Description:
"1340 - 42 photos - 1340. Lacking the glamour and romance of their big sisters, sturdy little minesweepers perform an invaluable war service with a quiet thoroughness by destroying enemy-planted mines and keeping the sea lanes open for war ship and convoys. 25. From mess of smoke erupted by K gun, depth charge, its arbor plainly showing, sails through the air. - Official U.S. Navy Photograph." Circa 1943
