Named after one of the Navy's most distinguished modern-day naval figures, USS LYNDE MCCORMICK KDDG-82 was commissioned on 3 June 1961, Naval Shipyard, Boston, Mass. The naval career of her namesake provided the ship by example a high standard of performance to follow from the outset: Admiral McCormick, U,S. Naval Academy Class of 1915, distinguished himself by-both his World War II combat record and the positions he held until his death in 1956. He commanded the destroyer USS KENNEDY, served as Admiral Nimitz's War Plans Officer, and as Commander Battleship Division Three during the war. He later served successively as Vice Chief of Naval Operationsg Acting Chief of Naval Operations, Commander in Chief, U.S. Atlantic Fleet, Supreme Allied Commander, Atlantic INATOJQ and President of the U.S. Naval War College. LYNDE MCCORMICK was built by the Defoe Shipbuilding Company in Bay City, Michigan. . Her keel was laid on 4 April 1958, she was launched on 28 July 1959 and shortly thereafter the second guided missile warship ever built on the Great Lakes headed to the Atlantic Ocean via the then recently completed St. Lawrence Seaway. After fitting out in Boston, LYNDE MCCORMICK sailed for her home port of San Diego, California, in August, 1961. Enroute she made calls in Washington, D.C., and after passing through the Panama Canal, Acapulco, Mexico. She arrived in San Diego on 16 September 1961. After an upkeep period, shake-down training commenced in October. During this period she underwent the final acceptance trials which subjected her to maximum operational demands under the close scrutiny of a group of experienced naval observers. The intensive training and preparation was completed on 8 December 1961. USS LYNDE MCCORMICK is a fighting ship from masthead to keel. Her capabilities include not only those of her forbears, but the most advanced ones as well. She is equipped with enough ordnance gear to wage simultaneous attacks upon surface, sub-surface, and airborne targets. Her Combat Information Center and Weapons Control Equipment incorporate means of target acquisition undreamed of only a few years ago. The Tartar guided missile is LYNDE MCCORMICK's primary anti-aircraft weapon capable of destroying supersonic fighters and bombers at distances considerably in excess of gun range. Combined with the long range of her sonar equipment, the ASROC weapons system is the most effective means of combating submarines that a surface ship has ever enjoyed. Two 5 f54 rapid-fire guns and two surface launched anti-submarine torpedo mounts round out LYNDE MCCORMICK's deadly firepower capability. LYNDE MCCORMICK, BLACK and KNOX at the pier in Midway. !

EDWARDS, FRANK KNOX, and BLACK, was underway for her fifth deployment to the western Pacific. Acting as flag- ship for COMDESDIV 172, LYNDE MCCORMICK was to meet the demands and rigors of WESTPAC and maintain the highest standards of the naval service. Making tracks across the Pacific Commander Rowden graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy with the class of 1952. He served as Weapons Officer on the Destroyer USS YARNALL for his first tour of duty operating in the Western Pacific during the Korean Conflict. After a short period as Executive Officer, Commander Rowden became Commanding Officer of the coastal minesweeper Uss CORMORANT. His first assignment ashore was to the Bureau of Naval Personnel in the enlisted distribution division. 'Commander Rowden returned to sea duty as Executive Officer of the destroyer escort USS LESTER before attending the U.S. Navy Postgraduate School, Monterey, California in June, 1961 for a two-year Ordnance Engineering Course. Subsequently he became Commanding Officer of the destroyer escort USS BAUER serving as a unit of the Seventh Fleet in operations connected with the Vietnamese War. Prior to recent studies at the Armed Forces Staff College, Commander Rowden served as a Personal Aide to Commander in Chief, Pacific. In March, 1968, Commander Rowden became Commanding Officer of USS LYNDE MCCORMICK as the ship was steaming in the Sea of Japan during the USS PUEBLO incident. Commander Rowden is a native of Vermont. He is married to the former Sarah Sumner of Rockford, Illinois. They have a daughter, Sarah Jane and two sons, Thomas Sumner and John William. i z Axim- r A XNisT '1'P'rf F Congratulations!! 3 4 The Captain casts a watchful eye on the midship station. h I N 5 MMMmmm...

