USS Valcour (AVP-55)
Shown before departing her base at Little Creek, Virginia, for
her fourteenth Middle East deployment in mid-1963.
She now has a tripod foremast with a more modern air search radar,
new ECM antennas around the stack, and a large communications
antenna and a new deckhouse in place of her after 40mm gun mount,
all probably fitted in an overhaul in around 1960. She retains
an aviation insignia adjacent to her hull number.
