I found this pic on the 'net. Large ship in the foreground (D-30) is a
Navy "oiler" from which other ships refuel at sea.

The little ship behind it with it's bow sticking up in the air
is the USS Van Voorhis (DE-1028), taking on fuel. The Van Voorhis the
first ship I was assigned to in the Navy and spent a little over a year
on board.

Yup. Just another day at the office Harry.

Looks like the Van Voorhis was only in commission for about 15 years.
Is that typical for a destroyer escort?
