Harold Edward Holt (05 August 1908 - presumed dead 17 December 1967) was an Australian politician who became the 17th Prime Minister of Australia in 1966. His term as
Prime Minister dramatically ended in December of the following year when he disappeared while swimming at Cheviot Beach near Portsea and was presumed drowned. Holt spent 32 years
in Parliament, including many years as a senior Cabinet Minister, but was Prime Minister for only 22 months. This necessarily limited his personal and political impact, especially when
compared to his immediate predecessor Robert Menzies, who was PM for a total of 18 years.
Today, Holt is mainly remembered for the sensational circumstances of his death, for his controversial role in expanding Australia's involvement in the Vietnam War and for his famous (or
infamous) "All the way with LBJ" quote. In the opinion of his biographer Tom Frame, this has tended to obscure the many achievements of Holt's long and distinguished political career.
USS Harold E. Holt (DE 1074) (1971-1992) was the first ship named in his honor, she was also the first American warship to bear the name of a foreign head of state.

1971: An at-sea view of USS Harold E. Holt (DE 1074) being overflown by a US-2C "Tracker" aircraft from Fleet Composite Squadron ONE (VC-1) stationed at
NAS Barber's Point, Oahu, HI. I was attached to VC-1 from 1971 through 1973. Our US-2C aircraft were used to tow target sleeves for surface-to-air gunnery practice for ships operating
out of Pearl Harbor. Our squadron operated the Fleet photo Lab at Barbers Point from which this photo was acquired. |

1975: In May 1975, about a month after the fall of Phnom Penh in Cambodia to Communists, the Khmer Rouge seized the American freighter SS Mayaguez in disputed
waters off Cambodia. Unites States forces sent to the rescue included USS Harold E. Holt (DE 1074), USS Coral Sea (CV 43) and USS Henry B. Wilson
(DDG 7). In the midst of actions which have been debated, 41 Americans died while the Khmer Rouge was concurrently releasing the crew and the ship.
