Kobe, Japan 1953
After leaving Wonson harbor, we patrolled the Korean coast. We had liberty in Sasebo. A few days later we went back on patrol. FN Fred G. D. Hicks from Tennessee had been aboard FRANK E. EVANS since 8 May 1953. On 10 November 1953, FN Hicks was on watch in the after fire room with BT3 James H. Burnett and FN Alex Sanchez. They were getting ready to blow boiler tubes. FN Hicks started down the after fire room ladder. He slipped and fell head first. He was taken to sickbay where he died. He was placed in the freezer until the ship returned to port.
