My 1st ship ran to sea at flank speed (1 hr) after our Angel got shot at by a Junk and we had a 5/54 on the Bow and twin 3/50 on the Boat Deck each side, asked for VietNam duty.
In country Nov. 68 and with RivDiv 91 until we gave our boats away. Finished my time with RAID 75 our call sign "Green Coffin 75". The day I flew out in Nov. 69, saw Hon. Col. Martha Ray, Green Barets.
Will always be a River Rat. -

January of 2016 I made a trip back to Dong Tam and was surprised at how it looked. The base is no longer there but there is a Vietnamese base there where ours was. It is really over grown and there are only a couple of buildings on the property. I was told they tore down all the American buildings but kept the foundations and then built a few buildings for themselves. The harbor is filling with mud and it didn't look like they were taking care of that along with a bridge that goes over Route 66 now. I got a ride around the base and you could not tell it was an American base. It was great to actually walk around Dong Tam one more time.
