Two unidentified corps men carry a stretcher with a dead North Korean aboard the USS Manchester. A group of unidentified naval corpsmen work in the "whale boat" where other dead North Koreans' bodies await transport. The North Koreans unsuccessfully attempted to mine the USS Manchester in Wonson Harbor off the coast of Korea. The photograph was in an album entitled "The story of the North Korean small boat flotilla who attempted to mine us in on [sic] a dark foggy night R. Adm. Lewis S. Parks. USS Manchester."
