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.
My Navy recruit company commander (1967) was an ABHC on the Bon Homme Richard, just prior to being saddled with a bunch of boots. I would later (1969) pass through Subic Bay on way to my second ship, USS Diodon. Narragansett Bay
I believe the vessel you highlight just prior to USS Bon Homme Richard (CV-31) is the USS Taluga (AO-62) rather the the USS Bellatrix (AF-62). At least she appears to have the profile of an oiler rather than a stores ship.
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.

Was there aboard the USS T.E. Chandler DD-717 left Septic Bay to do NGFS Dec-Jan. 68
Excellent video. Thank you. We need to go back to 1967.
Great video. I deployed there many times in VP squadrons.
Was a very busy place when our ship visited in 1968 aboard ACME MSO508.
My Dad was a GM on a Edsel class, DE 329 USS Finch
Cool video. I served about the USS Bon Homme Richard for two cruises - 69 and 70
Glad you liked it! I have several USS Bon Homme Richard videos here on my channel. Check them out under the Playlist "Vietnam War" or "Navy"
Very familiar sights. Worked with BOSTON off Vietnam. HMAS HOBART 1968.
Subic,1967,USS EPPING FOREST MCS-7.
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!
