Comments: An N2 or OSS(replaced to CIA) Intelligence sporting a thick civilian-look hair, serving in the United States Navy was a sort of combat prodigy for some "expendable derelicts". Officially classified as a NOC (non-official coverage)derived backing as a Navy Personnel. Extenuating circumstances and/or situations had cause the OSS to ceased and is officially now the CIA. Diversified assignments or collateral duties while aboard this ship with other N2, had significantly saved lives, government funds and timeline. Communist backed VCs and civilians was the mortal enemy as compared to the North Vietnamese actual forces encounters.
