Mayaguez Toll Now Set At 18
Washington AP Fifteen servicemen were killed in the Mayaguez rescue and three Marines, two Navy corpsmen, and two Air Force members were missing and presumed dead. About 350 American troops participated in the operation off Cambodia to free the ship and its 40-man crew. The updated casualty list shows roughly 20 percent of participants killed or wounded. The three missing Marines were last seen on the island and were not counted in the final muster. Eyewitness accounts suggest two or all three may have been captured, with no bodies recovered. Two crewmen landed in San Francisco and described Cambodian captors as ragged, using American guns and gear.
