Ron Marlett standing watch onboard the USCGC Winnebago.

1970

 After the USCGC Winnebago was relieved from Ocean Station Victor halfway between Midway Atoll and Japan, she headed for Yokosaku, Japan for a scheduled overhaul in drydock. Ship's work and standing watch were two jobs the crew continued doing while the Winnebago was in drydock. In this picture, Ron Marlett was standing messenger of the watch on the quarterdeck. A coastguardsman who was studying photography placed a blanket behind Ron so that the photograph would have a studio look to Ron's portrait.
