Best Moment Watch the battleships on Sunday afternnoon and getting our two cans of beer or sell them for $5.00 fire on Wonsan Harbor, Korea. We used say their goes a new Cadillac when the 16' fired the guns.
Worst Moment When we got gassed by the Army who was watching the Prisonner of War (Koreans) in the tank deck. We loaded them up in Pusan Korean into pens made by the Army Engineers and when we got to Inchon, Korea about 3 in the morning the Koreans started a little riot and the got gassed right along with us and we ran topside and we didnt notice at the time we was almost next to a Hospital Ship (I think it was the Haven) and here we are in our underwear and the nurses on the Haven looking at us.