Cummings, U.S. Navy, a native of Porterville, California, assumed command of Destroyer Division ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO on 11 August 1967. He reported from duty as Commanding Officer, USS COONTZ CDLG-92. Subsequent to graduation from Porterville Union High School, he received two years of undergraduate study at Stanford University. Following Stanford he entered the United States Naval Academy from which he graduated in 1946. Previous sea experience includes billets aboard USS DULUTH fCL-872, USS GUNSTON HALL KLSD-51, USS MOUNT MCKINLEY IAGC-71, and USS BRADFORD KDD-5452, where he served in the Engineering Depart- ments, Weapons and Operations Department. He served as Executive Officer in USS BROWN CDD-5462 prior to attending the Naval War College at Newport, Rhode Island. Following a tour on the staff of Commander- in-Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet he assumed command of USS CARPENTER CDD-8252. Captain Cummings attended the Industrial College of the Armed Forces, Washington, D.C. prior to as- suming command of USS COONTZ IDLG-91 on 14 August 1965. During his tour on COONTZ, he was awarded the Navy Commendation Medal with Combat V , the Navy Bronze Star, and the Republic of Vietnam Navy Distinguished Service Order.

CUMMINGS, Commander Destroyer Division ONE HUNDRED SEVENTY-TWO, and his staff of five officers and five enlisted men have been embarked in USS LYNDE MCCORMICK, Divi- sion Flag Ship, for the majority of the 1969 WestPac deployment. The flagship has actually served as a base of operations for the hard driving, flexible command. During the month of February, COM- DESDIV 172 was aboard the USS NEW JERSEY, invaluably assisting the battleship's commanding officer as CTU 70.8.9, coordinating gunline operations during the post TET offensive. Showing the flexi- bility so necessary in successful Naval operation, COMDESDIV 172 reacted swiftly in taking over the essential assignment of search and rescue coordinator aboard the cruiser USS CHICAGO in the course of the expeditionary forces sent to the Sea of Japan after the EC-121 incident in April. When TF-71 operations continued on a lesser scale in the months following, COMDESDIV 172 returned to the USS LYNDE MCCORMICK to coordinate the screening ships for USS ENTERPRISE and USS KITTY HAWK on defender station south of the TsuShima Straits. Individual members of the staff have served the division and allied forces in their professional specialized areas from engineering as- sistance, spiritual and moral guidance on division ships, to medical assistance on shore in South Viet Nam at Vung Tau and aboard the hospital ship USS REPOSE. It's been a very successful cruise, as it rightly should have been, when the best destroyer division command and best DDG in the fleet team up to fight for freedom in the Western Pacific.

Although our operational assignments put a heavy strain on the members of the Wardroom, the officers were up to the challenge. For some it was their first cruise. Officers of the deck, Navigators, GLO's, Tactical Communicators, and Evaluators were all qualified quickly. The ' ' Old Salts assisted the ' ' Boots and with much Work and patience the officers operated as a team to organize and coordinate the many activities of Westpac '6'9. 1 P N N LT Holmes LT Pennington LT Gatmus Let S EAT' LT HHZIGU LT Salerno LTJG Norton descrlbes the actlon IH Vletnam LT B1an LTJG Cochran LTJG Cort LTJG ForsYfhe ENS Buzhatdt 43 Q RIS' fhziv NX Q1 V 5 Nb 4 Y 1 Q 11- V I i'i'i'i'19!i' 4 3 51533 7 if' Q 1 9 . nm K 4... .7-31.71 .

No, it is only First Division painting out the ship. In a flurry of blue denim and a flash of paint buckets and brushes, the men in First Division brave 35 knot winds and crashing seas to paint the deck and sides of the good ship LYNDE MCCORMICK. Out of necessity, new techniques have been developed to paint under these conditions. Japanese drier , a catalyst craftily developed by its namesake to dry paint almost instantly, and Phosit - a strange new compound guaranteed to remove rust before your very eyes - are but two of the new products tried during the cruise to keep the ship looking in mint condition. In spite of the attention we paid to making sure the ship was painted out, it was but a small part of the function we performed on the ship. One of the most important was handling the replenishment-at-sea stations. Literally our life- blood comes from replenishment-at-sea. Without it, we would be forced to pull into port every few days for fuel or food. Not only did First Division master these difficult evolutions, but it soon became a source of pride to perform in an efficient manner. Rig times were usually very short, but the ship, being a lady, occasionally changed her mind as to which side the replenishment would be. In spite of this small handicap, with grunting and heaving the rigs came across and we became extremely proficient at UNREPS.

