Comments: My dad, Karl McCartney, was one of the flagmen who was hurt when the Barton hit the mine. He was in the crow's nest at the time, and was thrown to shore. He was MIA for 3 days, but was found and returned to the states. He received a purple heart and left the service.
I don't know if anyone would remember him, but I would love to hear from anyone who might. He would be thrilled to hear from anyone who may have been in the signal gang with him. He has a nice photo of them that was taken on the ship. He also has a photo of their captain.
Please contact me if you have photos or other information that he would be interested in - or if you want to contact him!
Thanks!

Comments: I would like to hear from anyone who remembers my dad.He passed away March 6,1988 and I realized too late I never learned much about his time in the service. He never talked about much. We have alot of old photos and World Book of his but I would really like to hear from someone who knew him. I believe he told me he was a fireman. He was from North Dakota and I believe he said people used to call him Swede even tho he wasn't Swedish he was Norwegian.He was a good man and I miss him very much.If you knew him I would like to hear about him.

Comments: My father served on the Barton during the Korean War. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers my father. He passed away 3/6/88 and I realized too late I should have tried harder to learn more about his service to his country. He never really ever talked much about it. He had 3 children and we have alot of pictures from time in the Navy also his World Book.

Finding men

Hi!
I'm looking for anyone that served aboard the USS Barton and any
information about the destroyer and if there are any reunions.
A month ago a man (that served aboard the USS Barton) e-mailed me with
his Tel number, unfortunately, I have misplaced this information during
my move.
I am trying to help my Dad in getting the USS Barton noticed because of
the extraordinary circumstances it went through during the Korean War
and the extraordinary men who kept her afloat!
The USS Barton (DD-722 Barton) was an Allen M. Sumner Class. It was
initially commissioned December 30, 1943 and finally stricken October 1,
1968. On October 8, 1969 it was sunk as target off Virginia.
One of the many stories; which I see as pretty significant, passed on to
me by my Dad is as follows:
While on their way to a distress call from another ship the USS Barton
hit a mine, which blew a hole so large that most of the side of the ship
was gone.
Any other time, a hole so large would have sunk a ship but the
expediency, knowledge and bravery of these men rebuilt the ENTIRE side
of the ship and not only kept her afloat during this process but
continued on their mission at 1 knot an hour!
Several men lost their lives, but through God's blessings much fewer
than expected were lost.
This story is pretty amazing to me and I feel these men should be honored
in some way. If possible, I would like to get a picture on the web
alongside the other destroyers. My Dad has several pictures and I am
encouraging him to write his stories.
Please contact me as soon as possible. Thank you.
God Bless,
Min

I am Co-Founder and Chief Recruiting Officer of the USS John R.
Pierce DD-753 Sailors Organization Inc. We have reunions every
year and in 98 it will be our 8th year.
Our flag ship was the Barton DD-722, Soley DD-707 and Strong DD-758
were also with us.
You mentioned our flag ship Barton but none of the rest of the squadron.
When the Barton hit the mine out at sea we were the ship that took on
the flag officers and brought them back to the States 3 months later.
I also believe that up to that date 6/52-9/52 we were the worst ship hit
by shore battery to that date. That happened on 8/6/52.
