According to this article - http://www.centredaily.com/mld/sanluisobispo/news/politics/4689266.htm - Kerry towed PCF-3 after it was disabled by the mine and there were men on PCF-3 that died during the mine explosion.

Is there anyone here who was there or can point to references that provide evidence that men on the PCF-3 died that day?

Here's a link to the Spot Report.

http://www.johnkerry.com/pdf/jkmilservice/SpotReports_March1969.pdf


Note that although the report indicates extensive damage to PCF-94 I believe it's a typo as no damage is reported to PCF-3. Such damage would not have allowed PCF-94 to tow PCF-3. The estimated repair date is 18 March 1969.

Additionally, PCF-94 was in service the next 2 days which is also impossible given the damage. It had to be PCF-3

You decide.
