Welcome to the USS Mansfield DD-728 Guestbook Forum

Jane’s Fighting Ship Jan 1964 to Nov 1966. It was home for 3 years. The longest time at sea for me was Aug. 1966 when we left the Subic and 90+ days later arrived in Hong Kong. It was a time of Rearm , refuel, Replenish and back up the Saigon River. then patrol the DMZ and finally heading into Haipong within range of their shore batteries. A fighting ship it was with more rounds on Vietnam than any other naval vessel. Greetings to the crew. We did our job well and enjoyed our times in the many ports we encountered.
