Served on this ship during Operation Apache Snow. May 15-23 1969. Also known as Hamburger Hill. We fired 6028 rounds of 5 x 38 projectiles,in those eight days. I had just gotten out of boot camp. It was a violent war. Memories still haunt today. Stories people wouldn’t believe. Navy side of this war should be told. The story I have of the Saturday night of May 17, 1969 on the bridge with the Captain Robert T Shultz. I was on the main communications with all stations of the ship. I will never forget what transpired that night. The stories kept building from there. I was 17 when I signed up. 71 now. Larry Hofferber
