Welcome to the USS Ingersoll DD-652 Guestbook Forum

Years Served: …This post is to let others who served with my dad on the USS Ingersoll, that he sadly passed away this morning at the age of 70. He was with his wife Jane and his daughter Lisa and son-n-law Tony at his bedside.

Years Served: 1952-1953…Went aboard the Mighty I right out of boot camp (Great Lakes) I left her Personnel man 3rd class after going to Korea via the Suez and returning thru the Panama Canal. Did 2 trips to Wonsan Harbor and the 38th Parallel with 2 battle wagons, the New Jersey and the Wisconsin. We were assigned to picket duty the entire deployment for the USS Lake Champlain CVA39. Lt. Mills was the XO during my time aboard. Greatest officer I ever served under.

Years Served: 1951 – 1955…I was in ‘E’ Division, Damage Control. Always will remember the world cruise (approximately 15 ports), including a 8 month tour in Korea. In Korea, we were assigned to escort the USS Manchester for 8 days off the coast of North Korea (Wonsan Harbor, Song-jin). Also enjoyed going thru the Suez Canal on the return trip home. I would enjoy hearing from anyone on my ship – Phone: 386-532-8779
