Probably the most important, and dehnifely the most satisfying were the periods of Naval Gunhre Support during which we fired a total of 6,500 rounds of 5 ammo into the Viet Nam real estate. We operated as units on Dixie Station and Yankee Station, and patrolled the Straits of Taiwan for days on end. We were involved in four Gemini shots and all wished and thought that RUPERTUS should have been the ship to pick up the astronauts. Oue operations were varied, but we performed all of them with a professionalism that has for so long been the common calling Card of the Greyhound Navy. 3 1 li Z Q ' J f i Quarters For Entering Port Y 1 5 1 J: si' lil i R: Signaling A Fellow Ship At Sea Bridge Wim-li
