HMM-362 was the first USMC helicopter unit to deploy to South Vietnam aboard USS Princeton on 15 Apr until 31 Jul 1962, when it was relieved at Soc Trang by HMM-163.
1961-1963, I was on the USS Princeton LPH 5 when YL Squadron flew aboard. Oct. 1963 to Sept. 1964 I joined the Squadron at Santa Anna California. -
1961-1963, I'm Lcp Tim Jones Stationed on USS Princeton Lph-5 from Novn1961 thru Oct 1963. I was transferred two Hmm 362 until September 1964. It was during Pease time and normal traing operationnWhile on the Princeton I can only remember YL and maybe YP being aboard. All we did was to park them.
1988-1992, I was assigned to HMH-362. Assigned to the USS Saipan (LHA-2) in 1989/90. Someone noted that the tail code on one had an ME on it. I've always known us to have the YL, and every database I searched showed this to be true. I took the pictures, so I know they haven't been tampered with. Any thoughts why we would have had the ME on there? Thank you for your help. Ken Schubert
Deactivated on 30 November 2012. Reactivated as VMM-362 on 17 August 2016, flying the MV-22 Osprey.
