Nam Cao
Vietnam
| Republic of Vietnam Navy
China, Japan and France. Nam Cao's father had been fighting for years in these struggles against outsiders in Vietnam. As the young Cao neared adulthood, it was North against South. He was studying at the polytechnic school in Saigon and had an eye on joining the South Vietnamese Navy. (5:37)
Nam Cao was still a university student when the Tet Offensive upended the entire country. It was scary. You could be caught in a crossfire between two sides that looked exactly the same. The Communists had worked for years to sow their ideology among the poor in the South and they expected to spark a general uprising. (8:05)
In 1970, university graduate Nam Cao joined the Republic of Vietnam Navy. It was the era of Vietnamization and the US was trying to get South Vietnam to shoulder the entire load. The first post for the new engineer was Ben Luc, where old ships were overhauled and supply operations run. (4:46)
