Ships Corpsman from 1979-1982. Great ship, Great sailors. Lots of great memories, one of my greatest tours in the Navy....

Still my favorite command after serving 27 years in the Navy. I was on Implicit from 85-89. Lots of great memories.

Wow--super site and terrific pictures! I served aboard the USS INFLICT as a storekeeper from 1956-1959. great shipmates-great ship-great navy.

GREAT site! I just stumbled on it looking for old shipmates. I have bookmarked it to add to the others from our little ship era. Many thanks for bringing back many memories. Floyd Farrar, EM 2 USS Inflict MSO 456 1959-1962

I was an ETR3 66-68. Pictures are GREAT. I remember Joe Verlico and Steve Booth. Still live in St. Louis, MO. Go Cardinals!!!!!

This sight is a joy to behold! I hit the decks of the USS Inflict MSO456 in Apl. 74 and danced with the haze-grey lady from Guam to Portland Me. It's great to her at sea and before she was extended and given the SQQ14 sonar system too. I'll recommend this sight to any ole swab jockie, not just the sweep-sailors!

Chusk; I really enjoyed your Implicit web page. It sure brought back a lot of memories on this Memorial Day, I was the XO from June 61' to Feb 64' We came up with the " Wooden Ship- Iron Men" motto and the original palque- themailed fist crushing an exploding mine. We (MinDiv91) made the first deployment to Vietnam in 1962. A real fun trip--we were told to "patrol" and that was about it. So, we made up our own patrol plans and reported everything we saw moving. We also managed to wrap Persistent's anchor chain around our port shaft in Da Nang harbor. Does anyone out there remember that fiasco?

Hi, Nice to see the photos. I serven aboard the USS Leader and the USS advance during the time 1965-1970. Lots of memories. RMC Larry Wiens USN retired

BZ, Chuck! Superb pictures! I invite you to visit our Swift Boat Sailors Association web site at http://www.swiftboats.org/ and also http://www.pcf45.com/index.html - subsections Sa Ky Victory, Sa Ky Aftermath and Epilogue. These sites tell the story of the captrue of the enemy trawler shown in your section Market Time 7 or 8. Our boat (PCF-79) and crew was involved in the capture of that trawler - code named Skunk Alpha. Thank you for the memories... Raul Herrera, Chu Lai April '67-'68

Great website Chuck. Brings back so many fond, not so fond memories. Lots of hard work you did & a big BZ to you. I served aboard Swiftboats 67/68 & was aboard the USS Ajax AR6 at India 8 in Sasebo in 64.

Terrific site...great photos of our best Minesweeper. I served in PCF's when these photos were taken and later had the honor of commanding Implicit during our Nation's BiCentennial in 1976. Well done.

Wonderful collection! I will post your link on the Yokosuka Sasebo Network http://yokosuka.ning.com/ USS Enhance MSO-437 '77-'78

Ahoy, Thank you for the finepictures, allowing us to see from a differant angle. Must have run along side at one point during "Market Time" in I Corp; I was a gunner on PCF 20 working out of Da Nang & Chu Lai, 10/69-09/69. Sea Ya Mate

There goes those memories again! I'll think about these pictures for the next two days now. Served as engineering officer aboard USS Inflict (MSO 456) on Marketime in 1968. I can still remember some of those days as if they just occured. Thanks for sharing your memories with us. S. Wayne Nuss CDR USNR Retired

Great job in putting this site together. I served aboard USS Impervious (MSO449) 1968-1972 - your photos help to keep the memories alive.
