''Vernon County'' subsequently returned to South Vietnamese waters, lifting cargo to Vũng Tàu and offloading it while at anchor on 14 August 1968. On 15 August 1968, she proceeded to [[Nha Be]], where she relieved {{USS|Windham County|LST-1170|6}} as support LST for Mobile Riverine Assault Force Bravo. For the next two months, she operated primarily in the Nha Be region but also at the junction of the [[Soirap River]] and [[Vam Co River]]. Midway through that period, the base was shifted to Dong Tam, where ''Vernon County'' remained until relieved by {{USS|Caroline County|LST-525|6}} on 16 October 1968.
Sailing to Kaohsiung, Taiwan, with a cargo of [[jeep]]s, and encountering [[Typhoon Hester (1971)]] en route, ''Vernon County'' visited Hong Kong for rest and recreation before returning to Yokosuka in late October 1968. She remained at Yokosuka for the rest of the year.
