"I was on the Constellation, pretty far offshore during this op but still awarded the unit citations. Curiously, my DD214 only shows a few months in 1973 for Viet Nam service, when I made 2 deployments to the Tonkin Gulf prior to that."
"I was on the Connie from early 1972 until Jan 1975. We did a couple deployments to the Tonkin Gulf (Yankee Station for the most part) and a trip to Pakistan. I helped put together the two cruisebooks."
