In this article it is noted as in January '71, but it was in December '70 (12-!5). Confusion may have been in it's one source document from the Philly shipyard BEACON publication. Only in these last few years some of the ship logs have come online (Nov '70, Dec '70 & April '75). You can find more about this on my FB page. Spooks x intel ( talk) 07:49, 14 September 2022 (UTC)

Below is pretty much what I have on my FB page:
When BR made the claim in 2020 that the virus steaming exceeded the time record of being underway set in 1972 during GOT ops of the Nam War, I raised what I thought was a technical objection because of all of the anchorages she did in 2020. For one reason or another I never looked up the definition of "underway". As you can see the definition of "underway" shows that the Blue Ridge steaming for the virus in 2020 never exceeds 29 days ! So, the BR record for days underway remains with the '72 GOT crew !
/info/en/?search=Underway "Underway, or under way, is a nautical term describing the state of a vessel. "Way" arises when there is sufficient water flow past the rudder of a vessel that it can be steered. A vessel is said to be underway if it meets the following criteria:
It is not aground
It is not at anchor
It has not been made fast to a dock, the shore, or other stationary object."

"... BLUE RIDGE arrived in Port KeLang on 09 April to support continued relations building between the US and Malaysia. In response to the terrorist attack on the USS COLE in Yemen, BLR adopted the practice of deploying a small boat and posting armed pier sentries to increase force protection. Combined with the floating barrier of barges provided by husbanding agent Mr. Francis Leonard of Glenn Marine Group, BLR was able to thwart a potential terrorist attack. A group of Malaysians attempted to attack BLR by a small boat loaded with explosives but were unable to because of the ring of barges. The group was arrested while robbing a bank in an attempt to gain more money for explosives. ..." From the 2001 Command Operation Report for BR.
