Caliente website needs to be corrected. The Cal is now officially on Agent Orange Ship List. However, 1970 only. Interesting that Cal entered harbor at An Thoi also in 1968. What happened after it entered harbor on April 25, 1968?

My grandpa Charles L. Heckadon was on the U.S.S. Caliente from 1952-1956 during the Korean war. He told me lots of stories growing up. I would love to meet someone he served with. He was very proud of his service. Thank you.

Nice pipeline issure, I was just on baord from Guam to San Diego in 1973 and a couple days after we got back to Ling Beach we got notice to decommission and was not unexpected for me as I was on 4 ships between end of my shore duty in August of 1969 and the decommissioning of the Caliente in Dec of 73 and they were the Arlington (Agmr-2) Klondike ar-22,,Ticonderoga cvs-14 and then the Caliente and back to shore duty.
