Comments: My grandfather, Gerald "Jerry" Guthrie, was on the USS Hector. I'm not sure when - sometime from 1948-1952. I believe he was an EM. If anybody remembers him, please email me. I'm currently following in his footsteps in the navy (as a Nuke MM) and am trying to find stories about his life at sea. Thanks!

I have notes of his grandfather, Arthur Robert Johnson being a commanding officer on the USS Vulcan from 1953 to 195 when he was sent to Yokohama. I also have a note that the ship moved from Newport, Rhode Island to Norfolk in 1953.

Can anyone confirm this information? Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Comments: My father, Charles Ralph DeBord served on the USS Hector somewhere between 1944-1946. I know he went to Saipan while on board. I would like to hear from anyone who remembers him. He passed away 8/22/2001, and I am trying to get any information available. Someone on board was very kind to my dad concerning a personal matter at home while he was in the Navy. He never found out who the person was to thank him. His superiors knew about the favor and I feel certain that there would be a record somewhere, but I haven't a clue how to begin my search. Does anyone know what I'm talking about or know where I would begin to try and find out more? Any help would be greatly appreciated! God bless you!

Congratulations on your Korean War site.  It is my first visit.  I have
been e-mailing with a fellow Navy vet and we are trying to find info
about the USS Hector AR-7, I thought maybe I had found something in
your site under the US Navy vessel listings, I was disappointed not to
find a listing for the USS Hector.

I served two tours on her in Korea from 1951-1954.  We were awarded
the Korean, UN medals with two stars.

Just a little Navy pride showing. Thanks and again your site is great.
