August 2018 \u2013 Veterans benefits eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure requires that a Veteran\u2019s military service involved \u201cduty or visitation in the Republic of Vietnam\u201d between January 9, 1962 and May 7, 1975. Service includes being within the country of Vietnam itself or aboard a ship that operated on the inland waterways of Vietnam. Service does not include being aboard a large ocean-going ship that operated only on the offshore waters of Vietnam, unless evidence shows that a Veteran went ashore. Inland waterways include canals, deltas, estuaries, and rivers. They do not include open deep-water bays and harbors such as those at Cam Ranh Bay Harbor, Da Nang Harbor, Ganh Rai Bay, Nha Trang Harbor, Qui Nhon Bay Harbor, or Vung Tau Harbor. These are considered to be part of the offshore waters of Vietnam because of their deep-water anchorage capabilities and open access to the South China Sea.<\/p>\n
A ship is placed on the eligibility list when documentary evidence shows that it fits into one or more of the five categories of ships that operated on the waters of Vietnam. The required evidence can come from an official ship history, deck logs, cruise books, Captain\u2019s letters, or similar documents. Evidence requirements for the presumption of Agent Orange exposure may vary depending on what dates the Veteran was aboard and what ship activity occurred on those dates. Ship categories include:<\/p>\n
1.) Ships operating primarily or exclusively on Vietnam\u2019s inland waterways
\n2.) Ships operating temporarily on Vietnam\u2019s inland waterways
\n3.) Ships that docked to shore or pier in Vietnam
\n4.) Ships operating on Vietnam\u2019s close coastal waters for extended periods with evidence that crew members went ashore
\n5.) Ships operating on Vietnam\u2019s close coastal waters for extended periods with evidence that smaller craft from the ship regularly delivered supplies or troops ashore<\/p>\n
The list of ship names below are in alphabetical order. They are being provided to assist US Navy or Coast Guard Veterans of the Vietnam era in determining their potential eligibility for the presumption of Agent Orange herbicide exposure based on operations of the Veteran\u2019s ship. To search for a ship by name or designation, use the FIND (CRTL+ F) function in your browser and then type either the ship\u2019s designation or name. A specific ship may be listed more than once, based upon its activities.<\/p>\n
USS Agerholm (DD-826) operated on Song Nga River and Ganh Rai Bay during March-April 1969 In addition to its name, all US Navy and Coast Guard vessels are assigned letters and numbers, usually painted on the forward hull of the ship, that identify the ship type and the numerical order in which it was built. Ships on the above list are arranged alphabetically and then by the ship type letter designations and then numerically by hull numbers within that ship type. As an example, for the USS Ingersoll (DD-652), \u201cDD\u201d represents the \u201cdestroyer\u201d ship type and the number shows that this is the 652nd destroyer built for sea service.<\/p>\n This list is evolving and is not complete. Therefore, the presumption of Agent Orange exposure should not be denied solely because the Veteran\u2019s ship is not on this list.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August 2018 \u2013 Veterans benefits eligibility for the presumption of …<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[21,12,15,22],"class_list":["post-7064","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-veteran-news","tag-agent-orange","tag-veteran-benefits","tag-veteran-news","tag-vietnam"],"yoast_head":"\n
