Summary[edit]

Description
English: The U.S. Navy destroyer USS Colhoun (DD-801) underway at sea, circa in February 1945. Colhoun is painted in Camouflage Measure 12. The photo was taken from USS Putnam (DD-757) by her ship's photographer, George Hansen. The exact date of this photo is not known, but from Putnam’s War Diary, it was probably taken after the destroyers departed Pearl Harbor with TG 51.11 bound for Eniwetok on 27 January 1945 and before Putnam left TG 51.11 on 8 February 1945. The destroyers escorting TG 51.11, USS Hyman (DD-732), USS Mannert L. Abele (DD-733), USS Colhoun (DD-801) and USS Putnam (DD-757), on this voyage conducted tactical exercises along the way 1-4 February 1945.
