Several historical accounts taken from open-source material are included to provide the context and background of these experiences and those of the other contributors cited during this historical naval war fighting. These are my recollections of the Vietnam War from 1965 to 1975. It is a part of our military history that deserves attention because of the lessons that may be learned and the recognition of the courage of those involved regardless of whether the war was popular or not. The paucity of recorded histories seemed inexcusable to me.
However, I was badly let down when I discovered that the naval operations and casualties involving smaller ships during the Vietnam War have been largely ignored. I have generally taken it for granted that military histories are meticulously recorded in one form or another - naval operations citing deck logs screened for important tidbits of historical value supplemented by expert studies interviews of important personages and books and articles written by military academics or the participants themselves about this pivotal period in American military history.
