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 in suit holding hands. Standing to the right of him and behind the officer at the microphone is James C. Dunn, United States Ambassador to Italy (1946-1952). Behind Mr. Pacciardi in a white hat is believed to be Admiral Robert B. Carney, commander-in-chief of the NATO forces in Southern Europe (1951-1953). Other unidentified officials/dignitaries are in view.
