The ships include the group flagship, the aircraft carrier USS Valley Forge (CVS-45) in center, two submarines, and seven destroyers. Identifiable among the latter are USS Eaton (DDE-510) at left front, USS Beale (DDE-471) following Eaton, USS Waller (DDE-466) in the center foreground, and USS Conway (DDE-507) at right front. Aircraft overhead include two four-plane formations of Grumman S2F-1/-2 Trackers and three Sikorsky HSS-1 Seabat helicopters from the Valley Forge air group, plus one shore-based Lockheed P2V Neptune.

The U.S. Navy radar picket destroyer USS Frank Knox (DDR-742) aground on Pratas Reef, South China Sea, with several ships attempting to pull her off. She went aground on 18 July 1965. This view was probably taken at about the time she was finally refloated on 24 August 1965. Ships pulling are (from left to right): USS Grapple (ARS-7), USS Conserver (ARS-39), USS Sioux (ATF-75), USS Greenlet (ASR-10) and USS Cocopa (ATF-101).
