I believe it was taken in 1965. In June 1965 she began gunfire support missions off Vietnam and I remember her comming alongside the USS Midway CV-41 to refuel in the Gulf Of Tonkin which is the same time the USS Midway was there. The division I was in also contained the photolab, so I was able to get pictures.
