Comments: I never knew much about what happened during my father's service from 1952-1955, as he was reluctant to talk about it. I don't quite know what the rules were then about talking about it when they came home. He shared a few personal experiences with me and we both wept..as it did him good to let some of the painful experiences out, and I'm glad he shared them with me. I wish I had more pictures of him on the ship, or any stories. I thought he had also mentioned he was on the USS Munson? He had a picture of that, but in the flood of 1993 we lost it somehow. I would like to see a picture of the ship with his crewmembers, or any other picture someone might have with him. His name was Fred Marvin Cole. Thank You

Comments: My husband Joseh T. Mohar (retired) was an
engineman serving aboard the Karin from May
1951 to January 1954. I found a few photo
slides of men named Bridges, Cassidy and
Fred Barton. Also, some beautiful sunsets
and a picture of brooms! One of our
daughters is named Karin because Joe liked
the spelling of the name. His picture is on the
Navy Memorial site.

Comments: Hello good people,
I have a lg pic of the ship I served on, the USS
Karin AF33 (measurement 43in x 43in). I would like to send you this pic if you would like it.
I can take it out of it's frame and mail it to you
in a tube if you have a place to display it. The
S.F. Museum called and they would take it but it
was Merchant Marine Ships they were interested in
which this is not. I will send you a sm pic of it
to see if you would be interested. Let me know.

Comments: Served on the Karin form 1953 til July 1956. Home port when I came aboard was San Francisco, about 6 months later home port was moved to Pearl. It made Island runs most of the time I was aboard, Eniwetok, Kwajalene, Midway, Wake, Johnston Island etc. Early in 1956 we went to Sasebo Japan then to French Indo China, (Vietnam) we hauled food for the transports that were moving Vietnamese to the south. We spent 4 glorius days in Hong Kong on our way back to Pearl, I was discharged in July 1956. I was an engineman 2nd class, the engine was a Nordberg 6 cylinder diesel the ship had a cruising speed of 11.8 knots, it took 23 days to go from Hong Kong to pearl. The skippers name at that time was Van Horne, the engineering officer was Milpointer and was replace by Houser, the exec was Redifer III, I thought he was a prick. Some of the names I remember are Simonsen, Rasmussen, Carter, Woodall.

Comments: Onboard six months 1957. She was home ported at Pearl Harbor, T.I.
Ship visited New Zealand after crossing the equator and a super great shellback party.
3/4 of the cruise was made with 3 of the 4 cylinders in operation. Lube oil failure to No. 3 cylinder.
Great liberty, good feeder and duty. Have great respect for her mission with the US Navy.
