The incident mentioned was off the coast of Vietnam at approx 2am. The Turner
Joy was actually hit by a 30cal round in the ward room. the only casualty was
the wardroom stereo of the USS Turner Joy. The USS Lynde McCormick did return
fire with a deck mounted 50Cal and I believe the USS Sterett lobbed a couple of
illumination rounds. |
