U.S.
Navy Humanitarian Service Medal with two bronze stars - Three Occasions
(Although SECNAV information sheets indicate only one Humanitarian Service Medal for Hassayampa,
this webmaster has been informed by former Hassayampa crew members that Hassayampa experienced
three occasions where this award would apply: in the
summer of 1981, working in conjunction
with
USS Barbel (SS-580), Hassayampa was instrumental in securing the rescue of 87 Vietnamese
refugees
drifting at sea in an open boat off the coast of South Vietnam.
While en-route to
Singapore to safely offload
the 87 refugees picked up by Barbel, Hassayampa came upon an
additional boat with 104 refugees. Several
years later, on May 8, 1984, Hassayampa spotted a
25-foot teak fishing boat that was adrift and located 65
miles from the nearest island and 130 miles
south of Saigon. On board was a group of 20 Vietnamese
refugees, which included many women with
infants. In all, Hassayampa had now facilitated in the rescue of
211 Vietnamese Boat People - on three different occasions.)
