The minesweeping detachment operated 12 or 13 57-foot, fiberglass-hulled minesweeping boats (MSB). The MSBs fought with machine guns and grenade launchers and carried surface radars and minesweeping gear for clearing explosives from the rivers.

Locate Name of KIA

I was attached to Mine Squadron 11 from 1969 to 1971 as a BM2 in the sail locker.  I am trying to remember a  KIA .  He was on a MSB, attached to mine division 111 or 112..  He was killed in 1970/71 If any one knows who this  is, because sadly, I can't remember his name.
