TRIANGLE

Hi,
Rick Wooley USS Fred T. Berry, (DD858)
Deck Logs show we were 6 miles from Can Loi Island, 17.2 miles from Rong Center, and 12 miles from Ba Dong Island
I'm able to find Can Loi Island on Google Earth.
I have NO clue where and what was Rong Center, or where or what Ba Dong Island is or was.
We were in that triangle on 15 Mar 1966, firing 194 rounds of 5"38 shells.
Can someone figure out where we were? I can't because there is NO info on Ba Dong Island or Rong Center, also Google Earth is NO help.
5 fathoms of water, muddy, sandy bottom.
Can any swift boat sailors help me............Rick
