A close view of the after decks of the United States Navy hydrofoil patrol gunboat Tucumcari (1967), looking down from the deck of the United States Navy tank landing ship Wood County (1957) at anchor in the Solent. The Tucumcari is hull-borne and only the aft end of her superstructure and her upper deck are in the picture. She is carrying two twin .50 calibre machine gun mountings on her superstructure and a fully automatic twin small calibre machine gun mounting on her faintail. The Tucumcari (1967) is on a round-Europe demonstration deployment supported by the tank landing ship Wood County (1957) which lasted from 5 April 1971 when they arrived at Copenhagen to 1 October 1971 when they sailed from the Mediterranean.
