USS Implicit MSO-455 
Wooden Ship – Iron Men
Welcome to my Implicit Web Site,
I was a Storekeeper on the Implicit from 1967 to 1970. I took several hundred 35mm color slides
during two Western Pacific deployments to the Republic of South Vietnam. I scanned the slides
into my computer and here are a few of the images to honor all who served on the Implicit.
Feel free to use this link ChuckLees@ussimplicitmso-455.com to email any information
I can use to update the images in my web site or simply to say hello.
