1g-s EZ! SE 7-485 7 This final year of OKCITY5 second cruise al has been the year of the guns. She has been called on more and more in her primary role as warship for operations off' the coast of Viet Nam. Since becoming flagship for the Commander, U. S. SEVENTH Fleet in July 1964, the OKCITY has had two roles to perform: flagship and warship. Her first year was spent primarily as flagship with many port visits, participating in numerous people-to-people programs--the only major interruption being the Gulf of Tonkin Incident in August 1964. But naval operations in Viet Nam stepped up towards the end of that comparatively blissful year and found the flagship cruiser right in the midst of the action., For the ship's fine performance during this action-packed year, QKCITY received the Battle Efficiency E and CAPT K. W. Simmons received the Bronze Star in August 1966. , 5
