The Year 1952 – Timeline & Shipmates The Year 1952 – Timeline & Shipmates (The 7 changes since the Jan 2019 draft are shown in red.) CO: Edward P. Madley, CDR; before Oct 51 - Nov 53 XO: LCDR Everett J. Bondesen, LCDR; Feb 51 - Apr 52 New XO: Walter P. Smiley, LCDR; Apr 52 - Oct 53 Known officers (rank shown is highest while onboard): William James Cox, LT James Radja, LTJG M.T. Ford, LT Samuel Rogers, LTJG Posey Martin, LT Homer Skelton, LTJG (first name?), Piazzio, LTJG Clifford Suer, LTJG Lester Wittenberg, LTJG 1952 USS COLLETT Timeline Legend: CDD = http://www.multied.com/Navy/destroyer/Collettdd730.html - via Art Horsch. DBD = “20th Century Day by Day” book. PD = 1952 Personnel Diary (a USN document) via Chuck Kiesling. WD = Webster’s Encyclopedic Dictionary. Events: (Korean War: 25 Jun 1950 to 27 Jul 1953 – per WD.) COLLETT’s third tour of duty [beginning in early in Nov 1952] is less eventful than the second. She serves as part of the screen for Task Force 77, spends some time with British carrier elements off the Korean west coast, throws shells into target areas on both coasts, destroys floating mines, and generally keeps herself busy in a destroyer’s capacity as “jack of all trades” – per a 1964 version of “History of USS COLLETT” ++ Jan ++ January – COLLETT is in WESTPAC. COLLETT’s second tour of duty in the Korean War continues: Duties include screening TF 77 as it conducts air strikes on the Korean east coast, ASW training off Okinawa, patrolling the Taiwan Strait, & conducting shore bombardments along the Korean coast – per CDD. 30 Jan – Take passengers onboard – per PD. ++ Feb ++ Early Feb – COLLETT’s second tour of duty in the Korean War ends – per CDD. 06 Feb – Gain a day crossing International Date Line going east toward Pearl Harbor– per PD. 11 Feb – *COLLETT returns to San Diego – per a 1964 version of “History of the USS COLLETT” *Get underway – per PD. 17 Feb – Disembark passengers – per PD. 18 Feb – At San Diego, CA – per Ed Shumer in Mar 2010.

Per Chuck Kiesling in May 10, actually the WASP ran over the HOBSON. To make sure it did not happen in TF77 when she got there in 1953 her radio call sign was CAN OPENER. She almost got us when a boot ensign used relative bearing instead of true bearing for change of station to launch aircraft. 29 Apr – Air France plane attacked by Soviet fighter plane between Frankfurt & Berlin – per DBD. 30 Apr – PDs signed by LCDR W.P. Smiley (XO). ++ May ++ May – COLLETT is based at San Diego – per Ed Shumer in Mar 2010. ++ Jun ++ June – COLLETT is based at San Diego for the entire month – per Jim Rigdon in Apr 2010.

