Thomas Shanley

Comments: My Dad, Thomas H. Shanley Jr. was on the USS LSMR 412 1950-51? and am now just finding out about his tour of duty, and was curious to see if anyone knew him. Unfortunately he died at the age of 41 and I am trying to reconstruct what his time in the navy was like. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Comments: Served from Dec. 1950 to May 15 1952 when I was transfered at sea between Pearl and Midway to APA 45, HENRICO, with mean apendix, at the time I was EN3. Have seen Dick Kroeg in '55 and H.(Jack)Dempsey in '95. Jack pasted away a couple years back, in Oklahoma. I Found this page when searching for material for a book for the grandkid's family history. Was surprised at the interest in our "R". Merry Christmas. North.

THE FIRST DAYS - A DIARY BY WALTER FLANARY ET3 ON BOARD THE LSMR 412

2 SEPTEMBER,1952

SATURDAY, 30 AUGUST -AT 0830 WE LEFT SASEBO, JAPAN STEAMING TOWARDS DAIDO KO NEAR CHINAMPO KOREA, DAIDO KO IS A HARBOR ON THE WEST COAST OF KOREA ABOVE THE THIRTY-EIGTH PARALLEL.

SUNDAY, 31 AUGUST- WE ARE NOW STEAMING AROUND THE HORN OF THE KOREAN PENINSULA. FROM HERE WE WILL PROCEED NORTHWARD TO THE FORWARD AREA. CHO DO AND SOKU TO ARE TWO ISLANDS SITUATED ABOUT FIVE MILES OFF THE KOREAN MAINLAND, THEY ARE OCCUPIED BY THE UNITED NATIONS FORCES AND KOREAN GUERILLAS, OUR JOB IS TO SEE THAT THEY STAY THAT WAY. OF PRIME IMPORTANCE IS CHO DO FOR AN ARMY RADAR STATION IS LOCATED THERE.

MONDAY, 1 SEPTEMBER- AT 0830 WE HOVE TO AT TAEJONG, ANOTHER ISLAND OFF THE COAST. TAEJONG IS APPROXIMATELY FIFTY MILES BELOW THE OPERATING AREA. ANCHORED OFF THE ISLAND WAS THE ENGLISH CRUISER NEWCASTLE AND THE ENGLISH TANKER,WAKE SOVEREIGN, WE RE-FUELED FROM THE SOVEREIGN WHILE THE CAPTAIN AND THE COMMODORE(COMLSRDIV32) WERE IN CONFERENCE WITH THE TASK FORCE COMMANDER. AT NOON WE DEPARTED FROM TAEJONG FOR THE FORWARD AREA. AT ABOUT 1700 WE MOORED ALONGSIDE THE LSMR 527(WHO WE WERE TO RELIEVE) AND PROCEEDED TO EXCHANGE MOVIES AND LOADS OF SMALL TALK, AS SOON AS WE ARRIVED AN O.R.I. PARTY WENT ABOARD THE 7 BOAT. O.R.I. IS AN OPERATIONAL READINESS INSPECTION. CAN YOU IMAGINE SUCH AN INSPECTION JUST AFTER COMPLETING 14 DAYS ON THE FRONT LINE ? HERE STARTS WHAT PROMISES TO BE THE LIFE OF THE PARTY. THE ENGLISH ARE THE BOSSES UP HERE AND THEIR CALL SIGN IS "ABUSE ONE". IT WOULD SEEM AS IF THEY WERE USED TO DISHING OUT PLENTY OF IT, ABUSE THAT IS, WHILE WE WERE FOOLING AROUND MOORED TO THE 7 BOAT IT SEEMS THAT WE SHOULD HAVE BEEN PROCEEDING TOWARDS OUR STATION. SO OLD ABUSE CALLS AND SAYS, "IT'S HIGH TIME ONE OF YOU (THE 7 OR THE 12 BOAT) GETS STARTED FOR YOUR STATION. AS IF THAT WEEREN'T ENOUGH HE CALLS TEN MINUTES LATER-NEITHER OF US HAD MOVED AN INCH---- AND SAYS "TIME, MARCHES ON". WELL, I GUESS SOMEBODY FINALLY GOT THE IDEA THAT WE WERE SUPPOSED TO MOVE OUT BECAUSE A LITTLE AFTER SUNSET WE WENT TO 1A AND MOVED DOWN THE CHANNEL TOWARDS OUR STATION(1), WHEN WE WERE ABOUT HALF ~WAY DOWN ROUTE CIGARETTE(2) , ABEAM OF BANJO SHO , THE 7 BOAT CALLED AND SAID THAT THEY WERE BEING FIRED UPON. THE 7 WAS APPROXIMATEY 2OOO YARDS IN FRONT OF US, THEN THEY CALLED US AND TOLD US THAT THEY OBSERVED TRACERS ASTERN OF US, WE WERE GETTING SHOT AT AND WE DIDN'T EVEN KNOW IT· UPON REACHIWG OUR STATION BLACKBURN ANCHORAGE, WE ANCHORED AND SECURED FROM 1A TO CONDITION THREE. NOTHING EVENTFUL HAPPENED DURING THE NIGHT.

TUESDAY,2 SEPTEMBER - AT 0500 WE HOISTED, ANCHOR AND SAILED FOR THE DAYTIME ANCHORAGE. AND SO WE ANCHORED AND STARTED A REGULAR WORKING DAY.

(1)THE NORMAL PROCEDEURE WAS TO GO TO THE ANCHORAGE(STATION) AFTER DARK AND ANCHOR IN POSITION USING RADAR. THE NEXT MORNING THE NAVIGATOR(LT. SPITZ ?) WOULD CHECK TO SEE HOW CLOSE WE HAD MADE IT TO THE ASSIGNED LOCATION BY VISUAL SIGHTINGS.

(2) IT WAS MY INTENTION TO GET A COPY OF THE CHART WE USED FOR GOING ON STATION TO COMPLEMENT THIS DIARY. ALL THE SWEPT CHANNELS AND ANCHORAGES WERE NOTED IN COLOR WITH THEIR CODE NAMES. NEVER HOPPEN.

Japaneese Chart

Comments: Joe Goldwine, I had just been relieved on the search radar when that rock nearly got us. I slept on the starboard side and was in my bunk when it happened.The hole was beneath our compartment The deck raised up. In my shorts I appeared on deck armed with two combat knives and the 45 from CIC. The Japaneese chart had soundings every 16/th of an inch. The rock was shown, just a fly speck. Can't remember who relieved me, perhaps Wilson or Tafoya?

Glad to see the interest in the old 12 boat. I welcome any response and will try to dig up some memorabilia.

Comments: I was a 3rd Electricans Mate when the ship ran down that rock off the West Coast of Korea on Oct 30, 1952. We tried to sink it with our 5 inch but couldn't so we cap't ordered us to ram it. It's hard to sink a rock 20 feet high. Cap't though it was a sanpan. We spent 30 days in drydock in Sasabo fixing it up, best shore liberty we had in Japan.
