Your Ship was on the January 2012 AO VA ships list but only
in this criteria

"Okinawa (LPH-3)
Docked to pier at Cam Ranh Bay to offload
aircraft during May 1971"

The sHips list has grown due to Blue Water veterans writing to VA
as to why their ship should be on this list.

" I file a claim ref. to the USS Okinawa, which I was
on...however, the
VA claims that they can only find me on this
ship in December, when the
ship was no where near
Vietman..DENIAL..."

Do you have your complete SMRs as well as your 201 personnel file
?

Try all the ship's sites and see if you
can get some buddy statements.
