Summary

[edit]
Description The U.S. Navy amphibious assault ship USS Okinawa (LPH-3) underway in the South China Sea in January 1969. Note that Okinawa has several Sikorsky UH-34D Sea Horse helicopters of Marine Medium Helicopter Transport Squadron 362 "Ugly Angels" parked on her flight deck. HMM-362 was the last active U.S. Marine Corps squadron to fly the UH-34 "Huss" (the nickname derived from the pre-1962 designation HUS-1). The squadron flew the last combat missions of the UH-34 and on 18 August 1969 held a ceremony at Phu Bai, Vietnam, marking the end of its combat role.
