USS Kirk 1087 joined Operation Frequent Wind and helped civilians evacuate the remaining 18 ships of the Vietnam Republic Navy, and sent 32,000 Vietnamese refugees to the Philippines, so they could then immigrate to wherever.

    RIP, Captain Jacobs.

    Was there aboard USS Badger (FF-1071) at the same time.
