Navy to free personnel for Vietnam duties by tying up ships
The Navy will discharge over 90,000 enlisted personnel early to free key men for Vietnam war duty, tying up 49 ships in Atlantic and Pacific fleets. The move aims to save about $18 million and meet Southeast Asia staffing needs, with 3,700 petty officers and 2,500 tender personnel affected. The Navy says the shift immobilizes ships to staff battle groups and destroyers for combat duty.

John Moss chairing the subcommittee noted concerns about timely public release ahead of Congress adjournment while denying proof of White House intervention. The report, fifth in a series of 25 on aid in Vietnam, awaits clearance from the full House Government Operations Committee.
