Comments: I think that you have a very nice web-site. I have been out for quite a while. I have been trying and looking for any way to get in touch with more guys from my past in the Navy. I have heard from Danny Lafever, David Pondegrass, Roy Ferdin, Mr. Eaton, and a few times with RMCS RYE-an amazing man he is. I probably will never be able to get rid of any of the effects from the military, I have just learned to learn from the bad and be greatful, thankful for the good. I most definitely now after I am out and have aged much more appreciative of all the guys whether close or from a different command than myself that I had encountered. They really tried to deal with and work with me-hot head. Since 1988, I had lived in Panola Texas from 7/88-10/89 and then lived in Bossier City Louisiana for the next 15 years. I am married for the first and only time and I have 2 beautiful girls and 3 incredible grand children. Since 2005, after the 2 hurricanes down south I have been living in Dallas Oregon. I would love to hear from you out there.

Hi,
I'm searching contacts with former US and UN Sailors who served in
Korean waters during Inchon and Wonsan invasions 1950.
I was aboard the French contribution FMS LA GRANDIÈRE, a frigate,
during this period. As a unit of the screening group, then of the
minesweeeping group in the Inchon approaches, we were some days
in the second half of september 1950 in protection of the USS
MISSOURI, escorted by US Destroyer, possibly USS MANSFIELD,
during a submarine threat in this zone where we dropped quite a
few depthcharges in company of HMS MOUNTS BAY (our British
companion...) who tried also to hit the unidentified submarine
target with her "hedgehog" bombs.
Did one of those bombs find its target that day, we were never
sure. Although some disturbance in the water following a second
attack was detected, wreckage indicating a possible kill, was
not. Further ASDIC searches with the assistance of RNZN TUTIRA
and USS ROWAN did not regain contact and the hunt was eventually
called off.
On researching the navies of North Korea and of their allies in
China it would appear neither had submarine capabilities at that
time but other sympathetic communist states most certainly did.
Now the cold war is over and the iron curtain down perhaps we may
find out if there was submarine activity in and around the Yellow
Sea at that time. Did the paths of the MOUNTS BAY, LA GRANDIÈRE,
TUTIRA and ROWAN and some "unfriendly" submarine cross and if so
did they return safely? Looking back to those events so very long
ago, we hope they return safely and in the fullness of time found
a safe anchorage in which to live out their lives in peace and
fulfilment...
About the French Navy's participation in this conflict, please
visit the website of my friend Karl Kristiansen USS MANSFIELD

has some accounts or anecdote relating with this good time when
we were younger, please write we soon.
