Memories For This Unit

Other Memories
1965-1967 USS Canberra CAG-2, Tonkin Gulf.

While stationed on the USS Canberra, it made two deployments to the Far East, and joined the Seventh Fleet ships supporting RVN and USA forces in Vietnam. Canberra fired over 25,00 rounds from her 8-inch guns. The cruiser participated in operations ranging from riding shotgun for a truck convoy to supporting the first full-scale landing in the Mekong Delta. Canberra provided naval gunfire support in the I, II, and IV Corps areas, from the Mekong Delta to the DMZ, spending 88% of the time at sea with her.

While stationed aboard the USS John King (DDG-3), it made one cruise to West Pac, 71/72, connecting up with the Seventh Fleet. Thousands of five-inch projectiles were fired in support of US Forces.
