Coghlan alongside Markab(AD21) Dutch Harbor 3 March, 1943. Note close
examination shows port side midship rail missing for 1/3 of ships length and
whaleboats alongside Coghlan.
3 March, 1943, left to right unidentified DD(Dale or Monaghan, guess by stack
arrangement), Coghlan (DD606), Markab(AD21), Salt Lake City(CA25). Coghlans #
606 can just be seen above the whale boat at left. Just above and to the
right of the Markab's hull number D21, a sailor can be seen on deck; in a T-shirt! Ice can
be seen forming on all of the ships here.
"Dated 22 Feb, 1943. Coghlan was with Indy and the Gillespie off
Kiska and had 20/40mm gunnery practice at 1411hrs. Under those bursts 2 ships can be
made out. Im guessing its the DD's. Kiska is in the background, shot from the
Indy".
12 Nov,1942. This shot from the Indy shows dutch harbor. The large ship is the
oiler Kaskaskia(A027). Ships present that day from the log are Indy, Coghlan,
Nashville, Bailey, Bancroft.
12 nov 1942 Dutch Harbor, Kaskaskia(AO27) and unnamed destroyer coming
alongside to refuel.
This is the Indy taking on fuel from the Kaskaskia in the Aleutions. Note
crew on deck on Kaskaskia.
This is a Gridley class DD
coming up on the Indy for refueling. Only 4 of that class served up there;
Gridley(DD380), Craven(DD382), McCall(DD400), and Maury(DD401) and this is one
of them.
This is
either the Bancroft or the Bailey taken from the Indianapolis. They still had
the 1.1" and one 20mm on the aft deckhouse. Coghlan had 2 twin 40mms's there and was the first new destroyer to be built with them at the yard and not as
a refit later.
