These two photos were taken by Steve Haidle from the HMAS Hobart (D39) |
 |
|
| On 10 May 1967 as Sumner is alongside the USS Diamond Head
(AE-19) for munitions replenishment. Ahead of this group is the next
stop, the USS Guadalupe (AO-32), where we will refuel. Out of the
picture and ahead of the Guadalupe is the USS Mars (AFS-1) who will
provide us with stores and food. These are the ships that kept us on
station and ready for action during our time on Operation Sea Dragon. |
