Post-war Activity
After the end of the war, Karin carried supplies to occupation forces in the western Pacific. Early in November she steamed to the assistance of USS Bridge (AF-1) after the other store ship had struck a mine off Korea. After salvaging the ship's cargo and distributing it at Pusan and Jinsen, she got underway on the 22d for Seattle, Washington, arriving 21 December.
From 1946 to 1950 Karin made cruises from San Francisco to the mid-Pacific and the Far East, supplying the fleet with fresh and frozen provisions.

Famous quotes containing the words post-war and/or activity:
“Much of what Mr. Wallace calls his global thinking is, no matter how you slice it, still “globaloney.” Mr. Wallace’s warp of sense and his woof of nonsense is very tricky cloth out of which to cut the pattern of a post-war world.”
—Clare Boothe Luce (1903–1987)
“With two sons born eighteen months apart, I operated mainly on automatic pilot through the ceaseless activity of their early childhood. I remember opening the refrigerator late one night and finding a roll of aluminum foil next to a pair of small red tennies. Certain that I was responsible for the refrigerated shoes, I quickly closed the door and ran upstairs to make sure I had put the babies in their cribs instead of the linen closet.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
