That Swift Boat crew directory is inconsistent with O'Neill's story that he took over Kerry's command of boat 46 or 66...

According to the crew Roster O'Neill took over Peck's boat No. 96, but only after a Ltjg. Salinas had served aboard as OinC.

O'Neill shows serving on another boat, but not Kerry's old command.

All I am saying here is that the data in these rosters appears suspect and we don't know how it was gathered.

I know from some personal experience that record keeping in Nam was not the very best. I would suspect that written records would not hold up in court. My own payroll and leave records were a mess. I never bothered trying to get them straightened out because I was afraid it would delay my separation.
