At some point during the Vietnam War Operation Market Time divided the Coastal Areas into Patrol Sectors so Market time units could be assigned patrol areas, and to produce nightly reports on patrol activities for the day. When standing the early 1966 mid-watch on MSC-207 USS Widgeon, I recall having to obtain the Captain’s signature on the form, and it was then submitted by the RM for transmission, I assume to our assigned Coastal Surveillance Center. As a first hand witness to 24/7 junk searching, this report was the Navy’s “body count” equivalent.
