Return To Japan For Repairs
Tests and training occupied Albatross through 19 September at which time she got underway for another "Market Time" deployment. Albatross was assigned an area in the vicinity of the Phu Quoc Islands in the Gulf of Thailand. Her relief arrived on 7 November, and Albatross sailed to Kaohsiung for repairs to an inoperative air compressor system which hindered her maneuverability. The minesweeper reached Sasebo on 18 November for training and holiday leave. On 29 December 1966 she left Japan for another patrol in the South China Sea.

“The mother as a social servant instead of a home servant will not lack in true mother duty....

—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“I do not know that the United States can save civilization but at least by our example we can make people think and give them the opportunity of saving themselves. The trouble is that the people of Germany, Italy and Japan are not given the privilege of thinking.”
—Franklin D. Roosevelt (1882–1945)
