"Teamwork, Courage, and Skill"
"Men of Destroyer Division 91 crowd the foc'sle and superstructure
of their ships in Sasebo, Japan, to receive their Navy Unit Commendations.
During the presentation on the Mansfield, a crane crew
in the background continues its task of installing new gun barrels
on the De Haven. Streaks of red lead on the Collett
and the Swenson in the foreground show the work that has
occupied all the crews while in port. By coincidence the famed
'Sitting Duck' destroyers are berthed in their numerical order:
USS De Haven (DD-727), Mansfield (DD-728), Lyman
K. Swenson (DD-729), and Collett (DD-730)."
