Knock Off Ship's Work

The narrative captures the life of Lee Harrison Stewart, a young sailor serving as a radioman on the USS Hoquiam during the early years of the Korean War. It vividly recounts the ship's recommissioning in Yokosuka, Japan, and its critical missions along North Korea's east coast, including notable landings and the Hungnam evacuation. This book offers a personal perspective on naval operations and the challenges faced by sailors in the 1950s, enriching the historical context of the conflict.
