Summary
| Description |
English: This is a picture of the original crew of the Shelter at commissioning July 9, 1944.
Handwritten by LT JG SF Melcher Jr. on reverse: "A non-military looking gang. They have first fallen in on the fantail and have not yet been called to attention. The officers are putting on their gloves. I assume a very reverent pose seeing as how it's Sunday. In the background is one of our sister ships in a very incomplete state. It wasn't long ago that ours looked like that. When she gets all her gear aboard she will sit much lower in the water and look a lot trimmer.
