in 1955 refueling with USS Nantahala AO-60
Two
photos pulled from the 1962 movie "The Longest Day" where the Fox was
used to help show shore bombardment of Normandy in WWII. Filming of the
Fox was done in the Med in 1960.
Fox

Shenandoah AD-26, unknown DD, Kenneth D. Bailey DD-713 & James C Owens
DD-776, 2. Copy of c.1964 official photo from Ken Zielinski.
Looks like a Full Power Run, 1953 or so. Great photo of the Fox at
sea. From Mort Hartman GM3 Collection, which can be seen by clicking
here.
Mort Hartman GM3 1950 - 1954 lent me a 20" X 16" photo of the Fox in the Med
that I scanned and gave it some Photoshop magic work to put on the web. Great
photo of the Fox in her prime as a DDR.
With a
little help from Photoshop, this rendering is the Fox from its pre-FRAM days.
A pretty nice photo of the Fox from Mort Hartman's collection. From early
50's. Original digital copy is excellent, and duplicates nicely for
shipmates for a nominal fee.
I couldn't leave well enough alone with the photo above; practicing with my
Photoshop manipulation skills and took the Fox and joined her with a genuine S.
Florida Sunset as a backdrop. I like the results. What do YOU
think? This copy is also available in hi-res edition.
Fox with USS George E. Davis DE-357 and USS Cecil J. Doyle DE-368, circa late
'50's
What's wrong with this picture? Fox c. 1950, as has both
sets of depth charge racks. Notice how well the uniform of the day is
maintained.....wool caps, ball caps, white hats, foul weather hat, and no
hat. You older guys sure were more 'squared away'........we don't even
want to mention how messed up the hull looks.....
