Following are links to photos taken by Rick Johnson, the
father of Paul Johnson,

His father was a reporter for the Indianapolis Star and, while in Vietnam, spent
a few days aboard
the USS FDR in the Gulf of Tonkin, November of 1966.
There are more than USS FDR photos, but he thought many of you may be interested
