(added 08-18-2011) Dan,
I am attaching a single photo of the Stoddard during a
Vertrep operation in late 1968 or early 1969.
I was
a Photographer's Mate aboard the USS Mars and often flew
with the HC-7 crews as they resupplied ships on station in
the Gulf of Tonkin. I was doing some research for the Mars,
scanning a bunch of old slides, negatives and photos. I was
attempting to identify some of the ships in my photographs
and, fortunately, the Stoddard was easy since the ship's
name is visible in the picture. It is the only photo I took
of the Stoddard and thought you might like to have it for
your archives.
Best,
Geron Marcom PH2, USN 1967-1970
