USS Hoquiam Pf-5

Autor Mark Douglas
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Lee Harrison Stewart, seaman apprentice and seaman, USN-EV, served on the USS "Hoquiam" (PF-5) as a radioman during the first two years of the Korean "Conflict" (later labeled a "war.") In this third book in his series on the USS "Hoquiam" PF-5, he brings the experiences of young sailor in the 1950s to life. The "Hoquiam, " after being recommissioned in Yokosuka, Japan, sailed in harm's way off the east coast of North Korea. It participated in all the east coast landings and the Hungnam evacuation. This story begins where "Road to Hungnam" ended-back in Yokosuka on New Year's Eve, 1950, for a few weeks of pier-side overhaul, as the crew winds down from Hungnam. There is hard work preparing the ship for a new assignment to Task Force Ninety-Five off Wonsan, North Korea. Still, there's time for romance and hijinks on liberty in Yokosuka and later in Sasebo, Japan. The "Hoquiam's" crew sees a full range of work in the next assignment period-including work they detest with the Service Force, firing remote-controlled target aircraft for other ships to shoot at, days spent on submarine patrol (when they doubled as targets for the North Korean or Chinese gunners in Wonsan caves), convoy escort duty, and the best assignment of all-shooting at the potbellied narrow-gauge trains coming down from Mongolia. Eventually, the crew of the "Hoquiam" again sails for Yokosuka and prepares for yet another trip to the Korean bomb line.
