17 June found the "Fiske" supporting the 2nd Battalion, 4th Division, U.S. Marines in "Operation Dodge" in the area of the ancient Vietnamese capital of Huế. During the next four days of "Operation Dodge", "Fiske" fired night illumination missions. Subsequently, "Fiske" was detached and ordered south to the "III Corps Operational Area" for a mission requiring "Fiske" to transit up the Mekong River nearly to Saigon. The mission was cancelled at the last minute, but not before some hands witnessed nighttime "Arc Light" B-52 raids, and "Puff" firing its Gatling guns from the air to the ground in the area of the Mekong River delta.
