HAVERFIELD spent three month-long assignments as a patrol unit of Operation Market Time off the coast of South Veitnam. HAVERFIELD 's mission was to detect and deter infiltrators by boarding and searching vessels in the territorial waters off the coast of South Vietnam. Boarding parties worked day and night since there are forty' to fifty thousand junks and other watercraft engaged in legitimate activities along the one thou- sand miles of South Vietnamese coastline.
