The following article was the cover story published in The Tin Can Sailor, July-August-September issue. It contained a photo of the Beale as it would have appeared during her Vietnam deployment. The text is relevant and extremely timely as it delves into Brown Water Navy, Blue Water Navy, and the VA.
