As it fi- nally turned out this chore did not curtail too much liberty for the boat crew since the ci vilian ferrys were running to the carrier. 11 May. Underway from Hong Kong B.C.C. for DaNang. 13 May. Arrived DaNang and joined Amphib- ious Ready Group Bravo CTG 76.55. Loaded personnel equipment of Second Battalion Seventh Marines.
