USS Rich (DD-820)

Anchored outside the harbor of Mogadiscio, Somalia, during a 13-15 February 1966 port call. Two merchantmen, including one Soviet (at right), are at anchor beyond Rich.
At this time ships of this size could not enter the harbor. Cargo (mostly livestock) and personnel were carried to the ships by barge.