The men of AS Division are charged with the responsibility of maintaining and operating the sophisticated ASW Weapons and Sonar Systems of the ship. This mission encompasses three enlisted ratings: Sonarmen, ASROC Gunners- mates, and Torpedomanmates. The Sonarmen maintain the SQS-23D Sonar and the Fathometer. In addition, the MARK III Fire Control System for the ASROC Weapons System is the respon- sibility of the ' ' Ping Jockeys . The outstanding performance of the Sonar and ASROC are directly attributed to the skill and knowledge of the Sonarmen. During Gunfire Support Missions in the treacherous shallows of the Mekong Delta the Fathometer was worth its weight in gold. ASROC Gunnersmates have the difficult task of maintaining the ASROC Launcher and associated equipment and the care and feeding of the ASROC Weapon itself. This is a never ending battle against rust and corrosion on the ASROC deck. The Funny Gunners were unable to launch any exercise ASROC's during the cruise due to a new secret weapon commonly called ' ' The Box g but their time was used most efficiently as they manned the 5 inch 54's during gunline operations. LYNDE McCORMICK's other ASW Weapon is the tube launched homing torpedo. The Torpedomanmates of AS Division keep this system in mint condition. During ASW Training Operations in the Gulf of Tonkin, LYNDE MCCORMICK fired three exercise torpedoes - each time scoring a hit on the exercise submarine.

The division is divided into two ratings, that of FTM's and GMM's. The fire control technicians are responsible for the monitoring of missile flight data and the maintenance of their equipment. The gunnersmates are responsible for the operation and maintenance of the guided missile launcher. In addition to these duties each member of the division is called upon to fill various billets for each of the ship's evolutions. The leading Petty Officers are in charge of the inhaul teams on the amidships and after refueling stations. Other members are phone talkers on the bridge and line handlers for sea and anchor details. T Much of the division's time is spent maintaining the missile launcher and telemetering equipment in a constant state of readiness. The daily system checks, PMS, cleaning, painting, and repainting keep the men busy.

The division's primary job is to keep the ship's two 5 !54 Caliber Rapid Fire Guns shooting - and a never ending job it is. Other duties include control and storage of all ammunition, control and mainte- nance of the small arms arsenal, the care and testing of the magazines and magazine sprinkler systems, the keeping of all gunnery records, and of course the condition and cleanliness of all gunnery spaces including the 01 level aft. During the period on the Gunline no one was busier than the gunnersmates - the 4000 + seventy pound projectiles fired are proof of that. It can be added that this was the operation the GMG's preferred, because on the Gunline the success of the Whole ship's mission depended directly on how Well the guns Worked, so their job took on great importance.

CWO Stephenson The men of the Fox Division are responsible for the equipment needed to carry out the primary missions assigned LYNDE MCCORMICK. With the single exception of the Anti-Submarine Warfare capability, all weapons systems in- stalled are assigned -to the care of the Fire Control Technicians of this division. They are required to repair, operate, and maintain the Gun and Missile Fire Control Systems to counter air and surface threats, as well as support the troops ashore through accurately delivered gunfire. During this past deployment, the Gun Fire Control System was used on three separate periods while on the ' ' Gun Line At no time did this system fail to meet the high standards set down by the ship and the spotters had nothing but praise for the speed and accuracy of the response. The men put in many long hours to insure that this standard would be maintained. The men of the missile battery were never called upon to prove their systems in battle, but at no time was there any cause for concern as to their readiness. This was displayed in a missile shoot off the island of Okinawa under adverse weather conditions. This was taken in stride and the operational readiness of the missile battery was proved to all concerned. The command can always be sure that any job assigned to the men of Fox Division will be handled professionally and will bring praise to our ship.

CIC is run by the Radarmen of OI Division. Throughout the deployment, Radarmen were the key that unlocked the vast firepower of the ship which performed magnificently in the War Zone. In CIC the position of the ship and that of the enemy areconstantly plotted, thus en- abling the ship to rain immediate fire on target. In the Mekong Delta CIC'S gunfire support team Was a major factor in generating performance which caused the ship to be rescheduled to that same demanding assignment. When the call Went out for the best of the fleet to be sent to Korean Waters during the recent crisis involving the downing of a U.S. NAVY aircraft, LYNDE MCCORMICK was there. Radarmen put forth their utmost while scanning their radar scopes for hostile aircraft and ships which might threaten the carrier task force. Intercept aircraft, ready to pounce on potential attackers, were controlled With confidence by the OI Division air controllers. Since the services of the radarmen are in such demand, they must normally stand a minimum of 12 hours of Watch a day While the ship is underway. The radarman doesn't get extra pay for the long hours, but he does get the satis- faction of being a major contributor to the combat effectiveness of LYNDE MCCORMICK.

