Because her troops and combat cargo were badly needed overseas, she sailed directly to Okinawa via the Great Circle Route arriving on the 12th of September. After offloading in Okinawa, MONTROSE visited Sasebo, Japan for an upkeep period and then sailed to Subic Bay, Philippines to become part of the Seventh Fleet Amphibious Ready Group. After several weeks of intensive training in Subic Bay, MONTROSE and the rest of the ready group sailed for Vietnam and combat operations. During the next four months, MONTROSE participated in a number of amphibious operations against the Viet Cong including several Dagger Thrust Operations, Operation Blue Marlin, Operation Harvest Moon, and Operation Double Eagle. These operations, all highly successful, did much to convince the Viet Cong that they could never be safe from attack from the sea. 4t GATOR VITAL STATISTICS (1) 22,530 Miles steamed.
