Comments: I sent a message earlier looking for information about my daddy who served on the USS Colahan from 1951 to 1955. I stated that he was in Sasebo Japan and that I know one person who served with him, Charles Mills. I however left out my daddys name: Tommie F. Jackson. He was from Kingston, TN. I'm sorry I left out that information earlier. Sincerely, Rhonda McClure

I spent "wonderful" time on the Colahan between Oct. 51 and early  1955.

We operated up an down the coast of Korea as part of Task Force 77 and 
did some costal bombardment.   We went  as far south as the Philippines
and Indochina as it was known then.  The Navy was an experience I shall
never forget or regret.
