U.S. Navy Escort Destroyer Underway, Vietnam War Era, USS Ticonderoga Collection
A U.S. Navy destroyer races alongside the carrier task force during Vietnam War-era operations, photographed from the deck of USS Ticonderoga. Escort ships like this one screened aircraft carriers against submarine and air threats while carrier air wings flew strike and reconnaissance missions over Southeast Asia in the 1960s and early 1970s.
