USS KRETCHMER DER 329

USS Kretchmer DER 329 with USS Camp DER 251 and USS Hissem DER 400

USS KRETCHMER DE/DER 329

That picture is an Official US Navy photograph taken in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on 28 July 1965.
USS Kretchmer had just arrived in Pearl Harbor from Costa Rica. USS Hissem DE/DER 400 and USS Camp DE/DER 251went on to Hawaii as Kretchmer off-loaded a seaman in Costa Rica who had an emergency - he had an appendix attack just outside of the Panama Canal in the Pacific Ocean.

I have to give an 4.0 to a Bud Noyes of the 329 in 59-60 for the answer to question of where the picture was taken.
