Description
This is an image of the USS Ericsson, a Benson-Gleaves class destroyer that served in the Atlantic and Mediterranean during World War 2. My father was a crew-member on the ship from 1942-1945 as a Gun Captain in charge of one of the turrets. The scene is just after the end of the war, when hostilities were over and the ship is headed back to the US, ending its distinguished military service. The Ericsson was put in storage until 1972, when it was finally scrapped.
