August 1962, View seen from the bow of the USS Brough during the beginning of the Cuban Crisis.
The coast of Cuba can be seen off on the right. To the extreme left is, USS Hissem, DER-400,
next is the USS Mackinaw (USCG vessel, may have been an ice breaker), and the larger ship
in front was the USS Betelgeuse, AK-260. Photo: Fred Weiss Collection.

View of the USS Brough starboard side twin 40 mm gun. Originally when the USS Brough was
built, she had one twin 40 mm gun, but as the air war developed in WWII the single twin 40mm
gun was replace with a double twin mount 40mm guns to enhance anti aircraft defense. This
view is only showing the starboard side twin gun mount but there are four gun barrels on a
double twin or quad 40 MM gun mount. Note the gun sighting device to the right of the gun
barrels. Photo: Fred Wiess Collection.
