Mystery Photos are are way for us to get information about some of the many
different aspects of the USS Little Rock, her life, her crew and her adventures.
They are not trick questions, but a bonafide search for information....

LITTLE ROCK's helicopter looking "squared away".
Who is he? Anyone know his name?

If you have a clue about this, shoot us an e-mail via the "Mystery Photo #29" topic on
