Comments: Expecting to hear from some of you!!! I made four (4) trips to Korea aboard the Helena.
Keywords: Went aboard Helena on July 5, 1950 at Long Beach, CA. Straight from boot camp Company 052 in San Diego, CA. Two of us was assigned to the 4th Division, John L. Byrd and I. Later, I transferred to Gunnery Office as Yeoman. Left ship in 1952 to attend Class "A" Yeoman School but returned to ship after completing school. Surely, there is still some of you guys that I was with still living. Would like to hear from any of you with by e-mail or snail mail.

I was the coxswain on the starboard whaleboat and also ran the liberty party boats when we anchored out. Hong Kong with an LCM was a real trip. I must have run over a half dozen sampans. NO NOT REALLY. Hey! if Albert Clark is still alive I have (1) question, do you remember that 38 Dodge we bought in Long Beach and then drove back home on leave? We dropped off shipmates from Arizona to Miss. your home before me and Charlie Ebersole drove on up to WV. Would love to hear from anyone on board at that time.

My name is Matthew Norwood. My Grand-Dad is Melvin Roenfeldt. He served
aboard the USS Helena CA-75 frome December 1948 to May 1952. He is a
member of the USS Helena Association Located at 596 West Huntington
Drive, Arcadia, CA 91007.
Apparently this organization is expanded to include all mariners who
serve aboard USN ships with the name "Helena".
He was a Fire Control Technician. I told him that I would take some
time to search the internet for former shipmates and tell them about the
organization. You can call him at (714) 894-8539. In his eyes and
voice you can feel the sea and the times when he talks about his stint
in the Navy, and it's my honor to listen.

were 6" 38 guns. This should be changed to 5" 38 mounts.

Thank you for your E mail. I heard about your site from a
fellow who was on the U.S.Helena (CA75) at the same time I was
aboard. I don't remember him since he was in the engine room and
I was on deck but we got together recently.
I found out that there was a web site for the Helena and thru
that found your site.( ain't "the net" grand). I was aboard the
Helena form July 1949 to Aug. 1952.
I would like to say "thanks" for maintaining a site for the
Korean Vets!!! I'm sure that a lot of guys, like myself, get a
kick out of looking up old friends and finding answers to querys
they have regarding that time in their lives.
Best regards and keep up the good work.
