  • 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

    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.

    A Haven for Tortured Souls': Hong Kong in the Vietnam

Lawrence _________________________________ H. W. Brands ‘A Haven for Tortured Souls’: Hong Kong in the Vietnam War by Peter Evan Hamilton, B.A. Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin December 2011 To my parents, Drs. James J. Hamilton and Linda Z. Hamilton. 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.

    Deployed 170213

    Deployed A Destroyer Story by Bruce Bade February 2015 FOREWORD !The drafting of this story was undertaken when I began to read the letters my wife and I had exchanged during my several extended deployments in Navy ships. Of course I was reliving those times as I read. !The deployment of USS JAMES E. KYES (DD 787) in 1972 presented a story of particular interest to me. When the letters were written I had a very focused view of my existence but, forty-odd years later, I needed a more comprehensive view of what had happened. Therefore I excerpted from the letters those passages that described what the ship and I had been doing. A compilation of these gave me a better understanding of the deployment. !It was so interesting to me that I wanted to share the compilation with my daughter, who was born after that deployment, with former shipmates, and with a few friends who, I thought, might be interested. The excerpts, however, required some explanation for those who hadn"t had the pleasure of serving in a destroyer. The compilation of excerpts thus expanded to a more complete story. !While my memories are still pretty vivid, I was able to rely on some papers I"d kept. For example, I"d kept copies of all the daily ammunition expenditure reports. A bit less anally, I"d also kept some reports and messages that helped me reconstruct the chronology. !This story was never intended to address the home front, either on a personal or political level, nor was it intended to address any of the larger questions attendant to the conduct of the Vietnam war.

Revisiting the 1971 ‘USS Enterprise Incident’ Rhetoric, Reality and Pointers for the Contemporary Era Raghavendra Mishra* The USS Enterprise naval task group entry into the Indian Ocean during the closing stages of 1971 Indo-Pak Conflict led to further deterioration in the relations between India and the United States (US), and this estrangement lasted until the end of the Cold War. The US couched this show of force under the rubric of ensuring safety of American personnel caught up in a war zone. In India, however, this was seen as a coercive attempt to prop up a genocidal military regime.

    Marine Nuclear Power 1939 – 2018 Part 2B USA Surface Ships

    Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018 Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships Peter Lobner July 2018 1 Foreword In 2015, I compiled the first edition of this resource document to support a presentation I made in August 2015 to The Lyncean Group of San Diego (www.lynceans.org) commemorating the 60th anniversary of the world’s first “underway on nuclear power” by USS Nautilus on 17 January 1955. That presentation to the Lyncean Group, “60 years of Marine Nuclear Power: 1955 – 2015,” was my attempt to tell a complex story, starting from the early origins of the US Navy’s interest in marine nuclear propulsion in 1939, resetting the clock on 17 January 1955 with USS Nautilus’ historic first voyage, and then tracing the development and exploitation of marine nuclear power over the next 60 years in a remarkable variety of military and civilian vessels created by eight nations. In July 2018, I finished a complete update of the resource document and changed the title to, “Marine Nuclear Power: 1939 – 2018.” What you have here is Part 2B: United States - Surface Ships. The other parts are: Part 1: Introduction Part 2A: United States – Submarines Part 3A: Russia - Submarines Part 3B: Russia - Surface Ships & Non-propulsion Marine Nuclear Applications Part 4: Europe & Canada Part 5: China, India, Japan and Other Nations Part 6: Arctic Operations 2 Foreword This resource document was compiled from unclassified, open sources in the public domain. I acknowledge the great amount of work done by others who have published material in print or posted information on the internet pertaining to international marine nuclear propulsion programs, naval and civilian nuclear powered vessels, naval weapons systems, and other marine nuclear applications.
