.ll rf ll d f' Forward and U.S. Marine ground forces, the ship earned a high reputation for her rapid and accurate fire. COGSWELL's other assignment was a four-day tour as shotgun ship for USS WAINWRIGHT QDLG-28l on PIRAZ station just 25 miles off the coast of North Vietnam. During our infre- quent periods of relaxation we had an oppor- tunity to visit Hong Kong, B.C.C.g Yokosuka, Japang and Subic Bay, P.l. That the 25th Anniversary Cruise of COGSWELL has been an unqualified success in making a significant contribution to United States objectives in the Vietnam conflict, is a tribute to every member of the crew. You all have worked long and hard hours, frequently performing the most difficult of tasks, always in good spirits and consistently attaining the desired results. Wherever your paths lead in the future, you will always be able to look back upon this period in your lives with pride and satisfaction in a job WELL DONE. ': 1 T-F!
