PAUL BURKET wrote on July 28, 2007 City and State: OKLAHOMA CITY OK Unit: USS BISBEE PF-46 Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN Comments: I was on the Bisbee from August 1950 until April 1951. I remember that we blew up a mine when we were Harbor Entrance Control Vessell at Wonson, was probably November or early December 1950. We left Wonson dragging anchor when they lost the port and then we went to Hungnam until just before Christmas 1950. After Inchon landing we went to Sasebo for repairs and then to Manilla where I left for the states in May 1951 Paul Burket Keywords: PF-46 Bisbee 1951

DIV - POINCH, AT TIME OF D.COM, 1952 Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN Comments: I thought we got the sonar dome knocked off when we were practicing with the hedgehogs. They went off sooner than we the officers thought, our chart was measuring in meters, they figured it was fathoms. Did notcount the rounds we fired back at them in Wonson. How about the trip up to "Songin" when we dropped of the ROK marines behind North Korean lines, early 52. Keywords: Sparks

He told me about his time on the ship. The part I remember best is his saying that it appeared as if the Russians kept cattle on the ship from the shape it was in while being refurbished.

JAMES SIERS wrote on December 15, 2002 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I served on the USS Bisbee PF-46 from 1951/August until she was decommissioned, then went to the USS Burlington PF-51, I served on her till decommissioning and remember training part of a Thai crew and always thought that was where she went but now find out she went to Colombia, same as the Bisbee. I have many fond memories of PF duty, the comment about the main battery brings back memories in Wonsan harbor where upon recieving counter battery fire we replied with 272 rounds in 3 minutes with the shells landing anywhere from 500 or so feet from shore to 1500 feet up the mountain, not much for accuracy but we did burn the paint off all three 3" 50's.
