She is a 2100 ton destroyer, 376 feet long with a beam of 395 feet. One of the Fletcher class vessels, she was built at the San Pedro, California yard of the Bethlehem Steel Company. The 681 was named in honor of Pollard Hopewell, Midshipman, U.S. Navy. Hetserved on the U.S. Frigate CHESAPEAKE from 12 August 1812 until he was killed in action during battle between that vessel and the British Frigate SHANNON on 1 june 1813. As a seven star veteran of Pacific operations during World War II, our ship engaged in shore bombardment missions, fought enemy aircraft, and compiled an enviable record. Early in 1944 she participated in the shore bombardment covering the initial landings on Mellu, Ennubing and Ro-i Is- lands at Kwajaleing at Aitape, New Guinea and at Medina Plantation on New Ireland. Later, pro- ceeding to Morotai Island, Dutch East Indies, she repulsed several enemy air attacks, shooting down one plane. Joining an attack group proceeding to Mindoro, Philippine Islands late in 1944, three enemy aircraft were shot down during numerous air attacks, and the actual bombardment of the island saw our ship effect the rescue of the crew of a burning LST. After that she joined the Luzon attack force, repelling several enemy air attacks and giving assistance in shooting down two aircraft. On 12 February 1945 the HOPEWELL was assigned to give fire support to the Bataan-Corregidor attack-' grotipf 'A While rescuing survivors of a YMS, four hits were received from enemy shore batteries Non Corregidor.. hits in number one stack put the forward fire room out of commission' one six Pinch hit -outside 'plotfdestroyed thc gyro, computer and internal communications system. The fourth Xhit was at the base of Qumber one torpedo mount. Seven men were killed, and 12 woun-ded, one of lwhom died, later., g - 2 Q Qlate ,inf19i46 the,QI-IOPEWELL was de-activated and on 15 January 1947 she was placed in jreserve commission, inacfive status. On 28 March 1951 she was recommissioned at the Naval Base in San Diego, Californiai The latter part of April she commenced her shakedown training period, and in june of 1951 proceeded, with the remainder of her division, to the Korean area for duty. Q., She 'served with Task Force 77, the Formosa Patrol, and spent a month bombarding Wonsan. The shipwwas given a complete overhaul on her return to the States in February 1952. This work was completed at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard and lasted from February to june. Our Captain was Commander james B. Hildreth, who took over the Hopewell in March of 1952 while we were still at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard. He was graduated from the University of California in 1941, with a hachelor of sci- ence degree and entered the Navy immedi- ately after. During World War II he saw considerable action and recently added a 14th battle star to his numerous campaign and service medals as a result of our Korean cruise. Our skipper reported from the Naval School at Monterey, California where he was attached as instructor. His wife and two sons reside in Coronado, Calif. ' . . D Q 342 CLYLWQQI' M 0116! tk?

V V V V 4 Mr. Pak underwent extensive training. Engineering, sonar, CIC, and bridge watches are just a fer' of the various phases of ship's work participated in by the Korean Naval Officer. - Of all the .training, he seemed to enjoy engineering most. Ensign Pak enjoyed visiting the many ports of call made by the Hopewell. Al- though he had been to Sasebo before, he listed that japanese city, along with Yoko- suka, as his favorites. Before his entry into the Republic of Korea Naval Academy, Mr. Pak was grad- uated from Chyong ju Commercial High School. He completed thisthree year course in August of 194-9. In or-der to qualify for his cruise on the Hopewell, it was necessary for the Korean Ensign to maintain high marks at the ROK Naval Academy. We had on board with us this cruise a Republic of Korea 'Naval Officer, Ensign Pak 'Nae Um. Mr. Pak came aboard on the 18th of October, 1952, upon his graduation from the ROK Naval Academy.- ' v Whenhawe pulled into Yokosuka for the last- time, the ROK Naval Officer left us, and reported to Destroyer Division 92 for additional training. When asked his reac- tion to the officers and men of the Hopewell, Mr. Pak said I think your behaving are gentle and kind. I like your cleanness and respect good manners.

Actually it started several weeks earlier upon our arrival in San Diego from Mare Island, and the commencement -of our refresher training exercises. We had to work pretty hard, for the old hands were rusty and there were many new men aboard who had to get in the swing of things before we headed for the Far Eastern end of the Pacific We had many drills We fired and had general quarters almost continuously We fired at San Clemente and chased sub- marines up and down the California coast We operated with cruisers and carriers simu lating the operations of Task Force 77 whom we soon would be with Our f1nal examination was passed with fly ing colors and with a full load of ammuni tion food fuel and other necessary items we set sail for Pearl Harbor the morning of August 12 Q Ll Y ! . 7 - 7 , - 7 7 7 7 fr.11:3K f.'.:Q, 'fi 2SQ-Zvi?

