I just ran across an interesting article just searching the internet, it's about our little unit, IFSDIV 93. We were in no way anything like most of the ships of the Navy that always received accolades and praise. We were old, rusty, slow and some would say ugly, but we were in a class of our own. So bad the crew of the White River nicknamed their ship the Binjo Maru. If you ever had contact with the Japanese language you'd know what that means.
We were kept together with layers of Lead Oxide and sweat, but we kept firing. It did my heart good to see this article, and just had to share if for those whose interest goes to war. I still remember Robes from War Stories, and sharing conversations with that man who flew that plane over the battle fields radioing coordinates to us, and the number of times I was the RT operator when the 5"38 was used, any other time I was the loader on a rocket launcher. In spite of my personal feelings about the Vietnam War, I am proud and honored to have served with these guys, and will never forget those who died. I miss chatting with Robes as well. Anyway, I hope you enjoy it
