A distant starboard side view, taken from ahead of the beam, of United States Navy amphibious warfare vessels at anchor off Cape Teulada, Southern Sardinia during the NATO exercise Dawn Patrol 74 which involved over sixty ships from the U.S.A., U.K., Italy, Turkey and Greece. The nearest of the ships is believed to be the amphibious transport dock Raleigh (1962). The photographer is on board the Royal Navy commando carrier Hermes (1953).
