USS Massey DD-778 (1948)

Per request, USS Massey DD-778 anchored at Naples, Italy, 5 July 1948. She was using a fire hose, aft, to keep over-enthusiastic bum boat peddlers away from the ship. This was done in keeping with directives from both the Navy and Italian authorities prohibiting bum boat transactions.
