1966: USAF ask US Coast Guard for help during flight navigation. A USCG team was sent to South-East Asia to install four Loran C stations at Sattahip and Lampang (Thaîland), Con Son, and later Tan My (Vietnam). They were helped by a USCG C-123.
1975: The day before Saigon fell the Loran Station on Con Son Island was evacuated. The final radio messages were:
To: Con Son. From COMSEASEC. "Destroy equipment. Evacuate aboard Air America chopper. When safely evacuated, advise COMSEASEC your location and names of personnel. Also equipment salvaged, if any."
