Battle of the Paracel Islands: The Type 6610 minesweeper was shelled and damaged in the Paracel Islands by South Vietnamese ships and was beached to prevent sinking. Refloated, repaired and returned to service.[6]
The turnaround of the freighter (4,300 GRT) failed after the auxiliary diesel emgine failed in a storm. The ship was moored at Scharhörn until its salvage on November 17.[53]
The barge sank in Bridgeport Harbor at Bridgeport, Connecticut, in the spring of 1974 while lashed to the barges Elmer S. Dailey and Priscilla Dailey when one of them began to take on water, sank, and dragged the other two down with her.
