DE 708 and PCF 46
U.S. Navy
Certainly! Here are short military histories for each unit: **USS Bangust (DE-708):** USS Bangust was a Buckley-class destroyer escort commissioned by the United States Navy in 1944. Serving in the Pacific Theater during World War II, Bangust was credited with anti-submarine and convoy escort duties, notably sinking the Japanese submarine I-29 in July 1944. The ship participated in numerous operations, protecting vital supply lines and supporting amphibious landings through the end of the war. Bangust was decommissioned in 1946 and later transferred to the Philippine Navy. **PCF 46 ("Swift Boat 46"):** PCF 46 was a Patrol Craft Fast (PCF), commonly known as a "Swift Boat," deployed by the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam War. These boats were primarily used for coastal patrol, interdiction, and insertion/extraction of special operations forces along the rivers and coasts of South Vietnam. PCF 46 participated in numerous patrols and combat engagements, supporting counterinsurgency and riverine operations. The Swift Boats, including PCF 46, were instrumental in the Navy's "brown water" operations throughout the conflict.

Defense Atomic Support Agency, Lake Mead Base, Las Vegas, NV
U.S. Navy
The Defense Atomic Support Agency (DASA) operated a facility at Lake Mead Base near Las Vegas, Nevada, during the height of the Cold War. Established in the late 1950s, the base supported DASA’s mission of overseeing and coordinating U.S. nuclear weapons testing and related activities, particularly at the nearby Nevada Test Site. Personnel at Lake Mead Base provided logistical, scientific, and technical support for atomic test operations, including radiological safety and data collection. The base remained active into the early 1970s, contributing to America's nuclear readiness before its functions were absorbed by successor agencies.
