Need deck logs for USS OBANNON (DD-450) for 1969

Edward Mann Feb 11, 2017 1:16 PM

I need to establish eligibility for VA benefits for exposure to agent orange. I served in OBANNON from 10/68 to 1/70 which included a deployment to VN in 1969. OBANNON is not on any list I can find for that deployment. I know I personally was ashore 3 times and recall anchoring in a couple of bays or rivers.

Mr. Mann-- Thank you for contacting the History Hub. The Textual Reference Archives II Branch (RDT2) of the National Archives in College Park may have custody of the deck logs for the USS O'Bannon (DD-450) during 1969. Please contact them via email at archives2reference@nara.gov. They may have Navy Muster Rolls for that ship as well. Please let us know how your research progresses. --Becky Collier

    See links below, which is a response from NARA to an individual requesting the Obannon logs dd-450 in 2010, along with copies of the logs. .
