Comments: I went to Viet Nam on the Hugh J. Gaffey, in September of 1965. My unit, the 71st Artillery (a Hawk Missile outfit), and a complement of Marines that were also on board, may have been the last to travel by ship to Viet Nam. We stopped in Okinawa on the way, and went through a huge typhoon between Okinawa and Qui Nhon, Viet Nam, our ultimate destination. I've tried to find anything on the internet that mentions our trip, but have failed to do so. Funny story about the trip: some of us were playing poker when some merchant marines came into our bay. One of them told us that gambling was not permitted on the ship. I told him that we only took orders from our officers, not from merchant marines, and suggest he ****-off. A short time later, I was called to my battalion commanders cabin, where I was informed that the man I had insulted was the ship's Captain, and that even my battalion CO took orders from him! I spent the rest of the trip on KP, including our trip through the typhoon.

Before the USS GEN. CC BALLOU (AP 157) did troop rotation duty in Japan and Korea, it was a refugee vessel sailing between Europe and North America (in 1950 to 1952). I came over on it in Dec. of 1950. Can anyone send a picture? Thanks, Max Tomaszewski.

We were USAF dependents who went to the Phillipines on the MSTS ship USAT General C. G. Morton, formerly the USS General C. G. Morton (AP-138). 28 days to Manila with stops in Hawaii and Guam. This was in January of 1951. We sailed from San Francisco, but I was too young to remember exactly where. Was it Fort Mason?
My sister and I still have the certificates that we were issued the day we crossed the International Date Line. Everyone wore their clothes backwards. We also remember the frequent Man Overboard drills. And I still think fondly of Captain Bang of the Morton, who would invite children up to the bridge to blow the ship's horn and say hello to our mothers on the public address system.
I just found a wonderful picture of the Morton at:
http://www.Msts-society.com/cg-morton.jpg
We came home in 1952 on a sistership, the USNS General D. E. Aultman (T-AP-156), formerly the USS General D. E. Aultman (AP-156).
As we left Honolulu, heading for home, there was a military band that played, "California, Here I Come."
Would love to hear from other military kids who traveled by MSTS, and from anyone from one of these ships.
