Recently added are several photographs from the collection of SC 129 crewman Frederick Leck, who served as a machinist's mate.
This chaser is notable for having displayed a star on the mast signifying a submarine kill.
Under the command of Ens. Maclear Jacoby, the crew of SC 129 dropped depth charges on a suspected submarine on 2 October, 1918 during the bombardment of Durazzo harbor. While never given official credit for a submarine kill, the crewmen claimed having sunk one.
