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!

It was Felix the Cat holding a mine in one hand and a broom in the other. If anyone could provide me with a copy, I would appreciate it. Also, the sign they put up on Wonson beach read "This beach is all yours thru courtesy of mine squadron three." Any info or photos would be appreciated.

Comments: I'm looking for anyone who might have known my dad. He would have served on the Kermit Roosevelt in the mid- to late 50's as a mechanic of some sort. Sadly, he died in 1994. I have two stories I remember from him- One of an incident involving a collision or near collision with a Chinese vessel in the China sea and the other an accident in which he broke his neck in a fall while attempting to climb into an upper bunk bed.
I know he was very young when he served. If any of this rings a bell, I'd love to hear some more of the stories. Thanks all.

I served on the Kermit from Jan 50 till sometime in 53. I will be very
interested in hearing from anyone that was on the ship at that time.
I got a brief history of the ship off the web a few nites ago. They
mentioned our support of minesweepers in Oct/Nov 50 but did not mention
taking the survivors from minesweepers Pirate and Pledge when they were
sunk by mines.

Hi:
Finally got my stuff together (read found my diary) so here is what the
Kermit did during Korea while I was aboard:
Our primary mission all the time in Sasebo and Korea was supporting the
minesweepers.
8 Oct 1950 Arrived in Wonsan to support Minesweepers and were there
until 17Nov 50. During that time the USS Pirate and the USS Pledge were
sunk in the inner harbor at Wonsan. I don't remember about deaths but
we did take the survivors. They hit mines within minutes of each other.
Also during this time a Japanese wooden (we call it a bumboat) boat hit
a mine and killed whoever was aboard. Another happening was one
destroyer ramming another destroyer. I don't remember their names but
they did a pretty good job. I have a couple of pictures and the bow of
one was pushed back till the forward 5inch was hanging in the air. The
other can had a pretty good gash amidships.
We put on temporary repairs and they left.
On a humerous note - We were a little paranoid about drifting mines and
one of the lookouts spotted something in the water right after the movie
one evening. We went to Genral Quarters put the searchlights on it and
fired a lot of rounds from the twenties, forties, rifles, and pistols
and never touched it. It finaly bumped up against the side of the ship
and it was an empty five gallon milk container. Good thing it wasn't a
mine.
The night before the landings on Wonsan some of the guys put a sign on
the beach saying "The beach is yours courtesy of ComMinRon3."
From 13 to 23 Dec 50 we we were in Hungnam North Korea assisting in the
troop evacuation.
Guess that is the extent of my knowledge about the Kermit and Korea.
Thanks for the opportunity to submit this. Been a long time since I
have actually sat down and thought about the Kermit. Considering that I
was just 18 when I went aboard and 21 when I left you might say I grew
up on her. She was a slow (9.2 knots), round bottomed blunt nosed ugly
old lady but I have very fond memories of her.
Thanks

They are twins and he believes they came from Idaho. I have been

wrote to him, but no response. They all served aboard during them
same time.
