All the Men on the Gig (Black Velvet One) were also issued the Combat Action Ribbon from the Wilson. They were also under direct fire from the Island

Someone asked if the ships participating in the Mayaguez operation recieved Combat Action Ribbons. Here's the story as I know it.
I was stationed aboard the Henry B. Wilson (DDG-7) during all three operations. I was an STG-2 at the time. During the Mayaguez mission swift boat activity was reported in the area. Normally we would have had 50 cal. installed where the torpedo tubes where to combat swift boats. The Sonar gang whould normally man the 50 cals. (we were in the Weapons Division) Because we did not have the 50 cals during the Mayaguez mission the ST's were station on deck with M-1's and M-60's to protect the ship from the reported swift boats. The Sonar gang was awarded Combat Action Ribbons for this (no one else on the ship was). Also, the crew of the Mayaguez was delivered to the Wilson in a fishing boat.
