USS Accomac (APB-49) In reserve during the 1950s. This photo was copied from the brochure that offered the ship for sale for scrap, and the text on the other side of the page has bled through into the photo. It is possible, however, to make out two quonset huts on deck, one long and one short, and six Welin davits. The 40mm quadruple mounts at bow and stern are cocooned, and the ship may be under tow, backwards. Photo No. None Source: U.S. Naval History and Heritage Command (SH) |
