USS Implicit MSO-455 
Wooden Ship – Iron Men

The USS Inflict MSO-456 approaches the Implicit off the coast of South Vietnam.
The Inflict arrives to relieve the Implicit of her Market Time Patrol duty.


The wind shifted and set the Inflict into the Implicit's starboard quarter shown here.
A mooring line and winch were used to pull the Inflict forward.
