Following a brief upkeep period, she began her Far East operations lasting four months and eight days. The ship's diverse operating schedule took her into the combat zone near Korea in each of the five months spent in the Far East. The ship's first operations were with Task Force 77 for 15 days and later, a period of 23 consecutive days patrolling the Sea of Japan. As aunit of Task Force 95, the United Nation'vs Escort and Blockading Force, the STRIBLING patrolled the we st coast of Korea and the Yellow Sea with another American destroyer and the Australian carrier - H. M. A. S. SIDNEY. Liberty in Japan provided recreation and relaxation for the crew. The most frequent ports visited were Yokosuka and Sasebo, J apang however Nagasaki was also a port of call which provided several sight-seeing tours. In addition to visiting various ports, a great number of the crew enjoyed the relax- ation and conveniences offered by Special Service Hotels throughout Japan. Many of the crew took tours to Tokyo, Yo- kohama, Kamakura, Karatsu, and Karuizawa. In addition to the operations, training, and touring, mem- bers ofthe Crew participatedin a memorable event on the 16th of December 1953. This was the rescuing of four ship-wrecked South Koreans who had been adrift for one weekfrom their capsized vessel. For this action the STRIBLING received a well done from the Chief of Naval Operations, Republic of Korea. During the total time of operations in the Far East, the ship had steamed 20, 134 miles. .,-.I-.,-..' ,.,.,., ,-..-.'-,' .,'.,'.,-. vig.,-., ,I-..:,'.-, 4... ..-.,'. ..'.,..,..,l .,'-. .,'- J..-.',-.,-. .'-.'-.,-.,-. .'-'-.'-.' .'.'.-.'

The rescue 70 miles off the Coast of Korea in the Sea of Japan by the U. S. S. STRIBLING QDD- took place about 867l. A lookout, Thomas S. O'Brien, spotted the South Koreans clinging to their over-turned ves- sel. The Mighty S immediately changed course and picked up the seamen. Their boat, the ChunBokHo, was over-loaded with 320 crates of apples when it left port. Rough seas caused it to capsize after one day at sea. Be- ing adrift for six days, the South Kore ans survived on a crate of apples which they had been able to salvage. After being given medical treatment a- board the Stribling, they were given the meal of their choice .... rice. f ..W.!Af5 42 I i 1 r 1 .dn X 1 1 'sl'1f..,A ' 1 -ff gs. r I N X o 1 43 ' ru 1 'x N N' S 'I 5 ,f was f 5, HN ,WN If 73.
