The Rooks a Newport based destroyer left Newport RI September 1952 
for a world cruise and a tour of duty with Task Force 77 off the Korean
 Coast..We partoled the East coast off YANG-DO and one Daylight Mission 
into SONJIN to damage rail yards.We returned via the Suez canal to 
Newport April 1953.

The other ships in our Sqardon were the MILLER (535) Hancock, Hailey 
and The Rooks all desron 20..I guess this action is all but forgotten by 
the American Public.

Thanks for the Info and do appreciate your caring..

trying to contact fellow crew members.
