Rhscott Posted November 25, 2018 Share #1 Posted November 25, 2018 From my 1st cousins estate. He was with 1/4th Marines in 1975 during the boarding of the SS Mayaguez. Solid, 1/4" thick brass ships nameplate. Has one of these ever been seen before? Cool to have a actual part of the last battle of the Vietnam War.

Rhscott Posted November 25, 2018 Author Share #3 Posted November 25, 2018 I saw "wow" too but am at a loss as to historic appeal. Assume it ties Vietnam, the Marines and the US Navy pretty well but that is all I can grasp. Where on acontainer ship would such a nameplate be? Are there more than one? Or were these something the boarding party members had made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
