USS Sarsi ATF-111 Sinking Assist

On Fri, 6 Nov 1998

Gentleman, 

I found no listing for this ship.It was sunk off Hungnam, China. 

Are you able to provide info on any survivors. I left the ship at noon
with two others for discharge. The ship was sunk that night while on
patrol.

My log shows that the Sarsi was sunk by a floating contact mine at
approximately 11:40 PM on the 27 August 1952. As I know it there were 92
in the crew of which 5 were lost. Two were trapped on board, one swam
toward shore and was shot, the Chief Qtr Master in cardiac arrest and a
drowning. The ship that I was on returning to Japan for separation was
the USS Platte AO 24. Other ships in the area at that time were the USS
Mount Katmia and the USS Boyd DD544. It was the Platte picked up the
survivors and returned them to Sasebo.

Thank you very much,

George Cornell
