Summary

[edit]
Description "Teamwork, Courage, and Skill": Men of the U.S. Navy Destroyer Division 91 crowd the foc'sle and superstructure of their ships in Sasebo, Japan, to receive their Navy Unit Commendations. During the presentation on the USS Mansfield, a crane crew in the background continues its task of installing new gun barrels on the USS De Haven. Streaks of red lead on the USS Collett and the USS Swenson in the foreground show the work that has occupied all the crews while in port. By coincidence the famed 'Sitting Duck' destroyers are berthed in their numerical order: USS De Haven (DD-727), USS Mansfield (DD-728), USS Lyman K. Swenson (DD-729), and USS Collett (DD-730) (back to front).
