I would like to corespond to the people he talked of, and share some pics in his memory.
i know if he where here now he'd be all over this Navy site. Unfortunetly there wasn't an internet at his time of passing.
So i'd like to do for him what he'd probably do .

I do have a photo of him on the ship and on the back it said Subic Bay the Phillipines. Hope I spelt that right. There is another photo of him with 2 other men, unknown. I do know that his home base was Hawaii, but was sent overseas at some point. I do not have any other information on him, I heard that the records were destroyed in the fire in St. Louis. He was 5 ft 10 in, dark sandy brown hair, and green eyes. He had 3 tattoos, two on his shoulders with my moms name in one (Arlene) the other with his name (Denny) then he had a diamond on his left arm where his watch would cover. His nik name was The Breeze.

Comments: The Southerland operated around korea for nine months. She was in Inchon Harbor before and during the invasion. We bombarded Wolmi Do, and later that day, 15 Sept. 1950, the city of Inchon in preperation for Marine landing of 1st Marine Division.We replaced the USS Collett on her position after she got hit nine times and couldn't fire her guns. This happened in the early morning hours around 0200. During the actual invasion the Southerland received two hits, causing four casualties. (minor shrapnal wounds)The Southerland was awarded the Korean Prsidential Unit Citation for her actons that day. We remained in Inchon Harbor until 6 October 1050, when we rejoined the main task force operating around Korea while conductig continued carrier air strikes.
