My ship, the Hoquiam, entered the War Zone 10/20/50, participated in amphibious landings at Wonsan, Iwon, Hungnam, Songjin, and Changjin (or Chongjin). Took part in redeployment at Hungnam. Worked up and down the coast looking for Targets of Opportunity: troops, bridges, trains, and trucks. Am writing an historical novel based on Hoquiam and the experiences there.
