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.
