Lý Thường Kiệt
When South Vietnam collapsed at the end of the Vietnam War in late April 1975, "Lý Thường Kiệt" fled to Subic Bay in the Philippines, packed with South Vietnamese refugees. On 22 May 1975 and 23 May 1975, a U.S. Coast Guard team inspected "Lý Thường Kiệt" and five of her sister ships, which also had fled to the Philippines in April 1975. One of the inspectors noted: "These vessels brought in several hundred refugees and are generally rat-infested. They are in a filthy, deplorable condition. Below decks generally would compare with a garbage scow."
