We arrived in Subic the morning of 17 December and remained pierside for six days . While in Subic we performed much needed maintenance on the ship and, of course, waited for liberty call. The morning of 23 December found us underway with five assault craft embarked. Arriving Danang on Christmas Day was not, unfortunately, an occasion for holiday routine . There was much work to be done as usual. We offloaded the assault craft and began relieving USS WINDI-IAM COUNTY QLST-ll675 prior to chopping to Task Group 76.5, Amphibious Ready Group BRAVO . We officially became a unit of ARG BRAVO on 26 December and, with a new load consisting of one LGU, two LCM-8's and three LCM-6's,, got underway for our new op-area some five miles south of the DMZ near GUA VIET. We remained in this area until 18 February steaming with USS VALLEY FORGE QLPH+8j, USS ALAMO CLSD-335 USS NAVARO CAPA-2273 and several LST's. We participated in two amphibious opera- tions, Badger Tooth and Badger Gatch in support of the Marines on the beach. We were constantly busy and tired from hard work.
