Operation Handclasp

DANFS contains numerous references to this operation. For example, see USS Alvin C. Cockrell (DE-366).

Operation Handclasp is not to be confused with Project Handclasp an official U.S. Navy program that distributes materials donated in the U.S. to less economically well-off residents of foreign countries on behalf of American citizens.^[1]
