75k | USS Barker DD-213 on July 21, 1942 in Nukualofa Harbor, Tongatabu by a photographer onboard the USS Wasp CV-7. According to the USS Barker's deck log she arrived in Nukualofa Harbor at 0806 hrs, July 21st and moored alongside the USS Kanawha to refuel. At 1124 hrs she got underway and left the harbor, on her way to Pearl Harbor. The date, August 4, 1942, is on the other photos in the series also and is obviously wrong as the USS President Jackson was well on her way toward Guadalcanal with TF-62 on that date. | Paul Rebold/Bob Wiemer | |
