Hlyd，应为North Hollywood）。 长滩理工高中（Long Beach Poly High）的花球啦啦队女孩们正为鲁珀特斯号驱逐舰的船员们表演助兴——该舰在远东完成第三次部署任务后，经火奴鲁鲁（Honolulu）从朝鲜返航，与另外两艘驱逐舰一同停靠于长滩港A码头1-2泊位。 1号图片：三等电工军士萨姆·博茨（EM/3 Sam Boarts）从舷梯将圣诞包裹递给妻子肖娜，同时肩扛另一盒礼品。他刚从作为第32驱逐舰分队旗舰的鲁珀特斯号上离舰。 2号图片：亚瑟·巴罗夫人抱着3个月大的女儿黛安，女儿似乎对正在等候的父亲毫无兴致——这是黛安首次见到父亲。其父亲为首席轮机军士亚瑟·巴罗，家庭住址为莱克伍德公园赫肖尔特大道4809号。 3-4号图片：首席轮机军士亚瑟·巴罗迫不及待地从舷梯接过自己此前从未谋面的女儿黛安，舰员们纷纷围聚围观。左侧为枪炮军士比尔·米勒（Bill Miller）与吉米·希克斯（Jimmy Hicks）。 5号图片：另有两名水兵同样迫不及待地跳上码头（所幸长滩港码头沉降幅度不大，跳跃高度有限），迎接此前从未见过面的妻子与孩子。从左至右依次为：水兵唐纳德·斯坦梅茨夫妇与他们5个月大的儿子吉米，家庭住址为长滩市莱姆街1778号；水兵唐纳德·萨默斯夫妇与他们4个月大的儿子拉里，萨默斯一家居住于长滩市米拉马拉街2362号。萨默斯同时也是塔克号商船（S.S. Tucker）的船员。 6号图片：略显低落！即便有长滩理工高中的花球啦啦队女孩们助兴，这些坐在码头边缘桁条上的水兵们也难以展颜。缘由何在？他们均来自东部城市，正在等候来自家乡的欢迎队伍，而非本地舰友的迎接。 7号图片：待补充说明。 8号图片：水兵唐纳德·萨默斯夫妇与儿子拉里的特写镜头。拉里似乎并未对这是父亲第一次见到自己而表现出任何兴趣。"
