How to Steal a Navy and Save 30,000 Refugees
In
Subic Bay on May 8, 1975, American flags fly on what legally had been
the last sovereign territory of the Repbulic of Vietnam, the 32 South
Vietnam navy ships that were led there by Kirk. (National Archives).
......."That was the last vestige of South Vietnam," said Rick Sauter, one of Kirk's
officers who took command of a Vietnamese ship. "When those flags came
down and the American flags went up, that was it. Because a Navy ship is
sovereign territory, that was the last sovereign territory of the
Republic of South Vietnam."
Before
the Republic of Vietnam flags were lowered, thousands of people on the
ships started to sing the national anthem of South Vietnam, Nay cong dan oi….(Oh, citizens of the country….). "Their voices soared over the waters," Captain Do recalled. "When they lower the flag, they cry, cry, cry."
On May 7, the ships, all flying American flags, were allowed to enter
Subic Bay. They were eventually transferred to the Philippine navy.

"This was the highlight of my career," Kirk Commander Jacobs said recently. "Most of us never get the chance to command under such stressful circumstances and I'm very proud of what we did."
