Comments: Served on the USS Deliver ARS 23 from November 1952 until January 1955. Was an IC Electrician and worked with the Electrician Mates. Was in Pusan Korea when cease fire was announced in July 1953. Was working on the Cornhusker ship that had gone aground and broke in two. After the Deliver I served on the USS Passumpsic AO 107 for about one year before getting out.

The USS GRAPLE is (ARS-7), a Diver class rescue/salvage ship. I served
on her sister ships, USS GRASP (ARS-24) & USS BOLSTER (ARS-38).
The salvage navy was heavily engaged in the Korean War, close in, and
often under fire. They provided salvage support to the Army, Navy,
Air Force & Marines, Search & Rescue, UDT & special ops operations,
towing, interdiction/patroling, Humanitarian and many other tasks.
I have listed below the records of the eight Diver Class ARS's that I
have certain knowledge of their participation in the Korean War. Many
of them were also WWII and Vietnam veterans.
In the Salvage Navy, we understood ARS not to mean Auxiliary Rescue &
Salvage, but rather "Always Ready Ships". If there was a dirty job to
do, we were the one's to call upon. We paid for this respect in sweat
and blood.
See: Ship History
USS DELIVER (ARS-23)
Displacement. 1,441; lenght 213'6"; beam. 39'; draft. 14'8"; speed. 15
k.; complement. 120; armament. 2 40 mm.; class. Diver
During the Korean War, Deliver sailed on 22 June 1951 for Sasebo,
arriving 6 July to join the United Nations operations. She gave
essential salvage and repair services both at this base and in Korean
waters until returning to Pearl Harbor 2 March 1952. She returned to the
west coast briefly in the fall of that year, then served again in the
Far East from 23 April to 19 December 1953 and from 21 June to 2
November 1954.
Deliver received one battle star for World War II service and three for
Korean War service.
