I have noticed that all the entries on this web site are referring to the Pirate as an AMS. There is a big difference. For more history on the USS Pirate, as well as photos and news clippings, you can check out my web site at www.usspirateam275-com Keywords: USSPirate,Minesweepers,sunkennavyships,WansonKorea, 1950 |

He is officially "MIA". Here is an exerpt from that entry about the sinking of the USS Pirate, as told to me by his mother and his sister. These were level- headed, no-nonsense women and they both told me the same story in 1965 or thereabouts: ". . .On 12 October 1950 His mother, Daisy Johnson, my grandmother; and his sister, my Aunt Mabel, in the farm back in Mt. Sterling, Kentucky, both had a "vision" of the ship sinking: they said they saw it in the blaze they had made in the fireplace against the autumn chill;-- saw men jumping from the deck as the ship was listing. As 1st machinist's mate, however, my father, like others belowdeck, drowned when the ship sank far too quickly. My Grandmother and my Aunt Mable both said they saw the ship going down;-- and then saw my father Adrian rise from the sea to the sky, clad all in white, to be caught safe in the arms of Jesus. They knew immediately he was dead, although it took the War Department six weeks to get the notice to them, and to his widow in Houston, Texas. They both told me this shortly before my grandmother died aged 84 in Columbus, Ohio. . ." My father [Adrian Warren Johnson] had gone all through WWII in the Pacific as a frogman. (My cousin, who also has an entry under my father's name, is misinformed; he was not the CPO of the USS PIrate, but 1st machinist's mate--he was very good with machines, and worked for International Harvester when he returned from WWII) After some harrowing adventures in the South Pacific, he came home unscathed to his wife in '45; and fathered me in 1948. When he was called up from the reserves to go to Korea in August 1950, he had a premonition he wasn't going to return; so instructed my mother how to manage affairs after he was gone. After receiving notice of his death, my mother received in the mail a posthumus letter from him; and the gift of a Japanese embroidered jacket for me. Keywords: Ships |
