BLUE WATER NAVY, which has a link listed above, is a very comprehensive website dedicated to
providing information those who may have been exposed to Agent Orange, which includes Hector Sailors.
On their site, they have a U.S. Government Document containing a list of Navy and Coast Guard Ships
associated with service in Vietnam and exposure to Herbicide Agents.  Hector and Ajax are named on this list (page 11),
and may be helpful if you need to make a claim for benefits due to Agent Orange exposure.
You may go directly to the List of Ships on their website by clicking HERE

ATTENTION: We are no longer accepting or answering requests to have links added to this page
that are NOT directly Military related in nature, such as Health, PTSD, Drug Addiction, Legal help, etc
This small sampling below covering those websites should be adequate to show our Shipmates that there are MANY such resources on the web.
I encourage our Shipmates to find more such sites in your area by using their favorite search engine, such as Yahoo, Google, MSN, etc.
The websites listed here HAVE NOT been checked out, NOR approved and are NOT endorsed by the Association.
TO REPRESENTATIVES OF THE ABOVE AND OTHER NON-MILITARY ORGANIZATIONS:
I often get 2 or MORE such requests weekly, and, having been Webmaster 20+ years
I could easily fill a page with a list of such websites (do the Math).
That said, please don't expect me to keep responding to such requests.
I AM A FORMER HECTOR SAILOR VOLUNTEER (FOR OVER 20 YEARS) TO KEEP UP THIS WEBSITE.
ALL I RECEIVE IS SATISFACTION FOR DOING THIS JOB FOR THE SHIP I SERVED ABOARD.

IF YOU RECEIVE NO RESPONSE TO YOUR REQUEST,  PLEASE CONSIDER YOUR REQUEST DENIED.
 IF I DECIDE TO POST YOUR REQUEST;  I WILL NOTIFY YOU AS SUCH.
Sincerely...the USS Hector Association Webmaster
