I was there when one of the Helo Ships had a boiler explosion. It killed a few guysand they came outoard of us. I think it was the Iwo Jima. We feed their crew and or our crew at the same time.That was where I got my NAM. We hung out at a hotel that had a swimming pool on the top deck with a bar (of course). One our off time we made good use of the hotel. Had a bar down stairs.And wasclose to the Gold Suk.

was nice place to get away from the ship for a bit
It is so cool talking with others that have been there before and after me to see how it has changed.

The Summer Palace was on a beach, and open to US Military, I went there in a car with a fellow sailor who happened to be of Egyptian descent, they gave us a real hard time at the gate....that was quite an experience! It was really nice, but I didn't go back. There was a small base with a swimming pool, and I spent quite a bit of time there.
