Ya know, if I were a sailor on that boat if be proud as fuck and showing off that image. Assuming I wasn't traumatized...
And assuming you made it out alive.She was torpedoed and sunk by the German U-boat U-410 near Naples with great loss of life on 18 February 1944.A couple of years after this picture was taken.The nazi submarine responsible was sunk by an US aircraft less than a month later.
