USS JOUETT (DLG-29) 1968 CRUISE BOOK — PAGES 92-93

After a trip to the U.S. Naval Station, Yokosuka, Japan, where JOUETT and her

crew recovered from the rigors of the first line period, the ship returned to the

Tonkin Gulf in early April. Our second line period involved some changes from the

first--clear skies greeted us, as the annual monsoon had ended--and a second helicop-

ter, the larger SH-3, was added to our SAR Team during daylight hours.
