The following photos were taken by me during my years on the Adams. They are scanned from 36 year old slides and their quality, in many cases, leaves a lot to be desired. The majority of them were taken during the 1972 STANAVFORLANT Cruise. This page is to be considered a temporary supplement to this website - because of the poor quality of the scans it will go away if this website ever becomes an official outlet for the DDG-2 Association.
