	32k	Henry A. Courtney (6 January 1916 - 15 May 1945) was born and raised in Duluth, Minnesota. He was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Marine Corps Reserve in February 1940. As a company commander on Guadalcanal in 1942, he shared in the Presidential Unit Citation awarded the First Marine Division. While serving as executive officer of a battalion of the Sixth Marine Division on Okinawa, he was killed in action after exhibiting great courage and self-sacrifice leading a successful night attack against enemy positions on Sugar Loaf Hill 15 May 1945. He was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor, and a second Presidential Unit Citation that was earned by the Sixth Marine Division. USS Courtney, DE-1021, was the first ship named in his honor.       (Photo from the web site, Home of Heroes)		Navsource

	224k	19 August 1970: Narragansett Bay, Rhode Island - An aerial starboard view of the escort ship USS Courtney (DE-1021) underway. (Official US Navy Photograph by PHCS Walter H. Long) (Note: I served in Courtney from 1970-1972, when she was homeported in Naples. The previous image shows Courtney as-built, with Weapon Alfa and the rear 3-inch mount still installed. When I was aboard she was in her final (modified) configuration, with only the forward 3-inch mount. The Commodore's cabin was added - modified as squadron flagship during overhaul. The rear mount was removed, replaced by the ITASS shack and spool. This overhaul prepared the squadron for deployment to homeport Naples, Italy.)		John Clingman ETR2, USN, 1969-1973
