The United States Navy hydrofoil patrol gunboat Tucumcari (1967) alongside the tank landing ship Wood County (1957) in the Solent.

A close view of the stern and superstructure 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 the photographer is looking down and forward from abaft the ship's stern showing her aft end and superstructure. She is carrying two twin 0.50 calibre machine gun mountings on her superstructure on either side of her tripod mast 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.
