Title: USS Massey (DD-778)
Description: USS Massey (DD-778) Anchored at Naples, Italy, 5 July 1948. She is using a fire hose, aft, to keep over-enthusiastic bum boat peddlers away from the ship. This was done in keeping with current directives from both Navy and Italian authorities prohibiting bum boat transactions. Photographed from USS Kearsarge (CV-33).
