Off the coast of South Vietnam, May 15, 1967: Crewmen aboard the LST Harnett County work to prepare Seawolf helicopters for their next mission. The Seawolf gunships were working in cooperation with Navy PBRs (Patrol Boat River) on patrols of the Mekong Delta while the Harnett County was anchored near the Co Chien River, about 60 miles south of Saigon.
