Trepassey Bay -- U.S. naval ships (LOC)

    US Navy ships in Trepassey Bay, Newfoundland there to support the Curtiss NC flying boats' transatlantic attempt. They are from front to back, (still in wartime dazzle camouflage) the tanker USS Hisko (ID-1953), USS Upshur (DD-144) (adjacent to Hisko), USS Aroostook (ID-1256), and USS Prairie (AD-5).

    Thanks TVL1970, we'll add this information to the catalog record.

Saratoga CV3

    A photo of a seemingly non-descript four-stack destroyer USS Buchanan (DD-131). However, USS Buchanan, as the HMS Campbeltown, would go on to be sacrificed as a ship bomb (for lack of a better term) in one of the most daring and important raids of World War II, the Saint-Nazaire Raid of March 1942.

    Great photo of the Navy-Curtiss NC-5, which has a virtually non-existent web presence as such. The famous NC-4 got all the attention, but -5 thru -8 were also built, not mentioned in the Bowers/Putnam Curtiss bible. SDASM, in their vast Flickr archive, also has these photos from their low-res days. Additional info (from respectful sources) would be appreciated, as with my limited time an resources I can't find much.

    The 4-stack destroyer in the background is probably DD 105 USS MUGFORD.
