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.
