Lt. CDR. Elmer C. Hurley at his desk on board the HOPE (He was Executive Officer on the first voyage 1944-45 serving under Captain A. E. Richards). Lt. CDR. Hurley was Captain of the HOPE in 1946 at the time she was turned over to the Army.

A shot of several officers (Lt. CDR. Hurley is second from left) at Leyte Gulf. (perhaps someone can identify the others).

Lt. CDR. Hurley (L) with Colonel Max Keiser. I believe he was Chief Surgeon with the Army Hospital Group on board the HOPE.
