Description
View of mostly naval officers during 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. Standing fourth from the left in a white military hat is U.S. Admiral Robert B. Carney, commander-in-chief of the NATO forces in Southern Europe (1951-1953).
