with the conventional flight deck, and at one time, no fewer than four of these ungainly-looking machines were perched on Hamblett Field and Zikmund International Airport. So a new call was added to the reportoire of the bosun's mates of the watch: Flight Quarters, Starboard Side! And not a moment too soon. For soon after our arrival, and the departure of REPOSE, action flared on the fighting front and casualties began arriving, first a trickle, then a steady stream, and finally a flood. WhirIy-birds dropped down on our landing platforms at all hours bringing seriously wounded Marines to us within minutes after they had been hit. Boatloads of less seriously wounded patients, brought by train to lnchon, arrived at least once a day and the operating rooms were kept busy twenty-four hours a day. During our five weeks at lnchon, l2OO casualties were received, nearly l6O of them by helicopter. Everyone worked long, seemingly endless hours and every time it seemed impossible to continue more patients appeared and hidden reserves of energy were tapped, somehow to carry on a little longer. At last things quieted down, the load became a little lighter, and we were able to pause, take a breath, and look back at what we had accomplished. Then we recalled the words RADM Broaddus, Fleet Medical Officer, Pacific Fleet, had told us months before when he visited us in Pusan: When it's over, you will be proud to have been there. We were, and we are. XXpgbyfw-Q,,f.,,.121f. :,,.X'fXN-X,4f-,, .X,,., .Q ,, 4 9 ' X WX BW A X 5 X Q X OX X XX Qm',HXxXX X g AW X, W X . - gs, W' V Nlgiqqlxfjxgigi QQQV X, ,MX SX .

To each of the 560 odd of us aboard home has a different and special meaning. Home is where the heart is, or perhaps, where the toothbrush is. It's the wife and kids and picnics on Sunday or it's one of Mom's dinners in the evening with her and Dad. It's a date for the movies or a dance with your girl or having a beer with the gang after work. Home is that snug little cottage on the farm where the world doesn't seem to press in so closely or it's two rooms with bath lno utilitiesl for S80 a month. Maybe it's an apartment, air-conditioned, modern, convenient, and standardized, or just a room with a sagging bed, a cracked mirror over the dresser, one bulb, and the privilege of using the bath. Home is that special town where all the buildings and all the faces are the ones that belong there and there alone. It's that corner in the city where one meets old, familiar faces on old, familiar errands. It's that bend in the stream where no-one else seems to be able to catch the fish the way you do or it's that hidden valley where it seems you can always bring down your bird. Home is the old job where the work is somehow a little more familiar, a little less tiring, where the gang is a little friendlier, where the old jokes seem a little funnier. It's the job where the days off come a little oftener and the vacations are a little longer, and somehow, where you're always a little happier to be back at work.
