[378] SMS disestablished 1 Dec 1951--concurrently MABS-33 and
MAMS-33 formed.

[379] No Exec listed after Montagne was detached sometime in
March 1951 until July 1951. Thompson came aboard 13 Mar
1951 which may well be date that Montagne was detached as
Exec--however, nothing is recorded to this effect.

[380] It is quite possible and logical that Thompson was Exec
from 13 Mar-2 Apr 1951--when he became CO.

[381] SMS-12 disestablished 1 Dec 1951--concurrently MABS-12
and MAMS-12 formed and commissioned.

[382] Narrative of Jan 1952 CD MABS-12 states Shuman det 4 Jan
1952 and Bryson on same date took over as CO. Assumption
of command order states that 6 Jan 1952 was date Bryson
became CO.

[383] These dates are those from the Station Lists--the diary
records nothing (except in the case of Beatty (20 Feb
1952)) that would either prove or disprove these dates as
being correct.

[384] The absence of a specific date indicates that no specific
date of assignment is shown in unit records.

[385] The absence of specific dates indicates that no specific
assignment dates can be found in existing records.

[386] VMF(N)-542: At sea bound for United States 12–21 Mar
1951--arrived El Toro, 24 Mar 1951.

[387] His date of attachment is vague.

[388] VMF-214 departed Korea for Itami on 4 Nov 1951--en route
to USA (El Toro) aboard the _Lenawee_, 8–27 Nov 1951.

[389] Records do not indicate specific date.

[390] Records do not indicate specific date.
