Whitfield County, the tank landing ship headed for Vietnam. Touching at Naha en route,

Whitfield County took on board the men and mail to be transported to ARG "Bravo," and got underway on 2 February.
Over the ensuing month and one-half,
Whitfield County operated with ARG "Bravo" within various operating areas off the DMZ, occasionally returning to Danang for mail, fleet freight, and passengers for delivery to the other units of the ready group.

Terrell County (LST-1157) relieved
Whitfield County as support LST at Danang on 14 March." (Η
