Now, but not then, there was a little thing called Vietnam and Westpac deployments also involved a little stint off the coast for fun and games.
Edit my “not” dad was on the USS Buchanan DDG-14 they got their ass handed to them off the coast by Vietnamese shore batteries. I can still remember the day the captains wife called all the officers wives, and said the ship has been hit, men are dead, we don’t know who or how many. Mom just started screaming. My brother and I celebrated “dads dead!” I know that was fucked up. So was the whole goddamn war.
