Photo USS GRAY FF 1054

Heres a great photo that I found on the desausa.org web site and obtained permission from Pat Stephens the Webmaster to use here on the Gray Blog. I believe according to a Google Image search, Chief Hayes, a USS Gray crew member submitted it to DESA. Does anyone know the particulars of this picture? Like when, where, and who took the photo. Please comment.

Having a Bad Day ?

Thought I might share this with the crew. I found it on shipspotting.com an interesting website. The photo was submitted by Ilhan Kermen an Merchant Engineer Officer who resides in Turkey. The vessel dragged her anchors during a storm 2/23/99.
