USS Endicott (DD-495) sinking the German corvette Nimet Allah during the Southern France Operation, 17 August 1944. A large splash or explosion can be faintly seen in the left center. Helmets on watching men indicate that this photograph may have been taken from a British ship, perhaps HMS Aphis or HMS Scarab.

Lieutenant Commander Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., USNR, Commander of the Special Operations Group's Eastern Diversionary Unit, Captain Henry C. Johnson, Commander Special Operations Group (CTG 80.4) and Lieutenant Commander John D. Bulkeley, USN, Commanding Officer of USS Endicott (DD-495) (listed from left to right), on USS Endicott's bridge during the Southern France Operation, August 1944. This may have been taken after the 17 August engagement that sank the German corvettes Nimet Allah and Capriola.


Thai frigate Prasae stranded behind enemy lines on the Korean east coast, January 1951. She had gone ashore in a snowstorm on 7 January and had to be destroyed after unsuccessful efforts to pull her off. A helicopter and several U.S. Navy ships, including USS Endicott (DMS-35), are offshore covering salvage operations. Prasae was formerly the British corvette Betony and the Indiana Navy's Sind.


USS Endicott (DMS-35) is welcomed to Pearl Harbor by Hawaiian Hula dancers, 18 March 1951, as she returns from eight months of Korean War operations.


Boatswain's Mate First Class Orville Cox (left) and Chief Boilerman William T. Ashford hold the "Eight" flag by the forward 5"/38 gun mount of USS Endicott (DMS-35), as she was returning to San Diego from an eight-month deployment in the Korean War Zone, circa March 1951. Both men have served on on board Endicott since she was commissioned in 1943, eight years previously, and by Navy tradition "own" a plank from the ship's deck. In Endicott's case, however, there are no "planks", as her decks are entirely made of steel.
