The two British ships wound their way thirty miles up a narrow channel, fighting ten-knot tital currents much of the way. With the spotting assistance they needed all the way, from a U.S. Navy Patrol Squadron 6 Neptune aircraft based in Japan. The ships found one enemy steamer at the site.

PETER LEIBERT wrote on January 4, 2003 City and State: LA MIRADA CA Unit: FAWTUPAC, VP6, FASRON 112 Service or Relationship: NAVY VETERAN - KOREA Comments: I was with VP6 during the 51-52 period and flew as an ECM operator. We lost three aircraft during that tour. My first related assignment was to assist in scraping one that had run off the end of the runway in southern Japan after losing a lower jug on an engine. Later, I had just flown with the crew that lost an engine during a snow storm off of Korea where when they lost their lower jug. The theory of the day was that the radioman chief had been hit by equipment which came lose. The skipper actually had opened his hatch and stuck his head out and probably looked back in and saw the first radioman needed help. My understanding about the plane shot down on November 6th was mixed. I personaly had never flown over any part of Russia or China on any of my patrols, only water, water and more water, so I bought into the line that they were flying at least 25 miles off the coast like we were supposed to. If that was true, it would be difficult to expect to recover bodies during that time of the year. In hind sight, I am consider myself lucky that I was not in the PB4Y2 squadron that relieved us. They lost 3 planes during the two weeks we overlapped when relieved which killed some our pilots who were flying checkouts. Keywords: Lost Neptunes
