'O-.-1,1 , QQ.. -' i l FOREWORD This book tells, in words and pictures, the story of fifteen hundred men and their ship during seven months in the Korean Theater. This story does not have to do with iust fighting a war. We have tried to make the book show the many kinds of men and iobs it took to run this ship. But the book is not all about work. We hope you will find plenty about how we played, and played hard, when we got the chance. All in all, it is the story of a ship performing its mission. In these seven months from March to September, I953, the men of SAINT PAUL added many new pages to an already proud war record. In World War II the ship was on hand to send the last round of the war plunging into the Japanese home islands. The ship marked the termination of hostilities in Korea by sending the last round prior to the armistice into Red territory. Since September, 1944 when SAINT PAUL went down the ways in Quincy, Massachusetts, she has steamed more miles and remained in continuous commission longer than any other cruiser in the United States Fleet. In Korea, she participated in every major engagement re- quiring naval support: the drive to Chongiin, the Hungnam evacuation, the Inchon invasion, and the Battle of Won- san, as well as providing direct support for our front line troops. In the past seven months, SAINT PAUL has steamed over 3,600 hours, traveled more than 49,000 miles, and burned nearly five million gallons of fuel in the process. In this same period, SAINT PAUL poured well over eleven thousand rounds of a m m u n i t i o n into enemy territory. She blasted Red troops, guns, roads, supply and ammunition dumps, railways, trucks and tanks, bunkers and emplacements, out of existence. Her helicopters and boats were the salvation of many a downed pilot, and her sickbay became a hospital for the wounded from the smaller ships and ashore. She rode shotgun with Task Force 77 for weeks in the freezing winds of March when snow still covered the mountains of Korea. And she visited many ports of call: Honolulu, Hong Kong, Kobe, Sasebo - and last, but certainly not least, Yokosuka. , These are the things we hoped to record in this saga of our third Korean cruise. If we have left out some of your favorite memories, perhaps what you find here will help recall them.

V VIPs l ficqk HY' -' ' s fl C K ex FIT' On her trip from Long Beach to Pearl Harbor, SAINT PAUL played host to fifteen distinguished guests of the Secretary of the Navy. All prominent business men from the Midwest, these gentlemen were invited to make the voyage with us as part of the Navy's goodwill program. By living among us for a week or so, it is hoped these gentlemen gained better insight into the Navy's problems, and thus, the Navy gains new friends. The crew and guests struck it off well from the start and it was not long before they were a part of us. At any time during the crossing a SAINT PAUL swabbie was apt to look up from his holy- stone into the lens of a guest's camera. Our ship- board lives were well recorded on film before this first leg of the cruise had ended. The most gratifying photographic result was a first-rate movie with sound, made by Mr. Johnson of the Warner Com- pany, Muncie, lndiana. Mr. Johnson has already shown his movie throughout the Midwest and among the viewers was the Commander-in-Chief. As they mixed with the officers and men, toured every space of SAINT PAUL, dined with us, and took part in our Happy Hour, we soon felt as though they were part of us and the friendship be- tween us was gratifying.

As the high, snow-covered peaks of Korea hove into view, we could see outlined against them the gray silhouettes of Task Force 77. A powerful assemblage of America's greatest war- ships, the task force was the naval strong arm in Korean waters. While with the task force, SAINT PAUL rode shot gun ro- : P tecting the force with her bristling anti-aircraft batteries. As the first gray light of dawn touched the Sea of Japan, SAINT PAUL's gun crews, on dawn alert, watched the first flights of Panther- lets, Skyraiders, and Banshees leave the decks of the lumbering car- riers for targets somewhere deep in North Korea. Some mornings, however, the men of SAINT PAUL awakened to a different sight the coast of far-northern Korea. After a day of striking at vulner- able targets along the mountainous coast, she would again return to the task force to continue her role as watchdog. . I ,,. -v-4' ,f ,ff ,U i W1 V.

