Photo #: NH 97989 USS Valcour (AVP-55) Shown before departing her base at Little Creek, Virginia, for her fourteenth Middle East deployment in mid-1963. She now has a tripod foremast with a more modern air search radar, new ECM antennas around the stack, and a large communications antenna and a new deckhouse in place of her after 40mm gun mount, all probably fitted in an overhaul in around 1960. She retains an aviation insignia adjacent to her hull number. Naval Historical Center Photograph. Online Image: 63KB; 740 x 580 pixels |

She no longer displays an aviation insignia adjacent to her hull number, probably because of her administrative transfer from an aviation to a cruiser-destroyer type commander in January 1964.
