KJakker Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) colmack, let me know when you are ready to do the data file on that USS Oklahoma City (CLG-5). Found this video on YouTube. USS Oklahoma City CLG 5 Combat Action Near the DMZ, Vietnam. Also it occurred to me that if Colmack can get us the USS Oklahoma City (CLG-5), and the ThirdWire GearingFRAM1B is able to act as USS Higbee (DD-806) and USS Lloyd Thomas (DD-764) then all we need is a Belknap class frigate/cruiser model for the USS Sterett (DLG/CG-31) and we could reenact the Battle of Dong Hoi. Battle of Dong Hoi links. Battle of Đồng Hới at wikipedia. Analysis of the Battle of Dong Hoi by Stuart Slade. The Battle of Dong Hoi - Alternative Views: Review of the Battle of Dong Hoi by Larry Rouse. US Navy vs. Cruise Missiles? - the Battle off Dong Hoi. Be sure to read the comments at the bottom of this one. The comments all appear to be serious remakes made my veterans. First-Hand:The Naval Tactical Data System in Combat - Chapter 7 of the Story of the Naval Tactical Data System. Scroll down to "Sterett and the MiGs". The whole article is interesting to read however. Battle of Dong Hoi - What was it that the Sterret shot down? A good discussion with lots of interesting info and a number of comments by USN veterans who were there or in the area at the time. USS Higbee - Battle of Dong Hoi - PDF file. "The Battle off Dong Hoi - by Elden G. Miller - Updated 4-19-2001" from the Internet Archive copy of "www.sterett.org/battle.htm". Edited for links and related comments.
