USS Blue (DD-387)
"Men wounded in the Battle of Tulagi Island being removed
from the USS Blue (DD-387) to the USS Neville (AP-16),
7-8-9 August 1942." (quoted from the original caption).
This photograph was probably taken on 9 August, as Blue
was transferring survivors of the Battle of Savo Island, which
had taken place during the previous night.
Official U.S. Navy Photograph, from the collections of the
