Description

Captain Lewis Parks (center) is on the bridge of the USS Manchester with two unidentified sailors. One of the men may be Captain R. Yoakley who was rescued after he parachuted from his damaged airplane just before it disintegrated. Captain Yoakley was rescued just as he hit the water and spent the next six days aboard the USS Manchester as it shelled Korean installations. The photograph is part of an album entitled "Pictures by R. Admiral Lewis Parks. USS Manchester."
