Yes it certainly did.
As a 19 year old Electricians Mate 1st class, I served on HMS Comus 1949-1951.
Comus was part of the 8th Destroyer Flotilla based in Hong Kong.
We sailed for Korea the day the UN opened hostilities to assist South Korea repel
the invading North Korean Army.
Our duties included escorting aircraft carriers, picking up ditched pilots, bombarding
enemy shore targets, patrolling coastal waters looking for enemy supply boats.
In August 1950 we were attacked by two enemy aircraft, we were bombed and strafed with cannon fire which killed one stoker in No 1 boiler room.
We just about made it back to Kure in Japan (our Base).
We dry docked there for extensive repairs. After that we returned to Hong Kong
dockyard and into dry dock again for a full inspection of the Japanese repair job
which consisted of rebuilding the port side plates which had been blown in by the
bomb and replacing the ships sea boat which had been smashed, and various other
smaller items of damage. Then it was back to the war. shortly after this my relief
arrived on board and I returned to uk.
