Greensideout and maybe a few others will appreciate this pic.

I couldn't resist adding this great shot to my own personal documentary of my Southeast Asian Picnic.

touches on your Op Shufly down south (?) without actually saying it.

A good day to all...

I was on the USS Princeton LPH 5 in 1965. I, we made the landing at Chu-Lai on 7 May 65 with 1/4. I was with Whiskey 3/12.

Hey ggyoung.....

There's few of us left.
I was on the Princeton from Feb. - April '66.
Off loaded at Chu Lai Sunday May 8, 1966.....thanks to the detailed AAR I found for my unit (W/2/11) being with BLT 1/5.

We only used the Howtar version on two Ops from the Princeton being Jackstay and Osage.
After that we used the M30 base plate version for all subsequent Ops.

Thanks for chiming in....
