Bob Parker, USN 1948-1953 All of those Frigates (PF-XX) were used by the Russians during WWII.Then parked in Tokyo Bay to rust away. When the Korean War started they ordered them refurbished and recommissioned for duty. I went on board the Burlington PF-51 in the summer of 50. I believed we recommissioned it in the late summer or fall of 1950. I believe we were part of ComDesRon8, a part of the 7th Fleet. But that was a long time ago. We then went to Wonson Harbor and reported to SOPA. We spent our time going up and down the coast shelling trains and RR tracks. We also went to the mouth of the Yalu River with a destroyer one night to shell the Chinese. The lights of Vladavostok USSR were only about twelve miles away and very visible. We didn't have mush fire power, 3" deck mounted guns were our heaviest, and not gyro controlled. We couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a shovel if the water was rough. The one thing I do remember was we had about 189 men aboard and I was the only regular Navy. All the others were Reserves. I was the senior yeoman aboard (YN2).
