1954 Photos

Looking aft from the bridge. Notice the BLR antennas on either side of the stack and the outlook point at the top at the stack. Wouldn't want to be standing there when those steam whistles went off...  The unidentified DE in the background is probably the USS Jack W. Wilke (DE-800), the last Buckley-class commissioned.

1954 was the first year the Robinson won the prestigious "E" for Excellence award. Here the crew proudly paints the E on the bridge.
