After leaving San Diego for WestPac on 3 July 1961 we stopped in Pearl during which we underwent refresher training in the escape tower in the background. I believe the red flag and hose indicated we are taking on fuel. I hope someone recognizes the individual standing next to the after engineroom hatch. |
Commanding Officer H. E. Phelps (in white t-shirt) and unidentified officer on the bridge sometime after leaving Pearl and heading west to Japan. The name of the sailor facing the skipper appears to be "Hanstag". |
