Hull Number: SC 129

Photo: SC 129, next to USS Leonidas.

Ensign Maclear Jacoby was commander of SC 129 in the Otranto Barrage. This chaser is also shown in the photo on page 111 of William Washburn Nutting's book, Cinderellas of the Fleet, with a star on the mast representing the sinking of a submarine.

Note the chaser in front of SC 129, with three racks of depth charges on its stern, indicating that this is a war time photo, most likely taken at American Bay, the subchaser base at Corfu, Greece.
