Subject
USS Witter (DE 636); World War, 1939-1945; United States. Navy
Description
A collaged photo featuring different images of the USS Witter. The top has a text overlay in a blue stencil-style font, reading "USS Witter DE-636; George Hermann, III; LTCMDR, U.S.N.R.; Commanding". The background image is a large-frame shot of the USS Witter at sea. Clockwise from top left, the other images are: a man in a Captain's hat, standing aboard a vessel of which only a small portion is visible; a group of sailors at the front of a large ship, with a lowered flag and other ships in the background; a group photo of several men in uniform on board a large ship; and the side of the USS Witter with damage visible from the plane strike. The entire collage was printed as a single item, so there are no attached pieces. With the exception of the text overlay, the entire image is black and white.