Ili I lon nfhi Vxu 19595 1 Til guKA Our home away from home and frequent port for upkeep and maintenance was Yoko- suka. Known by thousands of American sailors since the end of World War II, noisy, teeming little Yokosuka with its Blackmarket Alley and taxicab horns that never stopped blowing, with its cabarets and Japanese singers American style and thousands of girls and stinking sewers, was our home. There was plenty to buy, but there were few bargains, as in Hong Kong. Shrewd Nipponese merchants were not to be taken in by the salty bargaining of a swabbie - they had known too many swabbies to be fooled. We missed Yokosuka sometimes, but we never exactly liked it. We had slowly become accustomed to it. ii V ,f-6 f' M l f ' ' W df I -,,..uslv -Q-,ing N T. sires si' ,- cw, ,X smswwsxdtsscfcilu. c 44 Q. -'ELSE 4 K4 'WMM J ,aff 'tw Af Q-el' .YT,,f sfo ' 'r V .

X Of all our ports of call, Hong Kong was probably the favorite. Perched on the under- belly of Communist China, the tiny British colony fulfilled all our expectations. Hong Kong is the jewel of Asia, a true crossroads, where com- merce from all over the world makes its harbor one of the busiest. It is an outpost on the rim of the bamboo curtain, and everywhere we could feel the desperate plig ht of the Chinese people. A million and a half refugees bloated the colony's population to two and a half million. But, for us, Hong Kong was a port for liberty and recreation, and we remember best the good times and bargains. No sooner had we dropped anchor than a huge fleet of iunks and sampans surrounded the ship. On board were refugee merchants from Shanghai, Hang- H ONG fa A ,.. W., 9 ffl' -' '5- 'ef'-I 5 5 2 . H.

We bought suits for a fraction of their cost stateside. We were offered bargains in china, jade, linen, silk, and leather goods the like of which we had never expected. We toured the island of Hong Kong and soon learned why Asia is the brewing pot of humanity. We smelled every smell that exists on earth, we listened to the clatter of two mil- lion sandalwood sandals. We watched the beau- tiful harbor and its aimless, scurrying traffic. We saw the fantastic Tiger Balm gardens built by a Singapore millionaire, and we found ex- cellent restaurants. Those ten days were enioyable ones. lt seems ironic that we spent them under the shadow of the red mountains of Communist China.

Although in the last two years of the war the communists controlled all sides of the land-locked harbor, the Navy succeeded in denying its use to the enemy. At dawn every morning, summer and winter, in all kinds of weather, tiny minesweepers steamed bravely into the barbor under the gun-infested hills, followed closely by destroyers intent on destroying some enemy stronghold. Then the big boys, like SAINT PAUL steamed in and unleashed the furor 'of their mighty five and eight-inch batteries. Am- munition dumps, railroad yards, supply areas, assemblies of troops, tanks and guns hidden in camouflaged caves, all went down before the unceasing barrage of heavy pro- iectiles. But the battle was not won without bitter sacrifice. Red guns, hidden on the reverse sides of the hills surrounding the harbor, rained a dangerous barrage of cross-fire on the ships in the harbor. The sharp whistle of a round as it passed overhead, and the deep, throaty thump as it struck the water made every man cross his fingers. SAINT PAUL was fortunate this cruise as none of her men were hurt and the ship suffered only minor wounds. Others were not so lucky. 'Q--A.. .f ,E .-wg, f '1-- ' ff - , .

