(The following excerpts are taken from the 1953 USS Helena CA-75 Cruise Book. Title--1953 Review)
On August 4, 1953 we put to sea; destination: Yokosuka, Japan, and our fourth tour of duty in the Far East since 1950.
Pictures within the links below are recently scanned from 35mm colored slides and have not been seen before.
We were the first cruiser to make that many tours over there during the Korean deal.
