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.

Comments: Hello my Dad served on this ship according to his discharge papers but I don't see his name in the shipmates list. Best I can tell it looks like he served from 1950 - 1952 and I know he was in the Korean War and I also know he did spend time in Japan because he brought my Mom Japanese souviniers. His name is James Burns Schmatz. he has passed away now, I just wondered if there was any information out there about his time on this ship. If anyone knew my Dad I would LOVE to hear from you!
