Comments: As a young child in 1950, I traveled with my mother, sister and brother aboard the ship USS General Hugh J. Gaffey from Seattle to Japan to join my father who was stationed in Tokyo. He previously was stationed and wounded in Korea. His name was Franklin O. Jones. If there is anyone out there who knew him or who traveled aboard this ship during this time, I would love to hear from you. We lived in Grant Heights in Tokyo, an Army base for military families.

New Section |

Jon Gateley wrote on 2004-03-25 13:11:52.0
Comments: Down at the very bottom of this list there is a section entitled "New Section" dated 29 Aug 1998 posted by blxJac@aol.com. It has some good information. In it he says "the Navy is not wild about addmitting that anyone other than they, know how to operate ships." I can believe that.
I never served in what I called the "real" Navy other than boot camp. I always had cushy, laid-back, non-militaristic duty but I did serve a year in the Military Department on the USNS BARRETT (T-AP 196). I had occasion to observe our ship's seamanship as well as some seamanship on the part of the "real" Navy on USS ships.
The "real" Navy was very impressive but then our status in those days was only slightly above that of the galley slaves in Ben Hur. You got good at what you were doing "or else" and you didn't really want to know what the "or else" was. I suppose the merchant marine officers were intelligent, capable and well trained (I really don't know for sure) but I had occasion to observe the seamanship of our merchant marine crew under some difficult situations and it seemed rather inept.

I just stumbled across this thread in the website. I boarded the troop ship CG Morton in Seattle on December 31, 1955 and arrived in Inchon about January 20, 1956. John Taggart was aboard and we later ended up in the same unit, Heavy Mortar Company, 21st Infantry Regt., 24th ID in Korea. Been looking for John a long time and have posted in a variety of sites. Also like to hear from anyone else in the same company serving with me.
If so, give me a call or email.

Comments: If anyone has any info on this magnificent ship. I was 6 years old on my first voyage on this ship. My mother and I were on our way to Germany to be with my dad who was stationed there. I remember it like it was yesterday. But what im curious about is,not sure where in NYC we boarded her. I was thinking it was Brooklyn but not sure. This would be in 1964. The ship went to France. Also what im looking for is her retirement? I found a web site tonite with her picture, that really touched my heart. She was truley a beauty, and her staff was very accomidating. If anyone was on that ship that time period, would also love to hear from you. My father was 21 year veteran of the US Army. His pride and joy, and a big part of my life. His retirement was in 1969 out of Fort Niargra NY thank you for your time

Comments: In 1958 I was transportated from New York City to Bremerhaven Germaany aboard the General Alexander M. Patch as a 17 year old with the Army Signal Corp. (Was stationed at Camp des Loges, France for two years). I am a model ship builder/repairer and though for some time now that I would like to build a model of this ship. Any help in getting photos, plans, etc. would be appreciated. Thank you.

Comments: Would like to hear about your remaining tours of duty during enlistment and/or career if you remained until retirement. I stayed, got commissioned in MSC in 1960 and retired in 1972 at NavHosp St.Albans, N.Y. Have seen lots of reunion notices about MSTS ships of our period but not the Greeley or McRae. Anyone interested?
Keywords: Get reaquainted with any of the military personnel on the Greeley and McRae especially hospital corps 1950-1951.

I found a great site that you may wish to pass on. It's the military sea
transportation society and it will bring back many memories to those
who rode a troopship to and from Korea. I know it did for me and I will
never forget the (Buckner) and the (Meigs).

Nothing on the troopships that took part all thru the Korea event?
They were operated by M.S.T.S (Military Sea Transportation Service) and
the Navy is not wild about addmitting that anyone other than they, know
how to operate ships.
When Korea started, the Navey was desperatley short of experienced,
qualified, seagoing types.
They created a seperate operation called Military Sea Transportation
Service and turned all of the troop transports over to them to operate.
M.S.T.S then crewd thjese ships with Merchant Marine officers and seamen
contracted to work by the trip.
The only Navy people on board were the medical staff and a few (about
15, officers and men) to handddle the loading and unloading of the
troops.
The Merchant Marine officers and men worked for the Navy as Civil
Service employees.
The arrangement worked very well, and there was no conflict between the
two services that I am aware of.
For instance When we returned to San Francisco after a trip, I was
releived as Third Officer, and told to report to Treasure Island Damage
Control School. When I did, I and a group of others, both Navy and Civil
Service, were given a crash 12 week course in damage control and
nuclear decontamination procedures. After the course, we returned to our
respective ships) General E.T. Collins for normal duty. After several
more regular runs, SF to Yokahama to Inchon, we were detached from our
regular run and attached to the Atomic Energy Commission and served as a
hotel ship for the personnel on Eniwetok during the first of the H Bomb
test.
As the Korea war startedf to wind down most of the Civil Service people
left the Navy employee and went on to other interests.
