She set to sea again and the engineers added a few liberty turns as the last leg of our journe was at h d B Y 911 - Y this time BENNER had logged over 49,000 miles on her cruise BENNER had served in the VietNam Campaign in the Gulf of Tonkin once for a period of 45 days and again for a period of 30 days. She had been taken under fire by the North Vietnamese guns on numerous occasions. Each time BENNER answered the fire with her five-inch guns. She had been successful in a special DASH project conducted off the coast of North VietNam. Not one sailor aboard the BENNER had been involved in a serious accident throughout the cruise. BENNER had visited many ports of the Far East and each man aboard BENNER headed towards home with the feeling that his six months of work and sacrifice contributed to his Nation's objective of the preservation of world peace. One thought prevailed in the minds of the BENNER crew on the evening of May 11, l967,that on the following morning BENNER would finally be pulling into Long Beach harbor. The sea detail was stationed short after sunrise and all hands manned the rail as the ship steamed towards the harbor entrance. N 7 A w Manning the rail. B h in sight Passing Gun Park Long eac
