USS Scorpion (SSN-589)
Ties up alongside USS Tallahatchie County (AVB-2) outside
Claywall Harbor, Naples, Italy, 10 April 1968.
This view shows the submarine's line handling crew aft of her
sail, just as she has been made fast and the National Ensign
transferred to its "in port" position. Scorpion
was lost with all hands in May 1968, while returning to the U.S.
from this Mediterranean deployment.
