The USCGC Taney weathering heavy seas just three miles outside San Francisco Harbor in February, 1960, on its way to aid the disabled SS Angelo Petri. Copy from Web.

Attached is the another photo of the Taney during the rescue of the SS Angelo Petri in Feb.
1960.   This photo and the one that you have on the web page,( 5 BELLS, page 3) were both taken
by the Navy during the rescue. I was on the helm during this time. I believe it is about 100"
from the water line to the yard arm on the mast. This picture shows a good relationship to the
size of the swells.   I obtained a copy of both

(There is a movie out now called "The Perfect Storm" I Think the USCGC TANEY has one up on them)

Note on credits for photos and articles. I have attempted to include credits when possible, sometimes credits are delayed, due to lack o knowledge as to where I got the article and difficulties of adding text with pictures. s/vern toler.

USS TANEY (CG) 1944 I think this is an official photo since the radar is blocked out, the photo on page 4 is similar but with the flag on the stern would indicate at anchor.
