USN:
USS Wagner (DER-539) was a John C. Butler-class destroyer escort in service the United States Navy from 1955 to 1960. She had been launched in 1943 but her construction was suspended until 1954. She was completed as a radar picket ship. After only five years of service she was laid up and later sunk as a target in 1975
Chosen for completion as a radar picket escort ship, Wagner was towed to the Boston Naval Shipyard (the renamed Boston Navy Yard), where construction was resumed. Re-designated DER-539, Wagner was commissioned on 22 November 1955, Lt. Comdr. Edward A. Riley in command.
She departed Boston on 4 January 1956 for the Caribbean and conducted shakedown out of Roosevelt Roads, Puerto Rico. Returning north, Wagner joined Escort Squadron 18 and operated out of Newport, Rhode Island. The ship conducted radar picket duty on the seaborne extension of the Distant Early Warning (DEW) line—the Eastern Contiguous Radar Coverage System and the Atlantic Barrier—into late 1959. Primarily operating in the North Atlantic Ocean, Wagner interrupted these lonely vigils in the Atlantic Barrier patrol system with visits to U.S. East Coast ports and an occasional deployment to the warmer climes of the Caribbean for refresher training.

Night colour photograph of USS Antietam (CVS-36) launching a red-painted F9F Cougar jet fighter, during extremely well-lighted night operations, circa 1953. Other planes on her flight deck include F9F Panther and F3D Skynight fighters.

Antietam was operating out of Quonset Point, Rhode Island at that time. Acoording the crew member Joseph Y. Love, ETCM, USN (Ret.), this was a publicity shot for the flash bulb maker "Sylvania". No real flight operations took place and the aircraft were painted with a highly reflective paint.
