Description

Members of the ATHERTON crew are seen lounging forward of the smoke stack on the 01 level just outside the radio room. Some are seated in chairs while others are atop the spud locker. Some reading material is visible. The ATHERTON appears to be nested starboard side to an unknown destroyer escort. This is possibly taken in the Pacific based on the clothing choices.
