Crewmen on weather deck area of USS Mansfield (DD-728) in Vietnam. He and others wear flak jackets and helmets. Below him in background, the Mansfield fires a salvo to port, from a pair of her forward 5-inch guns. View downward to port side of lower deck, where empty shell casings are seen near the railing. The ship raises a sharp bow wave as she makes way at high speed. The USS Hanson (DD-832) a Gearing class Destroyeris seen at some distance. It maneuvers about and comes closer to the Mansfield (from which the photos are being taken). Wind is picking up and white caps appear on the water. Ensign G J Groves, is seen at the Mk 37 Director position above the bridge of the Mansfield. Views of him communicating from that position. A sailor mans an M2 50 cal machine gun set up at a railing of the Mansfield. He sights the weapon but does not fire. An officer appears wearing a black cap with gold "scrambled eggs" on the bill and "Comdes Div, 152" inscribed on the front (Commander Destroyer Division 152). He issues some instructions to crew members. (Note: Records indicate that the Captain of the USS Mansfield was Commander Donald P. Nellis during this period.)
