USS Dorothea L. Dix
(AP-67)

Underway on 10 July 1943, the first day of the invasion of Sicily. A paravane is visible near the waterline about a third back from the bow.
Photographed from USS Ancon (AGC-4).
Note: the date 10 July 1943 is from the original caption. Since a full set of landing craft is embarked, it is possible that the photograph was taken earlier.

Official U.S. Navy Photograph, now in the collections of the National Archives.