This includes long rangefair search and surface Search radrs, numerous radar repeaters, all communications equipment, passive elec- tronic countermeasures systems, LORAN navigation, and tactical air navigation CTACANJ equipment. The division is split between those who Work primarily on radar equipment fETR'sj and those who Work primarily on communications equipment CETN'sj. ETCS Evans has kept the division running smoothly by helping out on difficult maintenance problems, both radar and communications. It is a tribute to the efforts of the ET gang that LYNDE McCORMlCK's elec- tronic equipment has operated exceptionally Well during WESTPAC '69. Deke repairs the Navigator's repeater.

'M Division is composed entirely of Boiler- men and Machinist's Mates, whose primary function is to keep the LYNDE MCCORMICK's complex and powerful 1200 PSIG Propulsion Plant in the best possible operating condition. M Division also supplies continuous Hotel services to all hands on board. Nobody even notices these things until some- thing goes wrong with them, like fresh water, steam for heating and cooking, and electrical power. M Division is responsible for the vast amounts of ' ' Navy Special fuel oil that keep the boilers steaming, and the f' Oil King , always a senior M Division Petty Officer, continually has his hands full pumping fuel oil from storage to service tanks, and keeping an experienced eye on the purity of the Boiler Feed Water. ' r ' ' . The Boilermen operate the two firerooms, run the 'f Oil KinggShack?', and work in the Automatic Combustion Control equipment'Calibration Shop. They work long, hard hours under conditions that sometimes include temperatures over 1200F. Their work ranges from the back-breaking cleaning of boiler firesides and watersides, to the repair and maintenance of the complex fireroom machinery and automatic boiler combustion control systems.

A The M Division engineers, affectionately called ' 'Snipes by the rest of the crew, can well be proud of their accomplishments during the past WestPac employment period. Despite long months of continuous steaming at sea, and limited up keep time, the engineering plant met all commitments demanded of it during arduous WestPac Operations and long transits.

To accomplish this task, the division employs a Wider variety of ratings than any other division. Within the fold are Damage Controlmen, Enginemen, Electricianmates,Shipfitters, Machinist's Mates, Interior Communications Electricians, and Machinery Repairmen. During normal underway steaming, R-Division personnel stand Watches in Damage Control Central, in the enginerooms, and as the Roving ASROC Patrol. When General Quarters is passed, additional R Division men man-up stations in the three repair lockers, at the emergency diesel generators, and in after steering. For all sea details stations are manned as for GQ with the exception of the repair lockers. Ample numbers of R-men are used topside to expedite the work of the sea detail, whether it be to handle stores of ammunition and fuel oil, or take Admirals aboard. There's no particular glory in being a member of R-Division, repair Work is basically hard, hot, dirty, and has been known to cut into liberty time. There is, however, a certain satisfaction in restoring a badly-needed motor or com- pressor to service so the ship will be able to stay on the line and perform its assigned task. R-Division, then, is an important factor in keeping LYNDE McCORMICK'ready for sea' and its task is not taken lightly. The enginemen and their baby.

Our energetic, creative group of 47 fed, paid washed clothes, cut hair, kept soap in the soap dishes and Wowies,Fidd1ei Faddle, and other 'gedunk' in the mouths of the 290 officers and men of the LYNDE MCCORMICK. Under the able direction of our Supply Officer, LT Tom Hazlett, the Storekeepers provided all the necessary spare parts and supplies - from paper clips to high voltage boxes - to keep us afloat and on the ,go for the seven-month cruise. Our Assistant Supply- Officer, LTJG Grahn, heads up the service branches of Supply: the General Mess, the Laundry, Disbursing, Ship's Store, Barber Shop, and would-be vending machines. Our food service branch has fed some 178,500 individual meals at a cost of 883,000.00 Thanks to our seven skilled Cooks we have been able to please most of the crew most of the time and turn out many an excellent meal. Our one and only baker has produced 14,000 lbs. of some of the best bakery products that have ever graced our tables. The twelve ever-present and dutiful messcooks have kept cleanliness and sanitation at an optimum through their three times daily scrub down of the entire messdecks area. . .a dubious honor. Our 'ace' Disbursing Clerk has assisted the Disbursing Officer in paying out over a half-million dollars in fourteen paydays, processed some 1000 vouchers and claims of kinds and computed over 4200 individual payments. He also has become a most practiced and proficient card player. , The nine Stewardsmates kept Officers Country ship-shape and prepared 12,600 individual servings for our 24 officers.

