Da Nang, South Vietnam, April, 1971: Marines from the 1st Marine Division file aboard the USS Anchorage, on their way home from their tour of duty in Vietnam. The ship's departure marked the end of the Keystone Robin operation, during which the 7th Fleet carried more than 1,600 Marines out of the country in the sixth increment of troop redeployment.
