Description
View of a formal military exchange ceremony in which time the United States Navy turned over two destroyers and six gunboats to the Italian Navy. The location of the event is the Italian port of Brindisi, just 70 miles from Soviet dominated Albania. Randolfo Pacciardi, Italian Secretary of Defense, is standing at the microphone and reading prepared remarks. Standing to the right of him is James C. Dunn, United States Ambassador to Italy (1946-1952). Many other unidentified officials/dignitaries are in view as well as interested by-standers.
