USS Passumpsic (AO-107) was a Cimarron-class fleet oiler commissioned by the United States Navy in 1946. Designed to refuel warships at sea, she played a crucial logistical role during the Korean War, the Vietnam War, and Cold War operations in the Pacific. Passumpsic conducted numerous underway replenishments, enabling sustained naval operations far from port. After decades of distinguished service, she was decommissioned in 1973 and later transferred to the Military Sealift Command, continuing her support role under a civilian crew.

USS Richard S. Edwards (DD-950) was a Forrest Sherman-class destroyer commissioned by the United States Navy in February 1959. Named after Admiral Richard S. Edwards, the ship served extensively in the Pacific Fleet, participating in numerous operations during the Vietnam War, including naval gunfire support and search and rescue missions. Throughout her service, USS Richard S. Edwards earned several commendations for her performance and dedication. She was decommissioned in December 1982 and subsequently struck from the Naval Vessel Register.
