Great Pictures Frank.

Was wondering if on picture 80 if the original photo is clearer and you can make out the hull number of the destroyer in teh background?

In one of the other pictures #63 of the Niagara, there's a small portion of the bow of DD-158 - USS LEARY. I have had some connection with the LEARY and her sister ship USS SCHENCK, DD-159, and was wondering if that destoryer in #80 was one of them.

Thanks.

Charlie

Picture #80 is about as clear a shot I am going to get as the original is very close to the image you are seeing here. I will double check with my glass and see. Glad you enjoy the shots.

I just checked my other photo's not yet posted and it is the #158 on her Bow. I will send the 2 pictures of her to Dick and ask him to zoom in on her.
