John in Vietnam, praising South Vietnamese forces and suggesting possible withdrawal of up to 60,000 U.S. troops without ceding territory. He warns against panicked pullouts, envisions a Korea-like settlement with air and naval support, and invites letters to the editor with names and addresses.

Captain Randall Kriner, veteran seaman and chief of ship operations at the Maritime Administration, explains that while American ships meet high private and Coast Guard standards, many vessels built in the 1940s are aging out. He notes 600 of 900 active ships may fail due to age and cost to seaworthiness, prompting questions about subsidies and global competition with the Soviet and other Free World fleets.
