Saga of a Tanker
Torpedoed by an Axis submarine, this U.S. tanker became a raging inferno–but crew members fighting heroically quelled the flames and the tanker was towed to port by a U.S. Naval ship. Because her men refused to surrender to fire and sea, the tanker soon will be back in active service aiding the Nation against its enemies. This spectacular picture is an official U.S. Navy photograph.
