This website indicates that the Kitty Hawk was awarded the RVN Gallantry Cross with Palm, Unit Award. What were the inclusive dates for that award? Thank you.

Flag officers from the Republic of Vietnam came aboard during the 1973-1974 WESTPAC and conducted an award ceremony on the hanger deck. They presented the RVN Gallantry Cross with Palm to the Kitty Hawk for action in Operation Linebacker, May-October 1972.

Thank you very much. That's just the information I've been looking for!
