USS Cimarron (AO-22)


King Ibn Saud, of Saudi Arabia, boards the ship for a visit, probably near Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, circa 1947.
He is preceded by some of his bodyguards and followed by Mohamed Effendi (interpreter), Waldo Bailey (U.S. Consul at Dhahran), Colonel William McNown (Military Attache to the U.S. Embassy in Cairo, Egypt), Captain John C. Woelfel (U.S. Naval Technical Officer at the Cairo Embassy), and Captain Dewitt C.E. Hamberger (Naval Attache to the Cairo Embassy).
Some of Cimarron's officers are saluting in the foreground.
