Marine Detatchment


Shipmate Vincent Niehaus, Sgt USMC, 68-71 has a vast number of photographs, mostly of the Marine Detatchment, that were made during his time aboard. I am showing the first few here, but I will create a Marine Photo Section to properly display them in some sort of order. I invite all shipmates to share any Marine related photos for this new section, and, of course, any photos at all from the Oklahoma City. -Joe Caruso
