Porcari announced in late October that the department’s Maritime Administration (MARAD) would begin to clean and recycle Search This Site obsolete vessels in a reserve fleet in California, few would have thought the news would reverberate thousands of miles from the coast in East Central Indiana.

Earlham Victory leaving the ways after her launch in Richmond, Calif., on June 13, 1945. (Image: Earlham Archives) In 1943, the U.S. Maritime Commission began a program to design a fast cargo ship to replace the slower Liberty ship. Based on the design of the Liberty ship and produced using the same assembly line methods, 531 Victory ships, with steam turbine engines which cruised at approximately 15 – 17 knots —dramatically faster than the Liberties — were produced in 1944 and 1945. The first Victory ship, the S.S. United Victory, was launched at the Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation in February 1944. After the United Victory, the next 34 vessels were named for allied countries, then 218 were named for U.S.

    01-10 January 25, 2010 C&P Brown Water Navy Tracking Program

    VA&R Archived Bulletins can be found at www.legion.org 01-10 January 25, 2010 C&P Brown Water Navy Tracking Program The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), in a January 2010 Compensation and Pension (C&P) Service Bulletin, announced a new initiative to collect data on Vietnam naval operations for the purpose of providing regional offices with information to assist with development in Haas related disability claims based on herbicide exposure from Navy Veterans. To date, they have compiled verification from various sources showing that a number of offshore “blue water” naval vessels conducted operations on the inland “brown water” rivers and delta areas of Vietnam. VA has also identified certain vessel types that operated primarily or exclusively on the inland waterways. The ships and dates of inland waterway service are listed below. If a veteran’s service aboard one of these ships can be confirmed through military records during the time frames specified, then exposure to herbicide agents can be presumed without further development. This is an ongoing project and the list below is by no means complete. Therefore, veterans on vessels that traveled the inland waterways not identified below will need to submit evidence supporting brown water service. The vessels currently identified via this program include: All vessels of Inshore Fire Support [IFS] Division 93 during their entire Vietnam tour o USS Carronade (IFS 1) o USS Clarion River (LSMR 409) [Landing Ship, Medium, Rocket] o USS Francis River (LSMR 525) o USS White River (LSMR 536)
