I served aboard the USS Corson in  1953-54. You may want to add it to
your list of navy ships. We set up seadromes in the Sea of Japan and
offshore between Taiwan and China in support of seaplanes (U.S. and
British) which gathered intelligence on N. Korean shipping. I finished
my tour of duty aboard the USS Prairie -a destroyer tender.(1955)
