While stopped in the Azores, Ens. George S. Dole picked out and mailed a number of postcards. On this one he wrote, "Does this remind you of Maine?" Dole grew up in Bath, Maine, and hiked and fished with his twin brother Louis and his father George Henry Dole.

One has to assume the others on SC 93 were thinking of home as well, as they prepared for the final leg of their trip, crossing the Mediterranean Sea to the new U.S. subchaser base on Corfu.

U.S.S. Leonidas (stamped on the card) was the mothership for the chasers at Base 25.
