My Dad was a GM on a Edsel class, DE 329 USS Finch
Was a very busy place when our ship visited in 1968 aboard ACME MSO508.
Subic,1967,USS EPPING FOREST MCS-7.
My Dad did three tours of Vietnam two on HMAS Sydney a light aircraft carrier and one on HMAS Hobart DDG 39 A Charles F Adams class destroyer on the ''Gun Line,'' he had hours of footage like this on old round tapes while he was on leave in Subic Bay, Manilla etc, wish they were still around... Great footage mate. Cheers.
Very familiar sights. Worked with BOSTON off Vietnam. HMAS HOBART 1968.
Keep an eye out for the Buchannon, DDG 14. My brother in law had some 8 mm. of the Richard looking UP during refueling at sea from around that time.

Will do!
I never understood why the Philippine government didn't allow us to keep that base open. Now with the Chicoms breathing down their necks that naval base would be of help to them.
