This Russian-made Vietnam War era RPG was presented to the USS Richard E. Kraus, a US Destroyer, by South Vietnamese Brigadier General Tran Van Nhut in 1966.

The ship was commissioned in 1946 and saw service during the Cuban Missile Blockade, was part of the recovery of spaceship Gemini 6, and won two battle stars for heroic service during the Vietnam War.

In 1976 it was decommissioned and given to the South Korean navy where it was renamed the ROKS Kwang Ju and served until decommissioned in 2000.
