U.S.S. Severn AO-61

The Call to Final Muster

International Radio Call Sign:
November - Uniform - Zulu - Delta NUZD

My father, PHoM 2/C Paul D. Guttman, took this photograph in the Pacific

during World War II. Judging by the camouflage, I would guess this picture

would probably have been taken sometime during 1944. I believe that

the carrier is USS Hancock (CV-19) and that the oiler is USS Severn (AO-61).

Sincerely,

Robert Guttman
