hatchet Posted July 15, 2019 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2019 I'm digitizing my dad's slides from the Korean War era, when he served in the US Navy. I'm hoping somebody knowledgeble about military history can identify the location of this photo. It's of the crew of the USS Renshaw, DDE-499 (and numerous cases of Budweiser) relaxing at a beach. My dad's label for the group of photos it's in is simply "Summer 1951 at sea on USS Renshaw in Far East - Korea". My best guess is that the overturned hulks are tracked landing vehicles, which makes me wonder if this was taken on Okinawa. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron3-6 Posted July 15, 2019 Share #3 Posted July 15, 2019 Looks like they used the LVT Hulks as "gravel" to stabilize the shoreline....wow, what a waste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
