This is the second of three sets of photographs of the USS Calvert, taken by the U.S. Navy during World War II. I was informed of the existence of these photographs by Dennis Worthington, son of the late Hoyt Worthington who served aboard the Calvert during WWII.

The original photographs are available at the Maritime Administration’s (MARAD) website, here (click on the “images” tab)

This second set shows the Calvert in August 1943 at Norfolk, VA, following upgrades which took place at the Todd Shipyard, New York in preparation for her part in the Invasion of Sicily in July of 1943.
