U.S.S. Karin AF33

Comments: My husband Joseh T. Mohar (retired) was an engineman serving aboard the Karin from May 1951 to January 1954. I found a few photo slides of men named Bridges, Cassidy and Fred Barton. Also, some beautiful sunsets and a picture of brooms! One of our daughters is named Karin because Joe liked the spelling of the name. His picture is on the Navy Memorial site.

Served 1953-1956

Comments: Served on the Karin form 1953 til July 1956. Home port when I came aboard was San Francisco, about 6 months later home port was moved to Pearl. It made Island runs most of the time I was aboard, Eniwetok, Kwajalene, Midway, Wake, Johnston Island etc. Early in 1956 we went to Sasebo Japan then to French Indo China, (Vietnam) we hauled food for the transports that were moving Vietnamese to the south. We spent 4 glorius days in Hong Kong on our way back to Pearl, I was discharged in July 1956. I was an engineman 2nd class, the engine was a Nordberg 6 cylinder diesel the ship had a cruising speed of 11.8 knots, it took 23 days to go from Hong Kong to pearl. The skippers name at that time was Van Horne, the engineering officer was Milpointer and was replace by Houser, the exec was Redifer III, I thought he was a prick. Some of the names I remember are Simonsen, Rasmussen, Carter, Woodall.

USS Karin AF 33

Comments: Onboard six months 1957. She was home ported at Pearl Harbor, T.I. Ship visited New Zealand after crossing the equator and a super great shellback party. 3/4 of the cruise was made with 3 of the 4 cylinders in operation. Lube oil failure to No. 3 cylinder. Great liberty, good feeder and duty. Have great respect for her mission with the US Navy.
