2 photos of Assistant Sec. of Navy F.D. Roosevelt visited base at Lorient; CAPT. Thomas P. Magruder commanding Squadron 4 Patrol Force At FDRC. The Squadron was made up of Menhaden Vessels converterd by the Navy to Patrol Vessels and Minesweepers.
NOTE: Photograph is now correctly oriented (as of 30 Jan 2018). Previously, the photgraph was "backwards", as is evidenced by the "ribbons" on the uniform jackets being on the wrong side, The WWI display in the Museum used the "backwards" photo and so is incorrect. Military Veterans will note that.
