Good video. I was at CRB in 1970 and we'd talk about going back after the war and becoming millionaires by turning Cam Ranh Bay into a tourist resort. I guess the Commies don't appreciate Capitalism. We whipped the Commies good with Linebacker I and II in 1972, and left but then the South Vietnamese lost in 1975. We handed the South the football and they fumbled it. We all knew the South was too corrupt to survive.

I enjoyed the History of Cam Ranh Bay, thanks for the video. I was a construction surveyor in the 864 Engineering Battalion at Cam Ranh Bay from Jan 1966 to Jan 1967. I have many pictures from that time if they would be on interest to anyone. I spent my year traveling up and down the coast surveying airstrips, roads and other infrastructure. I spend a fair amount of time in Na Trang, with our line Company C.
I might have been the first person (well maybe one of the first) to stand on the Navy beach and declare that someday that there would be a resort built there and that Americans would flock to the area.
I've learned a lot from this video that I never knew when I was there. btw, facilities are not intact. Most everything was pulled down and recycled by the Vietnamese after the Americans left in 1972. Any standing facilities were probably built by the Russians after '75. 12th TFW airport is now Nha Trang Municipal Airport. There has to be a beautiful resort in Cam Ranh's future. The beaches were incomparable. I was especially fond of the one near Navy Market Time.
The Tower and Parachute loft remain. I saw a sattelite picture from 1977 showing soviet ships docking at the de long floating pier. The barracks at Herky Hill were clearly visible,

What a great three part series. Most of the facilities still appear intact when viewed on Google map, although disturbingly abondoned.
