I was assigned to SCRF at the base of Monkey Mountain from July 68 to Aug.69. I witnessed the rocket attack on LCU 1500 & YFU 78.
I responded to bridge ramp the following morning to overhaul and cut up the boats. As I was kneelling down to cut up fragments I felt
something under my knee and recovered a partial jaw bone with teeth. I gave it to an officer for ID purposes. I have many photos of the
incident with all the 155 rounds strewn all over the area. The front of YFU-78 on the ramp and the LCU-1500 blown in half back in the
water. There was an article in the VFW magazine also detailing this event.
