You can almost make out Rick Palmer at quarters on the torpedo deck. It was sent to Rick by Chris Hodge in England who is retired CPO electrician Royal Navy and lives near Portsmouth England where there is a photo studio that has a huge archive of warship photos. The photographer recently bought out the negatives from one in Malta where this came from. He is sending Rick a perfect copy from the original negative. There might be a few for the next reunion if you all would like. USS Corry DD-817 Med Cruise 1952 Firing the 40mm's USS Corry Med Cruise 1952 Photo Courtesy William P.
