Moonrise in Malta. A time exposure, with the camera sitting on a flag locker.
The lights of Valetta, Malta
Another time-exposure, as the ship swings at anchor.
Valetta, Malta. USS Yancy AKA-93 in the foreground, with the TC in rear center.
Unknown location at sunset.
Back in Little Creek, raising the causeways into place.
Raising a causeway onto a ridge on the side of the hull, where it will be secured.
At the left, the causeways in service, as a portable pier.
Steaming in the Aegean Sea, incredibly calm! Of course the TC was taking 5 degree rolls when this was taken!
Same day, but looking forward.
Watching TV in the mess decks. It was here that we watched the first moon landing in July, 1969
The best I could come up with for a mustache at 20!
Hatch leading to "lower aft OPS" berthing compartment, where 9 guys lived.
My "rack", on the top left. Racks were 3 high. You can see 3 more just to the left of picture, 9 total.
Standing between the racks looking back at our lockers.
The 9 racks, lockers, and one chair. Nice & roomy!
My locker. Almost all our stuff had to fit in this one tiny locker.
Just like home, huh? The sinks always looked this way, even a few hours after we cleaned them
(every AM).
Ah, privacy. Four toilets, facing each other. Privacy did not exist on the TC.
A Maltese "bum boat"? which would take you ashore for a few bucks (I think).
Aegean Sea fishing boats returning to port in the early morning. The smaller boats had 2 huge spotlights for night fishing.
