Comments: Afriend of mine is dying of cancer and we want to begin to prepare a detailed book of his life. He remembers going from Seattle to Yokahama in July of 1951 in a troop ship with civilian personnel manning it, and with many men from the 101st Airborne Division on board. He also remembers the ship breaking down several times before clearing the U.S.We are trying to find the name of the ship if possible. He returned from Yokahama to Seattle in May of 1952 on a military transport. Again, we are trying to find the name of the ship. He just doesn't recall anything and he was the only person from his unit on the ship, sent to replace another sargeant

It was a calm evening and later there was a terrific crash and water came all the way down to the lower decks. Soldiers ran up the ladders thinking the ship was sinking, and sailors stopped them and everything was again calm. The next day there was on the starboard side from the bow to about 40 feet back the deck guard rail was missing . My question is WHAT HAPPENED??? This mystery has been haunting my dad for 50 years. thank you

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.