Our Ship's Store was remodeled last December with the aid of just about everybody and 8600.00 worth of glass, kits, and supplies. This new super bargain basement of ours has managed to sell merchandise worth some 885,000.00-87,500.00 of which went into the ships Welfare and Recreation Fund. -In competition with the store we had our infamous vending machines. The Coke machine was known to have paid as much as twenty to one on an investment of a mere quarter. More than likely, however, you just lose whatever you put in - but the big pay-offs kept busi- ness up. Occasionally you might even get a Coke or Seven Up - or at least a good cup of carbonated water. Oursincere apologies to those few of you who may have missed out on the cup alto- gether.

Yeoman, Personnelmen, Hospital Corpsmen and the Postal Clerk comprise the majority of ' ' N Division personnel and per- form tasks very much unrelatedto Navigation. The Quartermasters, only One- fourth of the division, are responsible for the safe Navigation of the ship and keeping a legal record of the ship's activities whenever underway. During General Quarters, Underway Replenishment, Sea Details and other evolutions, the Quartermasters are also responsible for steering the ship. The administrative work on board is accomplished in the Ship's Office and the Personnel Office, manned by Yeoman and Personnelmen, respectively. Yeo- man are responsible for all incoming and outgoing official correspondence, reports, central files, and officer's service records,' while personnelmen handle all enlisted service records, transfers, receipts and formal school orders. During General Quarters, Personnelmen and Yeomen are assigned duties in CIC and the bridge as phone talkers and plotters. The Ship's Medical Department is also assigned to ' ' N Division. The per- sonnel assigned to this department are responsible for administering all the medical needs of the ship. Although no doctor is assigned, the Hospital Corps- men, known as the Medical Department Representative, is capable of administering to all the needs of the personnel on board. During General Quarters, Sea Detail and Underway Replenishment Details, Hospital Corpsmen are stationed through- out the ship to provide aid and assistance in case of an accident.

Ships should send five 'each to each, Of twenty groups, C1 to reach. Strikers once again should sit, And try their luck a little bit.

There are no ' Yankee go home' signs on Taiwan, the island fortress of the Chinese Nationalists. The Chinese are glad the Americans are there, and McCormick men were mighty glad to be there after 37 days on the gunline. Kaohsiung is located on the southern end of Taiwan and is the country's largest seaport. The country manufactures many luxury items for export as labor is cheap and the craftsmanship is outstanding. Loading and off-loading ships in the harbor is still accomplished by manual labor and by ancient methods. Once in town, McCormick men found a wonderland of shops and lOh yes! 2 bars. Tailoring, wood and ivory carving, porcelain wares, brass items, silk material, and shoes are as good quality Main street, Kaohsiung. as anywhere in Asia and somewhat less expensive. Kaohsiung has an abundance of taxi-cabs, pedi-cabs and rickshaws. Taxi fares are cheaper than San Diego. But a ride in one of Kaohsiung's miniature, honking taxis is a lot greater risk to life and limb than one would ever experience back home. Five days of R QQ R left most of us ready for sea, and all of us broke. On 19 March we got underway for Vietnamese waters and the gunline. Three happy tourists. T i ' Getting ready for liberty call I-IQNG KUNG The most looked forward to port in WestPac must be Hong Kong, the Pearl of the Orient. Located precar- iously close to Communist China, Hong 'Kong has always been a tourist mecca. Because it is a free port, items from anywhere in the world can be purchased at amazing- ly low prices. Of course Hong Kong tailors are re- nowned for their skill and speed. Mighty Mac as seen from Victoria Peak.

While Mary Soo painted the ship out, McCORMICK sailors hit the beach to go on tours, take pictures, have clothes made, visit Wanchi, and just plain relax. Our old friend Diamond Jim helped us organize a two night party at the Ocean Bar which was a smashing success.

Naval Gunfire Support was our main objective in Vietnamese waters. Stories about NGFS are wide spread, but mention' is seldom given to the means by which the ammunition is received and struck below to the magazines. All the projectiles and powders are brought aboard by strong-backed sailors! ' Underway replenishment was our only means of receiving ammo. The procedure is both dangerous and time consumingg but without this method we would have to enter port every two or three days. The ammunition is passed from the AE to us along a wire as the ships steam about 80-1,20 feet apart at 12-15 knots. Once the ammo is on board, each bullet and powder is hand carried to the magazine. Carrying projectiles which weigh more than 70 pounds each can be tiring, but McCormick men know that speed is essential for an efficient evolution. Powder cans are a little lighter,.but not easy.

