Well, right now, you know as much about BM2 Anderson as I do. I do not recall his first name and I do not recall the exact date that he transferred off the USS Hammerburg. I believe it was sometime around June or July 1966. Where exactly in Vietnam and on what river, I do not have a clue. They never told us. Only that "he was on a river patrol" when it happened, plus the other details that I relayed in my previous message. Were there other river patrols on vessels other than swift boats??? The information on BM2 Anderson was received by our Captain at the time and relayed to the crew over the PA system, so I don't think it was bull (untrue).

I just read your message again and see that there were other patrol vessels (PBRs and MRFs) that he might have been on. They didn't tell us what type of vessel he was assigned to, only that he was on a "river patrol" at the time of the incident.

Oh well, thanks for the reply. I guess it will remain a mystery.
