Hello Patrick,
I was at the south end of Cam Ranh Bay and our worry was not NVAs. It was the possibility that the Chinese Air Force would attack Cam Ranh Bay. We were told that the Chinese policy was to dump massive amounts of napalm on the ADA batteries. So I always thought that any attack would submit me and my launching sections to a terrible fate. In the end, however, the only time my battery was attacked was after I was back home, when the VC sent mortar shells into our battery during the Tet Offensive.