The' weather was pleas- ant and we were looking forward to our arrival in the land of hula skirts and tropical drinks. As soon as we tied up, the liberty section was off for swim- ming at Waikiki Beach, a cool Scorpion at Don the Beachcombers,- a visit to one of the many Navy clubs or a sightseeing tour of this scenic island paradise. Our stay in Hawaii was not all liberty and recreation, however. The day after we arrived we went to sea to conduct anti-submarine warfare. This and other training continued throughout our stay. We searched for and attacked submarines, tired at drones and sleeves, and spent a day at Kaholawe conduct- ing shore bombardment. f 1 All too soon we bid aloha to the islands, and with the Kearsarge and the cruiser Toledo started on our long trip to- japan one bright morning. Drills continued throughout the trip. The weather was sunny and warm, the seas calm, and the days passed quickly. Mt. Fuigi appeared over the horizon early one morning, and its snow covered top bid us a welcome to japan. We entered Yokosuka harbor for a period of preparation. We were about to begin our very important mission in the far east, and had to be given the latest information regarding opera- tions. We learned whom we would be working with and got an idea as to our many assignments. Our fuel tanks had to be filled, our food supply replenished and a few odds and ends fixed that had gone haywire during our journey over. We were all quite serious as We began to realize more fully the important job that lay ahead. L Most of us headed directly for the Club to find out a little more about the city. It took no time at all for us to find the good eating places, the best p-laces to buy' gifts and mementos-and the best bars. We tried Saki, rode in the rick- shaws, saw the quaint Japanese homes, and got a .kick out of the cute little japanese kids we saw. This was also a period for most of us to get acquainted with japan. After our green- backs had been transferred into Military Script, and it was explained to us how much script equaled how much Yen, the liberty section was sent ashore. Yokosuka, being quite close to Tokyo, made it easy for some of us to visit the Japanese capital. We found the city quite modern, and quite impressive. Visits were made to the Emperors Palace, to the Diet and to the many wonderful restaurants for which Tokyo is famous. With hardly enough time to get a good look at japan we were out to sea, heading for Task Force 77. On the way, we passed through the famous Shiminoseki Straits, the narrows that separate the Japanese islands of Kyushu and Honshu. In a short while we ar- rived at the Task, Force, and were assigned to the screen. We watched the carriers and cruisers and started getting used to our new ro-utine. V On deck we could get a goodyview of the many 'ac- tivities on the shore. We could see thehouses, fac- tories and the picturesque landscape. We waved at the people' ashore and watched the ferries and quaint fishing boats scramble out of our way as we passed through.

A lot of trme wrth 77 was spent rronrng out the bugs rn the shrp.

I ' ' Replenishment days were always looked for- ward to eagerly, as it meant fresh fruit, vege- tables, milk and plenty of fuel-but, most impor- tant to us so far away from home, it meant MAIL. The fueling detail and high line p-ersonnel worked with speed and efficiency so we could have our mail call as soon as possible. Each bag of precious mail was counted as it came aboard and when everyone got their letters work would all but halt as we learned the latest news from home. Our first hitch with 77,' finally ended and we headed back to Yokosuka for a few days of maintenance, replenishment, rest and recreation. We tied up in Yokosuka alongside a destroyer tender for any repairs needed and headed for the beach as soon as possible. Having been here before we knew our way around. Each of us had his own favorite bar or restau- rant, but the Club was the main hangout. Here we could get steaks, buy souvenirs, dance, drink beer from four different countries and see.,movies. Lots of us made trips to Tokyo and had an interesting time viewing the japanese capital. .We found the japanese children as cute and appealing as ever. , This was also a period of much turn to. Being at sea most of the time we usually have to wait until we get into port, alongside a tender, to get any necessary repair work done and to get our decks and sides washed, scraped an-d painted. After several weeks at sea there is quite a bit that 'needs to be done. A hatch get warped and we have it straightenedg a generator goes bad and we have it .rewiredg a radio tube goes out and we have it replaced. We will need to take on fresh food so ,we will have enough for 'our next trip to sea. We played- but we also ,workedl During our upkeep period in Yokosuka we had a ship's party on two successive nights at the Club. Our Welfare and Recreation fund supplied the beer and the entertainment while our cooks and bakers really turned toi' on the ham roast beef potato salad and a tremendous cake A team of apanese waiters served us and a dance band played for us We exhibited a little musical talent of our own as the evening wore on g glers and dancing girls added to the festivities Simply saying a good time was had by all hardly covers this memorable occasion in our far eastern cruise 7 7 . I , V . Ju - ' if ' Y, ' l m o Most of us enjoyed the bo-mbline assignments most. After several days of firing at the beach we could come back to the Task Force feeling that We had 'done something more concrete than steaming around aircraft carriers. We did a lot of shooting at the North Korean railroads. Ko-rea is very mountainous, and therefore the rail lines are only a short distance from the beach. We could easily get in close enough to drop a few shells on the tracks, on railroad cars, and perhaps on a movingtrain. We also managed to send some of our five inch calling cards on enemy gun emplacements, troop concentrations, cities, factories, supply and ammuni- tion dumps. After one especially effective bombardment mission the cruiser Helena told us You win today's gunnery prize. We all felt pretty proud about that. o The mock invasion of Kojo was another of our varied assignments. This entire operation was very hush-hush, and it wasn't until a few hours before the fireworks actually started that we knew what it was all about. The opera- tion was designed to draw enemy troops into the open so our aircraft could get at them and do some real damage. It was a complete success. We helped escort some of the amphibious craft to the area, and while the actual operation was going on we screened the force from any possible submarine attack. Our assignments to- the bombline all proved to be most satisfying experi- ences. We felt we were doing a little something to help the guys who have to do the actual fighting. We got shot at two or three times, but that added to the feeling, and let us know we were doing some real damage. ' ' . - -- - 1 - f- ' - g...,...,,......g-e . , - . - . . . .. ,, ', .,. .

