In late january 1966, in San Diego, CANBERRA's crew was warned to be ready for anything. One month later CANBERRA was almost 8,000 miles away on the Naval Gunfire Support line in Viet Nam. Between the lines of these simple statements one can discern many things, true demonstration of our Navy's ready response to sudden need, willing minds, hearts and hands bending to the last minute tasks required of unexpected deployment, and courageous wives and families supporting their husbands and sons inspite of ruined personal plans and concern for safety of their men at war. Through March, April, and May we roamed up and down the Viet Nam coast providing thousands of rounds of heavy fire support to US and allied forces ashore. The pace was fast and wearing on men and equipment, so the brief visits to Subic Bay, Hong Kong and Yokosuka were welcome and needed. We also gave unstinting sup- port to the small boys , the minesweepers, swifts and patrol craft, US and RVN - medical attention, food, water, repair parts and technical assistance. When transport was available we took weary soldiers aboard for a few hours of rest and relaxation. Six gun -salvo or six scoops of ice cream, Can-do Kangaroo was ready, willing and able. This book is the panorama of these actions. As you turn the pages, remember with well deserved pride what you did here, the shipmates that shared the experience with you, and the families at home who supported you in heart and spirit. 'ani 3
