Comments: My Dad was on ARL 29 The USS Ampitrite III. I am Trying to track down some information for him. His name is Harry E. Nickerson. he was on the ship when it was an LST and stayed with it through its service in WWII
Comments: I served aboard Askari in Vietnam and I was in charge of Main Control in Vietnam and in Guam. I taught the Indoneasians about main control. When all the shipmates departed Askari in Guam, I and 2 other shipmates stayed to train the Indoneasians. We stayed about 1 month in Guam than returned to Vietnam to NSA SAIGON.

Comments: Served aboard the dirty 30 from US to Viet Nam. Was in R1 Division in the welding shop with Chief Johnson and Mr Hamilton, she was a ruff rider.Other names I can think of are Paul Webb and DJ McKinney
Comments: I was on the USS Jason AR-8. The Jason was deployed to Vung Tau in May and June of 1971. The Askari nested against us for few days for stores replenishment and I always wondered what she was and what she did. Now I know.
Comments: May Scott Francis Wemette rest in peace. I am still saddened to this day by his ultimate sacrifice. I was on board the Satyr watching them attempt to salvage our Mike boat when he drowned. God Bless his family.