A huge map of the city greeted us when we got to the fleet landing and helped us 'decide where to spend our hours ashore. Rickashas were every- where, and for 200 yen we could ride in a japanese taxi. The Navy's new Club had lots to offer. Excellent din- ners, pretty japanese girls to dance with and a couple of very nice bars. The shops, cabarets and restaurants in town also got their share of our business. We bought souvenirs, saw movies and did lots of dancing. We were usually worn out and glad to return to the ship when liberty ended. Some of us Went on the all day tour of Nagaski, about 50 miles south of Sasebo, where the atomic bomb was dropped in 1945. We saw the exact spot where the bomb went off, the wreckage of the Catholic Church and other points of interest. It was amazing to see how much had been rebuilt since the atomic explosion first rocked that city. We had a wonderful lunch, saw the home of Madame Butterfly and had a good time Wandering around this very typical an-d inter- esting japanese city. 4 .:. :.:..... f 1:.: f- . .. .. .. ....,- ...-.- A . ,,,,,,.,. ' - - J..-. - .............. The in-port period in Sasebo ended much too soon. Duty with the Formosa Patrol was our next assignment, and we knew this meant a trip to Hong Kong. We relieved Division 151 at Keelung and while the rest of our division proceeded to sea, we went to Kaohsiung to train Chinese National sailors. After Yokosuka and Sasebo, Kaohsiung did not look like much when we 'went ashore. The city was small, the children dirty, and there was not the modern look that the japa- nese- cities had. x We did find, however, that the Chinese hospitality was as good as the japanese-the girls were just as pretty and the ricksha boys plentiful. They had a nice Club and we played baseball at the municipal sports field almost every day. General Chaing Kai- shek's headquarters was in Kaoh- siung, and we were able to pay our respects to the military and political leader by manning the rail when he and his flagship left the harbor' to observe Chinese naval maneuvers. V 1 We left Kaohsuing one afternoon, and after a rendezvous with the cruiser Los Angeles we both proceeded to Hong Kong. Immediately after our arrival, we were besieged by merchants with every kind of ware imaginable. We fought them off with water hoses until the Exec could make sure that the ones we let on board were reliable. Soon we were inspecting everything from hand carved dragons to lace tablecloths. We bought cashmere sport coats, gabardine suits, jade and jewels and almost anything you could name. The liberty party went ashore to inspect this pearl of the orient. Some of us went on tour of Hong Kong, inspected the Tiger Gardens, saw the city from atop the surrounding hills, had a steak lunch at the Lido Lounge, roamed through the fishing village of Aberdeen and returned to the main city to sample the night life. We also went to Kowloon fonly a mile from Commu- nist dominated Chinaj by riding one of the many ferry boats. When we left Hong Kong the ship was two feet lower in the water and our wallets were empty. On December 24, 1952, to help celebrate our Christmas so far away from home, we held a party for the children of Kaohsiung, Formosa. Through the cooperation of the Ameri- can Consulate more than thirty boys and girls were invited. Although shy at first the chil- dren were soon laughing at the cartoons we showed them. After the movies were over, ice cream and cake were served and the kids were really de- lighted. l V.3f.fLl'w1357. ' .

