I have no idea what a "Red Head" is, but this picture has several interesting
features:
Not many people talked about the redheads.

A Fletcher Class destroyer
A Lightship
A Famous Frigate in unusual circumstances
A Sailing Club named after a famous 12-meter (the 12-meter is not present in
this pic)
Two marinas with 5 slips I've occupied (I'm currently about a mile North)
Nice, Some day I will get to Boston, Its got some great ships and
history, has to be one of the top seafaring towns in America. Great
place for a tea party! Bet you can find all kinds of nautical antiques
in the local area.
Go visit that Fletcher and ask anyone that served aboard about the
Red Head.
If you walk thru the whole ship you will see the redhead, If its still
true to WWII standards.
No one wanted to be restricted to the red heads!
I will wait till Ol Thom tries to answer this one before I give the
answer to the quiz. He's a old salt from the old navy and probaly
knows about the red heads. He is most likely smart enough to avoid
that type of redhead.

Why was Seaman Broady required to use the Red Head during WWII?
Broady was stationed on a fletcher class tin can?
But most early WWII and WWI ships had red heads to.
The Battleship Texas has 2.
Good for 5 asa points
