Description
Original caption: Resembling smoke rings but much more deadlier are these muzzle flashes as the USS Manchester lets go with a salvo from its main and secondary batteries. The picture was taken from the Manchester's helicopter as it returned from a fire control mission over the target area of Kosang in Korea. The action took place on the last of a three day bombardment of enemy installations along the east coast of Korea.
