Summary
edit| Description |
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer escort USS Fechteler (DE-157), center, lies nested with two sister ships, New York Naval Shipyard (USA), on 31 March 1944. Looking aft from the foc’sle one sees the forward 3-inch/50 caliber dual-purpose guns (Mt. 31 and Mt. 32), with the Mk. 10 depth projector sited out of sight on the main deck aft of Mt. 31. Note the guard rails to prevent gunners from firing into the ship forward of both main battery mounts, and the floater net baskets. Twenty-millimeter Oerlikon machine guns are visible on the same level as Mt. 32 and the next deck above. Fechteler had just completed a convoy escort deployment from Londonberry, North Ireland. After initially arriving in Londonberry on 6 March 1944, she joined the escort of a New York-bound convoy, reaching the United States 22 March 1944. |
