She was mined in Korean waters and took heavy casualties among the Quartermasters and Signalmen. I was there when she was brought along side the Bryce Canyon to be repaired. That's all I can give you about them, off the top of my head. Your questions might trigger other memories, however. Phil Carlson AD36 n div@AOL
