Hal & Ted,

Attached are a number of photographs of the U.S.S. Henley (DD-762).

These photographs were obtained from the U.S. Naval Photographic Center
the National Archives, or the US Naval Institute.  Each of these
photographs was taken by a US Navy photographer, where available I have
given appropriate credit. Below is the information about each of these
photo's that I have available to me.

My interest in the Henley stems from my father, Ernest Brooks. My father
was stationed on the Henley from June 1957 to September 1958 as a
Firecontrolman working on the MK37 GFCS.  He was injured in a line
handling accident in Naples, Italy in September 1958, an accident that
would eventually end his naval career two years later after
rehabilitation.

I realize that my father was not a Korean war veteran, nor are these
photographs from that time period, however I thought some quality
photo's of the ship might be a welcome addition to your web sight.
