From rubber landing boats to picket boats to minesweepers, smaller
support vessels did much of the work of the Korean War, and endured
many of the dangers and hardships. Rarely mentioned in histories of
the war, they served functions essential to keeping the United
States Navy and the United Nations partners in active duty. This
volume delivers an overview of the various kinds of vessels
involved, the difficulties of mobilizing the aging American fleet
at a time when a significant downsizing had been expected, and the
design and specification considerations of the support vessels
needed for the new war effort. It lists the individual support
vessels and details the degree of their involvement, often
providing photographs as well as comments from men who served
aboard the ships.
