Seen docked at Mare Island Navy Yard in April, 1944. Seen are her eight depth charge throwers along with her stern mounted depth charge racks. Forward, a medium frequency direction finder loop can be seen stepped aft on the mast. She has no HF/DF mast or equipment mounted, as is standard with most of the Pacific Fleet assigned destroyer escorts.
