  • 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.

  • “Frank” Frevert
    Missouri State Society Daughters of the American Revolution Proudly Honors Patriot of the Month February 2017 Carl “Frank” Frevert United States Navy Sponsored by: Marshall Chapter Frank entered the service January 1962. He went to boot camp in San Diego, California, spent time at Alameda Naval Air Station, and then transferred to Boston, Massachusetts shipyards. While stationed there, he met his future wife, Barbara. He boarded the USS Worden (DLG-18) when it first launched July 1962. The ship sailed to Norfolk, Virginia to take on ammunition before heading to its main base at San Diego, California. On November 2, 1963, they traveled through the Panama Canal, and on November 6, 1963, they crossed the equator (considered a rare and great honor). This is also his most memorable event. The ship traveled up and down the West Coast stopping at Seattle, Washington, Hawaii, Guam, Midway, the Philippines, Japan, Taiwan, and Vietnam. The longest stint was 40 days at the Gulf of Tonkin, Vietnam. Frank served as boatswain 3rd class. Frank’s duties included “a lot of deck swabbing and painting. The decks had to be swabbed at least twice a day.” He was on a crew which did high lining (removal and loading of vital supplies, including food) and everything else associated with upper deck maintenance. His white tennis shoes indicated that he was an upper deck man. He wore the boatswains mate pipe on a lanyard, which is pictured in the ships yearbook. He was responsible for sounding the whistle and announcing visitors to the ship. However, most of his time was spent running boats to rescue downed pilots.

A small token of my appreciation for their constant support and sacrifice. ‘A Haven for Tortured Souls’: Hong Kong in the Vietnam War by Peter Evan Hamilton, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2011 SUPERVISOR: Mark A. Lawrence This essay details the profound economic and social impact of the Vietnam War on Hong Kong. The British colony provided essential strategic facilities to the U.S. war effort and ranked among the largest destinations for American servicemen on R&R. Between 1965 and 1970, Hong Kong annually hosted about 200,000 U.S. ground and naval personnel on holiday. This influx annually earned Hong Kong about US$300-400 million (in 2009 dollars) and employed thousands of residents working in the colony’s service and entertainment industries. In addition, American servicemen and the local businesses catering to them became a contentious issue in local society. Servicemen excited widespread interest, but their misdeeds and their bar and brothel stomping grounds provoked intense anxiety.

  • The Gulf War Than Had Been Deployed Since World War II, the Gulf War Involved Few Tests of the Unique Capabilities of Seapower
    GW-10 Naval and Amphibious Forces October 15, 1994 Page 860 Chapter Ten: Naval And Amphibious Forces While Seapower played a dominant role in enforcing the UN sanctions and embargo during Desert Shield, it played a largely supportive role in Desert Shield. In spite of the fact that the Coalition deployed more seapower during the Gulf War than had been deployed since World War II, the Gulf War involved few tests of the unique capabilities of seapower. In many areas, lessons are more the exception than the rule. Naval airpower played an important role in supporting the Coalition air campaign, but the unique capabilities of sea- based and amphibious air power were only exploited in missions against a weak Iraqi Navy. Sea control and the campaign against Iraqi naval forces presented only a limited challenge because the Iraqi Navy was so small, and the Coalition's amphibious capabilities were not used in combat. While the Gulf War demonstrated the importance of low cost systems like naval mines and countermine capabilities, the countermine campaign is difficult to analyze because Iraq was allowed to mine coastal waters without opposition during Desert Shield. Naval gunfire supported several Coalition land actions, but its value was never fully exploited because the Coalition had such a high degree of air supremacy, and Iraq was forced to retreat for other reasons. This makes it difficult to draw broad lessons about the role of sea power in contingencies involving major surface actions, sea-air-missile encounters, and actual amphibious landings. at the same time, naval forces did illustrate As a result, the Gulf War's lessons apply more to the details of actual operations than broad doctrinal and operational issues.
