Comments: I would appreciate any information about post-armistice operations the USS Horace A. Bass may have been involved in off the east coast of North Korea during late 1953 to early 1954. Specifically, agent or small unit extraction from the beach. I am researching the service of my late father. Thank you--Chad Hill

Comments: My father was Ernest Erickson, I think he was a plank owner, and I think he was on the Bass twice. Anyone with any memories of him who would share them would be much appreciated. He died in 1983. He later served as skipper of the USS Uhlmann DD 687 in I think 1958 and 1959.

Comments: First time on the big water, Late October 1954. I didn't join the Navy and was nervous as hell. Then the captain addressed the 71 Marines he was to take from SoCal to Yokohama---leading a convoy. Saw the captain was a Mustang and immediately felt better. It was a rocky road and we went beyond the engineering point of no return a couple of times. But I'm still here and mighty grateful to that captain for hs seamanship.
