 McMorris gets her forward gun mount lifted off by dockside crane (Bravo piers, Pearl Harbor, HI). By his posture, the officer standing just left of center in front of MT31, is the CO, LCDR Hark (now deceased). The enlisted man at far right looks like GMG1 Maddon (now deceased). A sister ship of McMorris is moored outboard. You can clearly see the Squadron insignia of Escort Squadron One. "Huakai Alii." |
 The forward gun mount is resting on Bravo piers. To the right, the lights of Ward Field. To the left, Merry's Point Landing. |
 The "Mac" tied to Bravo piers. Lines are "doubled up" and "frapped." Note "rat guards" down towards the bollards. Note also, the absence of the forward gun mount at this point. |
