From DANFS
Epping Forest was recommissioned 1 December 1950 and sailed along the
west coast for training until 2i May 1951, when she departed San Diego
for the troubled Far East.
Operating in support of UN forces until 7 February 1952, she returned to
the west coast for local training and exercises. From October 1952 to September 1953 she again deployed to the waters off Korea where she
supported minesweeping operations in Wonsan harbor, the first such use
of an LSD.
Epping Forest underwent overhaul in November 1953 and resumed her
station in the Far East during the following April. She participated in
amphibious operations at Okinawa and Korea, transported the refugees of
French Indo-China in the "Passage to Freedom" mission during the summer
of 1954 and engaged in exercises off the Japanese coast.