The complete denial of the use of the harbor to the enemy was not achieved without a cost of life and limb. SAINT PAUL was fortunate enough to escape having her own personnel being hurt, but the plucky little cans who steamed into the Red harbor day after day were not so fortunate. SAINT PAUL, with her excellent medical facilities, received the serious- ly wounded from two destroyers hit on 22 June, the U. S. S. Rowan and U. S. S. Irwin. These men had been hit when communist fire pene- trated the skins of their ships and one of their five-inch mounts. F o I I o w i n g treatment, the wounded were awarded the Purple Heart on board SAINT PAUL by Rear Admiral Harr Sanders. Y PURPLE HEARTS if 1 ' 4-0-44-H BLOOD DONATIONS gi Shortly after arriving in the Far East, the officers and men of the Fighting Saint had the opportunity to A i ul I as-gf donate blood for use in Korea. While in Yokosuka, Japan, the 48th Blood Bank Laborator Detachment came aboard ff 'W -.. Y f My and left with 374 pints of blood. Capt. Ted A. Griset, ' ' rrri USAMC, in charge of the Detachment, informed us that the is HT' ' ' 7 'D blood donated on this ship was sent to Korea within three f - X A days to be put into immediate use. SAINT PAUL has a very c ' I yt good record of blood donations of which we are proud. iiiili X if lf 51 it f 4 i I ,Q X B N i off' my 34 AF., Q i W V -. ,, S 'NL T , ' T 'tl S- 4 - - 4 -' 'L-of i 1 f A ' gf sf- , I ee A i Xml ,ip- iii H K4 :ff - 1 H ,ff sc' ' , 54,15- ii X-, lv-w ss., fn, On the 26th of June, SAINT PAUL steamed into Kobe harbor for a week of liberty and recreation. The sixth largest city in Japan, Kobe is near the religious center of Kyoto, and Japan's second largest city, Osaka. Something of an interna- tional city, Kobe proved a pleasant spot for liberty and shopping. Tours into the interior beyond the city convinced many of us that this was, by far, the most in- teresting part of Japan that we had visited. While in Kobe, Captain Parker relieved Captain Stelter as Commanding Officer. It was also in Kobe that the Princeton Theological Seminary Glee Club and Choir gave a concert on our fantail. 7, -Lb f ' 3515. z Q X 51559, N w FEI ..- . .--' r- --- .X x x ll' - I . .. 4 .7 1: 7 v .:::: 1 K U ... y.

With the 'wo ships steadied up on each other, the boat- gwain mates swung into action, heaving monkey fists, shackling rigs and purchases, and hauling over lines, cables, and hoses from the other ship. Then the transfer began. Fuel and stores started coming. The main deck looked like a broken ant hill as a thousand men scurried this way and that carrying stores and ammunition to their appropriate spaces for stowage. The iob looked impossibly complicated and dif- ficult to the greenhorn, but to the salts this was old hat. The hub-bub was real order and the com- plex iob went on quietly and efficiently to com- pletion. SAINT PAUL, becoming so adept at these operations, set and beat her own records. x M ,rrr A v ARQUND THE 9-L -?E - 'fi' 34116 . 3?-B55 J gy, ,. A y .. 1 - . . , if GUNFIRE Despite her role as watchdog for the carriers of Task Force 77, her frequent rescues of downed pilots, and the medical facilities with which she served many smaller ships and forces ashore, the primary mission of SAINT PAUL was, of course, gunfire support. Around the clock, in all kinds of weather, our ship constantly provided support for our troops on the beach. Gun strikes at Songiin, Hungnam, Koio, Wonsan, and various points on the coast of Northern Korea were a matter of weekly routine. The ship poured tons of, high explosive sheels into supply routes, rail- road beds, ammunition dumps, troop emplacements, fit' P E Yf' T.l'.,t.nl.9 ' -1 - A -lcLocKFlRlNG 1 and gun caves. At night the ship fired round after round of demoralizing harassing and interdiction fire to shat- ter enemy nerves. On the bombline the support of troops in the immediate area was our sole objective and we provided them with every variety of am- munition asked. ln the pitched battle for Anchor Hill, the hard-hitting fire of SAINT, PAUL's main battery helped hold the Reds to limited gains and the hill was blasted to little more than a pile of sand. The shooting of SAINT PAUL's gunners was commended many times and we can thus say that our mission was fulfilled. +- , 'ijfg.1:-'WJ' W4 1 CHANGE OF COMMAND J . ,f l '1- On July 2, 1953, Captain Charles W.

May Day! When this desperate cry comes crackling over a radio net, operations at hand cease im- mediately. Silently, a great organization in- volving heavies like SAINT PAUL, aircraft within hundreds of miles, helicopters from ship and shore, and an entire task force, turns its efforts towards saving a life. This is the cry for help from a pilot in trouble. While operating off the coast of North Korea, SAINT PAUL frequently participated in sea- air rescue. Upon hearing the call for aid, she would alter course toward the stricken pil0f and dispatch her helicopter to him on the double. Often the aviator had been forced down in enemy territory, and the ship'S l Q E . AIR UE ,Q , - ,,a .,f f f 4 V 4 , .41 ,f ' ' ' A ,Q 1 94' , helicopte r was forced to brave enemy flak in order to reach him. lf the flyer had reached the sea, it was important to reach him before too late. Because of teamwork between land, sea, and air forces, SAINT PAUL was able, in these past seven months, to save the lives of many Navy and Air Force pilots. U.S.S.