NOTE 1: Per Jim Rigdon in Apr 2010, omitted “crossing the International Date Line in June 1952 & the beginning of COLLETT’s third tour of duty in the Korean War” in Jun 1952. NOTE 2: Per Jim Rigdon in Apr 2010, omitted the phrase “COLLETT continues third tour of duty in the Korean War” in Jul - Nov 1952. NOTE 3: The following also occurred sometime in 1952 per John Speranza. We made port in Sasebo, Hong Kong, & we were supposed to go to the Philippines to spend Christmas, but we were escorting the USS ROCHESTER & she decided to go to Hong Kong so we went to Hong Kong. We also went to Chica Jima to help restock Naval Personnel there. We circled Nan Do Island & in the morning the lookouts saw a floating mine. So we shot at it with small arms, but that was a joke. Then they put the 40's in single fire & that was another joke, finally they put the 40’s in full auto & blew the thing up. We also ran into a typhoon in the China Sea. That was when I broke my wrist falling against the lathe in the Electrical Shop. We also picked up a downed airman off the N. Korean coast. In Sep 10, Everett Bondesen added: The carrier directed the aircraft to ditch near the COLLETT; a helo from the carrier picked up the pilot from the ice cold water and delivered him to COLLETT. After reviving him with a hot water bath, the grateful American pilot gave his side arm to the CO & yellow life raft to the XO.) In Jan 11, Gerald Gardner added (with reference to a newspaper article via google.com): Nan Do Island was used as a prisoner of war camp located off the East coast of South Korea. Our duty was to patrol between the Island and mainland to prevent any attempt by North Korea to rescue their soldiers. It was very cold. This is when ice formed on the bow of the ship, making it bow heavy. Volunteers chipped at it. We were issued extreme cold weather gear. I still have a pair of wool socks and face protector. We also did shore bombardment when relieved of patrol duty. This is the only time we were fired at during my deployment that I can remember. I think there were three shots observed. We departed the scene at flank speed. I was on the landing party that was to go ashore as spotters for shore bombardment. I operated the portable hand-held radio. If my memory is correct, we departed the ship for the shore but were called back, I believe because either we could not find a safe place to land or the sea too rough. It was the scariest hour or so of my entire career. NOTE 4: Per Chuck Kiesling in 2010, there were 120 shipmates on board for the entire year of 1952, however, per the PD, 496 shipmates served for some time during the year. Chuck believes this is the year that the stick mast was replaced with the tripod mast. Also, DEHAVEN, MANSFIELD, & SWENSON had their 40 mm gun mounts replaced with 3 inch 50 gun mounts, but COLLETT did not.

  • Timelines & Shipmates of 1950-1955
    USS COLLETT – Timelines & Shipmates of 1950-55 (Compiled with the help of many COLLETT shipmates) History of the Ship Prior to 1950 The USS COLLETT is named in honor of LCDR John Austin COLLETT, a naval aviator whose TBF aircraft was lost in the fierce battle of Santa Cruz in the Pacific on 26 October 1942. The keel was laid by the Bath Iron Works in Bath, Maine on 16 Oct 1943 as a 2200-ton Sumner class destroyer; 376 feet in length, 40 feet abeam. The COLLETT was commissioned on 16 May 1944 at the Charlestown Navy Yard, Boston, MA. She remained in continuous commission as an active ship of the fleet and saw action in WWII and the Korean War providing gunfire support, radar picket patrol, anti-submarine patrol, and carrier escort. Beginning in 1946, COLLETT alternated between Cold-War WESTPAC cruises as a member of the Seventh Fleet and local operations along the west coast of the US – per “Welcome Aboard” Brochures and Cruise Books. Overview of 1950-1955 The USS COLLETT participates actively in the Korean conflict; she performs missions similar to those of WWII. On 19 Sep 1950, COLLETT is part of the “Sitting Duck” Squadron in Inchon Harbor. Following the Korean War, COLLETT continues to alternate between WESTPAC cruises and local operations along the west coast of the US, spending about 6 months on each side of the Pacific each year – per the “Decommissioning Ceremony” and a 1964 version of “History of the USS COLLETT.” In 1950, Harry S. Truman has been President since 1945 and remains so until 1953.

    Military History Anniversaries 16 thru 30 April Events in History over the next 15 day period that had U.S. military involvement or impacted in some way on U.S military operations or American interests Apr 16 1738 – American Revolution: Blamed for the loss of the 13 colonies » Henry Clinton, the future commander in chief of British forces charged with suppressing the rebellion in North America, is born in Newfoundland, Canada. Henry Clinton Henry Clinton’s father, George, was the royal governor of Newfoundland at the time of his birth. He was made the royal governor of New York in 1743, and Henry spent eight years in that colony before moving to England and taking a military commission in the Coldstream Guards in 1751. By 1758, Henry Clinton had earned the rank of lieutenant colonel in the Grenadier Guards. He continued to distinguish himself as a soldier during the Seven Years’ War and, in 1772, achieved two significant feats for a man born in the colonies–the rank of major general in the British army and a seat in Parliament. Clinton’s part in the War of American Independence began auspiciously. He arrived with Major General William Howe and, after the draw at Bunker Hill, served in the successful capture of New York City and the Battle of Long Island, which earned him the rank of lieutenant general and membership in the Most Honourable Order of Bath as a KCB, or Knight Commander of the British Empire, which conferred to him the title of Sir. After Howe performed poorly at Saratoga and was demoted, Clinton was promoted to commander in chief of Britain’s North American forces in 1778.
