If your ship provided gunfire support to the Marines along the DMZ, you helped us as well.
The 1st Infantry Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized), US Army, was OPCON'ed to the 3rd Marine Division. The New Jersey was gone by the time I got there, but she was still being talked about. With great respect, I might add.
We did continue to recieve naval gunfire support even after New Jersey left.

Gulf of Tonkin to Cambodia as part of operation Sealord.
The Canberra was the senior command for naval forces during Seadragon in the spring of 67 and operated off the DMZ then, were you there?