One netful on the way. 3 Shuttle run from the ,USS MARS. The greatest danger during alongside replenishments is the possibility of a collision. It has been said that ' ' a collision at sea can ruin your entire day. The vertical replenishment method of UNREPS virtually eliminates the danger of collision and speeds up the evolution greatly. The HELO detail aboard ship simply unhooks the load and as the stores are carried away, the HELO returns to the UNREP ship for another cargo net. The smoothness and rapidity with which we completed our three VERTREPS this cruise show the advantages of this method. ww V, Waiting for our station to clear. A torpedo on its Way to the mark.

GUNLI Probably the most demanding assignment given LYNDE MCCORMICK this cruise was gunline operations. The gunline puts a tremendous work load on the entire ship. It takes extra personnel in CIC for navigation and spotter communications, hard working magazine crews to keep the am- munition drums full, crews to man both gunsfalert lookouts and bridge watch standers, and a never ending effort by Gunnersmates and machine shop personnel to keep the guns shooting. ' LYNDE MCCORMICK spent three separate periods on the gunline totaling 32 days. We fired 5032 rounds of 5 inch ammunition - completing 72 missions. Gun damage assessment included' damaging or destroying 400 structures, 150 bunkers, mortar positions, bridges, supply dumps, sanpans, and much close-in support for our troops ashore. Our first gunline assignment was in II Corps, working with both air and ground spotters. This northern area kept us mighty busy! . Nha TFHH8 24 FEB. - The USS LYNDE MCCORMICK moved at 25 knots into Nha Trang's cluttered harbor during the dark hours before dawn today, firing her five inch guns to repel a determined Viet Cong attack on military installations at Nha' Trang airport. Responding to an urgent call for support from naval gunfire spotters in the beseiged city, this San Diego based guided missile destroyer placed an array of illumination star shells over the advancing enemy, exposing his forward positions to defensive fire from ground and airborne units. The destroyer arced high explosive projectiles in the VC's escape trails behind their lines. Qui Nhon 27 FEB. - The blazing guns of the guided missile destroyer USS LYNDE Vg MCCORMICK found their mark just south of here today as the ship attacked the base camp of a XXX , 1 company size Viet Cong regiment. With the if - help of an airborne ' 'birddog spotter, the San Diego based destroyer pinpointed the target, then proceeded to destroy four enemy bunkers plus two other structures. - t 5 The ultimate gunship.

Our other two gunline assignment were in the treacherous shallows of IV Corps south of the mouths of the Mekong River. In this mass of twisting streams and, mangrove swamps the VC have built great bunker complexes and have always felt safe. We took advantage of the range of our rapid fire guns by moving in closer to the beach than most gunfire support ships do - at times we had only 25 feet of water under us. This extra range was used very effectively by our spotters. Vung Tau 23 MARCH - The guided missile destroyer USS LYNDE MCCORMICK punctuated her return to the gunline with a series of rapid fire attacks on Viet Cong concentrations 60 miles southwest of here today. Moving into a favorable position in the early hours before dawn, this San Diego based destroyer opened up with radar assisted gunfire on signal from airborne spotters ashore. Firing into the mass of streams and jungles of the lower delta, she surprised 2 VC san- pans apparently supplying an area of fortified buildings and bunkers. The surprise attack was continued for well over two hours as the destroyer systematically reduced the area to splinters under the skillful coaching of the marine spotters. Stoppers passed.

The gun crews take a break as we get the VUU8 Tau 19 JUNE - The long guns of the USS LYNDE MCCORMICK spoke loud and often i today as she. took under fire a Viet Cong staging area consisting of military structures and bunkers about 65 miles southwest of here.

A message from Rear Admiral RUDDEN, COMCRUDESGRU7THFLT sums up our gunfire support accomplishments: Your outstanding performance is noted with great pleasure. It is gratifying to realize that the 3rd Ma.rines and 2nd ARVN recognize the value of your out- standing support.

The Task Force was formed within hours following the shooting down of a NAVY EC-121 'Constellation' aircraft by a North Korean Air Force fighter. Task Force 71 was a formid- able force of Aircraft Carriers, Cruisers, and Guided Missile and general purpose Destroyers. Although no further hostile actions occurred, we were-under constant surveillance by the Communists.
