	Blurry picture but look at the reel-to-reel tape decks! The prices were unbelievable!!		Unidentified shipmates listening to music on their new equipment
	Pete Lamarre and mates in M-div. compartment (below mt 53) listening to music on their new reel-to-reel machines		Roach-coach on the fantail Hong Kong style. Note the depth-charges on the fantail of the other tincan
	Mullinnix with 3 other cans in Hong Kong harbor 1969		Sister ship USS Richard S Edwards DD-950. Note she still has her forward 3" gunmount. Also note the director configuration is opposite of Mullinnix (MK68 Director forward and MK56 Director aft).
	Unidentified shipmate relaxing on messdecks. Note the 1st Class mess in the background and the certificates on the wall. Also, the popcorn machine in the corner, the lips on the tables, and the stools attached to the deck. Is that bug juice?		Joe Leatherman and 4 unidentified shipmates
	Point Welcome - Danang harbor		Mullinnix taking on more fuel and ammo. Note the 2 fuel lines as well as the pallet of 5" from unidentified supply ship.
	Snipe workspace - engine room or boiler room???		Stereo equipment was strapped into empty racks for shipment home. In 1972 we loaded all the stereo equipment in the empty magazines for fear of the ship being too top-heavy to weather storms safely.
	Mullinnix "Star Shell" lights up the beach for a night mission		Huge white Budda statue in Cam Rahn Bay Vietnam
