Maj O: Out and about (one last time)

[CaptO]

Here's some info on Denver (The D9).

 

 

Check out the history of 1975 at the bottom. What's notable:

1) the evacuation of Saigon - and pushing Hueys off the stern to make room for more.

2) Picking up Marines at White Beach, Okinawa to take Marines to Pohang for a landing exercise. Sounds vaguely familiar. . .

3) Was in Hong Kong for a port call and had to leave early to avoid a Typhoon. Also vaguely familiar. . .That happened last fall summer when we were on our last float!

 

Here's a picture of the venerable "Liberty D9ed" that I took from our ship at . . . you guessed it. . . White Beach!
