Publisher Description: "Greyhound in Vietnam", Richard M. Bush, Senior Chief Petty Officer, United States Navy (Ret.): Richard Bush served as crew on several United States Navy warships. Favored among them is USS Lynde McCormick (DDG 8); the "Best DDG". "Greyhound in Vietnam" manuscript evolved from a near- daily sea-journal penned aboard McCormick while Richard was Gunfire Control Technician Petty Officer Second Class, USN. Navy destroyer McCormick, a "greyhound", engaged a Western Pacific Ocean deployment, 1 October 1971 through 10 March 1972 (5 1/3 Months; 161 days). McCormick operated southeast Asia, offshore and in river deltas, in support of United States and Vietnamese troops in South Vietnam. Too, McCormick operated close inshore, Gulf of Tonkin, in support of U. S. pilots who flew missions against well defended North Vietnam shore-targets. |
