Korean operations

Comments: One Sunday morning we were up around Vladivostok, Russia. About 20 miles off-shore, and the Russians sent a few MIG's over to'check us out'. Immediately the Bon Homme Richard launched a few of their aircraft and the Russian and the U.S. planes checked each other out for a bit, the Russians went away and our guys landed back on the carrier.~~~Joseph V.Tipton, former ETSN, USS Missouri BB63, 1952-1953

Keywords: I was in the Electronics Repair Division ("T" Division) on board the USS Missouri BB63 in 1952-1953, When we were engaged in firing operations on the railroad yards at Wonsan and other ports, the USS Bon Homme Richard was most often the carrier that accompanied us, along with two heavy destroyers and sometimes a heavy cruiser. It was a real comfort to see that carrier not far away!