The hopes of all the men who had been fighting in Korea were finally an- swered. On that morning, SAINT PAUL had been steaming off treacherous Wonsan har- bor where ships of the allied forces had maintained the longest naval siege in his- 'WY' We felt no disappointment in the fact 'hilt we were on hand to terminate this Battle of Wonsan which had cost the lives of so many men, Just as Lieutenant General Harrison Was seating himself at the truce table in P ePUfUli0n for signing the truce docu- ment, Rear Admiral Harry Sanders, Com- mander, Cruiser Division One, along with the crew of turret two, addressed an ap- P 9Pl'lDte farewell message on the side of on el9l1l-inch proiectile for the Reds.

WREC has approx- imately 200 popular music rec- ords plus 400 Armed Forces Radio S e rv i c e electrical tran- scriptions. Daily schedules are carefully made up and fol- lowed, unless the ship's oper- ating schedule interrupts the daily routine. Our station has also made great advancements in the way of equipment. Be- fore leaving for the Far East, all new equipment was pur- chased, giving us a station of which we can well be proud. A lot of hard work has gone into this operation and we think a fine iob is being done. pg..

Al- though handicapped by long periods at sea and no practice for the maiority of the season, the softballers compiled an enviable record. During two weeks in Yo- kosuka, they won six games while suffer- ing three defeats. The entire team displayed a lot of talent and used sterling defensive tactics to compensate for batting eyes that were iust finding the range when the season ended. Their performance was more than adequate and a chance to participate in a full season's schedule will prove them a match for anyone's ball club. i- HXM,-- IQAA 4N.....A ,,.,r-4--f' T pcm Sxnw N. :li SHIP'S BAND . . . ,,-,i,,,....-rf' FIRST ROW, LEFT TO RIGHT: Peterson, O.

In the Personnel Office, personnel records are kept up-to-date, transfers, discharges, leave and liberty are arranged and managed. At the same time, the Captain's Office carries on similar functions for the officers aboard. The Training Office, also a part of the Administrative De- partment, is the hot-spot of the ship during the time advance- ment in rate tests are given. This office also helps a man make decisions concerning his educational status. The Public Information Office provides naval and civilian publications with an up-to-date account of the ship, its per- sonnel and activities. Also a part of the Administrative Department, are the Print Shop, the Master-at-Arms Force, Photo Lab, Chaplain's Office and Legal Office. LT. K. L.

E The men of Baker Division called the BIack Gang, are the men who work deep in the bowels of the ship standing watches on steam lines, shifting machinery, pumping bilges, blowing tubes and maintaining steam pressure for use through out the ship. No wonder they are called the BIack Gang because their working spaces are unusually hard to keep clean, with the repairing of oil leaks, cleaning of fire sides and watersides going on. This division must be always on the alert for emergencies and quick to repair casualties.

The Electrical Division is responsible for the maintenance, care and operation of all electrical equipment on the ship. A ship of the size of SAINT PAUL uses a tremendous amount of electrical power, so it's easy to understand the important role this division plays. Their iobs so vary that they are divided into sub-divisions such as: Inter-Communications and Gyro- Compass Group, Generator and Power Distribution Group, Ordnance Group, Power and Lighting Group, and the Storage Battery and Boat Group. The large amount of electrical power handled daily by the men necessitates a thorough knowledge of their job and its importance to the ship. I !

They have the responsibility of the operation and upkeep of the ship's main engines and reduction gears. This also includes the maintenance of all auxiliary machinery and piping, necessary in the operation of the main engines, which generate the power needed to move a ship of this size through the water in speeds up to and in excess of 30 knots. The task of providing water for cooking, drinking, wash- ing and boiler feed also comes to the Mike Division. Frequent drills are needed to indoctrinate new men in their iobs and provide experience for the older hands, and to instill a sense of teamwork between men needed in these important iobs.

This food prepared in huge quantities, plays an important part in the morale of the ship. Thus, the Commissaryman has the spirit of the crew in his hands because the men of SAINT PAUL are . no exception to the old saying that an army travels on its I stomach. Modern day food processing and refrigeration, plus the know-how of the Commissaryman, makes each maui an I event to look forward to.
