<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jwt708, post: 3220747, member: 32619&quot;]I have no clue what TTTL/HQ is, it&#039;s a mystery to me. NSC is Naval Support Center I think. I&#039;m no expert on the history of the Vietnam War or Da Nang AB but the Marines did have a presence in Da Nang (Marble Mountain) and&nbsp; the Navy established a port there to support the Marines, Naval Support Activity or NAVSUPPTACT.</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re so inclined, check out this digitized &quot;yearbook&quot; from NAVSUPPACT Da Nang 1966-1967:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/museums/Seabee/Cruisebooks/postwwiicruisebooks/NSAcruisebooks/NAVSUPPACT%2C%20Danang%20Vietnam%201966-67.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/museums/Seabee/Cruisebooks/postwwiicruisebooks/NSAcruisebooks/NAVSUPPACT%2C%20Danang%20Vietnam%201966-67.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/museums/Seabee/Cruisebooks/postwwiicruisebooks/NSAcruisebooks/NAVSUPPACT, Danang Vietnam 1966-67.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>For some more info on the Navy&#039;s actives at NAVSUPPTACT Da Nang check out:</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.mrfa.org/us-navy/us-navy-mobile-riverine-force/u-s-naval-bases-support-activities-vietnam/danang-u-s-naval-support-activity-1964-1973/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.mrfa.org/us-navy/us-navy-mobile-riverine-force/u-s-naval-bases-support-activities-vietnam/danang-u-s-naval-support-activity-1964-1973/" rel="nofollow">http://www.mrfa.org/us-navy/us-navy-mobile-riverine-force/u-s-naval-bases-support-activities-vietnam/danang-u-s-naval-support-activity-1964-1973/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m going to quote some info from MSG Ray Bows&#039; (retired) &quot;Vietnam Military Lore 1959-1973...Another Way to Remember&quot; (pg 333):</p><p><br /></p><p><b>U.S. Navy Support Activity, Da Nang</b> was located at the French Built Camp Tien Sha, the China Beach R&amp;R Center and the White Elephant Building in downtown Da Nang. The tokens here were used at all location in Da Nang, as well as two enlisted clubs in Chu Lai, the CPO Club at Chu Lai, the Dong Ha Ramp All Hands Club, the Tan My CPO Club, the Chy Lai Officers&#039; Club, the Quang Tri All Hands Club and the Hue Ramp All Hands Club.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bows catalog number from his book is DN377N-5, and it&#039;s pictured.</p><p><br /></p><p>Da Nang was (is?) the second largest city in South Vietnam at the time of the war and there was a large US presence. Bows goes further than Cunningham with breaking down which specific installations tokens were used at and I think Cunningham was wrong to put this token against Da Nang AB.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thank you for posting this token [USER=1886]@longnine009[/USER] I enjoyed researching the Naval activities in Da Nang![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
