Yeas, but the results are not very helpful. The pictures were taken from too far away.

I have several picture of APG-9 The Willoughby that my father shot of her during the battle for the Phillipines and at several bases in the So Pacific. He served on her for her full life in the war until her decomissioning and use as a high endurance cutter by the coast guard and serving in Vietnam under the name USS Gresham.

Gopher,
Here are a few of the USS Orestes AGP10. It was tending RON25 boats in the Phillipines. These photos came from the collection of Bob Hostetter.
