Would anchoring in DaNang harbor be considered brown water or blue water?

Hi Michael,

I also anchored in DaNang Harbor. The airport control tower was severely damaged by a mortar attack and my ship came in to assume duties for air control during the emergency.

I voted that I was blue water because I spent most of my time there. I did not step foot on South Vietnamese soil. I did however make a trip to the USS Repose in harbor.

Served TAD to the First Marine Air Wing, Danang, and aboard the USS Constellation CVA-64. 1969-1970 Westpac cruise. Ships company.
