Final Mission of SN Richard C. Adamo

SN Richard C. Adamo and GM3 Gary L. Crampton were crewman on the U.S. Navy Harbor Utility Craft YFU-4. On February 28, 1968, YFU-4 was in a flotilla proceeding up the Cua Viet River to Dong Ha when attacked by North Vietnamese Army rocket-propelled grenade (RPG), automatic weapon, and mortar fire off Thanh Xuao in Quang Tri Province, RVN. An RPG hit the starboard 20mm gun which was manned by GM3 Crampton and SN Adamo. Both sailors died after suffering massive shrapnel wounds. Another seven crewmen were injured, two critically.
