Comments: I went aboard the Yorktown in San Francisco and stayed aboard her until May of 1956 where Ileft her in Sasebo for discharge. I question one comment I read. I distinctly remember the Yorktown flying some combat operations in Korea when we first arrived. Was I dreaming? My DD214 indicates we were in Korea in 1952 during or just after the peace talks.

NOTE: THE USS YORKTOWN (CV-10) WAS IN THE RESERVE FLEET DURING THE KOREAN WAR, AND NOT FULLY COMMISSIONED UNTIL FEB. 1953. SHE REACHED THE KOREAN WAR ZONE TWO MONTHS AFTER THE ARMISTICE.
USS YORKTOWN (CV-10)
(dp. 27,100; 1. 872' 0"; b. 93'0"; e.w. 147'6"; dr. 28'7", s. 32.7 k. (tl.); cpl. 3,448; a. 12 5", 32 40mm., 46 20mm., ac. 80+; cl. Essex)
Yorktown remained in reserve for almost five years. In June of 1952, she was ordered reactivated, and work began on her at Puget Sound. On 15 December 1952, she was placed in commission, in reserve, at Bremerton.
Her conversion continued into 1953 and she conducted post-conversion trials late in January. On 20 February 1953, Yorktown was placed in full commission, Capt. William M. Nation in command.
The aircraft carrier conducted normal operations along the west coast through most of the summer of 1953. On 3 August, she departed San Francisco on her way to the Far East. She arrived in Pearl Harbor and remained there until the 27th at which time she continued her voyage west. On 5 September, the carrier arrived in Yokosuka Japan. She put to sea again on the 11th to join TF 77 in the Sea of Japan.
The Korean War armistice had been signed two months earlier; and, therefore, the carrier conducted training operations rather than combat missions. She served with TF 77 until 18 February 1954 at which time she stood out of Yokosuka on her way home.
