This is a picture of CG-21 copped off the Internet

Gridley 1985 Port side

Danang Harbor - It even looked nasty from there!

Armored SH-3 used to rescue downed pilots.

This is one of those "made up" pictures of CG-21 steaming through explosive waters but it is still one of my favorites.  I got one when I went aboard in the 80's.  Thank God it never actually happened when I was aboard.  From Leon Moore
