Final Seminole WESTPAC 1969-70

Comments: I served on Seminole for a short time, Oct 69-Sep 70 and made her last cruise before she was decommisioned in 1970. I was an ETR3 and maintained the surface search radar and IFF systems. Also helped install the boat radios and often rode in the heavy salvage boat as duty ET.

I've lost my cruise book for the cruise and would like to get a list of what ports we visited, dates, etc. I recall escorting two small PG's across the pond, visits to Hong Kong, Sasebo, Okinawa, Subic and a short stay in Danang.
