USS Askari (ARL-30)

Operating in South Vietnam on 27 September 1967 as part of River Assault Flotilla ONE.
She has used her "A" frame hoist to lift a 56-foot Armored Troop Carrier (ATC) onto a pontoon for maintenance. Other riverine craft, including a monitor, await their turn. The full load displacement of an ATC was 69.2 tons and its hoisting weight was 55.8 tons, suggesting that Askari and its sisters had the improved 60-ton capacity "A" frame hoist.
