Salvage Sailor Posted May 13, 2017 Share #42 Posted May 13, 2017 All four Claud Jones class Destroyer Escorts Poorly built, poorly armed and slow, they were all decommissioned after only 14 years in service. Class leader USS CLAUD JONES (DE-1033) In service 1959 to 1974 Japanese made 8" x 5" Claud Jones class USS CHARLES BERRY (DE-1035) In service 1959 to 1974. A bit of naval trivia, her first commanding officer, Rembrandt Cecil Robinson, died in a helicopter crash at age 47 in the Gulf of Tonkin on 08 May 1972, the only Navy flag officer killed in the Viet Nam War.

Salvage Sailor Posted June 3, 2017 Share #45 Posted June 3, 2017 USS HAROLD E. HOLT (DE/FF-1074) Knox class frigate in service 1971 to 1992 Vietnam - Mayaguez Incident - Desert Storm Although not scheduled for deployment so soon after commissioning, Harold E. Holt was sent to the Gulf of Tonkin on short notice soon after the North Vietnamese Easter Offensive began in the spring of 1972. During deployment, she served as PIRAZ escort and provided gunfire support near Quang Tri. She came under fire from shore batteries several times and sustained two mine hits without serious damage. She returned to Long Beach in late November 1972, and was later awarded a Meritorious Unit Commendation for this deployment. In May 1975, Harold E. Holt was involved in the Mayaguez incident. During the recapture of the container ship Mayaguez, Marines crossing from Harold E. Holt conducted the first hostile ship-to-ship boarding by the U.S. Navy since 1826 USS HAROLD E. HOLT (DE/FF-1074) Desert Storm 1991 United Nations Operation Desert Shield & DESRON 35 Desert Shield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
