Thanks to all who contributed pictures. A special thanks to MM3 Dale Schultz for opening
up his entire album for everyone to enjoy! Thanks Dale, for the trip down memory lane!!

	USS Mullinnix MT53 blazing away at enemy targets		Guys from the engine and boiler rooms have a chance to come up for fresh air and baseball. Only thing missing is the cold beer!
	USS Newport News firing 8" guns during gun fire support mission		Bob, is that an 8 Track Tape?
	MT 53 Pounding the enemy during gunfire support. The Mullinnix used Marine spotters to aid in destorying enemy targets.		This sign was mounted in one of the Enigne Rooms during the West Pac Cruise of 1972
	USS Newport News close by the Mullinnix. Note the other ship in the background.		This may have been going over, or coming home, or on the Gunline. What ever - it was a time to recharege our batteries.
	Enroute to Vietnam - USS Glennon DD840 and Mullinnix pull into Guam.		Typical Engine Room watch during Vietnam 1972. "Keeping the lights buring bright"
	Although MT 31 wasn't used as often as the 5", she could pour it on when called upon to do so.		Panama Canal loc door open - Mullinnix being pulled into next loc by electric train.
	Refueling occured every 2-3 days - tanks were always topped off.		FTG1 Tom Demko and SN Rob "Snake" Ellis.
	Taking a break - MM3 Jerry Brinkley and friends.		Heading Home - Don't let the door hit you in the ass!
	Greg "Bo" Bohmert and Jim "Slick" Holland with the proceeds of a successful day of loaning money		Patch from my Jean Jacket 1972.
