| Located 30 miles north of Cam Rahn Bay in South Vietnam, Nha Trang
served as an operating station for naval units during the Vietnam War. Between 1965 and
1967 the Navy established there a 20 man-coastal surveillance center to coordinate
anti-infiltration patrol operations by Americans and Vietnamese units and a 120-man harbor
security unit to protect vessels delivering supplies to the Army’s port complex. The
Navy’s base facilities were turned over to the Vietnamese when U.S. forces withdrew
from the war in 1970 and 1971. ABM |
