I spent some time on a DLG target in the Gulf of Tonkin Yacht Club before I submerged. Left her the year the N. Koreans shot down a PBY in international waters - 1968. Nixon sent the entire Pacific fleet, except us and a few others, to Korea. I had orders to school and was roped up to a Chinook, flown all around the Gulf, landed on a carrier, was shot off that and dropped in the Phillipines. After that, subs were no problem.
