.I was on the uss Samuel n Moore dd 747 64/66 TONKIN GULF and the south Vietnam

F 8's and A4's, early goings, me.......... I miss Olongapo! USS Saratoga, VAW 123.

This is only my opinion, once a nation's military dominate either sea or air, they cant be defeated in a war,like some saying United States loss in vietnam,well the fact is not on the armed forces.

DLG-30...USS Horne first mission ran with carriers..spent time off coast of North Vietnam..75 miles from Haiphong....carrier went south to dmv..never took out air base..left us with ww2 destroyer as escort..during mig alert we would go to sea and destroyer went toward shore. When we lit up fire control and had a lock Migs would turn around and go back to base..we "were never there"😅

Served on USS CACAPON AO52 and USS MISPILLION AO 105 unrep ships on Yankee station and Market Time, Token Gulf 1965-1968 SFP 3

I served 13 years in the military, my first 3 years were in the Navy, the rest Army, the Navy years we're some of the best year's of my life

The Vietnam War was an absolutely obscene waste of money and resources for the American taxpayer. Poor tax-paying Americans having their hard-earned money wasted by political and military morons on a totally unnecessary war. The Vietnam War was an economic catastrophe of massive proportions for the American people.

Yet we ran

Im a rear gunner ;)

With all that tech, we still got our butts kicked by a lesser technology.

Salute and respect from down under 👍

I served 2 1/2 years aboard the USS Ticonderoga CVA-14 in Vietnam ('65-'67) as a photographer. Amazing times. I loved it on the flight deck.

Was on the Forrestal when we had the fire, was a plane captain with VA-106, went back on the Intrepid when she celebrated her 25th anniversary. Made it to Australia. Great ship to work the flight deck, great bunch of ships company that worked the flight deck.

Double sonic jets ? What is that ? Two engines ? I served 6 years and never heard that phrase. And computer accuracy is nonsense. The electro-mechanical devices to aim the guns back then were not as accurate as computers. And where are the DDG photos ? They were there.

At 12:28, the sound of the A-1 Skyraider during landing sounds like a Harley Davidson.

Ko thấy lm phim về vụ hạm đội 7 của mĩ bị 2 chiếc mig17 của Việt Nam đánh bom nhỉ

USS BAINBRIDGE DLGN 25 1966 1967

U.S.S. HANCOCK, CVA-19, 70-73 ...and many cruises before that...

Cool, bombing the hell out of villages grass huts. That’s showing them who’s boss.

What a bunch of crap. Another CYA production, a poor one at that. No thank you, the exception being one of ours, an A3-D (number 7) arresting at 12:20. From an AE-3, 1967-68 (VAH-4) out 'there.'

Four West PAC deployments, '68-73, 21 months on station, Yankee Station. DESRON 7, North SAR, South SAR, Plane Guard with multiple Carriers. USS Coontz DLG-9, USS Bainbridge DLGN-25. Weapons Division, FTM-2. Best of times and the worst of times.

Excellent. Best wishes/PH.

USS Truxtun DLG(N) 35. PIRAZ, North SAR, Red Crown - '72-'73.

The lack of forward observers that would operate in the target area was a hindrance. I notice that many WWII videos render with better quality than those from the Vietnam era.

USS MIDWAY CVA 41... TONKIN GULF/ YANKEE STATION 70-71..... "M" DIV. #1 Engine Throttleman...

My dad was an AO with VF-194 on Oriskany from 69-72....my dad is my absolute hero & seeing these videos give me chills! I am so grateful I to get to see them thank you for posting them!!

I was in Vietnam on board the RCL Legend of the Seas back in 2015. Coming out of Nha Trang we almost ran out of shrimp cocktail at the Windjammer buffet and I had to fight my way through a crowd of obese American tourists. It was tough but I survived and sometimes I still have flashbacks.

USS St. Paul CA-73 66-68. Busy times at sea and on station. VanMarter BT -3 Yes it was very hot there also. #3 Fire Room. Port time was a blast made up for the hard times at sea. Yep I wood do it again as a younger person. At 70 I sure couldn't do it now. Omg. We were all young in those times, ( look at us in the videos ) wow where did all that time go. Great job to all Vets. 👍

Was on DD703 W L LIND Westpac Sept '70 -- Feb '71 -- Anybody else ??

Any body know how to get Agent Orange benefits from Navy --- WE showered and probably drank bay/sea water with agent orange runoff from land to streams to rivers and bay and ocean --- but they Deny ---we were even there ??

DD-881 Nam mostly yankee station. operation linebacker lots of gunfire support.

That war lasted 9 years too long. Dad said "It's a rich man's war." Way too many guys and gals never come home alive. That's a shame, I did my time from 1962 t 1966 in the Navy.

USS Oriskany with VA-155 1971-1974. Involved in Operation Linebacker II

Jerry s,hm uss coral sea cv43 74 76. seams so distant but just yesterday. westpac 75 Australia wonderful memories.

USS Coral Sea (CVA-43) 1965-66. We are shown launching aircraft in the first part.

us ready to nuke Russia preempt strike ? mother of all bombs: to kill 36 people looks expensive not mentioning the 50 missiles to Syria . / however one way to bankrupt the nation the good way. people will now really knows how the money is spend as well how much the military makes as profit

USS RANGER (CVA-61) 1970-1974 V-3 Division....TOP GUN

these carrier pilots were and are the best pilots ever produced. utterly amazing how they landed on a carrier when water was rough and bottom of sea fell 15-30 feet sometimes just when ready to land on the carrier.

Love these vids!! Thx for posting.

USS McKean (DD - 784) WestPac 1968 & 1970

There should be pictures of USS ProvidenceCLG6 we were on station Viet Nam,and YankeeStation 66-68,I was a 3rd Class Signalman during her tour of duty as ComSevethFleetFlag, I was ships company

USS Paul Revere 69' LPA... large flight deck on the fan-tail pretty nice spot to hang out. I salute all my brothers who served. (I was a snipe in the engine room)

Anyone remember the USS Providence CLG-6 in 1972?

There is about a 5 second shot of MSO 436, the USS Energy. There is a good chance I was on it when the footage was taken. The Energy only made 4 WestPacs to Vietnam that I am aware of. That was some year 65-66. What an experience for a 19 year old. Long hot days boarding Vietnam craft and checking for contraband. I stood bridge and helmsman watches. What a hoot seeing her in this footage. All the MSO's are gone now. It was a great ship and a great crew.

arcadio garduque are here

Perhaps that is not a tower at all. In some views I plainly see a "tilley" parked behind the island. This is a very large crane used to pick up disabled or wrecked aircraft.

I did not see the Enterprise (CVN-65) anywhere in this footage. You can google up "the US Navy Aircraft Carriers" and confirm the hull numbers shown.

Thanks for posting I was there on the South China Sea, Yankee Station I served on the USS OKlahoma City CLG 5 I believe it was shown @1:05 it sure looks like my ship, glad to have served my Country back then.

I'm certainly not a carrier expert and my suggestion was only because the carrier shown was in line with the mention of nuclear power. The Big E was the first nuclear powered carrier.

thanks ... I've always researched on that carrier ... in an old book about plastic scale models appears an aircraft carrier with that tower, and is named as the USS Lexington ... but do not think that this boat has a name as honorable ... the tower is not the common way of the other ... maybe then was remodeled?
