Brief Ship Activities

The USS ACHERNAR got underway for Korea about 6 days after hostilities
broke out.  We hauled parts of the First Marine Airwing to Japan.  On 15
September 1950, we hauled the Long Range Reconnissance Unit of the First
Marine Division into the invasion at Inchon.  We made quite a few trips
between Japan and Korea hauling supplies, and than participated in the
Wonsan invasion in late October.  In December 1950, we returned to the
United States escorting two destroyers that had hit mines during the 
Wonsan operations.  In early 1951, we transferred to the East Coast 
and became a member of the Atlantic Fleet Amphibious Force.

I can supply much more detail if you need it.

Thanks,
