My husband was on the Uss Independence from 1971-1973. I would like to know if the Uss
Independence ever went to Vietnam Nam during this time. Thank you in advance for your time.

Served on the Indy 70-71 seaman. Worked on sea and anchor detail, Sidecleaner. Met the Indy for the first time in Barcelona Spain. Flew there from Rota Spain. Loved to spend time on the flight deck when there were no flight ops. Went down to the broiler room, quite impressive. Had a buddy that took me for a peak of the bridge WOW! In dry dock went down to just gaze at the enormous beauty of her. One heck of a time!
