inchon landing,of the rescuing sailors from another ship.he was wounded on board
the comstock in `50,and evacuated to california for hospitalization. he mentioned to
meof the period at sea when the north korean navy claimed the comstock sunk. the
fighting c or the mighty c, the galloping ghost of the korean coast. he was proud of his
serving the navy as a petty officer electrician. i also remember one of his mates, kelly ,

Comments: I was a Marine with HMM 164 and sailed from Okinawa to Danang
aboard the Comstock when it took my CH46 A from Kadina back to
d'nam after the MOD program. I met up with an old friend and
buddy from St. Louis, Bayless High School who was a SEAL with
UDT 12, John T. 'Smokey' Young who happened to be on the ship.
There was another Navy guy with whom I befriended, Mike
C.Ferrell. We lost our engines in the middle of the South China
Sea on Thanksgiving so I spent the day in my rack at the water
line sick as a dog. The Comstock had a flat bottom and rocked
like a Tilt a Whirl even on a good day. Without engines, it was
a roller coaster ride for sure. Anyone remember or recall either
of those two fellah's. We played football in the Well Deck as I
remember.

Prior to leaving for this assignment, the Admiral told me to be sure and take the time to read the ship's log, particularly regarding an earlier incident in "south Korea". The trip back took two weeks. When I returned to the Mt. McKinley, the Admiral told me that the relieved skipper was Cdr. Frederick R.
