The Gearing class destroyer, DD-805, did cruise the pacific during the 1950's and early 1960's; but there are no sources indicating that she "worked the gunline" during the Vietnam War. I served on the Chevalier from early 1969 through late 1970. We cruised twice to westpac and worked many missions including naval gunfire support, plane guard, piraz, sar, and shoreline interdiction. Each cruise was 6-8 months. I have a year book from the 1968 cruise which illustrates similar action.

What was most highly decorated ship of the Vietnam War?
It might be easier to state which USN aircraft carriers did not serve in Vietnam. In which case the answer would probably be none. Nearly all US carriers conducted a WESPAC cruise to either Yankee or Dixie Station (North or South Vietnamese Coastline). Three of those carriers suffered terrible fires/explosions during the course of the war: USS Enterprise, USS Oriskany, and the USS Forrestall. No carrier was directly attacked by the enemy; only the USN destroyers USS Maddox, USS Higbee, and cruisers USS Boston & USS Oklahoma City suffered direct attacks by the North Viet Air Force or North Vietnamese Navy. And the USS Boston's story would take a whole different chapter to tell.
