| ROSE ALLAS wrote on September 3, 2008 CITY AND STATE: UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: My father, Arturo Allas of Imperial Beach CA, passed 9-JUL-04. I am his only daughter among 4 siblings - three older brothers. He is survived by his wife of 50 years, Antonina C. Allas and three sons, myself and five grandchildren. One grandson had made an entry in 2003 on this website - David Allas. Please share with us any memories or accounts you had with my father, Arturo Allas. He was a quiet man and rarely talked of this event in his life. We were very shocked he had survived such a tremendous and traumatic ordeal! Thank you! Keywords: |

EARLIER HISTORY OF YMS400 (MAGPIE) |
|
|
| C. FLETCHER BISHOP JR. wrote on October 22, 2000 CITY AND STATE: HOWEY-IN-THE-HILLS FL UNIT: SERVICE OR RELATIONSHIP: INTERESTED PERSON Comments: I served on YMS 400 in 1945 and 1946. It did sweeping duty in the Gulf of Paria, Trinidad along with YMS 312 and YMS 56 as well as excursions to Venezula and Aruba. After VE day we swept both ends of the Gulf for our own moored mines, thus clearing the Gulf. Upon completion of that task, disposal of 3 inch shells and depth charges resulted in injury to the ship and we dry docked for a month. We then (September) left Trinidad for the Panama Canal but did not sweep there for six months. We sailed directly up the west coast of Central America arriving in Newport Beach, CA for refitting at a private ship yard which could handle wooden-bottomed ships. We spent considerable time in Newport Beach before convoying to Pearl Harbor in the late fall of 1945. After adjustment to our magnetic gear we left for Guam and were immediately sent on to Leyte Gulf in the Phillipines. During the spring of 1946 we made several sweeping trips, one extended one to Ragay Gulf on Luzon and others along the western coasts of several other islands. When the bottom of the ocean opened up near Alsaka, a tidal wave forced us from port in Tacloban to the open sea. Already a top heavy ship, we had a harrowing experience riding out the swells. Soon after this I left the ship in early June 1946 and know nothing of it's subsequent duty. Keywords: Splinter Fleet |

Hi Ted, Yes the Toucan (AM-387) was was very much in Korea. I first went to Korea in USS Buck (DD-761) then transferred to Toucan in March 52 and we were among the last to leave. After the Armistise we were assigned along with 3 other minesweepers and a DE to patrol around Koji Do to prevent the Chinese or Russians from coming over and forceably taking the thousands of North Korean and Chinese POW's home against their will. We patrolled 63 days without a relief. When relieved we headed for Long Beach, Calif. and arrived in late November 1953. The Toucan has a very good war record for the number of mines swept, Railroad bridges destroyed, and number of Refugees/Pow's taken. Ed. I enlisted in Oct 1947 after serving 3 1/2 years in Merchant Marine during WWII. I was on a 3 year enlistment and when the Korean War started I was in USS BUCK in Inchon Harbor. I was involuntary extended and I beat the system. I reenlisted for 6 and stayed for 25. I am what is known in the Navy as a Mustang. That is an enlisted man that came up thru the ranks. I retired in 1973 as a LT. (O-3) after doing a couple of tours in Viet Nam. Keywords: Shipmates |