It was hard to tell who was having the most fun-the kids -or the crew. When they left, smiling and waving, we all had a warm feeling for these kids who- had made our Christmas a more pleasant one. We left Formosa on Christmas Day heading for Okinawa to meet the Carrier Bataan for anti-sub- marine warfare exercises. After Hong Kong and Kaohsiung, Okinawa seemed dull but we all had a good time celebrating New Year's Eve. Soon we were out to sea again. We simulated attacking submarines but the weather got rough and all exercises were cancelled. It was all we could do to keep the ship on course, and walking on deck meant a salt water bath. You can see the reason why! .... ... . .1....g.:.-.. - - a:.n:.... wma. ...,r.......,., ,, ,...,h.......a- t i Y l i l Most of us got to go to rest camp at the Aso Kanko Hotel during our stay in Sasebo. Aso Kanko was far in the mountains of Kyushu on the brink of an old volcano, a part of which is still active. The hotel was the best. We could do nothing for ourselves. A little japanese maid was always there to light our cigarette, shine our shoes, pour our beer or give us a second portion of steak. They seemed very disappointed unless we ordered and ate everything on the menu and, needless to say, we needed little encouragement. Some of us went to look over the volcano while some slept in late in the soft beds with bright clean sheets. Others took pictures, hiked, shot pheasant, read, or just plain loafed. It was Wonderful, and most of us will remember Aso Kanko as one of the high spots of our cruise to the orient. ' In a few' days we left Sasebo for the last time. We had spent a wonderful ten days in this Japanese city and had many pleasant memories to take with us. Rest camp, shop- ping, the Club and cabarets would long be remembered. We didnt stay long however for we were soon ordered to the bombline patrol Machine gun batteries gun emplacements bridges railroad tracks and some small cities all felt the effects of our five inch guns When we once again returned to Task Force 77 we knew it would be for just a few days The big day arrived and with happy hearts we were detached for the last time from Task Force 77 and left Korea in the background We soon arrived with Task Force 77. It was old stuff to us now and as time was growing near for us to go back home we became impatient. We got a few days rest from the monotonous 77 duty when we es- corted the Big Mo while she bom- barded the Korean coast. Later, we went into Wonsan and watched her fire her 16 inch guns from the har bor entrar1ce Finally we watched the Missouri sail back to port and we headed back to Task Force 77 ' 7 7 7 7 7 7 7 ' 7 7 ,,,,,,.,. ,,,,,. ,.,,..,,, JJ., .,,, ,,,,,,r.,.,.,.-..g.. ef' .....:a:.,....-f.1..1:.:ea-- 2:11, --------M - 1-- M------- ' -Q----f--g-'- 4--'----- - L : : 'L A 'L :'A L'7 7'7 T'A iT uc'J '3'-w 'T'M 'm,'Ahh'A After a three day stop in Yokosuka for voyage repa1rs we started home. The flrst stop was Mrdway rsland for refueling. We stretched our sea legs and laughed at the antrcs of the gooney brrds, but didn't think too much of the small rsland itself. Our stay at Midway was only a matter of a few hours, and we were on our way once again-next stop Hawau. We arrived at Pearl Harbor on a warm typically Hawaiian afternoon. There to greet us was a Navy band and a group of eye catching hula girls. Almost all ac- tivity on the ship came to a complete stop while we watched their performance. Al- though some peo-ple have the jitters about Friday the 13th, it was a very welcome day for us. On that day we pulled out of Pearl and headed for San Diego. The weather was nice, and most of the shipboar-d conver- sation was of the states and home. ' ,.,.......... M ' I ..vL,4Lr,,Zz, 1 J? , We arrived in Long Beach early Thursday morning, the 19th of March, to off load our ammunition. We worked hard, finished about noon and headed for San Diego. The San Diego skyline was a welcome sight when we steamed around Point Loma. As we neared the dock we heard a Navy ban-d welcoming us with Stars and Stripes Forever, and further down we Could see a huge crowd of people. Here was positive proof that our wives, families, relatives and that special gal hadn't forgotten about us during our long months overseas. Our Captain was the first to jump ship and he gave Mrs. Hildreth a royal welcome to the sound of aboard the Hopewell. ., X A. Some of us waited at the quarterdeck with sea bags packed to start on a hard earned leave, head for school, or to the receiving station for discharge. Our long cruise in the Grient was finally over, and home seemed even better than all the dreams and visions we had thought about since the day we left. From: Commander Naval Forces, Far East To: Destroyer Division 152 Well -done to Commander Destroyer Division 152, the Commanding Of- ficers, officers, and men of Hopewell, Kidd, Wedderburn and Uhlmann for your excellent service in varied duties during the past six months.
