This photo shows three Hugh Purvis, DD 709, crewmembers during refueling in the eastern atlantic. (Feb 1962)

Made with a personal rolleifles camera.

I was a guest passenger on the USS Hugh Purvis for six weeks in early 1962. No duties except to stay out of the way during refueling, or Quarters. Most of the time I went up to a place above the bridge with a good view, and at night looked for a poker game.
