Any one out there know where I can find info on what Butler class DEs were in the Atlantic During the Korean War?
I’m still trying to figure out which one to use in my dio along side the 351.

Thanks Gunny but unless I’m missing something that only tells me that the Wiseman was in Korea at the time along with the 3 ships hit by shore fire.
Actually Mark don’t know if you knew this or not but when the 351 was brought back in to service with the idea was that she would be going to Korea to draw out fire from the shore batterys.
In fact according to my grandfather some of the crew (including himself) believed this was still there destination up until they reached the Panama which he first thought was Japan.

Thanks Kenny.
Hadn’t seen that one before. Great site.

Hey Jacob. I bet if you join their forum, they could answer your question.
