Hospital Ship Repose Among Korean War Heroes
The U S hospital ship Repose carried more than 750 wounded UN troops during a dangerous Chin Nam po run near Inchon in late November. Capt C H Perdue said the two and a half day mission filled the wards, with Navy nurses Lt Madge Atkins and Lt Eileen Farrell among the crew providing around the clock care. The ship returned to anchor in the Yellow Sea off Inchon after safely rescuing patients and evacuating them to stabilization or Japan.
