This is the first book of four in the USS
HOQUIAM PF-5 series: RESURRECTION, ROAD TO
HUNGNAM, HOCKY MARU, and KNOCK OFF SHIP'S WORK.

It is the continuing story of the USS HOQUIAM
PF-5 as seen through the eyes of a young
sailor, Lee Harrison Stewart. RESURRECTION is
the story of restoring an old ship to active
duty.

As the Korean War begins, the Hoquiam is a
rusting hulk in Yokosuka, Japan, Inner Harbor
awaiting sale to other nations or to the scrap
heap. Suddenly, there is a vital need for
anything that floats to help the US Army and
ROK Army in South Korea. Lee Stewart joins the
pre-commissioning crew to prepare the ship for
war. Resurrection ends when the crew is ready
to commission the ship. ROAD TO HUNGNAM begins
at the Hoquiam commissioning ceremony.
Unexpectedly, the Hoquiam is ordered to Wonsan,
North Korea for a couple of weeks and ends up
staying along the East Coast of North Korea
until December 24th at the end of the Hungnam
Redeployment. The Hoquiam is ordered back to
Yokosuka as this story ends New Year's Eve,
1950. HOCKY MARU begins the next day in
Yokosuka. The Hoquiam is ordered to Sasebo as a
Service Force non-combatant. After a brief
period, the Hoquiam returns to the North Korean
coast, continuing its war effort. KNOCK OFF
SHIP'S WORK continues the Hocky Maru story. The
crew fires hundreds of rounds of ammunition at
Chinese Communist and North Korean forces.
Abruptly, the crew is broken up and transferred
to other duties as the Hoquiam is sold to the
South Korean Navy as the ROKN Naktong PF65.
While all this has been going on, we also
follow Lee Harrison's romantic adventures in
the US and Japan.
