  • USS Caliente Association PIPELINE December 2008 President’S Message Hello Shipmates, Let Me Introduce Myself
    USS Caliente Association PIPELINE December 2008 President’s message Hello Shipmates, Let me introduce myself. My name is Pat Hurton and I was elected President of the Association at the business meeting of the San Antonio reunion. After serving as President and Pipeline editor since late 2002, Bob Howard decided to take a much needed break from both positions. Bob has done an excellent job in fulfilling the roles of President and Pipeline editor for the past five reunions but chose not run for office again. Norm Street was elected Vice President (Norm has volunteered to continue to head our recruiting team), William (Red) Ward has volunteered to take on the Secretary’s position and Karl Seitz has volunteered to be the Pipeline editor. I have been the treasurer since late 2002 and will continue in that position until someone is elected to the job. The Reunion The reunion at San Antonio was very successful. We had over sixty persons attend, including a dozen shipmates who attended a reunion for the first time. On Thursday we had registration and a reception for all hands. I want to thank Brady and Irene A smaller version of this picture of the USS Caliente (AO-53) is used in the Pipeline masthead with the permission of Dan Davis, who took it during the 1971-72 WestPac deployment of the USS Arnold J. Isbell (DD-869).

  • Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents
    Navy and Coast Guard Ships Associated with Service in Vietnam and Exposure to Herbicide Agents Background This ships list is intended to provide VA regional offices with a resource for determining whether a particular US Navy or Coast Guard Veteran of the Vietnam era is eligible for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran’s ship. According to 38 CFR § 3.307(a)(6)(iii), eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran’s military service involved “duty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam” between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. This includes service within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. However, this does not include service aboard a large ocean- going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include rivers, canals, estuaries, and deltas. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Da Nang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, Nha Trang Harbor, Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Vung Tau Harbor, or Ganh Rai Bay. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea. In order to promote consistent application of the term “inland waterways”, VA has determined that Ganh Rai Bay and Qui Nhon Bay Harbor are no longer considered to be inland waterways, but rather are considered open water bays.
