IN THE SEA or JAPAN So it was that at 0559 in the dark of the morning of the 3rd day of March, we parted company with the Tender we had been snuggling against and were underway for the front . As we steamed along the coast of Honshu Island we were awed by the beauty of spectacular Fuji-yama, and with our brave little hearts pounding in our throats we hoped we would have the opportunity to see it again. Our first job after joining the task force operating in the Sea of Japan was to take our position in the screen. This was blended in withlinter- mittent carrier plane-guarding assignments. We had been in company with the task force exactly 32 hours and 52 minutes when we were assigned our first shore-fire bombardment mission. Not that we minded, but these j okers could have at least let us get acclimated first. But, being good sailors and well heeled to rules and regulations we shoved-off to play havoc with the North Korean Railroad CRed Pacificl. We made runs u to the bombardment area on this tri the 7th 13th p p 9 - U Q and 25th, which totaled up to 4 days on the bomb line and 423 rounds of B 5 shells expended. Box Score-3 runs, many hits, and no errors. After working on the railroad we returned to the task force to find that We were in the honored presence of the Secretary of the Navy. Mr. Secretary was riding. the Valley Forge and I am sure that he was pleased with what he saw, because at this time the task force was running like a iiawless machine. Mr. Secretary had all the more reason to be satisfied when the LUCKY LOWRY made a speedy recovery of one naval pilot in the pitch black, wee hours, of the morning of the 30th day of March. At 0446 plane hit the soupg 0447 stationed plane-guard detail, 0448 plane- guard manned, 0449 Captain took the conng 0454 pilot was aboard safe and sound but chilled to the bone. The water temperature was 35 degrees that morning, and if you don't think that is cold, just ask the man that went in after the pilot. - . So, with our first policing action complete, at 0001 31 March we bid the task force Sayonara and set a course for Buckner Bay, Okinawa for a little ASW exercising. - 29 -
