My dad was on the Iowa during the Korean conflict, dropping those 16" shells. He always had a lot of sympathy for "the poor bastards ashore".

We lost a relative in the Korean War. He was killed in the explosion on the USS Walke in Korean waters in June 1951.
They didn’t know if the Walke was torpedoed or hit a mine laid by the Chinese.
