Comments: Just wanted to let you guys know there is a model of your ship for sale on EBay . Someone might be interested. I’m in no way affiliated with the seller. Thanks for your service. Semper Fi MarDet USSLONG BEACH.
Comments: I served on USS INDRA from 1967 (pre-commissioning detail) to 1969. We did one tour in the rivers of what once was South Vietnam. Our primary mission was to outfit and put into service approximately 80 river assault craft for River Squardons 13 and 15. To say that I miss INDRA and my shipmates is an understatement.
