re: #97 pre-Boomer Marine brat

My first time on (semi-)combat alert in the South China Sea was on Kennedy’s watch.

MY FIL was on the Maddox in Korea, same boat later involved in the “conspiracy.” He always griped about the Captain liking to close in to increase the guns effectiveness. I found log pages and other stuff on the ‘net. The Maddox was the most shot at destroyer in Korea.
