Comments: My grandfather, Charles Smith served on the USS Perkins, years unknown to me, but I assume he was serving sometime in the late 50's and early 60's before his death in (I assume) 1962. I just want to know if anyone knew him, remembers him, would happen to have a picture of him or anything of the sort. Thanks for any information!

Cheryl Wood wrote on 2006-09-08 12:50:23.0

Comments: My uncle William C. Warwick was the coxswain onboard the Perkins DDR877 in 1950. I am currently typing his manuscript for a book about his experiences aboard ship and during the time he hitchhiked across country on leave. The book has much in regard to a Korean mission and life onboard ship during a difficult period. If anyone is interested in purchasing a copy of this book upon its release the first part of 2007, please email me and we will make sure a copy is made available. Also, if anyone wishes to get in contact with my uncle I will be most happy to contact him on your behalf so he can reconnect with old shipmates and those who would like to learn more about Naval history. Thank you all for being an important part of America's history and defense of our wonderful country. Regards!

I am a veteran of Korea, served in the US Navy aboard the destroyer
(radar picket) USS Perkins DDR877. We made numerous trips to Korea.

We were at Chosin to help escort our troops out.  I would like to hear 
from any of the  crew of the Perkins that served during that time.
